Amazon, you can get 35 Chinese take away tubs with lids for about 8 quid, great for assemblies and you can write on them and easy to stack store.
Good for washing individual parts in small amounts of expensive cleaner too.

Take photos from every angle and take them and then take them again, you can’t have too many

Hi Roo 🤗

Your the 2nd person who has suggested the Chinese or even Indian take aways are good suppliers of cheap plastic storage containers 🤗 Trouble is they don't do your cholesterol any good 😒 but do make you feel better after you eaten one or two  ;D, Spoke to Ken last week he seems to be doing ok and working away in his emporium 😉.

Roo, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, new containers from Amazon! Sod that, eat the takeaways

I’m a fan of the zip tie bags but admittedly they don’t stack very well, and you have to remember to write on them before you pack your nuts in them! 😳 🤭 I am also partial to a takeaway also. Indian or Chinese.😜

When I rebuilt my 500 engine, I had it all spread out in one corner of my flat sitting room, laid out logically on the floor boards ready for reassembly, the small bits in tins and jam jars, labelled.  I didn't have a workshop or indeed a camera in those days but I did have a Haynes manual.  The engine took up quite a large area but it was handy to be able to see it all every day and stay familiar with progress.  My girlfriend, now my wife, was not at all perturbed by this which looking back surprises me somewhat; it should have set all sorts of alarm bells ringing.  I managed to get the whole thing dismantled and reassembled within a week or two, in the evenings after work.  This was in 1995 and it is still running now.
