 Hi Van Dell!!
you could color code the sizes using model paints.  Put up a chart 
showing the color codes.  A dot of hunter green might be 1/2", a dot of 
orange might mean 5/8", etc.    If you use the tools a lot, then maybe 
you want to put a layer of acrylic on it, either spray on or something 
like clear nail polish.

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit.  It's like "Just Do It!"&  "Go for It!")
