Does anyone use a system to catalog what materials they have in stock; whether for professional or hobby use?
I don't live where I store my materials, and I'm starting to build up quite the collection of odds and ends. Rather than end up ordering things I don't need or spending time travelling to and then sifting through what I have to see if I have what I need; I'm considering setting up a simple spreadsheet to record what I have in stock. Then if I get an idea for a project I can quickly find out if I have enough materials in stock or what I need to order, whilst at home.
Before I delve into Open Office, just wondered if anyone as done something similar, have any suggestions or if there are any salient points that'll be worth knowing before I begin...
As always, thank you.
