Not exactly re-purposing, but this is my idea. I'm in the process of building several miniature stationary steam engines or mini pumps or machines for the engines to run. So to keep the various parts with the machine where they belong, I went to Wally World and bought a few clear plastic shoe boxes. Each machine has a box. Along with the parts, I put a photocopy of the plans for that machine in the box too. That way when I pick up one of them to work on, everything is (supposed to be) there.
As I do the model building, I have a number of small diameter brass and steel rods and tubing. On one wall, I mounted some small "L" brackets, about 5 inches long. I cut some plastic rain gutter into 3-4 ft. lengths and set them on "L" brackets. One holds the steel tubing, one the brass tubing, one the steel rods, and one the brass rods. When I need one of those items, I set the "gutter" on the work bench, dig out what I need, then put the gutter back on its brackets. Helps keep things a little neater.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
