How to make a Pallet Wood Trash Can

This pallet wood trashcan project was super fun to make. The beauty of making pallet projects is that you can totally goof them up, which I have, and you aren't out of a bunch of money. It really puts the fun fun factor back into wood working and takes the pressure off. Not only are these great from a practical standpoint but they make really good gifts as well. Each one is guaranteed to turn out unique.
In order to properly obtain your raw materials you will need a simple set of tools for pulling the boards apart and extracting the nails. My favorite two tools to use is a hammer and a crow bar. I use a Cobalt brand one. Here's a link to the type of hammer and crow bar I use for this task.

I also used a brad nailer and compressor. This makes it nice you can "tack" your pieces together with one hand while holding them with the other. The drawback is that you need to make sure you are shooting your brad nails nice and straight so they don't go through your thumb and also so they don't protrude from the wood.
