Record Player Repurposed Into a Liquor Cabinet.
3 Materials

The entire project took much longer than anticipated:
He assured me that I was on safe ground repurposing it because it was more "Antique Roadkill" than an "Antique Roadshow Treasure".
There was a mouse nest so the cabinet needed a power washing, disinfecting with bleach, then sealing in odors with some shellac
I lined the upper cabinet with zinc and added a green glass bottom.
I replaced the casters. Both the upper and lower cabinet have a battery operated touch light. I will leave it to the purchaser to decide to keep them or possible replace them with hard wired lighting.
