Garage update {part 3}


Today I'm sharing the final part of my garage update. I am so happy with my new workspace. It's happy and efficient, which is what I needed! If you missed the first two parts, find the first part, including my favorite large pieces here and find how I made a fancy workbench, chalkboard labels and a matching work apron here.

I finished up with a miter saw cart (yeah, it's fancy too!). I put wheels on the bottom of it as well. The wings are so helpful since I work alone so often. It's so nice not to have to use my foot to catch the board falling off the other side of my saw.

Here's the plan for it: of course, from the ah-mazing Ana White. Find them here, and make sure you check out some of the other brag posts. People do such great things! 


I love how it has a shelf on the bottom for a scrap bin and trash bin.



And no, I couldn't resist painting it turquoise chevron. I like pretty things, okay?!


I used these hinges, one set on each side, and 3" casters (with brakes!) from Lowe's. 



You might all remember when I made these sawhorses. I used them, and used them, and as you can see, used them. 



They got a little dirty. I had also found some unfinished sawhorses on the side of the road, so I decided to repaint all of the sawhorses to get a fresh start!


I know it won't last long, but don't they look so nice and clean?!

Hope you are all having a great week! I can't believe it's already WEDNESDAY! See you soon!

  2. Choosing the right power tool to best suit our specific needs can sometimes be a daunting process, especially when choosing a miter saw.
