This is a new outdoor trash can holder I built to replace the one that was hit by a car last winter. I used 5/4 pressure treated with 4×4 corner posts. I mortised and pocket screwed the 5/4 to the posts. and added 1/2" conduit for accent. I capped it off with ripped down 5/4 and pocket screwed...

This is just something i saw on you tube and it makes a lot of sense to me. I measn why have your trash all sitting out for everyone to see and smell. My kitchen looks better now that theres no garbage can full of garbage in the corner of the room and i think it helps with the smell as well. You...

Our dog had a habit of sticking her nose in the trash can. To remedy this, I wanted to build a trash can that hid in a cabinet in our kitchen. This was made more complicated by the fact that the opening of our cabinets were narrower than a standard width kitchen garbage. Anything that did fit...

After spending several hours looking for thin trashcans online I finally decided to just build them. The thinnest ones that I could find started at 11" wide. I needed one that was only 5-1/2" wide and 23" tall and 23" deep. Pretty unique. Now the space is mazimized to store the most amount...

This is a scaled down version of the one I made previously. It is designed for 13 gallon bags. The base is 1/2" Birch Ply and the top is soft maple. The finish is GF Gel Stain (American Oak) with GF Gel Topcoat (Satin). I don't know why the pics are sideways.

After purchasing the Harbor Freight 2HP dust collector the other day on sale @ $139, I got to work modifying it as many others have done. I bolted the motor to the wall and connected a separator underneath. I cut the two hose sections from the existing hose that came with the DC and used those...

My girlfriend wanted a Trash can hide away, so I built this prototype. Rather than using solid wood, I decided to use plywood and build a frame for each side and the top. I used 18" drawer slides, so it would roll out. this was my first attempt at building something of type. It took me probably...

This is a simple little trash can. The bottom is removable so if the bag leaks it can be cleaned or exchanged.

I made this trash can several months ago before I joined LJ. It is made of the same pine 1×6 T/G paneling I used on me B/R walls. Took a while to figure the angles and a bugger to assemble. I ended up buying some strap clamps to get it together. What I like about LJ is even the simple...

My dog keeps getting into the bathroom trash can. The last time he did, I pulled some dental floss hanging out of his mouth and a 2 foot section came out of his throat. So I needed a way to stop him from getting his head in there. I created this cap from sapele, but only covered half the can...

We needed a better trash can than what we had and we needed a place to store recyclables. I had been tossing around several ideas, then it hit me…..I can make a recycled recycle bin! I am lucky enough to have a few building materials recycling places around town. I went to one we have called...

In a few hours you can make this simple wooden trash can. This simple design can be modified into whatever theme you choose. Get creative and show us all what you come up with! I made these two in 5 hours with about $70. Two 1×12x96" boards per can, some screws/nails, a pair of hinges, wood...

Here is my first post. We removed a built-in trash compactor which left a 15" opening in between the cabinets. We wanted to build a new cabinet that would house a concealed trash can. So we had a raised-panel door made (I did not have a router big enough at the time to do raised-panel doors)...

This project represents the deepest thoughts I've ever committed to garbage… It was a fun and pretty quick project overall. I'm happy it's done so we can throw out our old kitchen trash can which was in dire need of replacing. There were a few firsts for me on this project; the butcher block...

Another simple trash can. My wife wanted to add a little something to give it to her best friend. Basically I got voluntold to add a paw print. I didnt want to carve, rout, or paint so I decided to break out the wood burner. It has been years since I used it and was happy to change things up a...

This is a project that my wife cousin has been waiting of for about 3 years and finally got around to making it for her. I used dado's and pockets screws for assembly. There is a drawer under it for trash bag storage, and it simply slides on the floor on heavy duty felt pads.

Our beagle treats trash like Christmas decorations, spreading holiday goodness throughout the house. So I made this.

Haven't spent much time in the shop so I've been making some small projects to dust off the cobwebs. The sides are 1/4" thick book matched quartersawn white oak panels. The corners are 1 1/4 square. All sides angle out 6 degrees from the bottom. I haven't done many projects of my own design and...
