The first thing you do is locate a good source of pallets. You can actually order them online! Once you have a few pallets, you'll need to disassemble all of them and pull the nails out. I like to use a hammer and pry tool but they make a tool just for this that prevents you from having to bend over too far to pull these apart. It's called a pallet buster and here's the link to it: [ Ссылка ]. Next is to pull all the nails out of the slats. Now you'll want to determine your bottom dimension or footprint. This will be based on the size of trashcan you want to use. This is easier than trying to find a trashcan that will fit into your pallet rubbish bin. Now make your bottom square out of the slats based on this dimension. These are nailed together with a brad nailer. The use of one of these makes it nice so you can hold your pieces together with one hand and nail it with the other. Once you've built your bottom square, now put the bottom slats on so you are essentially making a tray. This will hold the load inside. Upon completion of that it's time to make your top square just the same as you built your bottom one. Now the easy part. Cut and nail in your sides connecting the top and bottom squares together. You may need to make some long cuts so all of your slats fit as they are of different widths which is part of what makes these unique as well as the different tones of wood. It's kind of amazing to think about where each of these pieces of wood originally came from and where they have been during their life as a pallet. Now it's time to construct the line. You can make your lid hinged or just have it set on top of your bin. The lid was given a slightly oversized dimension to fit the style I was going for. The handle used in the video came off an old U-haul truck that was scrapped. My kind auto mechanic neighbor supplied me with this. You can now stain your bin or just leave it as is.
