When i was younger my Father and most other men in the neighborhood had a collection of coffee cans and baby food jars[ with all manner of nails and screws in them problem was you had to take each can down , empty it, to see if it had the item you were looking for. My late wife had hundreds of "Rubbermaid" containers because when used to heat items like Spaghetti or Lasagna for lunch at work if you let it heat too long it would melt the inside and it was done when she would run out of the size she liked to use she would buy another set. I have started re-building my lawnmower shed and found a way to repurpose the containers she didn't use./size]

And this time I added shelves to the lawnmower barn!

I bought some drawer type organizers that were on closeout at Christmas time for T parts. Time and elements will make them brittle.

My Grandfather used baby food jars ( small & large) and mayonnaise jars. He screwed the lids to wooden rotisseries so he could see what was inside then just unscrew the jar from the lid on the down side so nothing spilled out. My Grandparents recycled everything but toilet paper.
