Pine trash can

I don't know if a trash can counts as furniture. But this is my website.

This is a design I came up with after looking at similarly designed bins. The bottom is 3/8" plywood. The frame itself is built with salvaged pine from some Ikea bed slats I picked up on bulk trash day in my neighborhood.

I built this mostly to practice my miters with a miter jig that I built based on Steve Ramsey's design. I finished it with a few coats of spray on lacquer.
