    Well I wasn't going to chime in - but I guess I do it differently. 

    I use one of the red Craftsman tool chests - the ones that go on top
    of the big rolling red carts. 

    I have Argentium in the top drawer, sheet, wire and solder. 

    Second drawer - round plain sterling - tagged or in plastic bag 

    Third drawer - funny shaped sterling wire - rectangular, square,
    pattern, half round, etc. 

    Fourth drawer - spooled round wire - 22 gauge and finer - for chains
    and spools of bezel wire. 

    Fifth drawer - in file folders - flat sheet sterling and in a
    separate pile reticulation sheet and fine sheet. 

    Yes I have too much stuff - but I can find it, and almost never run
    out. 

    And for the daily bits - a 48 drawer box from the container store.
    Its where I put the 25 pieces of polished fused this'n that, the
    longer than scrap bezel, the reusable bits of gold, sheets of
    reticulated silver. All the stuff that used to take up residence on
    my bench. Best $25 I spent last year. 

    Gold stuff lives in bench drawers and gets locked up daily.
