My Wife's New Trash Can (October 2012)

Nice look. I like the drawer underneath

Another Linux user? Tell me what distro you use?

-- Joe - - - something witty should go here - - -

Thanks Monte. The best part is I can fit an entire empty pizza box in the can now. No more stacking it on top untill its full! lol

Hello Joe. Yes, I will never use a windows based PC ever again as a daily driver. I have 3 HDD running Mint 13×64 as the daily driver. Ubuntu 12.04×64 as my “try to get used to unity” but never seemed to enjoy using it. And lastly Windows 7 on the third drive only to run SolidWorks. Now that I have SketchUp going the W7 drive will likely remain unused. I have tried several distros over the past couple years but always seem to come back to Mint. Its just easy.

Excellent idea.Who would thought that trash can can be that nice.

It’s too beautiful to be a trash can. Good job!

I am inspired by your work. My wife should not see this or else …

not sure wich rocks more… that you run Linux too, or the awesome ‘can’ ya made here. oh heck, both!

*Ubuntu server here.. and Mint on LiveCD for a couple other boxes

Wow…Thanks everyone. The trash can obviously looks better than the plastic one it replaced but the best part I believe is now everything will be out of sight until it goes out the door….including large items like pesky pizza boxes (i love pizza). And also, glad to see other Linux users out there :)

Hmm…I don’t know why I never thought of using two straight-edge boards like that when you want to glue up and keep everything even. Brilliant, love it!

Very cool. I have been wanting to make something like this to hide our current trash can but I was not sure how I wanted to go about it. Seeing yours gives me a lot better idea. I really like your design, especially the drawer at the bottom. Thanks for posting.

This is so nice. We have a crappy, dark green plastic waste bin. I’m going to make one of these, and it will look really nice with our red ochre tile floor. Thanks for sharing!

Did you happen to post the sketchup file online? I’d love to share the plan with my brother-in-law so he could build me one!
