 Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 7:39 am Post subject: Dumb hardware inventory question |
 |
|
I have a few plastic bags of hardware, mostly in the 507 number range that I do not have listed on the Finish hardware, the FWF hardware, or anywhere else I can find. Was looking all over for some baffling hardware, like the two spark plug access hole covers, and finally found these 3 or 4 bags that were not listed anywhere that I can see.
About the time I began on the fuselage, I stopped emptying all the bags of parts into labeled drawers and found it was generally easier to take the part number in the plans, find it on the inventory and go to the numbered bag. One of these days, I think would be a good project to take and combine the hardware inventory lists into a complete, single spreadsheet of parts by bag number, that was searchable by computer, to speed things up for future builders. Just as soon as I find the round tuit.

I scanned all my inventory lists into one searchable PDF file in Evernote. I left everything grouped with one bag per drawer in several plastic hardware cabinets. If I do not find something immediately, then I search for the part on my iPad. I can then find the bag/drawer number.Works well. With a searchable PDF, you do not need a spreadsheet. It only took a couple of minutes to setup. Some common hardware items, such as bolts, nuts, nut plates, etc might be easier to find in separate drawers.

Sounds good. I agree, acrobat searchable is just as good as spreadsheet.
Would you consider sharing your document?
