First DIY with the new saw

So far I had only been using my new saw for cutting firewood. And it is amazing! It is so fast. And some weeks you go through quite a lot of the stuff. When we first had two days of snow and ice, and then one storm after the other, I was burning through quite a lot. But I still have plenty of uncut stock. And with a saw like that, that is easily turned into appropriately sized chunks.

The saw is not only good for speed, though; also for precision. And I had come up for its first application. It is a bit of a pity I got this thing after making my under-stairs cupboard, but opposite that cupboard is an old shoe rack I have, of which I think the shelves are a bit too far apart. I decided to add one. And it helps then if all your cuts are straight. If you let me have my way with a hand saw that might very well not be the result. But with this mitre saw it is! 

I still had quite some pallet planks standing around, so I picked a few that were fairly intact, and decided these would be shelves. Cutting them to size is literally seconds worth of work. And putting them in position is also not very laborious. So it's only one additional shelf in a very modest piece of furniture, but I enjoyed doing that! And I'm sure I'll think of other projects involving the saw in the future!

Only the supports in yet
