This week I'm restoring a rusty old metal cabinet, and turning it into a convenient storage organizer for my workshop. I love these sheet metal containers, and I hope this DIY technique encourages you to upcycle a couple of these for yourself. If you do restore a metal container, please let me know about it on instagram #rescuedmetal. (@almfab bit.ly/alminsta ) I will be happy to repost about it in my stories!
