After retiring from the Army and needing something to focus on, Mizner turned to wood carving and then making furniture and other items. “As I began collecting tools to use, I realized I needed a safe place to store them. One day I placed everything out on the floor, measured what I needed, and started building this cabinet.” He used wood from a tree that fell in his neighborhood, and chose the style after searching through books and media about different cabinet designs.
