poopwell

today i built a composting toilet. i started calling it the poopwell. it's a simple box with a slighly decorated top and a toilet seat. it sits over a bucket. the top hinges so the bucket can be removed easily and replaced with a clean one. now i need to find a source of sawdust. i made so many mistakes putting this together. it has lots of holes in it that shouldn't be there. but i persevered and through several constructions and deconstructions it slowly took form. it's varnished with a water based clear coat to keep it sanitary. most of it is made with birch plywood. the legs are pine. the toilet seat is oak. i decided to do a kind of wave pattern on the sides partly so that there's something to grab onto when lifting the top but also because i wanted this thing to have some flair! so a few waves along the edge to conjure flow and movement.
