Wee Wee Pad for your Henry

[BillyBoy]

Hi all!

Figured the heading would get your attention! Seriously, over time I'll share some tricks from the shop.

Out in the shop, I do precision instrument design, machining and assembly, and a lot of other stuff like gunsmithing. I like to use what's called a Wee-Wee Pad, AKA "Training Pad", used for potty training puppies, as a work surface. A popular brand is Piddle Pad. At any pet supply shop, most markets and big box stores. Run about 30 cents each in packs of 14 - 50 or so.

They make a great work surface, as the pad is soft, absorbent and lint free, and is backed with a water proof layer that keeps stuff off the bench. Usually about two-feet square, they're a perfect size. Absorbs cleaning fluids, oils, etc., and also protects your gun from damage. And just roll up the mess and toss! Super neat trick!

I also like to use "Rags" (trade name) for general cleaning. Soft, made of a cotton/cellulous blend, they are at any Ace Hardware and most big box stores.

Just some tricks! More to come...
