Workbench Scrap Can

You don’t have one of these, but your bench needs something like it:

Tiny Bandsaw perches just above it and now I have a place to drop the scraps you see collecting in its tray.

The can hangs by its rim from a completely kludged two-layered MDF hook stuck to the metal table frame with good 3M foam tape:

It’s not in the way of Tiny Bandsaw, because I stand at the left end of the bench, and it’s not in the way of the Sherline / LinuxCNC keyboard, because I stand to its right. So far, so good.

Should it fall off, I’ll think of something better.
