WE all have too many scraps of wood and cutoffs that seem to get saved for those future needs. Obviously they do come in handy…I built my new router table cabinet recently out of those “cutoffs and scraps” I refused to throw away.
Well, when we don’t throw them away we either have a lot of clutter or a storage and organizing solution.
Here is the simple cutoff bin I built this weekend 72”x 24” x 24”. It took one sheet of 3/4 ply, two hours of work and those 6” Harbor Freight wheels I bought over a year ago just because I might use them one day.
It rolls so easy and goes in a unused corner of my shop.

degoose,
Well, it really wasn’t unused..it was just a big pile of cutoffs and pieces piled on the floor under the lumber storage rack. I finally had to organize it after getting getting a good deal on about 400 bd ft of oak…which caused me to completely re-organize all my lumber storage.
mtkate,
I keep the little cutoffs also…they just can’t be seen in the photo

Argh this reminds me of that corner of my garage with all the wood scraps that I need to work on. Yet another shop project for me!
And I second what mtkate said…I need a small cutoff solution too. lol
