Building The Bathroom Vanity Cabinet - Part 1

- In this video, I build the base cabinet for the bathroom vanity. The design is fairly simple, just a box that will house three large drawers. The construction is barebones, using stretchers instead of a solid bottom shelf and a back panel, but has a solid maple faceframe attached to the carcass with biscuits and glue.
In the next video, I'll apply the finish to this part of the cabinet. It will be stained a dark colour and I'll go through how I do that.

Very interesting to watch thank you, the fourteen & a half went by so quickly,
I Build It Home
Do you keep checking for square throughout or is it easy enough to pull it back into square later?
I Build It Home
I Build It Home can you put up the link for part 2? Thanks in advance
Thanks for keeping it real by including putting the toe kick block on the wrong side. There's more to learn when things go wrong than when things go right. cheers.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Nice clear descriptions of what you were doing
The value in these videos is immeasurable! Thanks for putting the time and effort in to get a project of this scale not only built, but recorded, edited, uploaded, etc! Great channel.
Thanks, I have enjoyed your channel. There is a ton of shop videos on build stuff but you show how with just the basics tools that probably the 90% of us have.
That was great John. Nice clear descriptions of what you were doing. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build (and hiding this one from the Mrs or there'll be cabinests on the Honey Do list...)
This extension on the miter saw is brilliant! :)
I have to replace a bathroom vanity and the ones I see in the stores are obviously poorly made yet expensive. Your vanity will survive decades of use. A neighbor of mine recently replaced both of his vanities, one had broken ends (only discovered when the packaging was removed), and the other had all broken support pieces. Flimsy from the start. Both units were delivered by the seller so he did not cause the damage. After seeing his experience I am tempted to purchase an assembled plain cabinet and not have to deal with all that chaos. I wish I had the tools and skills involved in creating a vanity similar to yours. I prefer a simple yet strong cabinet rather than fancy and flimsy. The timing of this video topic is ideal for me. As always thank you for providing your viewers with such wonderful info.
Honestly, I don't understand the mindset of your detractors. You provide a quality service, for free. If anyone doesn't like it, just stop watching. I'm a furniture maker and I really, really appreciate john's point of view. I'm constantly exposed to new ways of doing things and i especially appreciate his constant creativity in solving problems, building things normally bought and his forthright on camera delivery. Also, the care and effort that goes into the video production itself makes watching fun. And if you've ever seen, and who hasn't, a bad TH-cam video, you know what I mean. How about we all just say thank you, thank you and thank you?
So great to see more quality videos coming out, John! Keep it up. I was very inspired to get into woodworking and home improvement once I found your channels last year.....and binge-watched everything I could find. Thanks again! ...and good job!
Great video John! Very informative with clear and simple methods. We have been talking about building our own vanity for some time now, and this helps instill the confidence I need to get to it! Thanks for sharing!
Love it when I learn a different technique. That's a new (for me!) way of doing a face frame.
Oooo that dig 1:43
Gonna be doing some cabinets in some property I just picked up. Reviewing your videos on this stuff is definitely a must. Great work as usual.
Good morning John! Thanks for the video, love watching your channel!!!
Love the vanity, really nice job. The wood looks like what we here in Australia would call chipboard or particle board, really really cheap stuff (half the cost of regular plywood, and significantly cheaper than pine). All the cupboards in my house are made from it here in Western Australia. The only danger is even with the laminate on it, one has to be careful not to get it wet (mostly a problem with the benchtops.
just found your channel a few days ago. Love your videos man i have watched a ton now, how about a quick walk through ouside and in. Keep up the great work.
That was awesome! I learnt so many wood working tips then. It is like watching a master at work. I love it!
This was great! I'm just getting starting in building my own cabinets. So far, your videos are the most concise and don't have useless filler or, even worse... background music:) When you glued that piece on backwards it gave me a good chuckle. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. Frankly I have changed my motto to "Measure 3 times so you have to only cut twice".
I love watching these type videos. I want to build all my cabinets in my home. Have most of the tools.
I worked in a Cabnet Shop before for 2 in a half years. I really loved it and enjoyed it. Although my boss at that time can be a butt hole from time to time. I would cut and put stiles with rails together with screws and wood glue upon a slightly from top and bottom chalkboard slanit.
Thank you for another fantastic video, filled with helpful tips tricks and WoW I missed your video on the miter saw forward extensions best idea for a miter saw I've seen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I really like what you have done with your miter saw station and cabinetry!
Nice job, looking good, I use to use biscuit joinery to build cabinets years ago, worked well most of the time, I now use the Summerfeld Tools tongue and groove method of cabinet construction, it is just as fast, very strong but more importantly for me is that it is very accurate... I get perfectly square cabinets without even trying. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Great video! I watched A LOT of videos on bathroom vanity builds along with other types of cabinets and YOURS is far and away the best!!!
Really liked this one,it's clear and concise, it's not full of garbage like the allot of the other cabinet build videos and it really shows how simple a build can be. The people that have problems with particle board can suck it. I've installed $20k kitchens that used particle board and they didn't even edge band the bottoms or tops. I applaud what you do
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
If you guys are interested I have a huge collection of 16,000 woodworking plans that you can use. You can find them here: *WoodPlan. info*
@@veronicawilliams8056 That's very nice of you.
Why are woodworker always such nice guys? Nice video! Thanks!
Liked this one very much John.
Very timely, at least from my perspective. I am about to build a cabinet for my shop utility sink. I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on moisture and what you'll be doing for the top.
Best part is that you admit to your mistake, not a virtue many people have anymore.
Great use of construction John, the material is commonly used for carcasses and in the uk we call it chipboard.
But whatever it's called around the globe its still a carcass, and it does the job.
I've heard it called chipboard or MDF (medium density fiberboard) in the US. I'm curious if he attached that veneer himself or if it comes from the store that way. I believe that veneer to be the source of confusion.
TheDisorderly1 the sheet comes veneered already, but it can be bought naked. MDF is fibres whilst this stump is made from formed wood chips, that's why it's called chipboard . Like john said let's a stable product ( until it gets wet then it will blow) as long as it's the water resistant stuff.
Industry name for it here in North America is "particleboard", since it's made from wood particles (saw dust, basically) and not chips. MDF is another thing altogether, more like cardboard.
Might try cutting the toe kicks on the bandsaw using the fence. No overcut and you can cut all several at one time by just stacking the material.
Love your videos. I watch them all. (Just getting caught up on your vids after returning from holidays actually!)
I have built cabinets out of traditional plywood as well as melamine. I have also done many plumbing repairs to bathroom and kitchen sinks. One thing I would suggest if you are using the particleboard is to caulk the inside corners along the bottom of the cabinet. The particleboard does not seem to hold up well to water leaks in my experience. The two main reasons that I have come across for replacing cabinets are due to water leaks and due to door hinges ripping out. Feel free to let me know if I am "all wet" with my comments.
The cabnet is looking good! I can't wait for the staining video. I just finished a hand carved urn box for my friends dog and I Have to stain it, I dont know a whole lot about staining, other than every time I do it I find out I didnt get out all the sand scratches. Lol
awesome video, john! much appreciated. it's a real joy to see you work and put your experience to practise.
Man you are very good at what you do. Very simple bits an pieces of what you do in your video prove to me you have loads of experience and knowledge to show. I love the video and that Boston shirt!
Thanks again for another informative video. I was wondering what kind of stain you are going to use? I know that maple does not take stain very well. I am looking forward to the next video.
Great video. I purchased kitchen units for my bathroom looks great and the cows less than half. Don't know why bathroom furniture is so expensive, I told three of my friends and they are going to do the same thing.
I love your work shop!!! So smartly designed
Thanks for sharing your techniques and the method in which you use to build these cabinets people need to realize they can use whatever type of material they like they could use a combination of 1 by 12 1 by 6 is when x46 cetera is showing in the technique sandwich is in the ability to build a cabinet and that's what matters thanks for sharing
thank you very much for this video, you are so clear explaining, and easy to understand and I enjoyed it, thank you for your knowledge
Great video! I'd like to see how this one will turn out
I would like too you do a video of you making your table saw top and extensions. I think this would make a great video. Thanks and as always keep up the good work.
Great advice John! "Mistakes happen, fix them and move on."
I have wanted to do this my whole life. I’d love to make simple tables with decorative tiles. What saws do most people buy to get started?
Mistakes happen...absolutely!!!
A mark of a true craftsman is not that they don't make mistakes, its what they do about them.
However, in time we must make less mistakes, LOL.
Good work as usual.
Ciao
I think the mark of a true craftsman is still not making mistakes, but ALSO about the ability to deal with and fix them when they happen.
Super video, thank you.
Thanks :)
I have the same chop saw . Nice trick. Good Job !
Youre on fire now John making good progress on your homereno. Thanks for taking us with.
Also i cant help to feel that if you were to buy a property to fix up maybe you could vlog about it and set up a patreon to help bring in some cash?
Hi John
Great videos, we in the UK call that veneered chipboard
Eddie Harper
Well done john
What a terrific idea those arms out for saw!! Wish you were here in Fresno, CA to build a new vanity for me! Ha!! I'll just have to try myself....Thanks for your videos. Great job.
Boston... I remember that album in 1978... I was in 7th grade.
Love your video's, love how you don't just care about the "special" comments about your videos, and tell them to go away, I think they stay to watch more. Your reno's of your house is very realistic in time and money. Like majority of people in the world, who don't have abundance of time and money and by the best of everything and work with what you have. Keep the great videos
between your three channels , planing , filming , editing , and uploading l wonder if you have any time to sleep , you are like a busy bee John , much appreciated .
Really good build tips, thanks.
What blade are you using in the table saw to cut the panels? I never seem to get a cut without chipping the veneer.
Thanks
I will be so happy the day I get my own little shop😁. Great video
great info, great editing, great shirt
Anyone with Boston shirt is my kinda guy. Thanks for the video
If you said it, I didn't hear but is there a reason for not doing a separate toe kick?
Another great video thanks for uploading
Boston! Great video, too.
Nice job, but you aren't checking for square? I know I had this issue when making a carcase the first time as it didn't align with my face frame box.
Excellent work john 👍🏼
Thanks for taking the time. I always learn multiple new ways of building from you.
John its amazing. I thought all cabinets built on TH-cam needed pocket screws! Wow! :-) Nice job sir. Keep the videos coming - really enjoy them.
> I thought all cabinets built on TH-cam needed pocket screws!
Clearly not a subscriber of Matthias Wandel's... :-)
Related to the faceframe construction, since you offset the styles on both sides to the left, are you going to add a spacer board for the drawer slides inside on the right side panel interior? Or are you going to offset the drawers for drain pipes and water supply pipes?
I can't watch enough of these cabinet builds. Always learn a new way of doing things. One question. It looks like you made the face frame flush with the outer face on one side and the inner face on the other side. Did I see that right? Just wondering if there was a reason for that.
Yes, the left side face frame is also the filler that will be scribed to the wall.
Nick Klenke I noticed that earlier as well. The inner reveal will be different then? Correct?
ww55d I think he said he was doing drawers so the reveal won't matter much. He may just be adding a filler on the one side for the drawer slides? I'm sure it will be addressed in the next video.
Love watching the Bathroom Vanity Part 1, but now need Part 2 to complete the project. How can I access it?
I like the Boston shirt. And the cabinet is ok too.
Great guy and a great craftsman
this guy is so awesome and inspiring. Great work sir
Trying to find the part where you put the wood veneer on. Can you please help?
Hello John! Thanks for video.
Great videos. I enjoy each and everyone.
Nice video. cool miter saw dogs. love the tee
Hey Don! Something tells me we're gonna have a blast! Anyone with a Boston t-shirt on is my kinda 🤘😝ROCKER!!
I liked your video, but I don't like cutting toe kicks. I set my cabinets on a 2x4 frame witch I level before placing the cabinet on it. just seems much easier for me.
Thanx for sharing. Really good info. Will it work to only make the holes half thru the table if the table is 1.5 inches thick ???
This is amazing! ❤️ Thanks for sharing.
Please can you give those of us who are beginners a list of the equipment you used here and others that are routinely used. Thanks!
Hi! This video could be easily part of one of your more viewed channels. Sorry for grammar, not my native.
Fantastic!
Please tell me about the fence on your table saw
Cool for not editing out the mistake.
really thinking about getting a biscuit joiner great video
edward lier
Same here. I'm thinking of building cabinets in my bathrooms and kitchen and a biscuit cutter would come in real handy.
I like what u do guys and am also studying about jainer and cabinet making
How do you like the Hitachi slider saw. Would you buy it again?
Great video. Where is part 2?
Why do you have one stile flush with the outside and the other flush with the inside?
Why would you use particle board if your making the cabinet from scratch I also dont agree with only using brad nails and glue but hey im certainly not an expert . Appreciate your videos always
I use my table saw for an assembly bench too...
Your voice is soothing
How well does the edge-banding hold to the particle board? Does the iron-on adhesive stand the test of time? Or is this in a spot where that's not really an issue?
Good quality edge banding that has been properly applied and finished will last as long as the plywood itself. The glue sticks just fine to the particleboard core, as long as it's clean / not covered with dust.
Got the same saw.. last of the legends
Can I have your brad nailer when you get a new one ? I have a collection of brad nailers ?? 🤔
good job
Really like the biscuit joinery, also the little blocks that helped square the stretchers. Was there an advantage to using stretchers instead of a solid back or was it just to save wood? Or is it more appropriate to use stretchers for this type and size of cabinet? Curious if sketch up was used for design first? + 1 request for spraying the finish 😀. Thanks for the build video.
It's more economical to use stretchers, since the inside of this cabinet will never be seen after it's finished.
can i attach this to a wall to make it floating?
