DIY Butchers Memory Chest

This was a lot of fun to make. I've had this idea for quite some time and finally had the motivation to build it! Please note, if I was to build it again, I would build my side walls 6 boards tall and add the 7/8 boards at the very end when capping it. This project is made with 14, 93" 2x4's with some scrap left over. You'll need some hairpin legs or something of your choice, and some hinges. Pretty simple and looks awesome. Enjoy!
