Hey Joey Enjoyed your video, I’m about to install an undermount sink into 40mm cedar, thanks for the tips and tricks. I would love to see this process (installing an undermount sink) as a video on its own. Thanks
They have got to be the most advanced drawer runners I've ever seen, it looked like a transformer was hiding in there. Beautiful unit, it will look amazing installed, and kudos for the motion detection on the lights, totally stealing that idea from you!
Looks awesome mate, funny seeing you working through the instructions. I did a job with these runners once and was racking my brain trying to figure them out too. For your wide drawer they make an anti racking device called a synchronisation kit that stops it engaging one side and not the other. I highly recommend it. I used it on my entertainment unit for my 950mm drawer and it works great
Wow that looks amazing Joey!! Your new home is gonna look awesome!! Your even inspiring me to build something nice out of wood for my new home!! Great stuff mate!!
I am late to view this -- but "wow!", it is beautiful. A question if you have time ..... I have two pieces of solid mahogany 1"x36"x36" (table top) that I am want to use to make something similar . Would you recommend cutting it into 3"x28" strips and glueing them together .. OR .. using the a 1" thick sheet as the top (is it strong enough?) ... OR ... gluing the 2 sheets together to make a sheet 2" thick? Since the vanity would be 28"20" it would not use the entire sheets so the mahogany left over would be for a 'front' to hide the pipes and a drawer fronts. Thoughts?
Never heard of you until I watched this and your coffee bar vid. Really beautiful work and engaging videos. I clicked SUBSCRIBE and I'm looking forward to your stuff.
Probably my favorite piece you've made! I hope you've gotten some Florida rain ;) I keep on having to remind myself that you're in New Zealand and are in Autumn. Thus the jackets. I hope y'all've been well! Love from Florida!
Hello Joey (My mentor), Would you kindly be able to share details of your LED Light fixture set (Brand, Model, etc), and the Push / Soft closure that you used on this Vanity. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, Jerry
Hi Drawers are by Blum called TipOn with Blumotion I buy direct from the Blum warehouse. LED's are from a local supplier called Access group . they have a good online store.
Thank you so much ! I really appreciate you taking your time to respond, despite of your busy schedule. Really enjoyed your work, and I'm a big fan of your work. Sincerely, Jerry from Tokyo Japan. P.S. If you ever have a chance to travel to Tokyo, Japan, be sure to look me up. I'll be delighted to have you stay in one of our AirBnB units which is located in central Tokyo for absolutely Free of cost.
i like the motion sensor...i haven't seen one with a sensor before...but its an awesome feature. especially at night when you need to go to the bathroom...soft lighting rather than turning on the ceiling light.
Bit of a long post from me on this video - as usual loving the quality of your work and wishing you were in the UK ! I'd be asking you if you could help me some pieces or to train me :) Can't help but thinking when I saw you cut the wood for the drawer fronts that if I tried that I'd end up going askew and probably cutting my own hands off - likewise when you drilled the holes to screw stuff into I'd end up getting them askew so the screws would never sit flush with the metal bracket *sigh* ! I'd like to ask a quick question about the drawers if you don't mind please ? I've put together some stuff from Ikea and the problem I have is that the drawer fronts are askew but I can't work out how to fix this - did you have this problem on yours and do you know how to go about fixing it please ? Is it the runners that are not straight or the front of the drawer which is the problem ? (or is it both) ? A few points I'd like to raise on how I would do things slightly different - please don't take this as criticism - this vanity unit is yours and you use it how you see fit - for my purposes they'd be a couple of things I'd change. 1) The front of the vanity unit that you've screwed into place which hides where the waste pipe is - I'd be tempted to make that into a hinge, so it can hinge upwards - that way you can put something a bit taller into there without having to turn it sideways and more importantly if it ever came to having to unblock the pipe etc then it would mean easier access without having to unscrew anything 2) The lighting is gorgeous but for me I'd be using it in a darkened room (e.g. in the middle of the night when I didn't want to switch on the room light) and the way that the light is situated means that depending on how deep the drawers are, there might not be enough light to actually "reach" into the drawers to see clearly what's in there 3) Given your God mode ability in wood work I was shocked to see you use screws and ply ! :) I totally get it's not visible etc and real world issues like cost and time get in the way, so as I said previously I'm not having a go ! 4) I love the floating idea of this unit using the side metal brackets - not trying to teach Grandma how to suck eggs (A UK saying), but given how narrow that area is how will you be securing it to make sure the unit can't be unwittingly pulled away from the wall ? (e.g. if someone is using it to hold onto while getting out of the bath and slips - the whole unit might come away from the wall) 5) Not sure if the taps will be wall mounted etc but a gentle reminder to allow for them (sorry - don't mean to teach Grandma how to suck eggs - I know you're building an entire house so probably have this in hand already) :) 6) It's interesting to see how the sink is mounted and how this looks from the "right side" (i.e. from where it will be used and visible) and also to see the different styles in play. I appreciate you've used glue to hold it in place and again it's your vanity unit, but for me I'd be tempted to build a lip where the sink would slot into as then you wouldn't be relying on using glue to hold the sink in place - but gravity too - but I totally appreciate the resulting finish wouldn't look as good as yours currently does Thanks for reading and apologies in advance if I've annoyed anyone ;)
+edwardquan hi, I'll try answer everything so answers may seem abrupt. (Not annoyed) Draw fronts should have adjustment screws where it attaches to the runner. I'll be able to access plumbing by removing the large drawer. Ply is indeed cheap and in this case waterproof. Vanity will be screwed to wall on the right end and onto the steel bracket on the left. You can see it in place on my vid house build 6 Under mount sinks are usually installed this way.
Joey, love the video and your project. I've been on the hunt for 3 months for green glue applicator. Is it something you made or can I buy it? Thanks Joe
The company you brought the LED lights from. Could you tell me or there is a conflict in telling? Ok..didnt read the other posts. Good work....I have the same idea for my future house....Thanks....now I have a better idea.
If you hit these draws with you leg when brushing teeth ( or the child ) the draw will open?.The draw under the sink maybe a cover in it so when you close it , it will cover the pipe . This so you dont put things on that spot in the draw hitting the pipe ( i've had to fix myn millions of times..😓
+xander witt yea the idea with these drawers is you can open them with your knee when your hands a full like in a kitchen. Yes that spot where the pipe goes will be annoying
I like the idea that it's fully floating and highlighting that with the LEDs. But some of the construction and finishing details, like the exposed plywood edges when you open a drawer, just makes me cringe.
Very cool looking Vanity. Got 4 planners up and running now. Lots of fun hand planning. Look foward to seeing more progress on the house. Peter O
Another great one, Joey. Thanks for sharing. Love the commentary as well.
Hey Joey

Thanks
Es ist immer wieder schön Deine Videos zu sehen und mit welcher Leidenschaft und in meinen Augen Präzision Du arbeitest.
Wow Joey super impressed with that long sdt. I gave up on them and only do tapered now. One day I'll own a set of those planes.
yea true, i wouldn't try these with out these planes now, they make it sooo easy
Great design! Love the LED. Thanks for sharing.
"I hope you enjoy." You always say this. FYI: I'm always going to enjoy your videos. Dude, you rock.
+Ryk Haviland thanks!
They have got to be the most advanced drawer runners I've ever seen, it looked like a transformer was hiding in there. Beautiful unit, it will look amazing installed, and kudos for the motion detection on the lights, totally stealing that idea from you!
+Mario Cappellano cheers , yea they are some fancy drawers alright
Great detail on this piece. I really like the addition of the LEDs.
Great video, Great Vanity.
Absolutely beautiful well done
Futuristic ...and with beautiful textures .
Another great project and video! thanks for sharing
awesome project.. congrats
Great piece of work.
Love the night-lite aspect of the LEDs, nothing worse than the blinding lights of a midnight visit to the bathroom.
yea thats what i was thinking should be fun for my wee boy too!
Again, a great job my friend.

Wow that looks amazing Joey!! Your new home is gonna look awesome!! Your even inspiring me to build something nice out of wood for my new home!! Great stuff mate!!
oh cool! cheers

+Steven Rochon oh cool cheers
Pretty wicked!!! Only issue I think is that it looks like you have to slam on those doors to get the soft close mechanism to work.
yip, my drawers are too small and light weight for these runners really. they would be great in a kitchen.
Nice work!
Probably my favorite piece you've made! I hope you've gotten some Florida rain ;) I keep on having to remind myself that you're in New Zealand and are in Autumn. Thus the jackets.
I hope y'all've been well! Love from Florida!
+Marshall Emmett hi, cheers! Not too much rain at the moment. Yea it's getting a bit chilly now
what kind of epoxy was used in the top?
It beautiful were did u get the lLEDs m putting some in crown moulding and could use the extra.
That looks really cool!
I liked watching this video!
i like the led behind the vanity, but you should light all the drawers in the inside too! ;) maybe to take may advice! great job!
was going to do this , but had issues running cables etc
You will find some battery led drawer lights online, cable free! Your wife will be happy! 😉 good work.
nice, that. gonna look spiffy in the house
Came out very nice. What's the name of the draw hardware you used?
Nice built!
What software are you using in the beginning of the video? Sorry I couldn’t understand what you said the name was
Can you provide a link for the drawer kits that you used here?

Any chance you can post a link to that led kit?
Thanks for the response re SketchUp. Also, love your glue applicator but I haven't been able to locate...could you assist?
i like the motion sensor...i haven't seen one with a sensor before...but its an awesome feature. especially at night when you need to go to the bathroom...soft lighting rather than turning on the ceiling light.
If the electricity goes off will it still float?
Cara sou brasileiro e sou fan do teu trabalho! Parabéns.
What software do you use for the design? Can you export the files to cnc machine?
what tools have you used for doing dovetail joinery? thanks!
HI, I have side rebate planes with an angled dovetail fence from HNT Gordon
Thanks, i will google them!
Really terrific! Curious what the "sketching" program is you use? Thanks, Joe
+Joe Melvin cheers it's sketchUp
where did you get the drawer hardware?
i order direct from Blum here in Auckland
Hello king,congratulations for your work,,so I have a question,please how many time you have to do for this furniture?
+Augusto Cesar de Assis this was about 4 days
Thank you very much for your answers
Those Legraboxes with the push to open feature always need kind of a hard push
excepcional trabalho,parabens.im fron brazil.
Lovely jubbly
Какая фурнитура ???
That LED kit looks awesome, where'd you buy it?

Ah got you ! Thanks for the info and the background ! Love the workmanship and keep up the good work !
Joey, love the video and your project. I've been on the hunt for 3 months for green glue applicator. Is it something you made or can I buy it? Thanks Joe
+Joe Melvin access group here in nz have them as ' new old stock' so you won't find them on there website. Ask them directly I think they will help
KingPost TimberWorks Many thanks...I'll give them a try. Love your videos, much more your work!
good job bro 😉
que programa de diseño udad?
Su dibujo
The company you brought the LED lights from. Could you tell me or there is a conflict in telling? Ok..didnt read the other posts.
Good work....I have the same idea for my future house....Thanks....now I have a better idea.
P.S.
Vanity looks Beautiful !!
Exactly what I need a 24' ' floating vanity. My bath is too small. Thanks
Very Nice, I take it you didn't have any problems or disagreements with the client :D :D :D
haha not really
What computer software are you using?
+leonel1186 sketchup
! - Wowzers - !
If you hit these draws with you leg when brushing teeth ( or the child ) the draw will open?.The draw under the sink maybe a cover in it so when you close it , it will cover the pipe . This so you dont put things on that spot in the draw hitting the pipe ( i've had to fix myn millions of times..😓
+xander witt yea the idea with these drawers is you can open them with your knee when your hands a full like in a kitchen. Yes that spot where the pipe goes will be annoying
KingPost TimberWorks a simple cover like U form can help to show people in the house not to put anything there;) . Love the design you made.
GRAN TRABAJO
1,000th like!...there should be more.
+ps3shakes123 cool cheers !
Can you make me one?
Beautiful, no pop up on that drain.
hi , no we have had few of those and decided not to use them in the house.
Great!
I like the idea that it's fully floating and highlighting that with the LEDs. But some of the construction and finishing details, like the exposed plywood edges when you open a drawer, just makes me cringe.
Great job mate.
Yessssssss........
