I assume the plug hole has a lot of resin and then silicone in it. But the next thing has to be a backsplash to stop the wall from getting trashed and to stop water getting down the back and breaking down the materials with time? Perhaps some creative materials usage for a backsplash ? As always superb video 😀
Yes! I was out of silicone and didn‘t want to run to the shop right now. I will add all that once we go back to „normal“
silicone is not the correct material for bedding a drain fitting into the opening. It should instead be done with a product known as "plumber's putty" or as an alternative butyl rubber tape. Both of those material will remain soft and stay watertight for a lifetime of use. But silicone caulking can loose its bond and then leaks will occur.
@@karincorbin2355 you are right! I'm a plumber
SIKA makes a product called "supermastic-2", used for drains and such.
@@DMJ1978 SIKA makes a tube of goo for everything. Want to make a mess? Check with SIKA, they'll give you something to make a mess with.
This is Laura’s way of reminding everyone to wash their hands 🤣
Always new techniques, working with scrap, making art. Inventing, growing. Never stop. Thank you!
I've never seen anything like this, Laura. The concept of using wood is so unexpected for a sink. The look is incredible. Makes me thinks about designing a whole integrated sink, drain board, and countertop using butcher block and wood inlays. Great idea and a beautiful piece. Thanks again.
I was just googling plywood sinks the other day and then you come out with this EXCELLENT video. The stars have aligned 💫 thank you Laura!! Stay healthy and safe!!
Its like building a reverse boat! Looks awesome.
That's an outstanding project and it came out very nicely. For future reference (should you have another such project), there are very soft, finely woven fiberglass cloths used in the radio control airplane hobby. Those finer cloths allow you to mold them into corners easier. That way, you can seal the corners with the fiberglass as well. Keep up the great work.
I know some folks won't like this, but for some reason, this is one of my favorite of all your projects...
Thank you!
Erik, I was thinking the same thing.
Masterclass in building stuff extraordinary,video editing and music.
Thanks Laura for the great stuff you deliver.
Stay safe!!
My brother is a boat builder and has used the West System for about 30 years, great sink :)
What sank? :)
"West system"???
The fiberglass resin.
West is likely the paid promotion along with a few others.
West makes doing fiberglass easy and consistent.
It is also useful for working on aircraft.
Good stuff 👍
@@MRSketch09 Its an epoxy resin system, which unlike the traditional fibre glass resins does not suffer from osmosis hence why it was developed for Martine use, like other epoxy resins it is hard wearing
@@Richard_OKeeffe The other sort of resin generally used with glassfibre is Polyester. Still has it's place in glassfibre layup, but not as good as epoxy for glueing and sheathing jobs like this one. I build boats in wood, I use Epoxy. Use West a lot, but there are others that have their advantages. The MAS system in particular does not suffer from 'Amine Blush' (l'll not explain here, lots of info on the interweb.) I'm also interested in trying some of the new water based epoxies that are getting good reviews among fellow boatbuilders.
Honestly one of my favorite projects you've done. Love the repurposing.
I'm actually quite in love with the aesthetics of this sink... it looks so nice!!
Someone once said "Plywood: a much underrated building material". A great example of a new use.
A really interesting and underrated building material is papier mache...
I'm guaranteed each video of yours that I watch is going to be awesome. This is no exception! Great looking sink. Thank you for sharing.
My boyfriend showed me your vids and, even though I only have a jigsaw and a combitool, I can't help but watch most of your stuff! Plus, your dapper companion doesn't hurt 😊. Give Spiro my love!!!
Jigsaw is a super versatile tool-not the most precise but it gets stuff done! Keep going!!
Wow, I didn't expect this to look that nice. Stylish!
Exactly how I made my Darkroom sink - Fiberglass coated - Great job!
Thank you for the video Laura! It’s always great watching your creative work in action...
Great work and can be done using your scraps from workshop.
Thank you for sharing it with us, Laura!
Bravo! What a fabulous build, great ingenuity in keeping the expensive fibre glass to the bare minimum & retaining the plywood ambiance. Only down side will be question from visitors who haven't seen this video, about how a wood sink doesn't rot away! In the UK fibre glass is often used for exterior roofing repairs where once upon a time folk would have used lead. Thanks for sharing!
The craftsmanship that went in to this is amazing. I am inspired to create cool functional items.
Amazing as always! I love your ingenuity and your talent.
wow, that turned out amazing. I really like the plywood look!
Laura, you've outdone yourself! Beautiful basin/inside out boat!
Perfect timing, to remind us to wash hands and beautiful sink excellent job!
All the layers look really neat. It is such an upgrade over the old sink!
I found myself coming here for the music as well as your great videos.
Stay healthy Laura
Guys with photographic darkrooms have been making big plywood sinks for about 75 years, I do like some of your techniques.
Sweet! Really like how you showed off all the ply layers, nice job!
Stacked plywood just looks cool. Neat idea! Would love to see and update on how well it is holding up in the future. Thanks for sharing!
Such an original idea.. I love it!
Stunning work 👍
Laura, you really inspire us to do amazing things ... Thank you very much.
Another practical thing that is also a work of art. Wunderbar!
You are nothing short of amazing! Clever design. Thanks for a great video Laura!
Amazing project!! The music is a perfect choice.
Just another day of a great artist at work. Great project great storytelling great editing. Oh, and great woodworking equipment.
That’s some amazing work I love thing’s that are simple and clean and eye catching . Thank you
Great project Laura. Looks much nicer than the old sink.
And your video techniques and musical accompaniment are excellent as always.
Great work as usual. It looks very cool and nothing can go better than a plywood sink in a wood shop.
Thanks Laura! I really like to work with plywood for furniture, accentuating the layered effect. But I never thought of making a sink out of it. Thank and stay safe!
I can't say this is a very practical solution, but for sure I must say it's gorgeous! Very nicely done!
Another awesome build. No end to your creativity. Thanks for sharing.
Confined at home, I just bought a house for me and my two kids to live in but all restoration is in hold because of well you know... Laura's amazing ability fixing stuff with creativity just fucking cheered me up !!! This video was a little revelation. Even confined and without much material, I totally can transform this old house in a beautiful home for my kids. I JUST NEED FIBER GLASS AND EPOXY ! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work and your awesome musical taste ! Please keep posting, clearly humanity need you !
Design and color is the best, most of all the material of sink is the best which makes way of thinking.
Nice design .Love big space between spigot and sink . Now protect the wall .Thank you Laura !
Beautiful upgrade. Love the use of multiple 2D planes to make a 3D object. The number of layers in the plywood emphasizes this idea even more.
That is a cracking idea and nicely executed, wow.
Another good video Laura. And Smudo is absolutely adorable. I love that you feature him in your videos.
super good idea. i love it. maybe splash plate on the wall to protect it. with some nice graphics
This is awesome. I would love to eventually DIY all of the cabinets in my bathroom, but this video makes me realize that a woodworker might even DIY the sink itself. The plywood obviously works fine for your purpose, but that same method could easily be used with any type of wood you want. Super cool - thanks for sharing this.
Laura This was the first video I saw of the ones you made. I really liked it a lot. Videos of After seeing the rest of your. He was amazed at your abilities.
I tell you that I am an old school Carpenter. And that I have done work of all kinds. And the things you do seem incredible to me.
I greet you from Argentina.

Wow Laura, when I saw that you had made a sink from plywood, I was wondering how you would seal the wood from the water but you didn’t have surprise me when you sealed it with some fibreglass material and I think that that was an inspired decision because I was think of some sort of wood sealer to that very job, but once again you have done the most wonderful job of repurposing left over material from other projects.
Fantastic Laura, looking forward to your next video and please look after yourself during this most unpleasant of times.
You are so talented. Thank you for sharing this.
Really nice job, Laura. Thanks.
Wie immer, tolle Idee und tolle Ausführung! Wirklich inspirierend!
Amazing Laura, who would have thought of a sink made from wood!
Photographers have been doing this since photography was invented. We used to use asphaltum, then switched to fiberglass after WW2.
Awesome work Laura, the sink turned out great! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
It's so lovely! I am now eyeballing my rickety jarrah sink and thinking it must be replaced. I love the design you used; sleek, practical and low profile so it's not constantly in the way. Thank you.
That's amazing! I get inspired by others who inspire. Wood working is therapy. Think you!
A plywood sink i would have never thought of that. Good job
Wow, just wow. You never cease to amaze me.
Outstanding!!! Love it.
You are such an amazing craftsman!
You are very inspiring, thank you
Wow that's pretty awesome! Like always you've given me something to think about for my soon to be shop 🤔😊 Thank you for the awesome video and please keep them coming! Stay safe and God Bless!
I wish I had 1/100th of your creative imagination. Such a cool creation with stunning eye appeal!
Excellent project. These videos always attract so many know-it-all critics!
Love the design. Nice and simple.
Awesome as usual. Your videos are so calming.
I love it! The best "wash you hands" video yet!
I love when you need something you just making it! And of course you making it a nice video! 👌
Super cool stuff I typically put down a bed of resin before I lay the mat cool stuff!!! I’m gonna make one
Great job, I'm going to make one myself 👍 thanks for the inspiration.
Hell yea! Love this build.
Very cool project! The black paint is very nice! Wash your hands! 🧼
Laura you do such cool stuff! I love this channel.
Laura,
That was flipping awesome. Thanks for sharing.
✌️,
Jeremy
Wonderful job as always! 😊👍
Fantastic idea.. Gonna steal it for my shop. Course I'll put a few more curves in mine, I think..
Laura that is a very cool design!
It always makes me laugh, because there's a certain point, where I'm like, nope, I have no idea what's happening now. I mean, usually I don't know WHY, you're doing something. But I guess, and it makes sense in my head. But then....LOL. Thank you again, for an excellent video, Ms. Laura. I hope you and your family/friends are all doing well during this tough time.
Awesome build and very well put together video. Great job.
Nicely done Basin, now the wall needs a plywood splash back to keep dry.
Love the design! Like others said -- backsplash! -- also, it looked like you fitted your drain without any plumber's putty... it's like a kind of soft clay that doesn't really ever dry out and will fill in gaps and small voids between the drain and tub of the sink, preventing leaks. On the bright side, if the bottom of your sink does rot out, you can just whip out a fresh sheet of birch plywood and make another! This is a great idea and I'm very impressed with what you've done, here. All the very best to you!
A simple and very cool build! Love it :D
Nice job, you've got very creative ways of using plywood
Magnificent as always!!!
Beautiful work Laura!!!
Enjoy watching your projects become reality. I think you need to make matching hammocks for you and the pup--Summer's a coming! Thanks for the videos and great ideas.
Just wow, was looking for some inspiration and this hit just right
Un design fantastico e come sempre un bellissimo video, grande Laura!!! 👏👏👏
I like how the edges of plywood gave it a neat design. Didn't take too much material either. Well done
I love this. Building a camper in a 6'x12' cargo trailer, can't find sink for kitchen or bathroom in an appropriate size/style. This idea is awesome.
That is the most beautiful application of fiberglass I've ever seen.
Just ran across this, that came out really nicely. On a side note your shop and tool selection are excellent too (need to go tidy up mine now)
I love what this project symbolises! Traditionally, wood would not be used in plumbing applications, but this is a cool way to innovate an old material with new materials to achieve a purpose.
Great job ! Love it !
Love it! Now I want to make one.
Amazing project and video. Your skills are amazing. Stay safe and sane. Music is on point as usual.
Super sleek design! I dig it!
Very original. Thanks for sharing. Next level: plywood drain-pipes! You can do it!
