Progress
Not quite finished, but much closer. Most of the things remaining on the workbench are nails. Varying sizes from brads to 3″ or more. I wanted to finish sorting these today but it was time to make dinner.
I have put many extra tools and supplies into the giveaway pile, but at this point kept the, now organized, wood screws (flat head and round head), machine screws, nuts, hex bolts, and washers that live in the grey organizer on the left side of the workbench. I haven’t had cause to look for much out of here recently. I guess I’m not in a creating or fixing stage as much anymore. And yet, they may get to live in our house for a while longer.
But not all. The coffee can is more than half full of nails. I’ll keep some, but the hardware store isn’t too far away if we start another big project. And those we don’t keep will be given away. I do have a pail of metal recycling going as well.

I think my late husband had or has a coffee can full of nails in the garage. I’ve been through a lot of his stuff-but not all.

Coffee cans were definitely a thing. We have two that were made into pails with addition of a handle. Seattle recycling asks that small metal for recycling be put into a metal container. Easier said than found.
