I am making a vanity (60" wide) for my hall bathroom (more detail to follow in another post). Help me select the drawer board layout. I have three QSWO boards and assume all three boards are suitable to use (which may not be the case) and will yield 3/4" x 8" x 27" drawer fronts. The vertical stiles are 7/8"thick x 2" wide. The horizonal rails are 3/4" thick x 1-1/2" wide. Option #1 uses two boards and option #2 uses three boards. Which option would you choose? Is the other option wrong to use? Danl

I have not posted recently but am happy to say that the master bath remodel is complete. This is one of the few home projects that I sat on the side-lines and watched the professionals. If you want to see the build pics, look here. Thanks for looking. Danl

My wife and I are planning to remodel our master bathroom in spring 2025. I completed the building of a new vanity for this room remodel. We wanted to use material we had left over from the Mission bedroom set. I only had to purchase three drawer pulls, the ply material for the case, and a can of stain, which I used for a finish sample only. I made four finish samples which my wife could choice from. The drawer slides were sent to me by mistake, and they did not need to be returned. The vanity case is made from ½” and ¾” thick UV birch plywood and the drawers from poplar wood. A good friend loaned me his vacuum press system which I used to help adhere the shop made 1/8” thick veneer pieces to one side panel. QSWO was used for the case front frame and the drawer fronts. Each drawer has dovetail joinery, and each drawer is sized to go around the sink plumbing. The side vertical pieces are 1/8” thick and the front vertical stiles are 1/8” thicker than the front rails to allow for subtle shadow lines. The finish schedule is transtint medium brown dye, shellac, and SW Sher-Wood Kem Aqua plus. I am not certain if this design has a name, but I am calling it Modern Arts & Craft. Thanks for looking.

Well, this has been quite the week for the ol Morris home! I had fully intended on finishing our Walnut Vanity, but we were informed an appraiser was going to come out this Tuesday to value our home for a VA refi. At first I had not thought of it, but it finally struck me, hey, if this guy is coming out to appraise, we should probably have our bathrooms fully functional. While the 1/4 bath downstairs with the Walnut Vanity is fully functional, the kids bathroom upstairs is not, it's still missing a vanity as well. I called the VA appraiser and asked him if the missing vanity would effect the value of our home, he stated maybe not, but the lender would not be too happy to see their investment missing parts of the home. So my wife and spent an hour discussing what she'd like in the kids bathroom, we ho hummed over the HD and Lowes vanity's, too expensive, they ran anywhere from 300 bucks on up, and we are not ready to spend that much right now, school is getting ready to start for our kids in a couple weeks, and we need to get school clothes still. So we talked about what she wanted, she wanted a white cabinet, and she liked the simplicity of shaker that I have been introducing into our home lately. So I told her, we can build a cabinet and paint it white! She loved it. So we got into high gear and I ran out yesterday and grabbed a stack of poplar from the lumber dealer, and came home and drew something up to get approval by my wife. Just a simple shaker cabinet, with the drawer proportions to be worked out still, she is deciding what she is going to put in the drawers. After I drew it up, and got approval from LOML, I started to cutting and joining the poplar boards to make the floor, and sides of the cabinet. I was not too concerned about grain matches etc, the cabinet will be painted on the outside, but I did want some grain symmetry for the floor of the cabinet, as the interior will be natural and varnished. This morning I was able to get the panels glued up and out of the clamps, squared up and cleaned up. They look pretty good. Over this next week, I'll come home from work and put a couple hours a night on the vanity, tomorrow I'll be cutting in the dado's and assembling the floor and sides. I called the appraiser and told him to hold off a week while I get this vanity wrapped up and installed. He agreed. So I have a week to get this wrapped up, painted, and installed, and functioning! Wish me luck!

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.

I was recently contacted about building a Walnut vanity and a Walnut Shelf to fit over a range hood. So so I was sent these two pictures and ask if I could do these. So I got started by gluing up several boards to make the vanity 24" deep and 41 3/4" wide. The boards are 1 1/4" thick and a piece is glued on the front to give it the appearance of being 2 1/2". finish was applied this week and it was picked up today to install. The Shelf is 1 1/2" thick 7" deep and 32" wide. It to was picked up today and installed. So i can now mark this one off the list and move on to the next one in waiting. I love it it when a plan come together.

This is a scanned document of the now defunct Workbench Magazine of this era. Permission was granted by the new Workbench Publication for The Patriot Woodworker community to copy and use the old Workbench Magazine at our pleasure, and for free distribution and re-use. The Three Mirror Vanity is a really cool file/plan. Today, the modern, contemporary, danish modern has made a big comeback. And this project fits right in with what is hip today. It's amazing how good design never dies. Have fun! -
Just got this installed, though getting it finished was a real exercise in patience. The varnish was slow to cure enough for the sanding routine I used. Anyway, it's a plan that was in woodsmith and I made a mirror to match.
