I have a hard time throwing out wood also, I started out with one cardboard box then a plastic tote then two plastic totes, but it's worth saving. The other day I was making 3 boxes that all used the same size pieces and I went to my lumber pile and pulled out a full board but before I cut it, I thought I would check my scrap bin, and I couldn't believe it, I found enough of the size I needed to make all three boxes. Hey another great place where I get cut offs is a place where they make flooring, They are also a sawmill so I buy my lumber there, and when I go there they tell me go ahead and pick through our scrap pile if you want, and I always do.
