Storing sheet goods isn't all that bad. A PITA but not too bad. I
generally buy enough for a project (2-20 sheets) and lay them flat on
the floor on 2x4s.

However, I am inevitably left with some nice, less than full sheet
pieces of various sizes. No immediate use for them but I *know*
they'll be handy someday. Until "someday" comes, they are leaning
against various walls. I try to organize them by size but it is a
mess so my question is...

How do you folks store all those cutoffs from sheet goods?

I don't have any great tips to add, but this seemed a good place to
share your frustration about scrap storage. At an avg cost of $1.08/
sq ft, those cut-offs are too pricey to throw out [initially] but
there are only so many fillers, blocks, jigs, test cuts, and push
sticks I can use. So, when the need for space in my tiny shop exceeds
my thriftiness, those pieces become pricey land fill.

The problem extends to hardware, too. I'll have ten screws or a pound
of nails or something left over from a job, and they go into a
container. Then the containers stack piling up...dozens of different
cans, boxes, bins and jars filled with a few odds and ends. Too nice
to throw out, too few to be of use.

Keep posting, guys/gals...there are some packrats reading these boards
hoping to detect a glimmer of light at the end of a REALLY cluttered
tunnel :0)
