I done a similar vanity top 2yrs ago for a customer out of cherry it turned out very well I used a commercial Valdpar stain and 4 coats of clear epoxy on the top and 2 coats on the bottom. I mirror imaged my seams and biscuits. My biggest issue was getting the top flush and smooth my old planer quit mid way through luckily my dad has a 42" drum sander in his shop it took a little longer but top came out looking good . I'm a 3rd plus generation cabinet and furniture carpenter and had to laugh when you you said yes that the biscuit joiner was harbor freight I have a few harbor freight tools that work just as well as my milwaukee bosh or older porter - cable tools. I bought a Hercules 12" compound slide miter and it cuts better than my dad's Dewalt. Good tools help but a good tradesmen can make regular home owner stuff work and at less cost
I started off with nothing but HF tools. As I made and sold items I took all the profit and put it into buying tools. I still have many HF items. The biscut jointer, palm router, plunge router, circular saw. and many others. I also have bunch of tools from my dads workshop. They don't make tools like they used too for sure.
Proud of you, good job on finishing your project!
Thanks for the video , great stuff!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job my brother very nice to later :)
Thanks TJ.

I’ve been looking at building a new vanity for my bathroom. This was the first video that came up when I searched! I did watch the video on the base first but now I’ve got a great idea on what I need to do. Thanks, Moonman!
Hahaha. I never installed it. I gave that to the people that bought my house. They said it was a deal breaker if I didn’t.
@@MoonpieCreations worth it! Will you consider doing another?
@@shaunfelton2046 I’m in a brand new house. No need.
@@MoonpieCreations nice! My house is the same vintage as me, 1978.
It's looking good Ken. Your shop is looking good too. Looks like you've done some straightening. LOOKING forward to the finish of this one. The color looks good to me.
The spalting really looks good. Still not sure about that finish. I may put a few more coats on it.
Ken
Some nice pieces of wood there. That will warm up the look of the bathroom.
I've decided on a walnut stain for the base as the bathroom will be painted white. So this top will go nicely.
Ken
How has that finish held up after a year now?
imperthean, I would love to tell you, but to tell the truth something came up and I still haven't installed this. I have used this finish on a few other items since then and I can say I am not a fan. Doesn't coat thick enough and it left brush marks. Seems to hold up ok though.
Ken
Use waterlox
I like the top too! The finish looks good! I’m gonna be doing the downstairs guest bath after I finish the T&G on the Master Bedroom ceiling, so I’m watching your re-do with lots of interest! Thanks Ken!
Bad part is, now I'm gonna redo the whole bathroom except the tub. Makes me sad that I have to do it. I just don't have the time. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make time. :)
Ken
im starting this project soon. im doing the sink that rests on top of the counter
I chose one that rests on top also.....I'm ashamed to say I still haven't installed this. 😨
Looking good, thumbs up Ken.
Thank you sir.
Ken

Thanks Dave. I am hoping it turns out nice.
Ken

Thanks Bill.
Your mom forgot to pay for your singing lessons.
But I have the voice and the face of an angel. Wait wasn't the devil an angel?
Ken
Good job!
Thank you.
ken
I like the top!!!👍👍
Thanks Bob, I'm hoping the rest of it turns out even better
Beautiful top! What type of wood did you use?
Crystal Wood thank you. It is a spalted red oK my buddy milled about 6 years ago.
Ken
Looks pretty damn cool!
Thanks. That spalting in the oak is amazing. Imagine my buddy gave me 40 pieces for $80 because he was gonna burn it.
Ken
It’s looking awesome.
Thank Thom, the next video comes out later today.
Ken
