Wood storage area and free wood

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fa4921a0728>

Last chance to remove your wood from the storage area.

The usage of this area is being abused.

Members who are using this area to store wood whilst waiting for inspiration to get started are not welcome here.

Have an idea. Design it, make it and take it home along with what ever left overs you have.

Rules for storage.

  1. Put a label on it with discourse name mobile number, start date and end date.

  2. Maximum distance between start date and end date to be 1 month maximum. If you need an extension get permission from a @woodtechs. (If you haven’t worked on it between the start date and end date you will be refused.)

  3. Any projects stored that have passed the end date you will be contacted by text only ( make sure you leave your mobile) and then be placed in the scrap pile.

4 if there is not room for your project speak to a @woodtechs do not put anything that will obstruct the Cnc extract, the morticer or the lathe. Anything placed in these areas or dangerously will be removed and placed in the scrap pile.

Any timber that is on this post Large sheet storage woodwork expired projects
Will be moved to the scrap bin in October.

All other out of date projects have a 1 months amnesty. You have until October 31 to finish your project or remove the wood.

The wood storage area is for projects that are actively being worked on.
Being selfish and using Makerspace as your own personal storage area is not community minded

This above post has now been changed, after a discussion with @woodtechs, items that are breaching the storage rule will be placed directly to the scrap wood area to be used by anyone on a first come first served basis.

A post will be put on when this happens.

On behalf of woodturners Id like to thank you for the action.

Projects out of storage date destined for the scrap bin

Apologies for the long post but all of these projects are either well past their storage end date, have no date or no label at all .

Some are going straight to the scrap bin by the end of next week.
Warning to all woodworkers, @woodtechs do not have time to do posts like this and this will be the last one.
Unless marked otherwise below none of these projects can have an extension past the 31/10

Also storage is strictly for one project at a time.

So one by one

Thanks @woodtechs!

Reminder @woodworkers it is your responsibility to properly tag and collect your projects or they will be repurposed and no one has time to post like this, so please make sure your storage requests are kept up to date! Thanks!!

I’ll hold my hand up and cop to the stretchers (plus one bit between CNC & clamps) which were labelled originally: either the label has fallen off or I’ve not replaced it after taking the parts out to work on. Thank you for your efforts clearing up and I’ll make sure I get my crap out the way.

I apologise for taking 5 months with my bathroom cabinet. Drawers alignment with low quality plywood (and even lower quality skills of mine) has proven to be horrendous process and me committing only 1-2 hours every week certainly didn’t help with the timelines.

Now I just have to work with filler and paint it - hopefully it will be a much more straightforward and swift process

Thanks for doing this @lewisss I will ensure my wood is sorted this weekend, are I believe the walnut is mine, the tag must have Fallen off

Oh just the small square piece of oak is available. I’ll be in soon to decide what to do with cherry.

I’ll be in today, Sunday to collect mine. Thanks Mark.

Thanks @lewisss
I’ve updated the dates on my piece now as I can now resume working on it.

I imagine this is a long shot, but if anyone has any spare scaffold boards… I’m hoping to find a length of approx 120cm that I can clean up and use.

Many thanks

There’s a full length discarded one I’ve walked past every day for the last two months on the way to work? It’s been out in the elements but if that doesn’t put you off, the map coordinates are (51.498042,-0.060933)!
