Box Keeps Parts Organized
 ✖  |
Rick Nudd, Walworth, N.Y.: “When I disassemble and reassemble small things like carburetors, I do it in a cardboard box. This way, if a spring jumps or parts fall out, they are easy to find and retrieve. The box is clean, and with the bottom closed, it doesn’t offer many places for small parts to hide. Sometimes, I line the bottom and sides with paper that covers the box’s bottom crevices.
“I like boxes with closed bottoms and front cutouts from discount grocery stores in our area. They encourage us to take groceries home in their empty boxes instead of paper bags, which are taxed in New York. These are great for reaching into instead of down into the box. They make an ideal ‘surgery center’ for complicated components with small parts and a clean work area, which can be thrown away after use.”
