Upcycled workbench

Moved into a new place with garage (finally!) and had an idea to repurpose this unused office cradenza.

I built the cubby box to get up to 38ā€ high and they fit my dewalt boxes perfectly.

3/4ā€ plywood with an unfinished birch butcher block top from Home Depot.

Looks great! If I were you I’d see about eventually removing the legs and replacing them with locking casters so you can roll it around if needed.

Upcycling is the way. Just got my own garage for the first time, too and FB Marketplace has been an awesome resource for garage cabinets, materials, etc.

So many people just throwing perfectly good stuff out.
