Introduction: My Portable Electronic Components Tackle-box
This is my Portable Electronic Component Tackle-box. I've found it to be the best way to organize all of my electronic components, while maintaining a portable form factor, meaning I can take it wherever I go. (I'm probably bringing it on my next vacation!)
Here's how I made it.
Step 1: Parts Needed
If you would like to replicate my storage solution you will need the following:
- Tackle-box (You can find these at any outdoor shop, even Walmart)
- Sticker Labels
- Electronic Components (of course!)
(I also added my Makey Makey and my Arduino Uno later on.)
Step 2: The Bigger Stuff
I put my perf-board down on the bottom, as well as my soldering iron, desolder gun, solder, continuity tester, manuals, extra wires, and wire strippers.
Step 3: Organizing Capacitors
I organized the capacitors from least to greatest uF.
Then i put them in the tacklebox and labeled them accordingly.

Step 4: Resistors!
as i already have stated, i have 2,000 resistors that i got for 10$ bucks off eBay :) Luckily they were already sorted in bags and labeled. PHEW. i couldn't fit them into a section, so i put them in the bottom.
Step 5: Other Components
I added my other components in empty sections, and organized my other capacitors(remember to label!).
Everything fit nicely!
Everything fit nicely!
Step 6: Finished!
after i got all the parts in and organized, i taped in the resistor chart and i was done!
now i can bring it wherever i go!
(i also taped in Radioshack's store Business card, which has there number on it)
