Scrap Bin from a Single Sheet of Plywood

- I made this plan to help organize my shop in a cost-effective way. This design requires one sheet of 3/4" ply, a circular saw, and a drill. A Kreg Accu-Cut and Kreg Jig are not required, but they do add some nice accuracy and speed.
For any questions that may not have been answered in the video, see my full step by step plans and detailed cut/drill diagram on Build Something. The link can be found below...

Hi Mike, inspired by your video I have used my new Kreg k4 Jig for the first time and have made myself a scrap bin from a 8ft * 4ft sheet of 3/4 Chipboard. I have fitted it with heavy duty castors so i can store sheet behind it....cheers Paul
Liked the way you used the Kreg jig.
Loved the video, it helped with cutting the sides. Added some wood to the bottom for wheels.
I have just one large box for my scraps. This is something I need to make!!Great stuff
Great video. Very informative and detailed. thanks for putting dimensions in the video
+Crossway Woodworks thank you! Hope it helps! 👍🏼
Factory edges should be checked before relying on them to be straight. I think all of us at one time found that out the hard way, and now with lumber cost so high, you don't want to screw up. A couple of tips: I use a carpenter's square before layout and cutting to check all 4 sides. I also keep a 6" square handy while cutting. It takes 2 seconds to make sure the edge you just cut is straight & true before making the next cut.
nice work. hope you had a great 4th!
+rich hubert thanks. You too rich!
I love it! Great tutorial! Thank you!!
dude been almost 2 weeks? you alive? you must be getting really comfortable in that new shop space.....
It´s cool project thanks for your video ..it´s great ... best regards ,,,,
Great Video! Thanks!
I noticed the setup you have for the Kreg jig with what looks like a mount and side supports. Any plans or a video for that setup? It's pretty ingenious.
+Chuck Costello for sure brotha! I got the link right here: ruclips.net/video/d2ig_RRN97k/видео.html
That’s a DIY K5.
@@MadRavenWoodworks I have a Kreg K4. I used some scrap 3/4" plywood strips on both sides. It left about a 1/8" gap. I then put a piece of pergo foam I had lying around under the scrap and it raised it up to the correct height. Not having long boards tip off the jig while drilling them is really important. Make a jig. Remember if you raise it too high you might want to adjust your stop collar to drill a little deeper to compensate for the difference between your jig and your K4!
how far apart do you place each pocket hole location
Great Build. I have read your review on the Accu-Cut unfortunately this isn't available yet here in England, well i haven't seen it anyway. I use a door board (as Nick Ferry calls it) for those types of cuts or a straight edge, depending what i'm cutting. Were you using Kreg Screws? are they square heads? as i noticed you not slipping off the head of the screw like i sometimes do, and i drives me mad.

+Barry Roberts yeah the accu-cut just came out like 3 days ago here. I was using kreg brand screws. I had the same problem on my old bit. Bought a new one finally and it is much easier to stay on the head. How much use has your bit seen?
Not as much use as you have on yours, but it's given me the idea to buy a new bit and try it out. I'm not that fussed on square heads, much prefer the Torx and Pozi head on screws. Thanks for the reply and idea, keep up the good work.
Barry.
The Accu-Cut is advertised to not require clamping on plywood, right? I think I saw that you had the clamps on it, but have you tried to use without?
The blue plastic piece at the front of the Accu-Cut has a 90 degree lip underneath where it slides into the aluminum. Slide it up to where you start your cut then just line the blue plastic strip next to your line for cutting. The weight of the saw keeps the Accu-Cut in place, just watch out for the cord, it trys to drag straight behind the saw so you'll have to move it some. The Accu-Cut has 4 set screws in the middle. Last time I used it one screw fell out and another loosened so keep the allen wrench handy!
Would have liked to see the action side of the Kreg Jig. Give us another camera angle next time!
Hahaha
Thank you for making a scrap bin with butt joints and pocket screws! I’m sick of seeing people over build these things with dadoes and routers. It’s totally overkill
Excuse me! lol, that would be me. I intensionally make my shop furniture using dados, mortice and tenons, and dovetails. I disagree with not using them to build something "just for the shop". 1- I don't want to be making new cabinets and workbenches when a butt joint fails( I inherited my great-great grandfather's cabinet making workbench and still use it when making gifts for the family) & 2- what better time to learn new joinery and practice building your skills than on your own projects? I would much rather screw up a piece of wood I paid for than screwing up a customer's $2000 sideboard made from black walnut. I try to learn a new joinery method every week or two.
@@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 good point! Sometimes I’m in “get r done” mode on shop projects but they could make good practice objects!!
Nice job brah but doesn’t look like it’ll hold a lot of materials
How do you like the Accu-Cut? I am really tempted to get one. I have a rip-cut currently, but that would solve a lot of my issues...!
+Matthew Wolfe this was my first time using the accu-cut. I prefer it over the rip-cut because of its versatility on angled and wide pieces. Prior to this, i used a 4' edge guide from harbor freight. That did the job for years, but was prone to moving around on me. The saw glides really smoothly on the accu-cut and it's really easy to start the cut perfectly square. Overall, i'd recommend it. The guide met my fairly high expectations.
