DIY Small Bathroom Makeover | Toilet Area

What happens here

Take a smaller piece of ash wood (the same material as the floating shelves). On the top surface, apply a stencil of a decorative pattern (e.g., olive branches). Use a plunge router with a V-groove bit to carve out this pattern to a shallow depth. Mix two-part epoxy (2 parts resin, 1 part hardener) and a few drops of turquoise pigment, then pour it into the carved pattern. Allow it to cure overnight, then sand down the excess epoxy, leaving the colored epoxy flush with the wood surface. On the back side of this shelf, trace the outline of a wireless charging pad. Use a router to carve out a recess approximately 1/2 inch deep to snugly fit the charging pad. Secure the charging pad in place with double-sided tape (rather than epoxy for easy replacement). Finally, mount this shelf over a USB charging outlet on the wall using screws.

Goal: Create a small, decorative shelf from ash wood. Rout out a recess on the underside to perfectly fit a wireless charging pad, and carve a decorative pattern on the top using a router and epoxy.

see how you can perfect it later on ok so now we're gonna do a little craft project I want to create another shelf is the same ash material that I use for the rest of loaded shelves but I want to make a little basic a little shelf for I don't know a beer if you have a drink as you're going to the bathroom for whatever reason if you're a parent definitely but most of that I wanted to create a charging station for an average cellphone that you can lay on top and I'll charge now I'll show you how I get to it in a second but in the meantime I want to put a pattern on top just because this just looks blank like it looks like somebody just took a piece of wood and Smeal it so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to create a little I don't know a little stencil like that which is olive branches and I want to cut it out and pour epoxy with a color to it like a green like an olive green kind of color that way it's an indicator that I hate the cell phone area charging station might be right there so to accomplish this I just printer off this pattern that I found online nothing fancy I'm just gonna cut it out I have two copies here because I know I'm gonna mess up so this is the first time I've ever done something like this it looks pretty easy from social media but you know and we're gonna lay it over here so this is to get this template over this is a 3m spray adhesive general-purpose number 45 and the way you do it give it a light coat it's kinda like hair spray basically and you're gonna take this stuff well it's getting sticky already we're gonna lay that right over there now the stuffs not going anywhere I'm gonna take my pledge router with a v-groove router bit and I must slowly plunge this thing out so fingers crossed I don't scrub too badly to fill the carb pattern I'm using a two-part resin and one part hardener of epoxy from total boat and I added a few of their sprinkles of that turquoise pigment to give this pattern a hint of greenery I'll link the epoxy system that I use in the video description down below now because this is a slow curing system I'll have to leave it overnight so that it could cure and it'll be hard enough to start sanding down the next day I took 120 grit sandpaper to start sanding the excess epoxy down leaving only what's in the carved out pattern alright we got our little shelf for the toilet area figured out and done I flipped it over and here is the little charging disc that I'm gonna using us basically a platform they're gonna lay a…
