Excellent work on the vanity! Keep up the great work!

What a great new look. You made the whole process look like easier than I would have thought it to be. The color and the shiplap wall make it look like a totally new room. Well done.

Yeah not hard at all. Just have to take it one step at a time!

Nice! the only thing I would have done differently is add a notched out drawer instead of the false front, I've seen some vanities do that and I honestly think it's worth the extra effort, you can section off the drawer into two side compartments and one middle one on the inside to make it slightly less awkward, might as well for more storage space imo

What a great transformation! The new vanity looks wonderful and thanks for the tips too.......great job!

Wow, that's the best makeover I've found thus far. Exceptional work. Thanks for sharing.

You make this look easy …..vanity came out beautiful 🤩

Fantastic workmanship and presentation. I am currently working on a project that is almost exactly like the one you have presented here. You have inspired me to give that concrete countertop a whirl. Fantastic!

Awesome results, very inspiring! Simple tools with excellent results! Thank you

Nice work. I make my doors on the table saw, but I’m definitely going to buy a set of those router bits. Also, forget those negative comments. Your update looks great!

Thanks Patrick! I've done doors on the table saw for years and I like that method but it's slow when you have many to make at once. I definitely recommend the router in that case.

I absolutely love this channel. Extremely straight forward. You make it look and sound effortless with your explanations. Thanks for the great content! I learn a lot from your style.

Like the new look. 👍 Thanks for sharing the video and the tips. Very helpful.

Great Video. Really enjoying the channel. I always see use the router table for these which is great. Would be cool to see you make one of the faceplates using the table saw as you stated was possible. you using what appears to be a custom router table as well. I went to your tools page and lists all the pieces ( fyi..some not made anymore) but it seems to be missing the actual table? i am newbie to this so maybe i am missing how they all come together to make it. thanks for the great content !

Was the orange-peel texture on your doors/drawers purposeful or was the paint not thinned properly for your sprayer/tip size? P.S. I like the final look overall.

Due probably to spraying too close to the work piece. I do that sometimes.

Unbelievable makeover

The round sink basin is now on the wall as a round mirror and the square mirror is now a square sink basin. Pretty amazing change.

Great work!

Great job! I wonder what the total cost was? Thanks

Nice work !

Excellent video. I'm just about to redo our bath vanity because my grandson poured water in the cabinet and swelled it all up. Oddly enough, I never did swell up his butt for doing that...I guess I was thinking about all the new wood working tools I was going to have to get to build another one. This will be my first wood project ever.

Nice Job!! Congrats! where i can find thats handles? thanks

I like it. How did you handle the grain when you painted the cabinet frame? It looks like oak so is probably grainier that the maple. Is grainier a word?

@MWAWoodworks

3 жыл бұрын

The fronts are all maple so no issues. The face frame was oak but I designed the cabinet fronts so there's basically no way to see the face frame unless you open a drawer. I didn't worry about filling the grain of the face frame. The dark colored paint and the relatively low light of a bathroom makes it so you can't really see any grain detail unless you shine a light directly into it

@ginoasci2876

grainier can be used if you rub the oak with sone wheat, or oatmeal, or rye bread. no problem

I got tired just watching all this work that you did. Came to the conclusion that spending $1k on a prefab and preassembled vanity 5/6ft-wide with quartz countertop and undermount sink, delivered to my home, is indeed a great deal. Also, I've noticed the gaps between the countertop and the walls... Although you sealed with silicone caulk the bottom of the sink, water is smart and will find these gaps in its eternal race to the bottom. That's the obvious reason for the back and side splashes in the old counter. Hopefully, this is a bath that doesn't see much use. It looks great - pretty and trendy. Good job and good video!

very nice

wooden vanity is good for water or not

Nice job. Lots of haters on the look but haters gonna hate. FYI Concrete doesn't need air circulation to cure. One thing I might have done different on the shiplap is nail it where the next board covers it but maybe that wasn't possible with the product you used. These projects are so satisfying, hopefully I get the time to do mine soon.

@MWAWoodworks

This particular concrete mix requires demolding after 1-2 days and allowing to finish curing outside of the mold. The issue you can run into with nailing shiplap at the tongue is that the pine boards split really easily there. Plus the nail marks are part of the rustic feel of shiplap.

Nice! Did you paint the face frame in place?If so, did you spray that as well?

I don’t I just moved and the cabinets are nice and solid wood but someone painted the front of the cabinets and they did not know what they were doing so we have to pay someone to replace the cabinets, I don’t want to replace them, my husband doesn’t not know how to do this kind of work so I thought maybe it’ll be cheaper to pay someone to reface them instead of replacing the whole thing ??? Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ what it’s the most economic way to fix the problem if we have to hire someone to help us with this issue ?

Looks fantastic, but those nail holes would bother me

the shop is great, you’re great, i love your tools, the workmanship is great, the cabinets are great, the only thing i personally have something against are the pocket holes. even thought they are very handy, there’s something about that joinery method that rubs me the wrong way. i think i convinced myself that it’s cheesy joinery, and it’s going to come apart at some point. anyway, it all looks great, nice job. i wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t do woodworking, it’s the only thing we should be doing. why would you want to be anything else lololol have a cousin that’s a CPA…..how gross is that. paperwork and numbers all day. you can’t use a jointer, or a table saw, or a router. Jesus Christ knew where it was at !

part about the air bubbles seemed transparent to me

So what's the HUGE mistake with the bathroom vanity you tease out in the title? Still, it's a damn fine vanity you built despite a confusing title.

It looked better before...shame

Your original bath was awesome. Now you have what MOST would love. Sad indeed. But the worst thing is that stupid sink. It is as ugly as a "boar" hog, IMHO. Others will love it. To each own. Finally, I believe that some time in the future, soon or later, somebody is going to tear that sink loaded "modern ugly" bathroom and bring it back the way it was. And they will say, "Who in the pluperfect hallelujah put that beast in there; huh? Betcha a steak dinner. Time will tell. Again, "To each his own".

Yes, trends come and go. You can wait out the cycle, as I did with my white kitchen cabinets installed in the mid 90's, that were the laugh of town 15 year ago and now are hot again, OR... if you have the money (or simply the energy and will, as shown in this video), you may choose to keep up with the ever-changing design trends, in order to have a house you're always proud to show. It's just a personal choice. But to say that the original bath was "awesome"... yes, it was - back in the 1980's.
