I Built An Expensive Home Depot Vanity For $300

What happens here

The creator realizes an initial cutting error made the internal divider pieces not deep enough. To rectify this without cutting new plywood, he glues and pocket-holes extra scrap pieces to the existing dividers to extend their depth. These extended dividers are then installed vertically within the carcass, defining the spaces for drawers on the sides and an open section for the sink. An additional horizontal shelf is placed in the central compartment for the sink. Finally, more stretchers are attached to the back of the carcass for wall mounting, ensuring the vanity remains stable once installed.

Goal: The internal dividers are added to create compartments for drawers and storage, with an adjustment made due to an initial cutting error. Additional stretchers are installed at the back for wall mounting.

when attaching those drawer slides happy to report I found a way to screw up uh man I spoke told you I uh wasn't as efficient with uh planning out or mapping out my cuts I have a small scrap pile of wood left but I want to avoid getting another sheet of plywood which is like I said 80 bucks uh 88 I think so these side pieces they're not deep enough so um typically I wouldn't be too concerned but I don't want that empty space when you open underneath the sink so what I'm going to do is the difference that I need I'm going to use my scrap piece glue it and pocket hole it these pocket holes will be on the inside of the drawers so nobody will know except you um sometimes these things just happen folks and uh you got to be efficient resourceful and come up with a plan B and just don't do it again next time [Music] we have our vanity and just like the original inspiration all of these compartments were equal um and I just took the width divided by four and so by equal I mean this drawer face is exactly half of this door half of this door and half of that drawer well full drawer now that that's in order um oh they wanted another drawer down below crap I got to throw another down below so I could squeeze another [Music]
