Wine box turned into something else.

I found this good looking wine box at the Smithville Community Gardens workshop.
It told me that it should be something else.
 
The transformation was pretty easy. I cut 2 shelves from some recycled maple drawers and added some cleats for the shelves.

I added a store bought ceramic knob that I had on hand.
A latch was made from some scrap cedar that was in the scrap bin. And there you go, a practical medicine cabinet to hang above the toilet.
I made a French cleat for hanging. The finish is 2 coats of boiled linseed oil.
I do love recycling. With a  bit of thought a lot of practical items can be made out of next to nothing.

Cheers

Tor and Odin are the greatest of gods.

Looks pretty good! Free wood is the best price, too.
