Slap some french cleats on it, hang it on the wall, and HOLA !!! Instant miter saw workstation. These were supposed to be storage cubbies for the kids toys with an integrated desktop spanning the 2 cabinets. I went overboard on the design, my wife simpy wanted boxes. Oh well …..
All 1/2’ big box birch plywood. No finish yet. I put it to work immediatly. Plenty of storage for hand power tools and stuff. Always have a backup plan.
Enjoy…

LOL….I usually get into the same predicament. My better half asks for something and I make it much more finished…complicated…etc then she originally expected. Sometimes that works ok…most of the time…she starts complaining…and I am forced reduce back to a simple project with the retort (under my breath) that I am a woodworker and turning out simple junk goes against the grain….

WTF Dude! If she’s going to be that way about it, my kids could use something that nice. Where does she plan on putting the boxes?

Michael;
Nice re-purpose and this ended up as a really neat miter saw station. French cleats to get your workstation to right level is clever, to say the least! The openings might be good cut-off storage for future projects.?
Thanks for sharing.
Good Luck!

You got lucky there. Sometimes wives don’t fully understand the finer points of our projects, but on the other side we usually don’t understand anything about them.
