Colorful and cheerful sideboard for the workshop, from Michael

Michael made a creative sideboard for his workshop from various recycled products. The base is made of plywood that was cut to size and ordered online. He made the other fronts and parts from recycled materials. A beautiful way to build a custom closet. Are you curious about his experiences? Read on!

Description by Michael

In this little project I built a sideboard for the (garage) workshop. The mix here is 50% multiplex from TOSIZE.ie and 50% upcycling of used materials. Plus experiments with varnish and colors :)

How I did this project

I built the body from the multiplex panels from TOSIZE.ie: The connections are all glued; aligned and stabilized with flat dowels. The cabinet parts are upcycled, as are the drawers. The drawer panels alone are also made from the multiplex ordered. Panels, etc. were aligned with spacers and the handles are screwed on. I also bought the (full extension) rails for the drawers. Painting was particularly fun; So more thoughts on the color combination. It's not important for the purpose in the garage; but hey, I'm experimenting :). The finish of the top panel (not sure but I think it's oak) is hard wax oil.

Dimensions of my DIY project

Approx. 130.0 cm wide, 93.0 cm high, 45.0 cm deep
