    Default Waste paper bins

    Hi Forumites. Been a while since I posted. I made a paper bin for my daughter and now everyone wants one. Building up a few for stock and plan to sell them at the many Saturday markets around Sydney. They're not master built stuff, only 6 mm MDF, but my daughter decorates them very well. Will sell for about $25 to $30 each.

    If anyone has any other marketing ideas would appreciate the input.

    Is that a straight 45 degree bevel or is it another angle with a taper?

    Default The joint

    The sides are not mitred. All 4 sides are cut and trimmed in a jig, then just butt glued on another jig and clamped. Before removing them from the glue jig each join has 3 small screws inserted for strength. The paper decoration on the sides covers the screws anyway.
