Scrappiest of scrap wood projects.
The proportions are odd, but it's designed to fit under the landing of the stairs going into the garage. Makes a good use of an otherwise awkward space. Like everything else in the shop, it's on casters to allow for easy movement and cleaning around.
Most of this wood was from the big lifting tower I used to get the dust collector motor into place.
Seconding this! I also keep an eye out on my local Buy Nothing group, and offer up wood scraps when I see someone looking for something I have. It helps keep folks from buying new and if I need it in the future, chances are someone else will have a replacement for me. (I also get a lot of lumber this way).
I've given away stair treads, particleboard sheets, plywood, and dimensional lumber, sometimes cut or milled to whatever dimensions they need. I even used my scraps and part of a table to build a saddle stand for someone who was looking for a suitable piece of furniture for displaying a saddle once!
