Nicely done. A handy piece of upcycling.

Nicely done. A handy piece of upcycling.

I hate to see anything that i can use go to tip, i have a 35L box of offcuts of all shapes and sizes in the workshop, just in case, sometimes i have to give in and concede that a particular offcut probably really is fire wood and not that much use

Your awfully good at this practical stuff ....and I know I have left over battens in the shed

Keeps me occupied and out of mischief, my recovery has slowed a little and i was starting to go stir crazy, so trying to find things to make to keep the grey cells working and the muscles moving, Cherry spoonage this afternoon hopefully.

Nice work! Like you, I hate to throw away small offcuts, and I derive great pleasure in finding a use for them.

This is why I feel at home on BCUK. Here it isn't strange that I have an old laundry bin full of random wooden offcuts, and a 25l tub of metal bits, and a couple of jars of brass bits n bobs, and about 50kg of cherry logs sat in the garden, and 20odd tins of paints & varnishes, and .......

Yep, nowt odd about hanging onto, "that looks useful", stuff here.

Yep! Both my sons have inherited this trait in the male line. Every once in a while something squirrelled away by my father or grandfather turns out to be just what is needed for some project. This often bears no connection to its original purpose.

Good. Fill it with a couple of day's needs for root vegetables and blast them clean in the box.
I use the wreckage from a couple of 36 lb wooden grape boxes.

Its a very nice box, beautiful in its simplicity

Saving odd bits, bolts, metal ‘scrap’ has saved me many trips to shops, lots of petrol and lots of money!

The only things I do not save is standard, non S/s nuts and bolts.
I find those rust as the protective surface treatment has been damaged to much when undoing.
I hate rust!

WD40 is your friend

Nice work; too good to get dirty

Yep, I've got a garage, workshop and barn full of stuff 'just in case'. It drive the missus batty but she never complains when I have just the 'right thing' to fix something.

Why is it I can guarantee that if I get rid of something I'll need it within two week!
