In a small shop
Storing wood in a small shop can be quite
challenging. For many woodworkers the shops
are small, especially if you are working
out of a garage and having to share the shop
for some other need. There are ways of
bringing the needed wood in.
Storing lumber in a small shop can be
done in a number of ways. One is cutting
the wood outside if weather is permitt-
ing. Another is having a larger shop cut
for you. This way you can assemble and
build larger pieces. Just make sure that
their blades are sharp when they cut. If
you have a router you can cut your own
dados.
Some larger shops have small wastes from
hardwood lumber, and plywood. Arrangement
can be made to buy these or be given them.
They really don’t know what to do with all
their waste material.
Another suggestion for storing lumber in
a small place is to stack lumber verti-
cally instead of horizontally. In Storing
lumber in a small place as a garage or shed,
if the plywood storage rack is put on
rollers that can be locked, larger wood
such as your regular and birch plywood
can stand behind it and/or some of your
tools. Just make sure that there is venti-
lation between the floor, outside walls and
your lumber or plywood. Lumber will wick
moisture through the wall and up through
the concrete.
As you know storing wood in a small shop
can be quite challenging. I hope that
