Mobile scrap cart

This looks like a great idea! I am just afraid of MY problems with throwing anything away would lead me to build a dozen or more of these. I think I need to go on the “quit scrapping” wagon!

Thanks Mike. I could easily spend all my time organizing my shop and be quite happy doing it. Other than tools, though, I’m a ruthless thrower-outer.

-- No, I don't want to buy the pink hammer.

This is a super idea and well done!
If you look at my workshop you will notice a Huggies box and a few orange buckets in one picture.
Yeah, full of cuttoffs. I cant seem to bring myself to disguard them.
I will be using your idea.
Thanks!

-- I cut it twice and it's still too short!

Always good to organize. At least that’s what they tell me :-)

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

Chris – I was just ogling your shop, and had noticed the huggies box! Ellen35’s cutoff cart is nicely done. The other mobile carts I had seen were huge things that would take up too much room in my shop/garage.

-- No, I don't want to buy the pink hammer.

I could use this, all mine sits on a small shelf unit that I made or inside a packing crate. When they started to overflow too much I just made a dozen cutting boards. Might have to make another dozen soon.

I need one too! I have boxes full of cut offs and the stuff in the bottom never get seen again!

I like this because everything is visible but I would need one at least twice that size!

Girl you get way tooooo organized …. :-)

take care

Using what was once thought of as “scraps” and it’s functional to boot. What more could you ask… it’s great!

Very nice – I should probably make something like this – right now I’m tossing all of my “leftovers” into the same bin, and digging through it to look for bits I need for a project can be a serious pain.

yep- liking this. I could really use some organization of my wood and scraps beyond my highly ineffective “piles” system. Now to seach those piles for the wood to make it…

This looks great. I am going to have to build myself one of these based on your design. Looks like you’ve thought of almost everything. Thanks!

-- It's better to have a tool and not need it than to need a tool and not have it.

Thanks gents,

After having used this for a while now, it’s messier but still keeping my scraps tidy. The only thing I would change is if you make it a touch longer than 4’ so that you can fit a 1/2 piece of 4×8 ply in the back.

I’m late to the party, but nicely done.

I need to make something along these lines. I’ll have to wait though, until my shop setup solidifies & dictates a location and space availabilty!!!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow! If good things come to those who wait.... Why is procrastination a bad thing?

I’m later yet. Your projects are all helpful for making woodworking safe and easier. I’m just starting and going backwards. LOL!

You could modify the back with a rack to hold the plywood sheets?
