Bathroom vanity, epilog
I wasn’t going to do a post about the actual vanity installation, but I kind of have to. It was a lot more involved (read: difficult) than we thought, and some of that was my inadvertent doing and goes back to the design of the new vanity. So, on the off chance that anybody is actually reading this, let’s share some lessons learned. First, let me show you the original bathroom, with the cheap original equipment vanity and sinks: The OG vanity It’s pretty crappy. All particle board except for the doors and face frame, no...

As a said before, I’m farming out the drawer boxes, so once I had my carcass done I only had drawer fronts and cabinet doors to do. I started with the doors. The plan is for a European-style frameless cabinet with full inset doors and drawers, hence my putting thick edging on all the plywood. I wanted a fairly tight reveal on things, typically 1/16″. First up, I milled the stock for the frames. Rather than mitering corners I went with a modified Shaker style, with stiles the whole height of the door and rails within. Simple stub...

Every year we try to do something nice for our house. Last year it was replacing the furnace, upgrading all the insulation, and adding the mini-split to the garage. Other years it’s been a new bedroom set (detail in King Bed in Cherry and Walnut, design and more), or replacing carpets with wood floors. This year, we want to get rid of the aged, builder cheap, double sink and vanity in our bathroom and upgrade to a new, nicer walnut vanity with a granite top. SketchUp model of the carcase for the vanity I browsed a lot of pictures on...

I did another quickie project using wood and supplies already on hand. This one is going in the bedroom to be used as a low bedside table, but in form it is actually a one-person bench. Again, there is no drawing for this, it was a complete ad-lib. I drew inspiration from The Wood Whisperer, who recently did a long bench with the aprons crossed like this. I had several largish cutoffs of cherry and a 4-inch wide piece of curly maple to work with that was several feet long. Since the maple was already planed to 3/4 inch I left it that way and...

So, before doing the bathroom vanity I wanted to knock out a couple of quick projects using the spare wood I already had on hand. This is the first of those; it took me a Sunday and a few hours during the week to finish. We have had for years a little shelf in the bathroom. I don’t even remember where it came from, but I know I didn’t make it. And on this shelf were lots of different bottles, which occasionally would fall off because they were all crowded together to fit. This needed addressing. For stock, I turned to something I...

The second part of Adam’s housewarming gift was a pair of end tables to go with the coffee table. He had only one requirement, which was for a drawer 5 inches deep. Seemed fairly simple. Basic drawing of the coffee table I would add a drawer, and a nice prewired AC box with USB and three-wire outlets. There would also be glass across the bottom stretchers, for shelf storage and to tie it together with the coffee table. I started out by milling the stock, leaving some extra material on the legs and stretcher pieces so I could custom trim...

I’ve been making furniture for a very long time — a little over 30 years, as I was reminded recently. But one person I hadn’t made anything for yet was my oldest son Adam. So when he mentioned needing a coffee table for his new house, I jumped at it. The original concept drawing. I wanted to pull out all the stops on this, because Adam had never asked for anything before. In my original drawing (above) I wanted to include two drawers, one on each short end, and a display case built into the middle of the table with a glass...

This is a fix job on a project I designed and made in the basement of my Jessup home. I lived in Jessup between 1990 and 1994, so this project was probably made in 1992 or later — about 30 years ago, in other words. It was a pretty simple table, designed by someone who had only the roughest idea what he was doing (ie, me). It had a frame for a top, into which were originally two extra ceramic tiles that were bumming around my dad’s garage. I was experimenting with some early curve work, and this table had curved and tapered legs,...

After that huge fumble on the top, I figured I was probably going to be okay with the Law of Averages for a while. And, I have to admit, the new top was better-looking than the original. Drawers The drawers for this are mostly unremarkable. Two at 3.5 inches high, one at 5 inches, and one at 5 but looking like 6 because it came down to cover the bottom of the drawer box. The sides are 1/2″ plywood, the bottoms of three made from 1/4″ plywood, and false fronts of curly maple for contrast. One drawer is particularly interesting. I...

Drop-Leaf top in Fusion 360 A Drop-Leaf Top I’ve never done a drop-leaf anything before, so this was one of the new challenges that drew me to this design. I found lots of pictures online of drop-leafs that were just hanging there, with no joinery aside from hinges, but that seemed unrefined. I also found several examples where the leaf simply folded over the original top and lay flat. I hated that because it would mean having to fully clear the table top before it could be opened and again before it could be closed. No, I wanted actual...
