Question:

Where can I find detailed instructions on how to build a Faraday cage. (EMP)?

I want to build one out of a steel trash can or popcorn tin. I want instructions I can print out.

Answer:

The Taliban probably has instructions for you. This is America, you cant ask that kind of question without being a terrorist.
Try the internet. But you will need copper mesh, copper sheet on doors and windows, special copper gaskets on the doors and windows, and special feedthroughs for power and signal connections between inside and outside. And lots of training, this is not trivial to build. That is for a Faraday room or shield room. If you want a smaller enclosure with no people inside, no power or data connections, then a metal box is all you need. Yes, a metal trash can will work fine, as long as the lit fits tightly with no gaps. A dead microwave oven also works.
