For those that never experienced 35mm SLR cameras and had a chance to accumulate a stash of film canisters, I wonder what they put small stuff in to store in their flight boxes??  Digital is cool, but film did have a small side benefit!

Dan, the old DOC used to use the film canasters, but now the real doctor has me on pills.  Guess I'm a druggy now.   But the pill bottles come in two sizes so far and that is where all my small parts are going.

35mm film canisters also make AWESOME "poor man cheshire" tools for telescopes!  drill a 2mm hole in the bottom (which is always conveniently marked because of the molding process), and voila!  easy Newtonian basic setup!

Childproof caps on the pill bottles have me stymied, so I’m sticking with the film cans.

The new lids are easier for me than the older ones.

I built drawers into my workbench.  One large drawer, 15" wide and 10" deep has only sandpaper.  I tend to not toss out used sandpaper, because it's still good!  Amazing how much accumulates!  I discovered I had at least 10 pieces of 220 grit, mostly used.  After tossing out some of the smaller pieces, the drawer is now sort of organized.
