Mike, I label the boxes with sharpie after the tung oil finish has cured, but that’s generally a week or two after the pictures have been taken. Doing it that way means if I later reuse a box, I can sand off the sharpie and oil fairly quickly and relabel the box.
But I also have a freakish memory for some things, and identifying what’s in a box by its outside shape seems to be part of that for now. I’m sure that’ll evaporate as I get older, so I do eventually label things.
Thanks, Eric, Oldrivers! It’s an ongoing process, but I now have a space on my workbench larger than a sheet of letter paper available for working on. I am going to have to build a shelf (or add a shelf to one of my other work surfaces) soon, though.
