    Hello Judy, This is a great question and opportunity for a very
    useful thread.  Good going. 

    Color coding helps me a lot... For instance, on file handles, a
    bright red band means coarse, pink means medium, etc.  A similar
    coding on bur shanks.  Plus it's a great way to use up old nail
    polish <G>.  This wouldn't be too effective for color-blind folks. 

    Here's a question though.  I've been keeping each gauge of each kind
    of wire in a separate ziploc bag and writing the gauge/wire type on
    the same corner of each bag.  I use small stacking drawers and
    designate a drawer for each type of wire (round, half-round,
    patterned, etc.)  This method is becoming an exercise in shuffling
    plastic!  How do others manage this??? 

  Judy in Kansas, where spring is on hold... again.
