   That's fine until you knock the muffin tin off the workbench.

   Of course, that assumes the screws are magnetic. I recently assembled a   
   PiDog.

   I think the smallest screws were M1.5x3 and the largest were M3x6. All the   
   fasteners were in separate ziplock bags and identified but keeping track   
   of them was fun. The magenetic holders saved me several times.   
   Unfortunately the plastic push rivets weren't magnetic but they were a   
   little easier to keep track of.   
      
   My eyes and my patience ain't what they used to be.   
      
   The cat isn't sure what it is but suddenly decided it was time for a   
   stroll outside.
