Hi oakisgood - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

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

Hi oakisgood,

Welcome!

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

Are you working on anything currently?

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.
