I know the title of this project screams boredom, but in reality, this was a rewarding build. The reason I built a metal trashcan is evident in the photo below. While grinding angle iron during the Fly Press Table project, sparks lit the trashcan on fire. On the bright side, I was able to function check one of our fire extinguishers (it worked) and was reminded that one shouldn’t have easily combustible items in a blacksmith’s workshop.
Check out the build on YouTube. Three videos show my process of cutting, welding, and painting the can. Oh, and there is a little blacksmithing as well to make the lid handle. Here is Part 1.
