Not me!
99% of my hardware is in (2) 12" x 16" x 2" Durham Mfg. metal
"suitcase" boxes with plastic interiors.
Did I mention I got them for $3/ea. at Durham's warehouse? <G>

Those aren't buckets of unsorted fasteners - they're gravity clamps.
You can never have too many clamps.

What kind of woodworkers are you? To qualify as bonafide woodworkers, you're
required to have on hand several of those 64 drawer sorting bins as well as
having a bucket of unsorted nuts, screws and bolts.
I'm calling up the 'Woodworkers master list' society and having your names
removed.

For screws, I keep 4 sizes in larger quantities: 1 1/4", 2", 2.5" 3.0" For
other hardware, it's usually what I needed for the last project. I've got
a bunch of 5/16" carriage bolts left over (and I'm still finding uses for
them), and several 1/2" lag bolts, for example.
When it comes to bolts and things, if I need more than 10 or so I'll look
in to buying a package of 25 or 50. One hardware store would give a couple
cent per piece discount if you bought a box.
I suspect this is fairly standard procedure for woodworkers, though...

Never saw the need for anything else yet.

I don't "know" what sizes he'd have, but I can guess...
...#6 x 3/4 and 1"
...#8 x 1" and 1 1/4
...#10 x 1 3/4" and 2 1/2"
I likely would not hold myself to 6 sizes...and in fact, I don't...but if I
had to, these are likely to be the sizes that I'd keep around then just buy
the ones that I need for a project. Or design/redesign the project to use
the screws that I have, if possible.

I also keep some #4 brass plated at 3/8" to 1/2" for smallish hinges in
smallish wood. I also have some deck screws and the like.

Stop pretending you didn't already know what hardware Norm keeps on
hand.
You can fool some folks, but _WE_ know you!

Don't have them remove mine, unfortunately I'm exactly as you
describe, much to my dismay as I'm trying to find that piece of
hardware I know I have.
The success rate at finding that thing you know you have and avoiding
a trip to the hardware store is about one time in ten around here.
