Definition of scrap

[Steve D]

I'll post when I get the walnut pile and now it looks like there will be some Hickory on the floor too....:lol:

IMHO, the only things that qualify as scrap are those end-products of woodworking that have no more usable life -- very little of my end-product (woodworking that is), are wasted: power and hand tool sawdust, plane chips, lathe chips and drilling chips all get bagged and are used for soil amendment or mulch (if coarse); offcuts from the table or miter saw get stacked and sorted for jig blocks or push sticks or smaller work pieces. I do admit, however, that the short end cut off a 2x4 that I've just squared up ain't worth much, but it would end up in the mulch bag. If I just had a nice little pot bellied stove, there would be no waste at all... 'cept maybe MDF gravy....:roll:

I'll definitely verify SteveD's scrap pile is worth raiding, as is WG's! Anytime you guys want me to come by just let me know! The definition of scrap has caused quite a bit of angst in our home (me being a packrat and all), both wood-related and not. DH builds things - benches, drawers, doors..., I use a scroll saw and lathe. I have to go through his scrap pile fairly often. I've even rescued a number of future pens from there. Heck, we even use our sawdust in the garden or give it to a friend who uses it in their barn! So IMHO, there is no such thing as scrap (wood, that is).

Oh, I use the sawdust - mulch central...

After 200 sanding blocks, I just have to draw the line.:lol:

SteveD and others who actually have a wood scrap pile - please don't change your practice. Just call us for pick-up arrangements:lol: !
