hahaha, I'm not sure I got he balls to make a sink. Ken

Proud of you, good job on finishing your project!

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks. That spalting in the oak is amazing. Imagine my buddy gave me 40 pieces for $80 because he was gonna burn it. Ken

Nice job!

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
