I'm going to name it Scrappy.

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.

😉

Yo dawg

Solves two problems; gives you a spot to put scrap, and also gives a use for said scrap.

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?

that is awesome

"...and when I was done, I found I had no more scrap wood to store!"

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!

So what I'm seeing here is I don't have enough scrap wood yet...

That's awesome.

Also, a huge fan of putting casters on pretty much everything.

What we have here, is a scrapwood scrapwood bin.

scrapception!

Just so you know the scrap piece you need will always be at the bottom

At forst glance I thought that was outside. I was like "Uhhhh" hah

With casters on, I'd have probably made it open top instead of side.

If you have a use for it, it's not scrap. But you can scrap wood yourself into deep and dark hole if you are not careful. I have to fight that fight with odds and ends of metals in my shop. That 2" dia piece of round stock ain't never going to get used even as a door stop....

but if you made a scrap wood bin out of scrap wood to hold your scrap wood, then you have no scrap wood for the scrap wood bin to hold?

Yo dawg...

I am especially intrigued by the realisation that the scrap wood involved is not used up. When the box is empty one can just dismantle it.

Minecraft

All is one.

... s-scrap wood!

What was wrong with just laying it on the floor there instead of building a box?

An excellent use of scrape wood

and did the same and then mounted my planer thicknesser ontop of it

Bonus: when you run out of scrap from the box, you can use the box!

That’s some nice scrap wood. My region is so overloaded with Ikea melamine particle board garbage that I only keep two pieces around. On any spontaneous day that I need wood, I can cycle around the neighborhood and find a pile of Ikea discards. Every minute of every day, there is something.

Solid wood would be worth saving but it’s much more scarcely dumped on curbs than Ikea wood.

How much wood can a scrap wood scrap if a scrap wood wood scrap wood

(Jokes aside I think that's cool as hell!! Innovative and a fantastic zero-waste project)

I'm hopeless with wood scraps - I can't throw anything out. We burn wood for heat in winter so I put small pieces in the kindling stack, but the various racks and shelves I've built are overflowing and I have a huge pile on the floor next to my table saw. And it's not even good wood - it was either hardware store building lumber or recycled from something else before it became an offcut and I still can't throw it out.

For a second I thought your scrap wood bin was shoved under a scrap wood baby cradle. I was beginning to question your parenting skills
