[@flamewave000]

The whole time I'm watching this as someone who's family ran a mill for 60 years, and I'm just like, how are you not buying direct!? If you have big bulk needs, find the mill that's cutting the stuff and buy direct, cut out the distributers. Also for the scrap, it's not a "shredder" but actually a wood "Chipper" that you get. The wood chips are used for all sorts of products and the mills themselves often do the same exact thing with their trim ends and a lot of the wood that's graded worse than a 3 or 4. Also, I'm amazed no one in this shop has been trained to be a Wood Grader. Some distributers try to F you and give you #3 or #4 grade wood (construction grades) and try to sell it at premium grade prices (#1 and #2 grades). Edit: I also wanted to mention, they're called a "bundle" of lumber. A "bunk" is a spot (usually sheltered by a roof) where you put one or more bundles of lumber for storage.

It's unfortunate, but as soon as you show that you are unable to properly inspect/judge a vendor's quality of product/labor, many will take that as an opportunity to take advantage of you. I was definitely put through the ringer as a young engineer in positions that typically require much more experience.

[@universalAssociation]

As an engineer, I was assigned to 'cost reduction' projects all the time so this was right up my alley! I am really surprised that they haven't done a cost reduction analysis earlier. If you don't grade the product when it comes in they will keep sending you crap. ( I also had to help run a program about grading incoming material and documenting the bad stuff and getting our money back. If it was the wrong grade we would only pay them for the proper grade and we also used to charge suppliers for disposal if they sent us garbage we couldn't use and didn't pick it up within 7 days, but we were a high volume customer.)

[@ninjasownpirates]

As an engineer myself, accepting (really just the rejecting part) materials sounds like a nightmare to me.

[@KingBobXVI]

I'm a little surprised, but a little not surprised, lol - Doug is a great craftsman, but is a prime example of the phrase, "penny wise, pound foolish". I'd imagine he just didn't push for cost reduction analysis before just because it, well, has a cost.

[@universalAssociation]

@@ninjasownpirates Yeah... The cost reduction projects could be fun, but once I started working on the materials, it wasn't so fun. It was messy and I was almost constantly having to argue with someone and document bad materials.

[@dougraas7222]

The oldest thing I own - A friend of mine was working a archeological dig in Israel a number of years ago. They essentially only want whole or mostly whole things. Shards of things are not useful, and apparently, they get a lot of them. So, workers who were there, can take them. She had a selection of maybe a dozen I could choose from, and I took one that is a triangular piece, with a round bit coming off from it with a hole, like a finger-handle or some such. I imagine it is probably 2000 - 2500 years old. After that, probably a book from the 1800s sometime.

[@geoffreypeterson8903]

For everyone thinking they could sell or donate the scraps, remember how MUCH waste they have. They spent $8000 last month on trash, so at $10 per ton, that's 800 TONS of waste PER MONTH. Even if only a 1% is salvageable wood scraps, they wouldn't be able to HOLD that volume of scrap in their warehouse without it costing a fortune.

[@dekkarmcgowan1423]

They would probably have another humidity issue now that the space they occupy has so much more wood that will be sucking moisture out of the air.

[@jafrazer]

Surely they could get in contact with local schools, makers spaces, and the like and tell them, "hey, this is our weekly waste collection day. If you want to drop by and scavenge small chunks of high quality timber for your wood shop, let's arrange for you to come by the day before and see what you could take." And let the m take whatever they want for free. Yeah, this probably wouldn't make a dent in WW's costs, but it saves wasting wood (ecologically) and gets them some good PR in the local area. And maybe extend that offer to any hobbyists, but put a fee on it ($50 and you can take as much lumber as you can take in your car). It's pocket change for WW, but it's saving the wood from being wasted.

[@rhysredin3030]

@@jafrazer Waivers can only get you so far, and still an awful lot of logistics and probably not worth their effort. The only way I could see it working is if they designated a space to store a certain amount without putting in much thought. If it seemed worth keeping add it to the pile, if the pile is full, scrap it as normal. Could then allow a first come first serve sale of bulk offcuts online, done in bulk as to not clog up delivery of every wyrmling deciding to buy one piece of wood a person, and of course no refunds.

People really don't seem to understand how little of a difference giving away and donating portions of that wood scrap would make and how much it would cost to host such events. The most business friendly way to handle it is to get as much money back as is feasible while offloading all of the scrap to as few places as possible. No other solution is going to work at scale.

[@ubxs113]

[@Indian0Lore]

Small woodworkers in the area, come raid the dumpsters

[@Lurklen]

@@Indian0Lore You could do that, but you have no guarantee that enough of those woodworkers are going to come and pick up your waste. You do know that you are going to produce X amount of waste every day. Relying on a inconsistent method to get rid of a consistent problem is just going to lead to bottle necking in the future. That's why we don't just have random people pick up our garbage on some loose contract, even if there are other waste solutions out there, if they're not consistent they aren't effective at a large scale. Also, if you can manage to make money from your waste, even if it doesn't recoup cost, it's always better than either spending money, or getting nothing for it. And as it sounds like it's already going to be recycled for gain, it's really a no brainer. Though I mean until they solve that problem, putting a "Wood Scrap, Free Pickings" up might be good, though I'm sure there's some kind of liability issues there. Like if someone gets hurt scrounging in your dumpster of wood, it's on you for letting them.

[@kirakabuki]

I believe it more has to do with there would be legal issues with them just giving the scrap away to just anybody as a company.

[@kgoblin5084]

Another week, another round of comments making yet more of the same suggestions, none of them dealing with the scale of lumber produced. I really think they SHOULD keep some of the scrap separate to sell/donate/use, but I don't pretend like that is going to solve their core issue. It's a stopgap measure at best. We have 1 joker saying they should hire a blacksmith & make knives FFS... yeah, let's distract the R&D team for a month on a totally new type of product, spend a month+ interviewing for smiths, god knows how much money to acquire smithing equipment & setup a compliant work area, even more money for the specialist equipment to make the handles... all to convert less than a quarter of the dumpster produced per day into product over the course of 2 days to a week. Which then has to be stored on premises until sold. And oh yeah! the product is a form of weapon which is gonna just do wonders for cheaply & efficiently delivering it to customers. Brilliant!

That wood getting thrown away hurts my soul.

[@Wendygram]

Amen! so much lovely stuff could be made. Why does nobody have a waste reselling business?

[@residentroofkorean]

@@Wendygram Dale and Doug mentioned it in the episode. There are ways to resell waste, but it's not going to be as offcuts. The various costs that would be involved in processing warehousing and shipping are astronomical. With the sheer amount of waste wyrmwood produces, no number of retail buyers could even put a dent in it, and no commercial operation would buy it because the offcuts are too small to be processed by a commercial sized machine. So their best option is to grind it all up and hope selling that can offset the cost of having the ground up wood hauled away.

[@Wendygram]

@@residentroofkorean I meant a company that buys and stores choice waste, then sells at a profit. Take the cost away from companies like wyrmwood.

[@Indian0Lore]

@@Wendygram hiring people just to sort the incoming “waste” would eat up any profits.

[@Nworthholf]

@@residentroofkorean they might even get a fuel brick press themselves. They are really cheap (like 15-20k here in Europe) and occupy much less space than raw dust, so less trucks to haul. Big sawmills even run their own small electric stations off their waste, but Wyrmwood does not have that amount of sawdust... yet, but definitely something to consider when building their own facility.

You can probably donate some of the scrap to local school wood shops, scout troops, and other organizations that could probably reuse the scrap in other creative ways other than burning it. Or Give the challenge to Ed to make something of it.

[@momentumyoga]

I watched part of the video over my husband's shoulder, and saw the discussion about hauling off the scrap. I hope the other suggestions are also useful, but one thing that might be useful is to see if there are any preschools, makerspaces (particularly for kids), charter/co-op/homeschool-groups that would come pick up significant amounts of it. My kids have a large stash of spare wood (of those sizes and much smaller - the odder shape the better) that they like to randomly "build" with. Their preschool often had a lot of use for "loose parts" like this, as do other preschools I know. (We're on the opposite side of the country so I can't make specific suggestions.) Kids *love* this sort of stuff to build with and it can be harder than you'd think to get the spare parts.

[@EmoKillsBest]

Honestly those off cuts can be used for quite a few projects, one of the things that immediately comes to mind is knife handles. Y'all should get a blacksmith in there full time making different knives, blades, etc and have them use those off cuts for the handles, scabbards, etc. Imagine a purpleheart handle with a D20 on the pommel. Shit would be gorgeous. Edit: You could possibly donate that stuff to a school shop program as well and write it off on your taxes (I think? Idk taxes are weird). Schools usually struggle quite a bit with funding and honestly if some 8th grades can make a birdhouse or some shit with the scraps, at least they won't go to waste.

That blacksmith idea, Jason wants to do an EDC line. Knives are a very common EDC product. Some of the other comments are correct, it's a huge amount of scrap. BUT, they could hire out a company to do their EDC knives, who already has capacity enough to work on that large of quantities. Hire them out, ship off the scrap. It gets turned into money.

It's old enough that it's from a time before the periodic table became A Thing, so there is a bunch of discussion about things like "inflammable air" (hydrogen), and other alternative names for elements. Assuming you can get past the old printing style of using "f" for virtually every single "s" it is absolutely fascinating.

@@TheOntthunderbo Thinking about it, probably right. It's a matter of replacing the decking, or the whole thing if I go composite. It's also a carport so that becomes a whole permit issue

[@Salinaskid96]

The music always choice bruh 🤘🏼

[@shawnpgorman]

A lot of that waste wood could be sold as turning blanks, pen blanks, or knife scales.

[@braytac]

Very good episode of Suits i like it

[@VoiceNerd]

Frank's back!!! Thank you for listening 😆

[@jamiehope8703]

“Alchemy” the technical term for turning wood into money 😂

[@kassy1984-s7p]

Wyrmwood Mulch... Wyrmwood Wood Chyps... Could donate some of the wood waste to local schools for their woodworking classes... Also, the oldest thing I own is an antique chaise lounge that belonged to my great grandmother.

The little coffee scooper I have has been transferred from can to can for well over a hundred years at this point.

[@devincheeseman3867]

Any episode with Frank is a good time.

[@sydneyrehmke9598]

These intros are 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@Farstr1d3r]

The fade out was classic. $$$$$$$

[@JKSSubstandard]

" you can only mill this by hand" yes, I would be doing just that. I feel like I need to drive to Massachusetts and go dumpster diving

[@michaelshields1861]

The desk I am currently sitting at was hand made by my great grandfather to use for his radio. Not only has it never left this room, but it physically cant either get through the door or up to stairs it's so big.

[@theonerod1]

The oldest thing that I own would have to be a Slingerland snare drum from 1947 approximately. It is reminiscent of the drum that my dad used to use. And it still sounds pretty good even today.

[@anucari]

Oldest thing I own is a cloak like cardigan that Iv had for about 7 years. Also you could offer wyrmwood diy kits? Take the excess cuts and see if anyone wants to buy it for the sake of it having been from wyrmwood and maybe brand a piece with the wyrmwood mark and see what people make out of it

[@Bugzeejr2003]

8:10 I absolutely lost my shit at that. Caught me off guard.

[@OdysseyScorpio]

Clean Shaved Doug! what?!

[@Kineteken]

Zaddy Dale got muscles 🤩😜

[@jpbird05]

Oldest thing I own: Chair from my Great Great Great Grandfather that was from the late 1800s (parent's house built in 1876). Reclines with the use of wooden pegs

[@ipoddrake]

this all was actually a really interesting episode to me

[@TheRubbberDucky]

Honestly, I have been wondering how you source your lumber and the waste information is fascinating.

[@RpgamesBe]

Frank is such a hero!

[@katz86]

Really liked the music in this one.

[@okeytay4]

Don't know why, but this episode was seriously super interesting!

[@0Vageta0]

God I love Frank

[@Colin_After_Dark]

Frank just fucking rules. This wood guru guy seems pretty cool.

[@And-c7n]

Hard to do with short lengths but you could make laminated lumber (glum lam) with those short pieces. I'm mostly wondering when you aren't making flat small dice trays, coasters, or even gaming meeples as the pieces are more than big enough Yeah Wynwood Meeples for the People's!

[@lobose13]

BIG BUNKS and often

[@xxhellspawnedxx]

All of those perfectly passable off-cuts, I'm just thinking... Isn't there a market for lower grade, small scale accessories that could be made from those?

[@Samsocks1996]

The oldest thing I and my husband own is a 1940s house (fixer upper), but my husband owns a 1890s book about poisons and what its effects are.
