Repurposing -- everything old is new again

[newracer]

My wife and son drink a lot of Nesquick, both the small and large containers are great for storing various items, like brass.




So are Blue Bunny ice cream containers

I've cut up old shirts and socks and used them for cleaning patches.

Like fly boy mentioned above, I use the plastic coffee cans for sorting brass.


Not really repurposing I suppose but I once took the antenna off my vehicle at the range and used it as a makeshift cleaning rod to clear an obstruction from a rifle barrel.

I use the cheap one gallon ice cream pails to store ammo brass in.

Coolwhip containers on the workbench, lunch meat tubs used instead of tupperware for small leftovers (as another mentioned).

I should probably start using all the powdered creamer tubs for something too instead of tossing them.

Someone used mine (without my prior consent) to break into their vehicle.

I've got various brass bags that I don't like that I'm going to repurpose into extremely durable trash cans for all my vehicles.

I've used plastic coffee cans for chicken later boxes, screw and bolt holders. Also for feed and grain scoops. I've used pallets for building sheds and a barn now. I also used drill stem for the for the poles in the barn. I have been using hog fence panels to build Gideon walls. 90 lb roofing felt works great for shed flooring, after a couple coats of latex paint are applied to it.

I just repurposed part of an old belt to make a belt clip holster hanger in my work truck.
4 1/2" piece of belt, a couple of #8 machine screws and a few fender washers & nuts.... And now I have a place on the drivers side of the center console to put the holster, and of course what goes in it.

Irving, do you have mesh on the bottoms of those brass bags to allow dirt & debris to fall through ?
