Scraps

[Sberry]

Buckets are a good idea, maybe make up a rack for about 2 or 3 wide that the buckets slid into laying on the side. Like a barrel rack with the buckets about 30 degrees up.

Hello John We do get around don't we.

I currently am using 5 gal buckets and I don't even weld yet. LOL I just fab everything up and prep it for welding. I will be learning. Just bought a Rigid chop saw and man that thing is cool. I'm currently building a cab roller for my 57 Ford F100 cab. I'm using 3" x 4" x 3/16" wall tubing for the main members.

for something smaller

here's what I made for my small area....

it's about 30" wide and 24" deep and 4 feet high..

drawers slide out for access... although I found out that if you load them down they are a bear to slide... but it serves my purpose ... all my pieces sorted and in one place...

For the really small pieces, I use a five gallon bucket. If you have a lot you can use one bucket for each type i.e. angle, flat, round etc.

Hey S;
Are you trying to addition for Orange county choppers with the punching bag next to the big stock rack?

[Sberry]

Have a couple more smaller racks too.

I keep my smaller pieces of scrap to one drawer in one of my toolboxes. This keeps them all in one place, and when I need a small plate or say a right angle piece, I can find it easily.

All larger pieces I try to lean them against the wall out of the way or behind one of my toolboxes.

Hope this helps.

Hey fellas, anyone have pics or suggestions as to storing your
scrap pieces of metal? Seems like I can only put my scraps in a
pile and then I can't find what I need. Thanks for any help.
