Pass it on... Post a tip or a trick you know about for what ever it is.

When you're taking something apart that has lots of small hardware, put a large white towel underneath it. This makes it really easy to find the small bits, and they stay where you put them.

Another tip for the small hardware, especially when assembling a kit, is to use an egg carton or a box that assorted Jelly Beans come in. It allows you to quickly separate all the pieces in their own little compartments.

Also, if your keys ever fall into a pit of molten lava, just let 'em go ... cause man, they're gone. (Jack Handey)
