Parts Vial-ated

I spent today pulling 0603 parts out of the tape and putting them into vials with the help of my daughter. I picked up this method of organizing parts from by buddy Dave. The parts go into vials and are velcroed on to metal pages in a binder that zips closed. This keeps things organized and compact. It also lets me create sheets of parts based on my BOM. It is a bit tedious but thats the price you pay for staying organized.
