I just wanted to post some progress I've made on my mitersaw bench. My intent was to increase the storage in my shop and also create specific locations for many of my hand held tools. I'm happy with how it turned out. I still need to build a top for the whole thing but don't know what I'm going to use yet.
First off, I'll say this was all built with materials on hand which dictated the size and choice of materials. The cabinet and drawer fronts are made from some MDF core hardwood plywood. The slides I purchased a couple of years ago off of ebay and the pulls were bought at our local Woodcraft's swap meet. I did buy 1-1/2 sheets of BB plywood for the drawers. Total cost for everything was less than $100.
The first shot shows the main cabinet and the mitersaw shelf. My plan is for a cutoff bucket to fit under the mitersaw. The drawer fronts are from some smaller cutoffs of Cherry plywood so the grain doesn't match but I really like the look with the brass knobs.
The second through fifth pictures show the top two drawers on either side. I'm going to use them for a while before adding dividers.
