Hey Ron,
Well, I currently have three of the drawer units from HomeBase that you'd
use in the garage for holding screws and whatnot. I put all my small and
specialized bits in those.
Then I have larger rubbermaid-style shoe boxes I got at KMart, and I have
those sorted by color, and then further sorted into bricks and plates, and
some colors I've sorted out the slopes as well. I intend to sort out all the
slopes eventually.
HTH,
