[Swansea Hackspace] Storage suggestions

[Nathan Hackett]

I've had great success with these things-

The organisational flexibility they give you is amazing. The three-tray box
is perfect for small boards and chips. The single tray box is good for
loose parts.

To the right of the soldering desk, against the back of the metal cabinets,
there's a gap which is the perfect depth for a whole grid of them...
I am happy to make the shelving to hold it, could be done for £30 in
plywood. Or someone could donate some scrap.
As always cost might be an issue, perhaps we could get them in small
batches as needed?
