True cabinet makers will NOT like this. Vanity PART 1

  • Well, I may have finally lost it. I'm pretty sure I went off the deep end with joinery on this white oak vanity. I had to make it somewhat modular for transportation and installation, so I went with a hybrid approach of 30% cabinetry and 70% furniture...what I am calling "cabiniture." The white oak vanity needed to look like furniture, but also function like cabinetry, so I used almost every type of fastener in my arsenal, including the Lamello Zeta P2, Festool Domino, pocket screws, brad nails, etc. to combine the two building styles. Oh, and there were plenty of mistakes along the way to troubleshoot and fix. I hope you enjoy! #cabinetmaking

    this was super helpful, im looking at building something similar soon and watching your content always helps. one thing i did notice is that on the bottom shelves the outside pieces that connect the front to the back are alot thicker than the shelf itself. is that on purpose? just looks a little odd thats all. Love the content keep it up

    This is some good timing! I just started a white oak vanity this past weekend. I'm very curious to see how you fit it against the wall with the leg pieces you've used, that's the one part I'm not totally sure on what I should do. it seems it'd be hard to scribe those thicc boi's.

    Slight gripe about metric vs. Imperial argument. first I’m American so use imperial. Now, if you were to design from the start in metric you’d intentionally divide a piece in multiples of 10 (or .5mm) which would yield far better rounding and divisions. When converting to metric based on a piece designed for imperial, yes the numbers would be all over. Just my .02. Love that vanity BTW and the amount of engineering needed to make it break down…wow!

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking

      Yes! My first generation Kapex from 2012 was flawless until I had some kickback that knocked the fences out of alignment and the blade arbor. They were never able to repair it properly. I am on my 3rd Kapex since then and none match the accuracy and cut quality of the 1st generation.

    Dude, well done! So much joinery content in 1 video is wild haha.
    Curious though, have you used the Festool knock-down hardware? If so, how do they compare to the lamello? I have the Festool kit, and honestly for $300+ purchase, I've been pretty underwhelmed with its ability to pull joints tight and keep them there. I've seen you use the lamello almost religiously, so I assume in-person, it really does a solid job?

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
      @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking  Рік тому +1

      Hey Donny! I have yet to try the Festool connectors, so I can't speak on their effectiveness vs. the Lamello. But that might be a good video idea! And yes, the Lamello does a phenomenal job of pulling joints tight together using the Clamex connectors. The Tenso's work great as well, but don't offer nearly as much clamping power as the Clamex.
