Scrappiest of scrap wood projects.
The proportions are odd, but it’s designed to fit under the landing of the stairs going into the garage. Makes a good use of an otherwise awkward space. Like everything else in the shop, it’s on casters to allow for easy movement and cleaning around.
Most of this wood was from the big lifting tower I used to get the dust collector motor into place.
I’m going to name it Scrappy.
Next episode on Pimp My Wood…

Or should it be lumber?
Pimp my timber
Ermagerd, completely overlooked that, and it fits (hurhur) the scrap def way better!
Name it Chuck.
Wood Chuck.
Cause it’s where you chuck wood
A fancy storage for scrap?
What, 2 five gallon buckets and a pile leaned up against the wall too good for you ?
What a snob.
😉
Five gallon buckets? Luxury…
Yo dawg
I heard u like scrap wood
So I put scrap wood in your scrap wood
so you can scrap scrap wood while you scrap wood
Came here to say the thing, but the gif says more than the words ever will.
Solves two problems; gives you a spot to put scrap, and also gives a use for said scrap.
Also encourages you to keep more scrap.
This is key
I mean, what if I need it someday?
that is awesome
“…and when I was done, I found I had no more scrap wood to store!”
No Gauls were harmed in the making of this scrap wood bin.
You didn’t say, so I’m asking:
Does the scrap wood bin get made from the scrappiest, least otherwise-useful scraps of wood?
Or do you build it to last using good solid pieces?
And how long do you think it will be before you have a new project that requires a piece you did have, but now it’s inextricably part of the bin, so you have to buy new wood?
It gets made from the smallest pieces first. The top and sides are made from many more pieces than you would use if you were making this from newly bought material. As far as the solidity of the pieces, when I say “scrap” I don’t mean shitty half-rotted wood. I mean perfectly useful that’s left over after a larger project. This isn’t 3D printing; we’re doing substractive, not additive manufacturing here.
And if there’s a piece I simply must have? That would be extremely unlikely, as the whole bin is made from plywood and cheap construction lumber. If I simply need the material, I can just go buy more 2x4s.
So what I’m seeing here is I don’t have enough scrap wood yet…
I made a vertical one out of scrap wood from an old sandbox we tore up and I put it on castors too. So convenient!
scrapception!
Just so you know the scrap piece you need will always be at the bottom
That’s why you need separate tiers, so none of the piles are too unwieldy. I mean, what good is a scrap pile if you can’t go digging through it when the need arises.
What we have here, is a scrapwood scrapwood bin.
