Those orange pulleys would make some seriously PUNK earrings.
I have been thinking of actually trying to score a used file cabinet for this purpose, but L would kill me if she knew I wanted to keep that many bike parts on hand. Still, the two large plastic tubs are full and I actually like having the stuff on hand for family and friends” bikes.
Can a bike freak ever have too many spares?

I just rearranged my shop again, but haven”t tossed anything yet. I actually acquired a bike to rebuild as a cross bike for a friend, so I might be coming to you with a shopping list.

one thing i learned is that while lathe is wood, it does not necessarily hold 6 bikes up. 3 1/2 ” screws(versus 2 1/2″) fixed that problem.

The orange things are pulleys from some sort of downhill bicycle chain management device. I needed one of the brackets from the device for a headlight mount on my old recumbent tandem. The orange pulleys are perfect examples of items that I should toss.

Suddenly, I feel better about my two plastic bins, though certainly I should still find a place to donate the excess.
