- It's confession time! Here's why I'm ALWAYS putting myself at RISK of an accident in my small woodworking shop... AND that finally time to face my fears and sort things out. This job was very painful to do!

This is too funny. I’m the same way. Getting rid of scraps is like getting rid of a friend. I have many stacks. 😀. Great video Vikkie.
You are correct, dale. Any backyard/weekend woodworker worth their salt, has way too many small scraps lying around. If you don't have a slew of scraps lying around, then you are some kind of multi-millionaire person and you probably have your butler clean the shop at the end of the day while you go to the fancy-pants hardwood store to spend hundreds/thousands stocking up on exotic African hardwoods to use on your next project.
Friend is probably good description... I felt almost sentimental about them like the little boy studying each slice of bread in the Warburton's advert before he chucks it to the ducks on the canal (or lake?).
YES! 😂 There's a saying down my Dad's woodyard that there's no such thing as scrap wood... everything is useful!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I can agree with that. That means I get to keep all my scraps. 😂. Hey Vikkie, maybe you can do what RUclipsr “Pask Makes” does. Have a scrap wood challenge. This way you can take the bags of scraps back into your shop. 😁 yay.
@@dalejones4186 It's scrap, it's crap . . .
Throwing away scraps of wood......I feel your pain 😢
Hurts, doesn't it? I ended up having to get rid of a lot more the following week, but the larger bits went to a family member who will use them. It softens the blow a bit!
Great video! This is something we all have to deal with. Thankfully I'm in a cold climate and when winter comes around, most end up in the wood stove to heat up the place. I have enough stuff cluttering my mind, I don't need more stuff for me to trip on. Thanks for posting.
I have a shed full. It's actually other people who nick my offcuts to make little projects. I get beer back in return 🤣
That sounds a sweet deal 😆
I hate getting rid of of tv parts, just in case I need them, about the same as you with wood, because you know what will happen when you throw it away, you will need it and you will spend ages looking for it then realising the fact you’ve thrown it away, get a garden wood burner and use it on a nice summer evening keep up the good work Vikkie
Ooh... I like the idea of a garden wood burner! Something to consider :) And can completely understand with TV parts! I wouldn't mind getting into some electronics and can imagine all the small parts being useful.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I'd be thrilled to see you also get into electronics. My journey is the other way around, lifelong electronic / electrical tinkering and repair while embarking on woodworking much more recently. Despite having made hardly anything yet I've already hoarded at least as much scrap as you; it all has conceivable uses! If anything it's easier to judge what electronic components and hardware is worth keeping or salvaging. Mostly I can't abide waste so one coping strategy is simply giving stuff away to someone who can use it.
It is hard to toss stuff since you always find a use for it the day after you do. If I was being honest, I've got bits and bobs from ten years ago that I've never looked at, let alone touch.
It's hard to cull them but when I do, I'm always happy with the extra space and cleaner look.
It was very refreshing to get the space back... as much as I didn't want to do it 😂
Vikki's nice blog enjoyed watching it's good to have a clear out maybe hard to throw away the things that you might use also I do the same popsi 🇬🇧💕
It was MUCH easier to walk around after I did that... although admittedly, more had to go after filming. But, I know deep down inside, I'll have a lot of offcuts in my future, so that's ok!
Certainly with the cost of timber sky rocketing lately , I feel your pain . I'd loathe chucking bits out just to find that's exactly what you might need in a few weeks time !
Exactly! Throwing money away!
Aye, i can relate to stuff i dont want to waste! My 'workshop is now unusuable because of it. Nice video!
It's a workshop catch 22! 😁
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Aye, time for a clearout and actually rebuild the workbench
Ooft. I feel your pain.
Bye bye wood 👋😢😄
Brilliant!
Thanks, Andy 🙂
I have recently done this, I filled 8 bags of bits 🤣 sent them all up to the wife's Nan to help out with winter on her fire :)
Sometimes it just gets to a Point where you either build another shed for offcuts or do exactly this 🤣 I appreciate them on a fire these days lol
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK we are going to build an 8'x4' extension to our 8'x12' workshop just to store the dust extract, overflow of tools and extra wood store 😂😂
Always a dilemma but I find if I can see them, I can use them. Build a couple of partitions under there and store the wood end on and you'll soon start using them for all sorts of small projects - I've made a few little automaton toys with tiny scraps and a band saw.
The idea of partitions always overwhelmed me as they're all such random sizes. Perhaps great for the slightly larger lengths?
And love the idea of creating toys with moving parts, as really loved creating the mechanism for the dog food dispenser! Another reason I didn't want to part with any.
You need a bigger workshop Vikki. Then you won't have to throw anything!😜. Or install a wood burner in the house or in the shed for winter. That's where my scraps go. Great alternative video by the way.
All of those are PERFECT ideas... you might like some upcoming videos wink wink nudge nudge 🤫😆
You forgot paint stirers. I have a rule to only keep proper wood scraps. No MDF, no chipboard, no plastic faced ply (shower panels), but big bits of good quality ply are keepable. Scraps I don't want, including proper wood scraps, go in a box for my neighbour's wood stove. I was gifted 3 "oak" bookcases a few years ago. Actually slow growth pine with oak sides and facing. My daughter uses one as a bookcase; one got broken down for a project; and the third is currently storing medium size scraps!
Very good point about the stirrers! And that's very disciplined! I like it! Sounds far less chaotic.
Oh mate.i know exactly how you feel. I have my concervatory, my 3 sheds and my greenhouse full of timber that I know deep down I'll never use.infact.i have some long lengths of hardwoods your welcome to if you wanna send a van around.i have oak.cherry.maple.sapele.ash and walnut. They are 2000mm x 40mm x 20 mm.i usually use them for chopping boards and stuff.but I got so much I don't know what to do with them.yours if you want them vikkie. 🖒😊
Thanks ☺️ That sounds a good selection of wood! Do you not grow veg in the greenhouse then? 😁
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK haha.bless ya.all I can grow is weeds vikkie. But the offer is there if you want that timber
Totally the same way!
Hopefully I won't look back too much and think "if only I had those offcuts" 😂
My ever growing collection of off cuts cluttering up the garden and sheds is probably the leading contender for what could cause my divorce 😂
😆😆😆 But it could be saving your household money? 🤣
It's all useful, I've got piles of offcuts. Maybe we just don't use so many wee bits . You will need a wood store
Yes, would love a wood store!
Yes indeed ,,we allll have that little corner of the shop full of off cuts and such. You could ask other woodworkers or crafter's if they could use then for smaller projects. If you like to make small boxes and such, many of those pieces will come in handy. And as soon as you toss out that nice smallish piece of wlanut or mahogany or English oak,, you are going to have to go out and buy another board. Been there,,, bought that .....
That's exactly it.. the fear of needing it AFTER you've parted with it. A few times I've been glad I didn't get rid of something in the end because I've needed it later 😅
But yeah... some I've had for years 😅
You need a wood burner in your workshop Vikkie, like Matt Badger Work Shop did in old work shop, well at least the wood be used for something LOL !!!>
At least we have one on the narrowboat... it's just been a bit too hot to burn them 😅
But I wouldn't mind a workshop wood burner in the future :)
Glad there was a big red arrow on the thumb nail. Wouldn't have seen you otherwise
Thanks for the feedback... I've changed the font now to stand out... or I might start messing about with the background 😂
Too funny and totally relate w this. for years I was the same way! I would save EVERYTHING and justify why until I couldn't save anymore cuz I ran out of space!! I've learned to just throw it away and be done with
it. Unless its an exotic specicies then ill save it
Hopefully one day I can be this disciplined. Perhaps it comes with experience?
🤣🤣 that thumbnail....you ham 😋❤️
Lol... always have to Google the word ham 😆
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 😂🤣
Can anyone guess what happened to sacks? 😂
Prob took them to her dad's work shop 😋😋😋
I think you made use of it at a barbecue on saturday night 😉
You brought them back in because you suddenly thought of a great project.
Some DID go back in 😂😂 (but not for long)
Actually... you're right... it all went to the woodyard... apart from a couple of pieces that I took back out. I was hoping my dad would look after them, but he said "why are you keeping hold of daft stuff?" 😂 A member of staff thought it was all firewood and chucked most on the fire without thinking😲 But if it were winter, I'd be taking some to the narrowboat for the fire.
offcuts are great until they get in the way. mine end up eventually as kindling for the fire
That's very true. I do burn the smaller pieces eventually, but it still takes a lot for me to get to that stage and pattern with them 😂
Haha, even worse when your work ranges from making whole real size museum street scenes to 1:100 scale miniatures and dioramas. Even interesting looking matchstick size offcuts can get used, and need to be stored! 🤣
Then multiply it when you work in wood, metal, cardboard, plastics, and fabrics at all the scales. 😬
I've ALWAYS thought that since watching Makeit Soph's storage and when she organised everything. In those cases, you TRULY never know what could be transformed into something. My place would be a COMPLETE MESS! 😅
💖
❤️
I’m the same, I keep way too many off cuts.
Shall we form a offcuts-aholic anonymous? 😄
I hate to throw things away as will Vikkie but my wife said if it has not moved in a year you do not need it. So now i make sure to rotate all the junk twice a year and tell her i was looking for something important . Naaaah.
hahaha.... but also a good reminder about what you have 😂
😱😱😱
They had to go... 😢
You need a bigger shed 😁
That's the plan 😆
burn them if not going to use them... a night around a fire pit is great..
Some (but not many) do eventually go on the narrowboat's fire 😆 But it's sad when it only takes minutes to burn and they're gone.
👍👍👍
