What I do with every large project is a heap of heavy tubs (bunnings) and variety of zip lock bags, permanent marker pen. Every part gets tagged and stored away and kept out of the weather. Large shelving units help as well. As my projects take so long to complete working away all the time, at least when I do get back and want to start on something the part is easy to find. Also only do one part at a time so you don't end up with several little jobs on the go. I have found doing it this way is the best and you seem to achieve more on your days off. When I build a vehicle the chassis is the first thing I want completed then driveline then cab. When I had my own workshop full time, I built many vehicles, trucks & machinery with my staff and this was always the best way for me.
