What does everyone do with plywood scraps? Is there any use for these? I’m talking about pieces that are too small for any project use, or even for test cuts. I use solid wood scraps for kindling, but I don’t think burning plywood is a good idea because of the glue and other chemicals involved. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. Jim |

Push sticks, depth measurements, trial cuts to insure that measurement is correct. -- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com † |

I use them for clamping blocks, Temp supports for cabinets at the corners to keep cabinet elevated 1/2” or so, shims. I keep a trash can that I put all my scrap plywood in and when it gets full I throw some of them out. -- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines! Mike D. |

Hey—- when all else fails, and you run out of things to build with the scraps, you can always go outside and build a fire and burn them that way. Makes a good bon fire. Even roast a wenner!!! -- Remember--- one good turn-- gets most of the blanket!!!! |

I do the same as Gary and Rick, my uncle will burn almost anything in his wood stove (who am I to judge lol) and a night at the beach with a few friends and a few more beverages is always a good time, I am always getting asked “you have any scraps to bring up to burn?” maybe thats the only reason I’m invited to the beach for a fire anymore lol. -- A hammer dangling from a wall will bang and sound like work when the wind blows the right way. |
