Popular Post John Morris Posted June 23, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Walnut vanity is coming along today. This will go into our quarter bath. The slides are self closing Blu Motion. Base coat of Watco Teak oil followed up with General Finishes Gel Top Coat. Two more coats to go with a 320 grit sanding between coats. My family loves it. I do too! It will be free standing, or floating about 8" above the floor secured in a corner. Dadio, Nickp, Gerald and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drawer faces are cut from the same boards Lew, so the grain will wrap around too, should look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woulda done the whole base in walnut, but why, the one side is a wall side, the only exposed side is the walnut side. Plus we got drawers, nobody will even see the inside of the cabinet.

John Morris Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I am going to secure the floating cabinet to the wall studs, mount the sink top, and plumb it so it's useful for the family. Then I'll make the drawers, since they are drawers, I wasn't sure how the boxes were going to fit around the plumbing without installing the base first and plumbing it. Just thinking about making the drawers without seeing the plumbing in first, made my brain hurt. I'll be able to pull some accurate measurements for the drawers once it's plumbed.

John Morris Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Progress shots, installed, secured, just gotta pull my temp supports (paint cans) out. LOML and I heading back to the store now to pick up a 4" on center faucet, the faucet we originally picked out was 6" on center. The holes are pre drilled at 4" oc.

It should float The dang thing is built like a tank. And screwed to studs. I'll let y'all know in a year if it starts pulling away.

He weighs about 90 lbs. I told the kids not to in the future, but this was just a test, and only a test. I got that cabinet screwed, blued and tattoo'd to that wall, if it does start to show signs of pulling away, I can set a leg in the center right and that should take care of it, and I can still keep the floating look about it.

You know I typically build casework all around as if every angle is exposed, whether it is or not, I build it finished out, in, under and inside out, I can be too much of a perfectionist much of the time. Stick, I really had to struggle to make that statement, "Nobody will see it". That went against my grain. But what you all don't know about this simple project, it changed designs three times during the build, I done had it, and it had to get done.
