  • I live in a turn of the century home and we only have one bathroom in the living area of the house. I wanted a custom sink but I didn't want to pay boku bucks for one from one of the expensive furniture stores, so I built one!

    I'm building matching side by side vanities out of walnut. I struggled with sink, too, and ended up going with a vessel sink so the underside was open for drawers.

      We plan on using it to store towels. I saw it on some space inspired furniture and really liked it.

    Just finished building your design. Used lighter walnut per the customer's request. Unfortunately, she couldn't afford the "big sink" so we compromised on that. Anyway, it looks awesome. Went off to rave reviews. Thanks for the tip on the under-mount drawer slides. That saved some time!

    • @WoodWorkLIFE
      @WoodWorkLIFE  4 роки тому

      Very cool! Do you have any pictures? I would love to see how it turned out. Did the customer find my video or did you?

      @@WoodWorkLIFE I actually designed almost the identical build in Sketchup and ran into the same problem you did: how do you mount the drawers? Found your video / solution and downloaded the plans since it saved me having to re-draw. How do I send you pics on youtube?

    With any luck, the non-squareness of your cabinet matches the non-squareness of your walls. :) Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

    Beautiful build! I love walnut, though I’ve never worked with walnut ply before. The domino through detail was nice on the drawers! I can empathize with family and other responsibilities taking precedence over publishing!

    • @WoodWorkLIFE
      @WoodWorkLIFE  6 років тому +1

      You've got it. I love these projects and the people that follow me on this platform. But that amazing wife of mine and awesome baby girls are my everything. Glad I could finally make something for them.

    What a beautiful vanity and a great video! That walnut just sings! I do like the added domino detail on the sides of the drawers. It's just a touch of something different, though I agree it probably wouldn't work for all styles. And go you for the non-square, looking like it's square top! Nice one!

    • @WoodWorkLIFE

    Such a nice build and video! That walnut plywood is gorgeous and the finish looks great! Well done. Are there any concerns with the monocoat in the "wet" bathroom environment? Do you have to reapply down the road?

    • @WoodWorkLIFE
      @WoodWorkLIFE  6 років тому

      I have never tested...I do have plans to give the top a coating with TotalBoat marine varnish though just to be super safe down the road. But my desk is coated with Rubio and I don't use coasters and it is still flawless.

    @howardhagadorn9443 6 років тому

    You paid a fortune for a domino so you wouldn't have to pay big bucks for a vanity. Sounds like false economy to me. But all in all, nice job, nice design. And being able to deal with those little out of square type of situations is what makes the difference between a woodworker and a hack

    • @WoodWorkLIFE
      @WoodWorkLIFE  6 років тому

      You think this is the only time I've ever used the domino? It has paid for itself 10x over and then some on commissions. If you are a woodworker trying to make money in the craft, it's dumb NOT to have one. For a hobbyist, it's a luxury.
