So I decided to organize the Tonewood stash. I've kept a spreadsheet fort the last 8 years. So when I went to organize the back and side sets, how is it I come up with 30 backs and 18 sides that are missing their corresponding sets. It's not like a washing machine where socks go missing every time you use it lol |

As I get older it’s shocking to me how quickly I forget certain details. I label all my sets and have a spreadsheet of inventory, just like you. However, if the notes are not overly verbose, I can’t even remember what I meant by them. Not just notes from years ago, but months ago! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I'm dreading this myself. I have a spreadsheet with all my back and side sets listed but the backs and sides are in different stacks. I moved and my shop has been in storage for a couple years. I'm terrified that I will have not marked things well enough (I wasn't expecting this to take years) and I will not be able to match everything back up. |

I just use bins. Each back is kept in the same bin as the sides. Underbed storage boxes are perfect for this… |

David, are you sure some of those missing sides and backs aren’t in the stash of wood you generously sent me? |

Chris: Just call me the wood masochist. Brad: I keep track of everything down to peg heads, bridges and head caps. I take really good notes and label. I dunno know what happened I swear I didn't do anything Bryan: that sounds rough. Meddling: great idea but I have 400 sets of Ukulele and 125 Guitar Sets its getting crazy in here lol Craig: Now you're messing with me lol I'm like did I send him anything? |

I have a really good memory and I periodically go through my wood around 80 sets...so it's all in my head and if I forget about a set or two it's a nice surprise when I find it! |

Most of my sets are labelled but I definitely have more than a few boards that I always thought I would remember what type of wood they were. That's not working out for me in a few cases.  Some beautiful wood in some cases. Maybe once I resaw I'll remember.
