[Woodcarver] Recycling in the shop

[Loren Woodard]

Matt: 

This is a good thread!  I use waste wood from my cutouts to make habitant
such as rocks, etc.  I also use the wood to practice eyes, mouths, noses,
etc.  I get way to much wood to practice on so I donate it to some of the
beginning carvers in our club.  We do mini-seminars almost every meeting and
I show carvers how to practice eyes, noses, mouths, etc on the scrap wood.

Dick Millholm posted the following on the Fishcarver2 list,  and allowed me
to cross-post this very interesting question here:

Would like to hear how others recycle "stuff" in their shop.

I'll start it off with this simple tip.  The slick, heavier paper that you
get in junk mail works very well to use when you mix up 5 minute epoxy and
other material.  I cut the paper into sheets about 2 X 4 inches and save
them in a plastic box.  Stir the epoxy with a toothpick and then throw the
"mess" into a plastic bag that you hand hanging on your bench.  You do have
a waste bag right there don't you? LOL  Please contribute to this thread to
help your fellow carvers.  

Dick
