Making Slow Progress

  Making slow progress on the trash can. Between the day job and Tucson Summer not much is done on any day. I have cleaned up the sides and trimmed the top.


Next up are the two trim pieces. The bottom trim will be attached and form the foot of the trash can. The top trim will be free floating, removable, and hold the trash sack in place. It will also have a lid. The biggest holdup is getting to the wood needed to make the trim. With my usual brilliance and forethought, when I cleaned up the shop after moving the benches I put the Alder on the bottom of the stack and piled the rest of the loose wood on top. Oh well I need the exercise.

  1. Oh. Now I'm confused, I thought you'd have a metal bin inside the wooden shell so it looked nicer; but Ken, what happens when the rubbish bag inevitably tears and leakes garbage juice all over the inside of the wood?

    You might want some sort of removable pan at the bottom made from something you can throw in a dishwasher. And maybe a way to get it out without reaching down inside the bin?

    1. Mark,

      I'll post some photos of the removable "spacer/false bottom" once it is made. Next up is the bottom trim and the bottom of the container that the removable bottom sits on.
