This makes the third medicine cabinet I've made. I might even make another if my wife has anything to say about it. But I'd be happy  to do it.
I used satin stainless steel handles on it from Lee Valley's.
I contoured the doors frames with a Classic Ogee profile.
Center panels have beading. 

French cleated to the wall.

Underneath I placed a push light.

Boy! Has this become real handy! Nice for those middle of the night bathroom visits. No bright lights.. just a little soft night light.

Here's a view inside the cabinet. I used European hinges. Again from Lee Valley. The shelves are adjustable.

Cheers!

Nicely Done!

 

We had Bath Fitter redo our 1953 bathroom tube/shower but Mimi wanted more than flakeboard cabinetry offered by the Borgs. This was the medicine cabinet I made from solid red oak. There was also a matching sink base unit.

I had request, from a neighbor, for a "primitive" medicine cabinet

Primitive is an understatement!

Thanks lew! Your oak cabinet is nice. Almost too nice for the bathroom. The primitive medicine cabinet is a hoot! Lol.

Cheers! 

Nice work.  Took mine out years ago when kids came along. Might make new one and put back.

Nice to be able to customize for individual spaces! I think that's one of the great justifications for a roomful of $$ tools...right?!? 😉

Thanks Gunny. Sure is better for us instead of seeing vitamin and medicine bottles all over the countertop. Also safer having them unseen and put away when the grandkids are over.

Yep Barb! You're right. I'm always looking for an excuse to buy new and better tools! 🙂

I remember shopping for a toilet paper holder as one of ours needed to be replaced. I looked at options at a big box store and selected a wooden one...and then was struck by the reality that as a woodworker, paying for this was ridiculous (think it was about $10). So I went home, grabbed some "scrap" wood (better known as small cutoffs to be saved for future use) and proceeded to use about every tool in my shop - tablesaw, bandsaw, router table, etc. Joked that to save $10 I only needed a couple thousand dollars of equipment. 🤷‍♀️ 

 

Anyway, sticking to the lie...I mean idea...that being a woodworker is a cost saving situation.🤣🤣🤣

Hey... next time do it with all hand tools. Then there's no guilt. Unless of course the hand tools cost a fortune! LOL!

Love the idea.  The handles are the same we picked for the new house. Son's bathroom is small and I have to make one for him.

 

@lew your neighbors design looks more like the little house out back.
