Wood Scrap Bin

What?!? You are allowed to throw scrap away? :)

Nice bin, looks much better.

thats a great idea i gotta make one , my scrap wood usually ends up in the wood stove cause there is so much of it.

That is a helluva nice looking cart. Now you have to find something to make with the scraps.

It’s like taking inventory. You get to see what you got to use on the next project so you don’t have to run out and buy what you already have.

I worry that you don’t have enough clamps. Seriously, I need to make me one of those.

If you want I can email you the sketchup model for it, it’s dirt easy to make

@RonPeters
I agree, having everything tossed in buckets and a wheelbarrow made it difficult to know what I already had

@kcrandy
You can never have enough clamps

I hear you the wood just grows in the corner. Hard to get rid of any of it. Nice work on the storage bin. Should help.

Be careful… that wood so close can reproduce… more small pieces!

That looks like a good solution and a nice build. As for myself, it is the single biggest problem for me in keeping my little shop in order. I have tried a lot of different types of storage, but nothing ever seems to work out for me in the long run.

I went to a kitchen cabinet shop one day quite a few years ago to see if they had any cutoffs I might be able to buy. The owner directed me to a room of about 250 sq.ft. It had a mountain of cutoffs in it about 7ft. high at the peak. Mostly oak. He said “take whatever you like, no charge” After many years woodworking, I now know why he was giving it away for free. In spite of this, I still find it extremely difficult to throw away or burn any cutoffs.

I wish that I had enough room in my shop for a wood bin cart. I just don’t have the room. The only solution to my wood is to build a storage shed outside my shop. However, I haven’t done it yet. I really need one. The cart that you built is nice and will make your shop more organized.

This looks great…and practical. Throwing out scraps/cutoff/etc. is painful for me but storage is always a challenge. If you could send me the Sketchup that would be great. I will message you with my email. Thanks Jeremy.
