What do you do with your scrap wood? Do you throw it in a box or drum? Do you store it anywhere it will fit? I have a 16x16 wooden box on top of 2x4 legs with two shelves in the 2x4s via dadoes. The top of the box stands about 4' tall. It is getting in the way. I am looking to do something else.
What do you do?

Tim and Beeg,
I might be convinced if you would post photos of your accumulation of "cutoffs". Do you really walk the talk or is your shop as clean and neat as the dining room before company arrives.

Do you really walk the talk or is your shop as clean and neat as the dining room before company arrives.We have had this conversation before, dusty. My shop is a disaster. I wood knot show you pictures if I had them. I do have one saving grace; my father sneaks out scrap for his fireplace, but he never takes the good pieces. :rolleyes: BTW, I posted to Beeg thinking he was joking. Do you think he is serious?
