Workbench and storage using recycled cabinetry

Sourced some plain office cupboards off marketplace and cut strips of ply up to change the face of the doors into shaker doors. Painted and added handles. Added a bunnings bench top with a spot for the drop saw to sit in. And added a peg board to hold our home tools. Then added a storage area on the side with 2 sliding doors.
