great way to save money on wood and keep more stuff from ending up in the landfill. maybe you could put little drawers in between each of the countertop pieces you used as a riser to make the bed level with miter saw. could store smaller measuring and marking tools etc. looking forward to seeing if you add upper storage. and if it back further against wall since you had to shift the bottom cabinets forward because of the type of miter saw you have.
I liked this and Part 2 (watched both). I do the same thing - never throw away anything remotely useful. Half my shop furniture is made of (xx Old Thing xx) on locking casters, and I've made more cutting boards out of the frames of furniture than I can count - lots of 2nd-tier hardwoods in those. I agree with the other commenter that you'll enjoy coming up with something for behind the fence, and maybe small interstitial drawers. Question: what species of wood is your old, rolling station made of? Freaking beautiful.
I was happy with the mitre saw set up and had no plans to change things but sometimes life forces you to 'go there' plus these things are always a good excuse to make a video:) That old rolling thing is just made from framing pine, it does look nice and rich but this is because of it's age (about thirty years) and the oil based varnish yellowing over that time.
@@awintheshedLove when I find some pine like that too. I bet myself it was that, or some of that exotic stuff you guys down in AUS/NZ get. Either way, nice touch!

Great idea! I don't have plans for storage behind the fence at the moment but will keep it in mind for a future project:)
