For the (over?) engineered storage box for Isaac Newton’s death mask, Adam Savage chose aluminum and an archival-quality polymer.
I went into this hoping for a solution to my “how do I store all of my random stuff from having lots of projects and interested”, and while I enjoyed the article, I am shocked to report that my question was not answered.
Strange to imagine that I don’t have the exact same needs as archivists.
Me too. But I will pass on that transparent packing (boxes, bags, etc) is the way to go. I’ll pack smaller items in zip lock bags (they come in sizes from “snack” to 4 gallon) then they go in transparent boxes. It’s amazing that being able to see into makes finding thing so much faster. I’ve also found that hanging jewelry bags are awesome for parts storage in a closet. Good luck on your journey.
