Kitchen Cabinet Workbench
$5.00
5 Days
Easy
I wanted a workbench with storage for my garage. I made a two dollar work bench from two free mismatched kitchen cabinets in very rough shape, a pallet wood top, and made cabinet pulls from old belts.
My two dollar recycled and up cycled garage workbench. I lived large and bought new washers to make the leather door pulls.
The cabinets were in rough shape. I had to repair the kick plate, shelves, and drawer rails before I down to the business of sanding and prepping the cabinets for primer and paint.
I build a raiser for one of the cabinets to they were an even height. Then I screwed the top of the workbench made from a wood pallet to he cabinets.
I made the cabinet door handles by cutting old leather belts and bolting them to the cabinets. I wasn't sure which handle style I liked better so I figured I have two sets of cabinets, why not do one of each style?
I cut dollar store no slip cabinet liners to fit the drawers instead buying the expensive no slip tool drawer liners from the home improvement store. No I have more money to spend on tools!
Finally I loaded my tool box and tool cases into my workbench!
