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.
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…
It’s the hoarders problem, but made even worse in a specific context. A hoarder might hoard an old broken lawn mower “in case they need it for parts,” but if you’re into a craft, you have an obvious and undeniable future use for the material.
Thankfully with woodworking, I have the option of just giving away the scrap as firewood. Can’t do that with plywood or any other synthetic material. But solid wood offcuts? They all burn just fine. If we had a wood-burning fireplace, I would burn them myself.
That is a problem with metals, they don’t burn real well.
I have a 3"x3"x12" phosphor bronze bar in my shop. I have used about an 1" of it in maybe 15 years. I should get rid of it because I seldom have a real need for a metal like that. But I had one project years ago and this was stupid cheap and overkill for the part I made from it. Now it’s worth too much to toss, probably around $500 to $600 as is.
