Does anyone have a simple solution to sorting woodies by size? I'm not very fond of touching them and was wondering if there's a 'hands free' way to do it.

I get what you mean though. I have friends who get icked out easily who won't go near my woodie tubs...

Don't forget you'll need teflon painted on the sides of all containers to stop them climbing out! |

For some strange reason I still sort them by hand

Hope that helps |

| | | | Yep, buckets with holes drilled in the bottom and teflon painted around the top. Stack them inside each other and tip in the woodies. You can grade them into as many different sizes you want just add extra buckets with the appropriate sized holes. |
