Small Parts Tray - I am often trying to get little screws and other hardware into the little ziplock bags and this saves a lot of hair.  ;)

Nice. I bought one of the dispenser trays that pharmacists use for bottling drugs a couple years ago. I use it to sort out jelly beans, and other small candies, into small "doses" and put them into small bags. This limits the amount of candy that I eat at a time to the recommended serving size - trying to cut my sugars/carbohydrates to keep my blood sugar down.

When I was working at Parallax, I also created a project that I didn't have the chance to publish. It was a parts counter. You would dump screws, nuts, etc into the hopper and it would counter out specific numbers into containers. I'm thinking I should rebuild this at some point.

That sounds pretty cool. It would be really useful for preparing kits/packages of hardware.

I don't remember seeing this before. Have you written it up before?

I had roughly 6 projects ready to publish in Nuts and Volts as well as Servo magazine when I got the news that I was being laid off. After that, all projects stopped. I lost everything that was in storage, so I have to start over on many things. But I remember almost all the details.
