All this talk of keeping parts separate, here's what works for me:  if you
know someone who owns a diner, ask them for  one of their egg crates.  Made
of a cardboard like material, usually has depressions for 5 dozen eggs (60
dips).  Take a "Sharpie" and mark the screw sizes, on the inside of the
drepression.  I sometimes will double up similar or parts that are used
together.  At a glance you can see all your parts and use accordinly.

As a bonus, when you kit is finished and you are on to your next project,
turn the egg crate 90 degrees an write the new part numbers again on the
inside.

One egg crate has served me through 2 K2s with all the bells and whistles,
three K3s, KX3s KPA500, and more.  And when its time to discard it makes
great BBQ fire starter.
