I've been planning to make another mini pond for months now, but none of my plans seemed to work. As I explored ideas, I was set on doing something with a storage bin. It seemed like it could make for a fun project in concept and I wasn't wrong. This was a really enjoyable build from start to finish. I think the result is really unique looking, especially with all of the cedar and copper elements. What do you think?
