How do you do this: How can I organize fasteners and parts when putting things together?
When disassembling a piece of furniture that needs to be repaired or moved, thread the screws and nails into a piece of rigid foam and group similar fasteners together or arrange them however it will be most helpful when piecing the furniture back together, also write on the foam with a pen or marker to label the fasteners or to make notes that will be helpful when reassembling the piece at a later time.
