Having decided I’m sick of cheap n’ nasty plastic or metal (or even woven) waste bins, I’ve started making some from recycled palette wood.
The first is shown above, finished and in use. The second is detailed below. From processing the lumber to gluing up and painting.






The first bin is ‘raw’ wood, inside and out (and along the upper edges; warts and all). The second is more processed, with a smoother and coloured interior. Both are 12-sided.


Went with a pea-green interior…

I quite like the idea of making and selling a few of these. Will there be a market for them?
