Thread: Wall hung bathroom vanity - WIP

Vernon,

Seems fairly close to a vanity I built recently. Mine was in Sydney blue gum, had four drawers and a centre cupboard and a top of black granite. The two bottom drawers were exactly as you decribe, tall enough to take the largest bottle.
One thing to watch in a bathroom is the position of power points. My vanity sits between the bath and the shower and the electrician said the problem was he could not fit a plug to the wall for hair drier etc. We solved that problem by putting a plug on a flexible lead in the back of the drawer and left the hair drier and curling wand permantly plugged in,
I'll be watching progress with interest.

Here is the latest progress.

Pic 1. The completed (but not sanded/finished) WRC cabinet carcass.

Pic 2. One of the three drawers, currently without a bottom. It's been made from coachwood, that has had some borer attack (the timber has since been treated). This is my first go at hand cut dovetails, but I think it's actually coming along quite nicely. The coachwood is great timber to work with.

Here are some more progress pics. I've fitted the drawers and their front panels. I made the drawer fronts to fit the opening, screwed them to the drawer and the planed a gap.

The drawer runners are the "push to open" type and so the drawers won't have any handles. I had a problem with one of the drawer runners I got from Elraco (it was broken), but Ray (from Elraco) has promised me a replacement (great service).

Here are some pics of the freshly poly'ed drawer and carcass.

Looking good so far.

Really like this idea.

OK, it's all done (except for the replacement runner and final plumbing).

Pic 1. Showing the hand cut dovetails. Not bad for my first go (after some practise) .

Pic 2. Finished cabinet.

Pic 3. Cutting the basin hole in the stone benchtop. I made a template and clamped it to the top.

Pic 4. With the hose running I started drilling - at a very slow speed.

Pic 5. After a while I removed the template and let the drill centre on the circle it had already cut.

Pic 6. The finished hole - took less than 10 minute I think.

Pic 7. The vanity hung with the top and basin. It it held up with 6 x 75mm batten screws, screwed into studs.

Very nice. A well done job. Love the safety shoes

Nice cabinet.

My eyes aren't the best this morning is that Well hung or Wall hung?

Nice cabinet.
