The caps I tried to organize in piles on the desk with the values
written in pencil on the desk, there are a LOT of caps and a LOT

If you are more organized, a fishing tackle box or something similar
with lot's of little compartments to label also helps.
I found Ice Cube Trays to be the best way to organize the parts....took
me four of them. You'll definitely need to sort your caps out by
numbers. I also made a tilting vise by using those pistol grip
expanding jaw clamps used in woodworking, mounting it on a pedestal (the
one I found came out of a sporting goods store and is for mounting on
the edge of a boat to hold a fishing rod...that in turn was mounted to a
piece of board...and I had a perfect tilting vise for about 20 bucks
total. At 54, I second the round magnifying light...mine was from
Office Depot for about 35 bucks...lots of other places had them for
90+....and, I found using that magnifying light/lamp it worked as a
solder-smoke deflector so it wasn't drifting directly into my face as I
worked.
