The countertop over my washer and dryer is one of my favorite features of my new laundry room remodel. Here is how I built the countertop using plywood.

Amazing tutorial. This is exactly what I was looking for too. In my case too i need a side support on the right side and can do cleats in the left and back. I don’t have the tools or time to do this but I’ll send this video to carpenter and see how it goes. Thank you!

Love it. It was smart not to attach the top in case you needed to get in there and repair something. We all know that happens, don't we?

Yup!! More often than we like!

Beautiful countertop and great video! Please do you have an estimation of material cost for this project?

@tobequitefranco 2 ай бұрын

Looks great. How much weight do you think it would be able to support?

@graciealeshire5528 Жыл бұрын

Great! Can you make a wooden top for a three burner gas stove for an rv?

@Anikasdiylife 11 ай бұрын

Yes!! It would basically work the same way except you would need to cut out for the stove.

@silviacrespo8935 Жыл бұрын

Hola! Love everything you make. ❤️ what can I use if I don’ have an electric nail gun. Can I just buy the nails and used the hammer?

@Anikasdiylife 11 ай бұрын

Yes. Totally. Or you can get “trim head screws” that you cab drive in with a power drill. And their heads are just a tad bigger than nails.

Doesn’t the front edge of your side wall move because it’s not attached to anything? Im just thinking the rear brace you made wouldn’t be sufficient to keep the front of the wall stable. Thanks for the tutorial, I’ll be installing the same configuration this next week.

Love it well done - I just can’t seem to wrap my Mind around - once the countertop is in how do you attach the dryer hose to the exhaust !?

@Anikasdiylife 7 ай бұрын

You attach the washer and dryer before you install the countertop. The countertop is not permanently attached. It is simply resting on all of the supports. This way you can also pull it out if you need to change something or fix something.

Does edge tape accept a mineral oil and beeswax finish?

@yaowsers77 8 күн бұрын

Is that 3/4" plywood? What material?

@brycerollins9496 8 ай бұрын

Can you stain the wide edge banding with the same stain as the plywood? Can you use a water based stain on it?

@Anikasdiylife 8 ай бұрын

Yes. You can stain but I have only tried with oil based stain. You should test the water based stain before using it.

@jennifers.7011 6 ай бұрын

Hi can you tell me what finished you used? I made a similar one but the stain is coming off did you use a poly finish? Don’t want it to be a fire hazard either with the dryer. Thanks!
