Scraptacular Bin
Feb 17, 2010
I’ve been thinking of building a cutoff bin for a long time and finally I came up with a version that offers more flexibility from what I saw up to now. Since my scrap pile is in constant evolution, I wanted to have a bin that would help organize the cutoffs effectively yet being big enough to hold as much wood as possible in a small space.
As shown on the attached photos, my bin has a fixed center divider and 6 optionnal dividers that I can add or remove in the blink of an eye (thanks to the 12 stopped dadoes).
The bin is made out of a one full sheet of 3/4″ plywood and the 4″ wide dividers are made from scrap wood. The added handle at each end are from 2X3 scraps.
For more details and a cutting diagram, visit the Workshop Gallery on my website.
Best,

Very nice! I love organized scraps.
Mmmmm...I could definitely use one of these! The divider idea is great!
Great engineering. Finally a scrap bin that's better than a 5 gallon bucket. It's cheap, adaptable, and easy to build. You should submit it to Fine Woodworking "Methods of Work."
I tried to find the plans and cutting sheet for your cut-off bin but when I followed the link it was not there. Can you give me a redirection to the plan and cutting sheet?
Thanks
