What can i do with my offcuts?

[Katomi woodsmith]

Off cuts, i scourge (I was going to use the word source) but scrounge is better
I recycle wood but I will not touch wood chip, ( flooring) or MDF and since leaving the hard way, painted pallets .

Well... I did a Google search for what to do with *MDF* offcuts... this seemed an interesting link but, although it states MDF off cuts in the title, most seem to be from timber/wood offcuts. Go figure?

MDF burns very nicely in a wood stove. Rumours of toxic smoke probably unfounded as long as it burns hot. Formaldehyde just turns to CO2 and water.

off at a tangent:
A coal fired power station releases more radioactivity in one month into the environment, than all of the UK's Nuclear power stations have done in their entire existence.

like Jacob says, folks like scare stories and anything they don't understand is scary.

Says who & what research is used to prove it ??..."A coal fired power station releases more radioactivity in one month into the environment, than all of the UK's Nuclear power stations have done in their entire existence".

Without commenting on the accuracy of some of the links, would seem to be some reasonable viewpoints expressed in some of these links. As ever, we believe the stuff we want to and dismiss the rest as rubbish. Sure the balance will probably be somewhere in the middle

BTW...I do not use the term 'offcuts' I call my many/many/many pieces 'not yet used timber' and my area and boxes for storing these pieces has once again been tidied up today.
