March build challenge: nothing but offcuts

Make something worth keeping using only scrap from your last three jobs. Community vote, three prizes, bragging rights.

The rules are simple: everything in your entry must come from offcuts you already had. No buying material for this.

How to enter

  1. Build the thing.
  2. Post it in the Showcase with the tag offcut-challenge.
  3. Include the recipe — machine, material, settings — because half the point is that everyone else learns something.

Judging

Community vote on the Showcase entries, closing at the end of the month. Three prizes:

  • Winner: £75 shop credit and a featured slot on the home page
  • Runners-up (×2): £25 shop credit

Why offcuts

Most of us have a box of material we feel guilty about. The best entries in this challenge historically haven't been the most complicated — they've been the ones where someone looked at a 90mm strip of walnut and saw something the rest of us didn't.
