Larson Scrap Wood Organizer Once you decide on the configuration of the tubes, you can then size and build a simple frame to contain them. The frame I built is made to sit securely on the floor in my shop. Finally, I sort the scraps by size and species of wood so I can quickly find just the piece I need. Now my shop is organized, clean, and free from clutter. Leslie Harrison Bremerton, Washington SCRAP WOOD 12" CONCRETE FORMING TUBE SIDE BRACE NOTE: SIZE 2x4 FRAME TO FIT CONCRETE FORMING TUBES •v Storing pieces of scrap wood in my wtf shop is always a challenge. It takes a lot of time (not to mention space) to sort through the piles tucked here and there thoughout my shop. So I built the simple and inexpensive scrap wood organizer you see in the drawing below. The organizer is made by stacking concrete forming tubes together. They come in a variety of sizes so you can adapt the compartments to fit your needs. e>" CONCRETE FORMING TUBE #» x 2'/2" Fh WOODSCREW Submit Your Tips CREATIVE DIRECTOR Ted Kralice< SENIOR PROJECT DESIGNERS Ken Munkei, Kent Welsh, Chris Fitch PROJECT DESIGNERS/BUILDERS Mike Donovan, John Doyle SHOP CRAFTSMEN Steve Curtis, Steve Johnson SR, PHOTOGRAPHERS Crayola England, Dennis Kennedy ASSOCIATE STYLE DIRECTOR Rebecca Cunningham ELECTRONIC IMAGE SPECIALIST A'lan Ruhnke VIDEOGRAPHERS Craig Ruegsegger, Mark Hayes ShopNoUs® (ISSN 10(2-3696) is published bintrthiy (Jan., March.
