Project Nr 7, Tilt Out Garbage Bin, Part 3

Due to a flat tyre, I was stuck home today... and the weather is fine! So Finish of the bin ;-)
First thing today is assembling the front panel. Using the new ryobi combo saw, miter cuts are made easy. Need some excercise though...

So, that will fit just tight. Now the boards to make a nice front panel. Hope it will all be flush and right...

                                   

It fits! tight, almost flush, and almost right... but hey, that's part of the concept of building with pallet wood I guess.
Installing the hinges, and screwing on a bottom-panel as a support for the garbagebag. Forgot to take detailed pictures of that part... I also mounted a little handle to hang the bag on.

                                  

Nice! First time ever to build a cabinet like sturcture. Not to bad at all. Need to improve my skills a litlle more to more precise. But it's all a very good learning process ;-)
Finishing off with woodlovers teak oil spray, to give it some protection and making the grain stand out some more.

The first layer dried in 5 minutes, so I gave a second one. Finishes off just nice.
And does it fit in my utility room? 

Flush with the existing cabinet!

A little help and approval from Wolf ;-)

Oh Yes! it fits and it works as well!

Project Nr 7: Tilt Out Garbage Bin, Part 2

Yes, no raining today. Started of with the frame from 4.5x4.5. Cutting them at length. I needed the cabinet to be 88cm to make it flush with the existing workingtop that's installed in my utility room.

This time I used pocket holes to do the joinery. Not a bad idea I guess, and rather easy to do with the right jig. (thanks to Wolfcraft).

With part of the frame allready jointed, I started with mounting the palletwood boards. First the back panel, followed by the side panels.

 


Starts to look like a real cabinet! Due to the lovely Belgian weather, I needed to put everything inside... again. Just as I had all my stuff inside, I had to rush to the firestation... (chimney fire call)
I just had some time left over to put the top panel in his place before bedtime... ;-)

Project Nr 7: Tilt Out Garbage Bin, Part 1

In order to clean out a part of my utility room, I want to make a tilt out garbage bin. First I took apart 2 Epal-Pallets and used 4,5x4,5 wood to make a frame.

The pallets were not in a bad shape, but needed a first sanding anyway. I used a 80grit sanding disk on my angle grinder. Quick and easy cleaning ;-)

Lovely Belgian weather made me stop due to the rain...
