No matter what grief your spouse or your so-called friends may give you about those jars of bits & pieces in your garage or laundry room, it's all worth it when you can unscrew that peanut butter jar lid, fish around and find the perfect thing to fit exactly what you need when you need it without having to go to the store.
I've got a jar of assorted weights, including some copper ingots - little blueberry or grape sized lumps of copper my grandfather collected somewhere along the tracks in Radford, VA when he worked there in the yard. It was either a spill or wreck of some sort. They have been glued into assorted freight cars over the years.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
