Pizza Boxes.....

[growr]

Recently discovered a new use for a pizza box before discarding into the trash....I use it as a mat on the counter when I am cleaning my handguns and then any spilled cleaners or over spray are in the box and not on my counter...also is handy when disassembling my handguns so that I can clean them. Screws, pins, whatever stay in the box as well. When cardboard is dirty or soaked, then I toss it....
Just a thought....

Now I know why that last piece of pizza always tastes like Gun Scrubber and Hoppes #9.

You are supposed to wait until the pizza is gone before you use! Couldn't figure out why my guns smelled like pepperoni...now I know.. LOL!

Randy,
Sounds like a keen idea. I'm guessing you put some news paper or something down in the box first...right?

I use to work at a pizza place and would keep the coarboard circles the pizza shells came with.I would hang them from tree branches with string as targets.When the wind blew,it gave you a moving target.thats how I use to practice with my 686.gunnut2u

Hoppe's #9 will dissolve that residue.

I bet it's real interesting in a Cajun Courtroom. All the Latin and Cajun being spoken at one time! You'd need a real good interpreter!

I feel sorry for the stenographer!

Cajun, do you remember that old radio ad in the early 60s for Dr. Kissners mouth antispetic? I was working in louisianna in 1963 and heard it on the radio often. Wondered what the big deal was and one of my guys explained that everybody drank it for the alcohol!

Once I found some business' magnetic side that had fallen off a vechile. I turn it magnetic side up when working on small items and leave turn the other way as a work pad. Does great

For dis-assembling a Firearm I staple a length of Duct Tape at both ends onto a piece of cardboard or wood.
Each part or screw is put on the Duct Tape as taken off in a row. When re-assembling reverse the row.
This keeps the parts or screws from hiding/lost.

I use pizza boxes when I change the oil in my truck. I put the black oil catcher in the box and put it all under the truck. The box catches what misses the oil catcher. Which, the way I do it is usually more than makes it in the oil catcher

It is Dr. Tischner's and it was 75% alcohol with a healthy dose of peppermint extract-not for the faint hearted

Sick as I ever got was in about 7th grade when we tried drinking it cut with coke

That stuff was used for everything from mouthwash to linament to disinfectant to carb cleaner

I like to dissasemble my guns in a big box with a lid; it makes them so much easier to carry to the gunsmith's that way.

Gradoux, now there's a word I haven't heard in a while. Sort of brings back old memories...

Now that's a good idea.
Thanks

I work with a guy who does something similar, except he's anal retentive about it. While he was working on a large pump assembly, I discovered his cardboard with all the bolts in order...and numbered...and clean as a surgeon's scalpel.

I scrounged up three similar bolts from a dead pump. I cleaned and numbered them and placed them on his cardboard. Several weeks passed before he got the parts needed to re assemble his pump. Several extra days passed before he could admit to having parts left over and needing "Somebody to take a look at this, 'cause I just can't figure it out".

I use my pizza boxes as target backing. They work pretty good and when they get shot up, I just patch them with another piece to repair it. I use the 50 meter bulls-eye paper targets so the backing prevents limp................. paper

I tape the corners up and fill the box with concrete mix. Cheap stepping stones.
