My scrap lumber pile hit 400 board feet and I finally measured why my garage felt so small
I've been tossing every offcut from my deck and shelf builds into a corner by the garage door since 2021, figuring it would all get used eventually. Measured the pile on Saturday out of boredom and came up with 400 board feet, which is way more than the oak I actually bought for my last project. The scary part is I couldn't even walk to the miter saw without stepping over something, and half of it is 12 inch scraps I'll never touch again. So now I'm trying to figure out a sane rule for what's worth keeping and what goes to the burn bin. I'm leaning toward anything under 18 inches goes unless it's a good hardwood, but I keep second guessing it. What cutoff do you all use for scrap, or is there a better system than just eyeballing it?
