[Elecraft] KPA500 Build

[Larry stowell]

When I built my K3 I went to the craft store and bought a plastic box with the dividers. I have an
Dymo label printer and printed out a label for each screw and put it in the divider with each size
screw. Worked well

I also picked up several of the magnetic dishes from Harbor Freight, these work great when have to
take anything apart for the hardware (as long as it magnetic).

I like muffin tins (a suggestion I read on here, I think).  And because 
I'm afraid I'll have an attack of clumsy and send the contents flying, I 
wrap the tin in plastic wrap after I populate it.  A slit made in the 
plastic with scissors lets fingers or pliers in to retrieve a part while 
still keeping it spill-resistant.
