The first half of the th-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
Although I'm not young(50) I've recently gotten very interested in woodworking and am starting to make a few modest items, I just wanted to say
I find your videos very informative and enjoyable viewing, so thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and techniques, it's much appreciated.
Cheers
Tony
Thank you Tony, I appreciate the comment and I'm glad you like the videos
Love to watch you work and your explanations of what you are doing. Thanks for posting.
Thank you
Looking great! I've just got an apprenticeship as a joiner and shop fitter, watching this makes me excited to start!
Thanks
I started watching your videos last. I find them quite enjoyable and replete with information. I also like the fact you use basic carpentry tools and make your own jigs. No need to buy expensive tools and accessories. I am definitely going to take a crack at your bathroom vanity. I have been doing this for a while but your videos will help me refine my work. I do it for myself and my home but I still want it to look nice.
Keep up the good work and i am looking forward to checking all your videos.
Thank you Corlos
Mr Peters, thanks for creating your videos. You're an artist and create some very nice work. I have learned a ton from your presentations.
I love your work and the way you put your videos together. Not only do they flow well, they're right to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for these videos, It looks like this took a huge amount of work even with all the tools you have. Building a kitchen must be a massive job then.
Thanks
Nice work Jon, you do great work without having allot of high end tools like allot of other videos.
Thanks Mike
Wow. Detailed and knowledgeable. Thanks for being here.
Wooow that's what I want in my bathroom, I have been learning a lot with you and I just have been watching only three videos! Beautiful work! Thanks a lot!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Classy looking vanity so far Jon. Eager to see the finish. I like the chamfer instead of the 3/8 inch round over bit. More character without overdoing it. Happy Fathers Day. All the best. Bob
Thanks Bob, Happy Fathers day to you also
Great video Jon. I love all the trim work you do and the great video angles
Thank you Andrew
Great project and more good hints. It sounds counter intuitive to sand across the grain, but you are exactly correct in that it helps to level out edge joined boards. I appreciate you and all the other "you tubers" that provide such excellent content. Happy Fathers day Jon.
Thanks for the comment Gary, and a happy Fathers day to you
It's turning out Great Jon. I like it a lot! Good work man.
Happy Father's Day
Thanks man, you to
great job Jon , I learned a lot, hope you more tutorials?
Thanks Jon I have been enjoying this build series.
Thanks Nick
Great job John!!I have learned so much from you!!Thank you for doing what you do!!The vanity is looking great!!I'm curious on why you didn't use the router on to the top of the counter aswell ,but I'm sure you've got something up your sleeve,thx again!!
Thanks Able , I'll talk about on Tuesday
Great job Jon, thanks for sharing your experinces learning a lot from you.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment
Great video Jon. My woodworking teacher at school always told me that the only thing I was good at making was sawdust ........... and he was right! I sucked. But at least I knew that I sucked. However, your videos Jon give me the confidence to tackle projects like this and at least my piles of sawdust now have something worthwhile to show for my effort. Keep up the good work buddy.
+Al Dunlop Thanks Al....keep at it.
Hi Jon. Glad I found your channel. I love watching woodworking. We are repurposing an old vanity and putting on a timber top and bowl sink. We aren't sure how to attach the top to the base. Did you do a video on this please.
Jon, I really like the way the shop is looking. I watched the 10 Jan 2014 video again and compared the back ground of that video with this current video. Maybe it is just your camera angles, but shop sure seems neater and more professional.
Oh, I am really enjoying the bathroom vanity build... looking forward to the video about applying the finish.
Thanks Scott, yeah big change in the shop, hope to do some work on it in a few weeks.
Beautiful.....as always!
I just came across your videos: AWESOME! :) . I can't seem to find a video on you doing the finishing work on the top of the vanity? Is that video up? Thanks Jon!
Looking forward to seeing the finish on that. Very nice
Thanks Jason
Looking great. Cant wait to see the finish.
Thanks Rodney, Appreciate the comment
great video - thanks for posting
***** looking good! Can't wait to see it all done. Happy Fathers Day Jon.
Thanks Adam, you to man
Hey Jon, thanks for everything you do. I'll be building a bathroom vanity for our downstairs bathroom soon. If you were building the vanity for your home, would you do some kind of floor frame first and maybe put the cabinet on top once built or not? Just curious, due to an unlevel floor. Thanks again. Earl from Tennessee
Great video & very helpful. Thanks
Love the video. Going to make one myself.
Hi John
I like all the work u do n how u explain how to do it .Im really glad Im a subscriber keep up the good work my friend .Thank you
thanks Jon, I really enjoy watching your videos, they give me great ideas as to how I would like to finish my own home.
I do however have a question, why use the palm sander for the finer grits rather than the orbital sander? It was my understanding that the orbital sander does not leave any pattern marks thus making it more suitable for the final grits.
thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
Good question I’ll talk about that on Tuesday
Looking great. I'm watching keenly as I need to start renovating our bathroom. Thanks for all the hints & tips.
Thanks
Jon I really like all ur videos great job keep it up
Love your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Debbie
Thanks for video!
Love watching your video man keep up the good work
Thanks
Приятно смотреть на Вашу работу. Удачи!
Thank you
where's part 2?
He didn't make one; instead, he mentioned it in other videos, vlog style. If anyone is looking for this in the future, he just went with 3 coats of poly.
I use some carbon paper...(the kind typists use to make carbon copies)... Tape the template down then slide the paper under and trace out the contour. Leaves a visible marking of the outline
I missed the part where you fix the sink on the top of the vanity , what kind of glue did you use?
Hi Jon, I meant to ask this question earlier... Do you always join with a biscuit joiner? I notice you use that a lot? Thanks, Earl from Tennessee
Hi Jon - great video as always :-) I was looking for the finishing video too. I think many of us have bathrooms that need a facelift - you make me wonder why I've been putting it off - you make it look so easy.
Thanks man Finished Bathroom Vanity & a close look at this old Kreg Jig.
***** Don't you hate that - that's what my wife calls "having a boy look" - probably why I seem to "lose" my tools in the shop. Cheers.
: )
awesome video dude keep doing them!
Thanks Man
Jon, is there a video of this finished product? can't seem to find the next one in the series.
Wow! that's great.
Thanks Carlos
Really good thank You for You vídeos
Thanks Marco
I wanna have studio n stuff like yours...
Hey Jon, looks great! Did you ever upload that video about finishing the wooden vanity top? If not, which finish do you prefer--I'm refinishing a wooden vanity top myself. Thanks again!
Thanks Eric, I have a few videos on my channel , for counter and vanity tops I like oil base poly
Jon Peters Art & Home
I was searching his video list for it as well.
What kind of wood should I use in the bathroom I'm asking because wood can be damage in the water or moisture
Jon, i was looking this video because im doing a wooden the countertop for my kitchen, and i was specting your advice on what product did you use to prevent the moisture problem??. great video by the way! cheers from venezuela. can you help me with my doubt??
+Francisco Schutte a light epoxy finish is about the only thing you are going to be able to use but know that you will end up with a high gloss finish, which I personally am not a fan of. I love woodworking but have always avoided wooden countertops for this reason. They look gorgeous when first finished but are subject to cracking, separating, and getting dinged up unless they are maintained very well, i.e. no kids.
your tops are really good. can u make a detailed video about polishing and finishing please. if u have one i would be really happy if u share the link under my comment pls.
Hello Jon. Of what types of wood worktop made?
looks great if i could i would of used oak on top
شكراً لك من السعودية 👍
Is this 48"? Can I buy this from you?? It's exactly what I need, like yesterday! Your work is amazing!
Not building from scratch but repairing vanity. What type of glue do you recommend to attach boards?
What finish will you use to protect the wood from water ??
looks like the same way I made my laundry room vanity same shape, but its a built-in style about a year ago,
Ansioso para ver o final, muito bom professor!
Gracias a mi amigo
lookin fab :)
Thanks
What bit did you use in the router ?
Nice Vanity design Jon, I noticed after you glued it up you threw sawdust on the top, does that help clean up the squeeze out?
Thanks Bruce, yes it does get the heavy stuff off and than I use a wet rag to get the rest.
Thanks for the info I am going to try that on my next glue up
Jon -- I'm wondering why you ripped 4" and reattached the front piece on the left, instead of just using a jigsaw or something. It just seems like a lot of extra work to me to go through another set of biscuits, etc. Is there some advantage that I'm missing with your approach? Nice job and love the vids.
شغل جميل جدا جدا
very good
Thanks
ciao John davvero molto bello complimenti per l'idea e la realizzazione posso trovare il progetto ? anche se la differenza del sistema metrico è diversa, ciao grazie
Is there a part two showing your finish choice?
isso sim é qualidade, parabéns...
brasil
This time I'll use wood prix instructions to make it by myself.
Amazing option to me. Thanks for that comment
Thank you Keli
Are those baby wipes for glue clean up?! Mind blown
What size boards did you glue and Biscuit up
I went into this guys extensive list of videos looking for the follow up to this to have an idea how to make a wooden bathroom counter hold up to the wet environment to no end. The next video is about bees for some reason. Anyone know if sealing the counter with epoxy resin and finishing with a marine grade varnish would work?
nice.
cool...
Thanks
i relly like all u projekts than u
*****s. What are your reasons for sanding to your final grits on the palm sander? Was under the assumption that the "randomness" of the random orbit sander was desired for finishing.
Good
nice
Thanks
Hey Jon. Great job. Where can I find the sequence of this vanity cabinet? Thanks.
Thanks , This is the play list Tools & Tips for Tuesday #2, Why I never stain Cherry.
As always - enjoyed watching this latest video. I did however, shudder in horror while watching you crosscut the second end of the countertop on your tablesaw. It should be pointed out to your audience (those with less experience) how dangerous and lethal it can be to trap a long (and narrow) piece of wood between the blade and the fence. It would have been much safer to use your track saw setup for both ends since you don't have a sliding table saw.

what finish
IS there a video where Jon finally tells what he uses to finish this top with?
I think I used oil based poly , water lox is a good choice too
Hi Jon, could you please give me the name of the music you had played during jigsaw cut for the sink. Thanks.
hello jon, im from indonesia,im like for you cambinet
Use a potato to clean the glue residues: cut it in a 90° angle and pass it through the corner.
I love your videos. I wish you'd wear ear protection.
Why not just build the right side the same depth?
im want to student ,may?
Great info and you are knowledgeable for sure. Jon check your audio though. It is very echo-y and that makes it difficult to hear. Maybe a lavalier mic (I don't see you using one) Just an idea
I know this video is years old, but I'm hoping you can answer, what do you finish the top with so that it doesn't get ruined by the years of kids splashing as they wash their hands and brushing teeth and all that?
+Glen Richards oil based polyurethane
Jon Peters Art & Home that's all? That seems too simple? Thank you!! I really appreciate your response and your videos!

+เมือง หลอย my brother recommended *TopFineWoodworking .Com* for the best woodworking plans and I couldnt agree more after getting it. Tons of amazing plans for sheds in there
================================================================
Great to see that woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
I need Facebook
Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.
Or you could buy it for a $100 bucks from lowes.
