A great thread guys, I'm glad I looked in on it.
Some of these dumpsters look down right cozy for living in.
I havent seen dumpsters here in Oz with side loading doors, so that was something new for me.
With the dumpsters made from wood as a Carpenter/Cabinetmaker I will suggest the following for those wishing to use that technique; choose the finest grain wood you can find, use the highest tooth number saw blade and cut slooowly to reduce tearout, then sand with coarse 80 grit, medium 120 grit and fine 240 grit sandpaper, using blocks and jigs to keep things square, prime then resand to remove fluffing, add details and continue. Actually it maybe better to size up and then sand the blank before cutting into little blocks and finishing the sanding.
I am also interested in the idea of resin casting bins and walk in bins as a good way to learn techiniques and who is going to critizise any imperfections when we all know that bins are all dinged up.
How did people do the wheels under the bins?
I have a number of dumpsters and recycle bins at work so I will measure and photograph them soon.
Next school holidays we will probably get one or two walk in bins, so I might get some details as well.
Better not forget the newer Trailer Trash towable bins either.
