So, Now What?

Workshop Hoarder

Hoarding is bad in every place besides the workshop.  Out there, you never know when a random piece is going to come in handy.  I have drawers full of bolt, screws, and nuts of all kinds as well as whatever else might come in useful someday.  You never know when that orphaned caster wheel will save the day on some future project.

It sounds silly but I have found it to be a life saver.  Many times I've made use of something that I held onto for no real reason and was able to keep from spending more money on something new.  Plus, machining your own solutions for things out of scrap parts is fun.
