I use a different parts system. I have a box of sandwich baggies, index
cards, and something to write with. When I remove the fasteners, I label
what they go to, and put them in a box. Since assembly is reverse order,
the bags are in roughly the right order in the box.
My first go of this was in the '70s when I had long hair. The grocery
clerk clearly assumed I was bagging weed.
Cheers,
Dave Ambrose
