Two things you should always keep in your shop are large plastic bags and plastic peanut butter jars. You likely already keep trash bags around to cover blocks, heads, and other assemblies to keep them clean. Now, think about covering your machines and equipment to keep them free of grit, dirt, and dust. Your equipment will stay in better shape much longer. Plastic peanut butter jars are great organizers for bolts, hardware, and other components, and you can keep them with certain jobs as they move through the shop. The jars will keep things dry and rust-free. Another advantage is that, because of the visibility, no labels are needed.
