wood scraps storage made from repurposed wood

Project by chamoruboy posted 582 days ago 615 views 3 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I was doing my normal Sunday cleaning of the shop when I realized that my shop was growing smaller. Actually, I had done some wood shopping in preparation for the upcoming season of vending. A customer of mine had given me some wood from a bed trundle (something I use very often) rather than toss it in the land fill. I knew I wanted to make some storage from the “bed trundle” wood for the cutoffs that I get for making my products, but I had no idea what I was going to make. I initially thought that I’d make some shelves but then I figured that would take too much effort because I would have to make it really strong to bear the weight of the wood (I like to use more woods that are very dense).

30 minutes later this is what I came up with.

OK you got my attention. THAT is exactly what I need. I have a pile in the corner that could use this kind of organization.

Chamoruboy,

This is a nice re-use of material. You created a much needed wood storage area that is neat, well organized and enables you to readily access your wood.

Nice job.

Like Bradfors said, this beats the heck out of my pile in the corner.

Thanks everyone, the other thing I forgot to mention that made me decide against making shelves it that I already have wall mounted racks at the other end of the shop and boy do I dread having to get a piece that I need that is at the bottom of the pile.

PSC! Uh, that’s pretty stinkin’ clever. Looks like a tip that a lot of us can use.
