With this vanity, I decided to try something different from the usual style of splitting the two parts into nightstands. I thought tambour doors would look great in the middle, so that's what I attempted. It was actually trickier than I thought to figure out the design and the order in which to assemble the pieces, but it all worked out in the end. I think this may be the most functional thing I've ever built...

Loving the sliding doors addition to this piece. Your vision is excellent. So happy that you went with stain instead of colored paint. I have a 100-yr old drum table that is currently stained with black. I prefer a red mahogany, so I plan to sand and restain, but I am nervous I will mess it up LOL

Your vision, what you can see in your head and then making it a reality, is truly a gift. I had a dresser very similar to this growing up in the 60’s, I would have loved those sliding doors. Sadly mine was painted. I love the look and feel of natural wood grain, I agree nothing smoother than freshly waxed wood. Seriously from my POV your videos are calming and therapeutic watching you work, bringing another wounded piece of furniture back to life. Subscribed. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Andy, it’s so good to see you back. Thanks for the brilliant additions to this piece, especially when mid-mod is your favorite style. You even kept the original fringe bling. The tambour doors you created threw shadows thanks to your carving and your staining/waxing. The partition walls classed it up. Each step proved your status as a master crafter/carpenter. Play with your new toys whenever you want because you figure out ways to innovate with them. We should figure out a way to promote your willingness to repurpose. 0:04

Definitely one of the channels where I know when I watch any new posted videos, that it will be concise, thoughfully made, creative as heck, and your videography is on point! The way you can reminagine some of the older furniture into something with a modern makeover (I know your channel name I worked in there!) I don't know your future plans but while I love all your nature shots and very compelling views with your camera, I can't help but think how much more you could create and redo if you had a totally larger dedicated work space with all your equipment in one place! Won't pretend to know your decision to work on a lot of these pieces outdoors, nor am I even remotely trying to tell you what to do, but the challenges you have with the Canadian weather is surprising how you cope with it. A larger actual "shop" space would be a treat not only for us viewers but I'm sure you'd really soar with your innovative interpretations of some of these old classic pieces of furniture! Stunning results on this project, and the pupper's appearance is sweet too! Thanks again for sharing your journey!
