MITER SAW DRESSER

Miter Saws are much easier to use on a stand than on the ground as it turns out, so I set out to make a stand. Most of the plans I found were boxy and functional, but I wanted something a little cuter for my #GirlGarage space.

I had an old dresser I snagged from the thrift store without a vision, so I set out to transform it into a miter saw stand. I detached the legs & added caster wheels.

I used some plans from my friends over at Shanty to Chic to build out a custom top to fit my saw and then painted it pink — adding new hardware and storage bowls.
