You've only got one compartmented storage box?  :-)

I wouldn't say I'm exactly fascinated by fasteners and such, but I find
it's always better to have too many than too few!

One of my basement storage shelves, and my workbench when it's not too
cluttered, looks more like a small parts warehouse than your average
home workshop.  The other shelves are stuffed with parts and strange
bits of hardware and things with wires sticking out.

One other corner of my basement *is* a datacentre (three cabinets and
various sundry bits on the wall and floor, plus a work table permanently
covered with systems and parts).
