hello from B.C.

great site. I am a dumpster diver by trade and this site will help.

Hi oakisgood - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

What homemade tools are your favorite? Do you see any ideas here that you might build yourself?

Hi oakisgood,

Welcome! :welcome:

What's the most useful thing you've found in a dumpster? It's amazing what some people toss, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Are you working on anything currently?

Glad you joined us, oakisgood. Welcome to the forums! :welcome:

my best place for dumpster diving is home depot. you wouldn't believe the stuff they throw out. all sorts of motors, steel, shelving etc. I built a seven by seven foot shed out of laminated shelving and pallets. It cost e a total of 70 dollars and most of that was for screws, spikes and paint. True the shelving has particle board sandwiched between forimica but I sealed the joints and covered them with strapping. The motors are going to be for sanders and such. Try it sometime and you'll keep going back lol.:cool:
