I have too much scrap wood. I needed a scrap wood bin. So I made a scrap wood bin out of scrap wood to hold my scrap wood.

Scrappiest of scrap wood projects.

The proportions are odd, but it’s designed to fit under the landing of the stairs going into the garage. Makes a good use of an otherwise awkward space. Like everything else in the shop, it’s on casters to allow for easy movement and cleaning around.

Most of this wood was from the big lifting tower I used to get the dust collector motor into place.

#USA gov't map of #Africa mislabels every country at global conference ‼️

The map contained an #AI watermark indicating it was made w/ OpenAI tools. 👀

It had:
• Nigeria (where #US currently has several hundred troops deployed) as landlocked in the Sahara Desert
• Mozambique, which is in southeastern Africa, relocated to the Horn of Africa
• Ivory ​Coast in West Africa was placed on the other side of the continent

The State Dept blamed a staffer.
