[Elecraft] k3s radio kit

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Ha, Ha!!! Actually I do most of the cooking here and have a fondness for
Brie and Camembert cheese that comes in little circular wooden containers
about 4.5 inches in diameter and an inch high. They are my favorite parts
boxes. If I'm sorting a bunch of small screws by size, etc., I use many of
them put a slip of paper in with them that shows the size in that container.


A bench discipline that I maintain is to NEVER (make that 24 point Gothic)
set a screw or other small part on the table. It MUST go into one of those
containers. That saves me from putting a bit of panty hose or sheer stocking
over the end of my vacuum suction hose and carefully going over the entire
floor until the missing part is stuck to the hose covering the vacuum
opening. 

A lot of builders have weighed in with their favorite tools to build. Wayne
has asked me to keep the tool list to what is needed. I use ONLY the tools
in the list in the manual (even though I may have other favorites) to build
the test units. We didn't want people to think they had to run out and buy a
bunch of special tools. If you have something that works better for you, by
all means use it.

Hey folks, stop raiding your wife's kitchen; go to your local store (Walmart
is where I went) and look in the sports dept for tackle boxes.  You're
likely to find similar clear plastic organizer boxes for the home shop.  I
have several of them to hold and organize small parts, hardware, electronic
components, etal.
