Woodshop Scrap Pile is getting cleaned out

[Beth Sallay]

Get what you need out of it now, not too much will survive the weekend. You know that show Hoarders? That's what I'm going to do to it. If it's in one of those boxes it's gone, I'll save stuff I see as I go that looks good sized and usable but if it's in a box for bottom of a barrel it's not being used. We are working towards better storage and organization and holding onto stuff that isn't being used  or even seen is not part of that goal. It will build up again soon enough but we will have to work on being a bit more strict about what gets saved in the future. 

I've started a pile in front of the band saw. I meant to go back sunday but didn't make it. I started saturday but didn't realize I'd need a respirator. Big mistake. I plan on heading over tuesday to work more. If you want something from scrap go now. I'm saving the larger pieces as they are still good. The smaller ones though are probably not going to make the cut. If I get there and you start picking tiny pieces up telling me that your momma gave it to you before she joined the witness protection program and it has to stay there I'm not bringing any mental health experts to walk you through the process.

Everything I saved is in the grey garbage can and in a small box next to it (you can't see), that's all nice hardwood. I figured stuff would get in the way of storage shelving and scrap gets built up pretty quickly anyway. There's still more to do.
