I've updated the plans with a couple corrected dimension. You can redownload the plans from my website here. www.bearmountainbuilds.com/product-page/bathroom-vanity-build-plans
Perfect timing, I literally just found your video while looking for alternatives to the overpriced MDF junk at the box stores. I downloaded your plans and see that it was designed to be 3" taller than "normal". Is there an easy way to convert this back to standard counter height? I'm assuming I would simply deduct 3" from the following parts: Side Panels Dividers Back, front, sides, front center, and verticals of bottom drawers Side and internal verticals of face frame Verticals for doors Height of the second from bottom horizontal drawer frame Finally, it seems as though the heights for the drawer slides is a bit arbitrary as long as appropriate steps are taken to line them up properly on the drawers, is that right?
Soooo….Im in the middle of cutting my plywood sheets from your plans and realized there’s one measurement missing! It’s for the hinged door centers. 5 1/8th by ? I feel like I should be able to figure this out, but….. I’m struggling.
Hi, thank you for the updated plan. I have completed the vanity (not painted yet) it looks awesome. I have one big issue I am not sure how to resolve. I used the door hinges you recommended from the link. however, my doors stick out too far out they are not on the same plane as the rest of the drawers or the fake drawer. I have maxed out all the adjustments. I just can't get the door flush with frame. Any ideas? I zoomed into your build video and they are flush with the frame. Your hinge on the video may be different than the one on the link.... Perhaps the manufacture has changed that model...!!?? Any help or recommendation is much appreciated and welcomed.
Wow, very detailed. I’m 39 yrs. old, loved wood shop in Middle school. I’ve finally acquired all the necessary tools to build this vanity. Just need to clean my garage, practice safety procedures and start building. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
I’ll be building another bathroom vanity and this video has me rethinking my plans as I think I over build mine as I got away from using pocket holes awhile ago for moe labor intensive methods but I wont get away from making my drawers using dovetails…nothing beats opened a drawer to see tight dovetail joinery on them. Nice job and I just bought that Homeright sprayer, it is an AMAZING sprayer for price!
I have watched a lot of carpenter's video, but of all that l have watched you the best you take your time to explain each and every detail thank you watching from Africa Zambia
This was by far the best video I found on how to build a vanity. I just finished renovating a small half bath that would never fit a standard sized vanity. I adapted your plans to build a 37”x16” vanity with two doors and two drawers. As an amateur woodworker I found it a lot easier to attach the stretchers and toe kicks to the sides first, and then attach the base. The toe kicks and stretchers allowed me to square everything up perfectly at the start. I also found it easier to mount the drawer slides, then attach the sides of the drawers to the slides, then I could get a pretty exact measurement for the drawer box front/back (found that idea on an Ana White video). I also found it easier to build and dry-fit the face frame in place once I had the vanity in its final place. I had no margin for error on the size of the face frame because I had a wall on both sides. I then built the doors and drawer fronts after the face frame was in place. Thanks for the awesome video!
I just remodeled the master bathroom and bought a 60 inch vanity of good but not great quality - $2,000. I will renovate the main bathroom with a 72 inch vanity next year. I planned to build it myself and save money and get very good quality. This video is just what I needed. Thanks
So many great techniques for us beginners here, well explained and demo'd. The ban of my wood working is squaring boxes and will look at those box squares immediately. Thank You!
I've went and got all of the material today! Going to start building in a couple minutes, I have to have it done in a week while working a 40 hour week, so I hope all goes well. Thanks for the video and plans!
Great video, great plans, I’m going to keep this idea in my back pocket for now. 2024 prices including hinges, handles, paint and top is just under $700. Not too shabby.
Hi ...this is the best video about making a cabinet. so professional, step by step, clean and exellent , exellent job. congratulations. i've just suscribe .
A lot of people, myself included, love that old blue bath set. My granddaughter just bought the complete blue toilet, tub, and sink from someone who is restoring a bathroom. She is creating a retro bath and so far it looks amazing.
Very high end vanity! I would love to have that in my bathroom. I love the blue too. I’m painting my vanities because they were built very well and would never replace them with the cheap vanities out there. I’m going with various shades of blue also.
Wow, nice, I'm not a carpenter. Just seeing how it made, I thinking of purchasing one from the store for my kid's bathroom but the quality waste good want it to last as long as it can. Keep up the great job.
This was the era of pocket holes for everything on youtube. Great build just amusing that everyone who got sponsored by pocket hole jig companies went a bit crazy with them.
Thank you very much for your generosity in sharing your work and plans. Soon I will have to build this piece of furniture. Kind regards from Tarragona- Spain
Great video and plans. Question the plans say 3- 1x2x8 poplar, is this supposed to be enough for the face frame and drawer fronts? Only seams to be enough for the face frame. Thx
Thank you for making this video! You have a great pace. I’m getting ready to build a vanity and this helped. I also downloaded your plans. Quick question: the hinges you used for the doors aren’t on your materials list. Can you tell me which ones you used? Specifically I’m looking for the overlay measurement. Thanks!
Boy, did I need this! I took out my vanity with the intent to replace the side panel due to water damage. I had so much trouble replacing it so I said to my husband that we need to build one. After watching crazy amount of videos, this is the one that matched my brain! However my vanity will be only 36” wide so I got a little discombobulated with the drawer build. I think if I take it slow with the video and the FREE plans, I’ll be okay. 🥴. Thank you for helping us!
I'm sure you've build one already, but doing just a double door front on your first vanity project is a much simpler project, I did this with a small 30" vanity I made for a friend.
Sorry for the Spanish…. Pero esta es la mejor explicación que pude encontrar para elaborar un Vanity. Muchas felicidades por tu proyecto y muchas Gracias por compartirlo 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video, straight to the point. I downloaded the PDF, and it looks great. Q1) How do you fit all the required panels for 3/4 Inch into one 4x8' sheet? I am assuming a 1/8" kerf width. 5 cuts result in a loss of 0.0625"; I keep coming up short for all possible arrangments. My most optimal arrangement is (4+4+5.25+20.5+34+28=95.75) + 0.625 loss = 96.375 Obviously, I can compensate for the shortage of 0.375. However, I am wondering if I am missing something!? I appreciate your response.
@@BearMountainBuildsHi, thank you for the updated plan. I have completed the vanity (not painted yet) it looks awesome. I have one big issue I am not sure how to resolve. I used the door hinges you recommended from the link. however, my doors stick out too far out they are not on the same plane as the rest of the drawers or the fake drawer.

That is some awesome level of skill you got there bro. I really enjoyed watching the process. Thanks for sharing this video! You just earned a new sub.
In case you didn't notice and to avoid any future issues I seen you stop mid-cut and the saw pulled away from your straight edge @ 1:27 ... keep up the great work! BTW, I have these little WoodPeckers squares but am not sure mine have those little holes in them and I certainly don't have those clamps. I use Festool Domino DF500 which helps hold things aligned when gluing/clamping and went this way after seeing how out of alignment pocket screws pulled panels ... it looks like your method really holds it in position quite well! :)
Thank you so much for this video and the plans,I'm thinking of making one and adding a top and a back,going to put it under the mitre station (of course made using your plans) as storage :)
I live my life by “the more clamps you own the easier life is”, but I have 2 sets of 90 degree clamps so a total of 4. I’d say that’s all a guy really needs but another set never hurts
Not sure if Carcus will catch on but nice build for sure. and the pocket holes were by the Kreg of a different company? I like the extended version you have.
This is the best cabinet making video I have seen! While dovetails have their place, I love the simplified drawer technique. I would suggest less music as it gets monotonous, but that is just a personal thing with me. Keep up the great work!
As everyone has mentioned, this is probably the best DIY cabinet build I've watched yet. Most go into too much detail or over complicate it. Love this video! Only thing I wouldve loved to have seen was your vanity top installation as I planned to use the exact same setup! Either way awesome work 10/10
one of the best cabinet/vanity build videos i've seen on YT....and i've watched a ton. great pace and clear instruction...also like how you pause after a set of steps to go over what you've just completed. keep up the great work!
Hola! 🖐Really, really nice build. You make it look like you have built hundreds of these. I'm still building the momentum to get going on converting my garage into my workshop and I can't wait to build cabinets for it. This video will be a reference for me definitely. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Hey Jack. I'm building this vanity next weekend. I'm curious about two things. One, what was the reason for making the drawer back 1/2" shorter? Couldn't you groove it the same was as the other three sides, and insert the bottom before screwing the back on? So it's all locked in, no glue required. Two, what do you think about pre-drilling pocket holes along the front edge of the sides and dividers, so the face frame can be screwed on from behind with pocket screws instead of having to fill a bunch of brad nail holes?
Good questions! 1. Making the back of the drawer 1/2" shorter allows for you to change out the drawer bottoms in the future if they get damaged over time instead of having to replace the entire door. 2. Using pocket screws to hold the face frame on would definitely work as long as you don't care if you see the pocket holes when you open the drawers.
Absolutely love the video! One question. If the depth of the vanity is to be 20.5", don't the bulkheads need to be 19.75" with the face frame accounting for the remaining .75"?
Great video. Out of all my subscription, I have to say this has been the best earned subscription due to the quality of your explanation and mastery of this craft. Great video sir. You have earned a sub from me. Thank you for such a great video.
Subscribed! I was curious, in your plans for this build you mentioned using lots of 1 1/2” length pocket screws. The plywood you use is 3/4” thick and less. Would 1 1/4” length pocket screws be even better? Apologies, I am 100% new to this and am trying to learn as much as I can through your videos. Checking online it mentions 3/4” plywood would be best matched with 1 1/4” length pocket screws so was curious why you included the 1 1/2” length pocket screws in your build. If anyone knows please share! TY for making such an easy to follow video and the blueprints so accessible, it’s really motivated me!
This is a unique construction method, building the toe kick onto the base and then attaching the sides. That should make being square much easier to achieve.
The plans and video are great. Thank you so much and I also subscribed. I am to the point of making the face frame. There are no measurements to show where to set the horizontal pieces. The top spacing looks to be about 4 or 5 inches, but I have no idea of the specific distances between the horizontal pieces. Can you provide those distances, please? Thank you so much.
You’re right those dimensions are missing, good catch. The top opening dimension is 5” the middle is 7.75” and the bottom is 10.75”. I’ll get the plans updated. Thanks!
Based on your drawing you show the stiles at 21 3/4 of an inch and the rails at 5 1/8 my calculations are the stiles at 19 7/8 and rails at 4 7/8 for the doors with a 1/16th of a gap all the way around please review and correct me if i may have miscalculated.
Quick question for you, what software did you use to draft the plans. I have your plans for this build and you did a beautiful job. I just need to tweak some dimensions for my space and would like to use the software you did. Thank you! Cheers from Chicago. 👊🏻
I'm embarking on building this vanity, shortening it by 3" to standard height. I've noticed you provide dimensions for everything except the height of the door front centers. I see they are 5 1/8" wide, but how tall are they on your original build?
I've just update the plans yesterday with a few corrected dimensions and added the door trim height dimension. Go ahead and redownload them to get all of the dimensions
Wow, this was a great video. I have never done any woodwork but your instructions are so great that I actually feel very confident to take on a project like this one. Do you know what was your total cost built including counter top?
Thanks for the free plans! I’ve been following them and have a question. Do you happen to remember the measurement for the spacers you used to locate the divider panels?
Thanks for the video and plans. Without these I would not have decided to build a non-standard 55" wall-to-wall vanity. Obviously I need to modify your plan dimensions to suit my 55" wide x 31" high vanity. I think I have got the horizontal dimensions fixed by adding 3" to all drawer widths but when I decided to make both top and middle drawers alike to reduce the vertical height by 3" I found problems with the plans. Adding all drawer front heights and allowing a 1/4" gap above and between drawer fronts and 5 1/4 for toekick, I show over 1 1/2" greater than the 31" height needed. Using the plan dimensions without changing anything shows the same thing. Is it possible that the bottom drawer front height is wrong?
Great tutorial! I have built the carcass and most of the face frame, but I don’t see on the plans or in the video what the measurements are for the spacing between the drawer horizontal pieces of the face frame. Can you post those measurements?
Hey thanks again for posting this vid. I'm going to make this exactly like you did, but I'm wondering about nailing and gluing the bottom of the drawers instead of using dados. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Nice build! But why you make a face frame? It narrows drawer space and takes extra depth. And what about moisture protection from the bottom and from the inside?
I like the look of a face frame, but the next vanity I build will probably be faceless for those exact reasons. As for waterproofing the bottom, if there is that much water getting underneath this thing to make it rot I have bigger problems to worry about
How long are the spacers that you cut to get the dividers in the right spot? I’m building according to your plans and don’t want to mess this part up!!
Excellent work and very inspiring! Curious, would the paint need to be mold & mildew resistant given that it's going to be in a steamy shower bathroom?

Really like you Vanity Plans & build. You make it look simple. Also love the color. You do great work my friend. Thanks so much, Steve
I’ve seen quite literally a dozen similar videos to this one but you stand out for a masterful use of spacer blocks throughout the build, well done!!!

Appreciate that you offer plans for free on your website and only ask us to subscribe to your channel. Done!!
Really enjoyed this video and the music made it easier to watch. As a female that's never built much at all, i'm giving this a go!
Thank you so much for the free plans, you make very easy to understand!
Thank you so much for the great video and plans. They were a great help in building this. I just completed it and it came out great.
Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family outstanding work

A lot of people, myself included, love that old blue bath set. My granddaughter just bought the complete blue toilet, tub, and sink from someone who is restoring a bathroom. She is creating a retro bath and so far it looks amazing.
That's awesome! Those retro styles are not easy to pull off, so that's sweet that it's turning out great!
Wow that looks great the color you picked and everything. Beautiful

Mate, briliant vid! Keep it up. From Australia 🦘🦘🌏🌏
Great video, and exactly the style vanity we were looking for! Just need to omit the left bank of drawers and I'm perfect.
Wow, nice, I'm not a carpenter. Just seeing how it made, I thinking of purchasing one from the store for my kid's bathroom but the quality waste good want it to last as long as it can.

Ignore the plans. All the dimensions given are wrong. I built it and had to redo all the drawers and the doors
I updated the plans yesterday with some modified dimensions. You can download the latest version on my website

How many 90 degree clamps would you recommend a guy own if he was going to build a fair amount of cabinets for his house?
I live my life by “the more clamps you own the easier life is”, but I have 2 sets of 90 degree clamps so a total of 4. I’d say that’s all a guy really needs but another set never hurts
N+1 is the answer lol.
You're awesome! Looks great.
You can make your own wood filler with saw dust and glue. Works well.
Keep up the good work!
You are so talented! Please never stop doing what you're doing!!

Good questions!
1. Making the back of the drawer 1/2" shorter allows for you to change out the drawer bottoms in the future if they get damaged over time instead of having to replace the entire door.
2. Using pocket screws to hold the face frame on would definitely work as long as you don't care if you see the pocket holes when you open the drawers.
Would love to see a kitchen island build!!!
Am I missing the section of the plans where you give the measurements for the face frame/drawer spacing? Awesome video and I’m excited to get started.
Absolutely love the video! One question. If the depth of the vanity is to be 20.5", don't the bulkheads need to be 19.75" with the face frame accounting for the remaining .75"?

Yeah it's 1-1/4'' pocket screws to be used with 3/4 thick material
Great Job
now if I was shortening the carcasss by 6 inches what adjustments would I make to the drawers so this fits a 43 inch top?
Lets keep going
This is a unique construction method, building the toe kick onto the base and then attaching the sides. That should make being square much easier to achieve.
The plans and video are great. Thank you so much and I also subscribed. I am to the point of making the face frame. There are no measurements to show where to set the horizontal pieces. The top spacing looks to be about 4 or 5 inches, but I have no idea of the specific distances between the horizontal pieces. Can you provide those distances, please? Thank you so much.
You’re right those dimensions are missing, good catch. The top opening dimension is 5” the middle is 7.75” and the bottom is 10.75”. I’ll get the plans updated. Thanks!
Nice build, im going to get this plans as soon as you have them
This is a bit more complex build so the plans are taking longer. Hopefully they should be done soon
Nice one! Cheers from Hungary! :)
Liked and subscribed! Gona build this thanks
Based on your drawing you show the stiles at 21 3/4 of an inch and the rails at 5 1/8 my calculations are the stiles at 19 7/8 and rails at 4 7/8 for the doors with a 1/16th of a gap all the way around please review and correct me if i may have miscalculated.
Quick question for you, what software did you use to draft the plans. I have your plans for this build and you did a beautiful job. I just need to tweak some dimensions for my space and would like to use the software you did. Thank you! Cheers from Chicago. 👊🏻
I make the physical plans in Adobe illustrator. The model is from Sketch up
@@BearMountainBuilds awesome thank you for the quick response.
I'm embarking on building this vanity, shortening it by 3" to standard height. I've noticed you provide dimensions for everything except the height of the door front centers. I see they are 5 1/8" wide, but how tall are they on your original build?
I've just update the plans yesterday with a few corrected dimensions and added the door trim height dimension. Go ahead and redownload them to get all of the dimensions
Wow! Really turned out great!
Wow, this was a great video. I have never done any woodwork but your instructions are so great that I actually feel very confident to take on a project like this one. Do you know what was your total cost built including counter top?
Including the top it was around $400 I think you’d buy a similar one at a store for about $1500
Good background song in this video. Do you know the name?
Excellent job! Looks great!
Thanks for the free plans! I’ve been following them and have a question. Do you happen to remember the measurement for the spacers you used to locate the divider panels?
Did you ever get an answer to this? I cant find that either.
I think that measurement got left off the original plans. I’ve updated them now. I believe it was 13.5” but would probably be worth the check

Awesome video! Love the content here!
Thanks for the video and plans. Without these I would not have decided to build a non-standard 55" wall-to-wall vanity.
Obviously I need to modify your plan dimensions to suit my 55" wide x 31" high vanity. I think I have got the horizontal dimensions fixed by adding 3" to all drawer widths but when I decided to make both top and middle drawers alike to reduce the vertical height by 3" I found problems with the plans. Adding all drawer front heights and allowing a 1/4" gap above and between drawer fronts and 5 1/4 for toekick, I show over 1 1/2" greater than the 31" height needed. Using the plan dimensions without changing anything shows the same thing. Is it possible that the bottom drawer front height is wrong?
Great tutorial! I have built the carcass and most of the face frame, but I don’t see on the plans or in the video what the measurements are for the spacing between the drawer horizontal pieces of the face frame. Can you post those measurements?
I updated the plans and they should have the dimensions
That looks great. You did a awesome job. How about some bunk beds?
Thanks I appreciate it! That's a great idea too, I'll add it to my list of projects.
Hey thanks again for posting this vid. I'm going to make this exactly like you did, but I'm wondering about nailing and gluing the bottom of the drawers instead of using dados. Any thoughts? Thanks!
It would be fine to do that but you’ll have to adjust the height of the drawer sides accordingly
What is the correct opening height for the top and bottom drawers, it is not listed in your plans
Love it
Nice build! But why you make a face frame? It narrows drawer space and takes extra depth. And what about moisture protection from the bottom and from the inside?
I like the look of a face frame, but the next vanity I build will probably be faceless for those exact reasons. As for waterproofing the bottom, if there is that much water getting underneath this thing to make it rot I have bigger problems to worry about
How long are the spacers that you cut to get the dividers in the right spot? I’m building according to your plans and don’t want to mess this part up!!
Excellent work and very inspiring! Curious, would the paint need to be mold & mildew resistant given that it's going to be in a steamy shower bathroom?
Most acrylic pairs will be resistant
what kind of plywood could I choose? can you give me some advices? if cheaper it is better,thanks a lot!
I used 3/4 sande plywood
thanks,I may chose the poplar core plywood!@@BearMountainBuilds
