And where is the tie-bar? Maybe cropped off of the image or did it fall off of the picture when they turned it around? ;)

Sheesh! So much for 'seeing' the 'obvious'!:o That's what happens when you ignore the pictures, and read the 'heart'.

Throwing away 'scrap'

Post by mickyd »

I've developed a serious pack rat mentality with scrap pieces of wood from my projects. Having a real hard time throwing anything away. What doesn't help is when I find a small piece that is perfect for some other little project. I recall my grandfather having a tall tan fiber barrel where he would put all his scrap pieces. (I viewed it as toy heaven as a kid). I decided that I am going to start one too. It's kind of like that miscellaneous nut, bolt, screw container almost everyone has. You just never know when you need something in it.

Anyone else have problems throwing 'scrap' pieces away? Is there really such a thing as 'scrap' wood? :eek:

Your problem is compounded by living where you do. One of the best friends a pack-rat woodworker can have is a little cold weather and a wood stove. :D
When it is 10 below zero some of those saved pieces do not look nearly as useful. :)

Throw away??????????????:confused:

Is there really such a thing as 'scrap' wood? NO! :eek:



That being said, Farmer is fortunate that it gets cold enough in Central IN that he needs to convert the 'scrap' to HEAT!

One problem inherent in woodworking in most of its varied forms is that while almost no scrap is truly too small to be of use for something, somewhere, sometime, the cruel fact is that WE MAKE ABOUT TEN TIMES AS MANY AS WE CAN USE. Find a really big barrel Mike.... and good luck on sorting through to find that 5 1/2" piece of teak.

No problem for me. I collect about 3 or 4 cans per week. I have started running it for free pick up on CL.

No problem for me. I collect about 3 or 4 cans per week. I used to save a lot and move it about 10 or 12 times before throwing it away. Now I run it for free pick up on CL.
