House of Stark Garbage Can Lid

At some point I lost the plastic lid for this garbage can. I made a plywood cover (that is shown in several recent posts as a photo backdrop) that worked OK but looked like crap. Since the disk was about shield size, I knew that I had to dress it up with the sigil of House Stark from HBO's "Game of Thrones".



After scaling the sigil in Illustrator, I transferred it over to 1/8" MDF with carbon paper.



I cut out all the pieces with the bandsaw after carefully numbering all the parts.



The pieces were painted with a hammered silver and glued down on the gloss black lid.



Look how much classier my garbage can is!! After all, "Trash Day is Coming"
