'Long' Off Cut Storage?

Stigura

Sorry, guys. I'm sure this is a real chestnut, for here. I tried searching ~ But, we all know how 'useful' that's become 😬

What genius ideas have the Masters come up with then, please? 😁 I don't mean sheets. Just 2x2, down to dowels and mouldings. Bits, basically. Stuff ye never need, till ye burn 18" of it, then have to buy a new whole length! I had an old, lidless, bird nest box. That was alright. Soon filled up though.

Tried an old trug bucket? Way too big! Wood all fell over and out!

Figured I was crafty; Tied it all together with cable ties. Yeah. I like wasting plastic 🙄. Right now? It's Laying on the floor, in there. Driving me mad.

Has anyone invented anything ~ had their idea promptly stolen by the Chinese and which I can now pick up on Amazon ~ please? Kitchen flip top? Or, is it destined to become Fuel?! 😂

Some kind of container with a wire or wooden mesh placed horizontally across it? Like a variation of the utensil basket I have in my dishwasher to stop all my cutlery from nesting!

Nice! We used to use Tea Chests. Remember those? Ubiquitous, when ye always saw jars, screwed under shelves. Along with baccy tins 😉 Mesh would keep stuff sweet though, wouldn't it?

Trying desperately to remember what the great Mr Jeffries used, at school. Based on his life time of professional involvement with wood. Probably a bloody tea chest, like everyone else! 😄

I'd like to keep an eye on this track, if you don't mind.

Welcome, my friend! Any idea where to get a Tea Chest? 😁

I actually Have some lovely, square flats of 2" mesh here. Proper, square holed, hard stuff. Not Chicken Wire. Seems it'd be great ~ if only I could find something suitable for the 'Bin' part.

All is not lost though. I'm genuinely up to my neck in stuff, as we speak. My work room's sort of been nudged into Hold, for now. Looks it too! Bloody sack of off cuts, spewing from a corner 😬

Just off to trim down a big door now, though. And That's made of what could also turn out to be some handy off cut material! Sadly, it'll have to be a few jobs from here though. Much to get done! 🤹

Depend on the lengths but I use different sizes of waste pipe screwed to the ceiling joists in the shed.

You just need room to push them in/ pull them out

Same idea for garden tools such as rakes, shovels brushes etc
