I have found an alternative to plastic bags for the small bits is egg
cartons. I label each carton alphabetically and each egg cup numerically,
i.e. A-1, A-2, etc. I write down each step as I go along and note the
carton and cup numbers on the notes where fasteners or small parts are
involved. I also note what wrench (excuse me, spanner) I used and its size.
As they say, "Assembly is the reverse of disassembly". My notes assure that
I get everything back in the correct order and don't have to waste time
hunting for the correct tool. Rarely have parts left over. ;-)
