** I've created a suggested [[Media:Sample-Fix8-order.pdf|socket-cap order]] from [http://www.fix8.co.uk/ Fix8]. Having just ordered similar stuff from ModelFixings at a far greater per unit cost, I'd be pleased to see such items stocked in the space. The problem with the traditional DIY packs is that the range is limited, and while the variety per pack is ok, the individual quantities are small.

** Is it worth doing stock-keeping for really low-value items? I'm thinking the value of our time would be more than the cost of the item.

*** It is not that the items are valuable, but that there are so many different types of each component that it is currently difficult to keep track of what we specifically do and do not have, and it is frustrating when a particular component that should be available is not.  An efficient stock keeping system could ensure that component types are reordered in good time, and that is what I am aiming to achieve.  [[User:Robert|Robert]] 20:08, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

They're no bigger than a domestic one, but will have a stronger mechanism, very few fancy features, and will usually be mounted in a worktable about 800x500mm.
