inventory

[Jurgen Goering]

I don't know why one would need to keep such exact tabs on amounts of 
piano wire used and remaining in stock, however I suggest weighing the 
canisters/coils when they are new and again when you want to know how 
much wire is left.  No need to keep a running tab on amounts used.  
There are tables to let you know how many feet of a given gauge make up 
a pound of wire.  A simple spreadsheet will give you the exact footage 
when you input the weight.  This requires a scale, of course.  
Precision to one gram should be sufficient.
