We've started to renovate our bathroom and as I'm doing most of the work it made sense to incorporate some video projects. I'm making the vanity first from a local hardwood (Gympie Messmate) which I picked up from Darcy at Mooloo Timbers. Check them out here www.moolootimberco.com.au
I still need to make a sink, a mirror cabinet and a built in cupboard. And on top of that the waterproofing, tiling and painting. Let me know if you want to see videos of these.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

To make it taller, just make a decorative spacer to go between the apron and the cabinet. It'll look great and no one will ever know you didn't intend it to be that way.

I really enjoy watching you make things.

Haha, I find it funny that you were not comfortable cutting the round over on the handles with the router, so instead you made off angle cuts on the _tablesaw._ Beautiful work as always, Neil. I always enjoy your approach to woodworking. It makes it comfortable to the layman.

I love those drawer handles!! When i saw the thumbnail and the vid title, i did as I usually do and tried to figure out how I'd make handles like that. I had it pretty well worked out before starting the video, and as usual, i was nowhere near right. Not even close. And usilng the belt sander instead of router to shape the handles surprised me. What a beautiful solution that was!! Thank you once again for a fantastic, entertaining, and educational video As usual.

Neil, this is another beautiful piece and a testament to your ever growing mastery. Thank you for sharing it with us. The handles are elegant and organic looking, like if you'd persuade the tree to grow them like this. Your jigs.. they are simple, efficient and once I see them, they make total sense. But I would have crazy difficult time to come up with them myself. Your brain, and spatial and geometric perception are on another level, I think. I also really enjoy the production quality of your videos. Thank you for showing us a bit of stunning Australia too! Have a nice day

Beautiful cabinet. One thing that takes away from it are the side mount drawer slides - undermount slides would've taken it to the next level. A tip on installing drawer fronts - loose the hot glue and use double sided tape. It's faster, easier to reposition if you mess up and you don't need another tool. I use cheap dollar store mounting tape, it's perfect cause it's cheap, I can tear it by hand and it grabs just well enough that I can reposition without any problems. If I have a big drawer face I just use longer strips.
