I Built An Expensive Home Depot Vanity For $300

What happens here

The creator constructs two shaker-style doors for the central sink cabinet. He uses pre-primed pine for the stiles and rails, which are cut to size and joined. MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) is used for the floating panels within the shaker doors to ensure a flawless paint finish without visible wood grain or imperfections. The edges of the door components are routed (with a router table and a router bit) for a finished look. After assembly, the entire vanity base (including the newly assembled doors) has any screw holes filled with wood filler, which is then sanded smooth, ensuring a clean surface for painting.

Goal: Shaker-style doors are assembled using pre-primed pine stiles and rails, with MDF panels for a smooth paint finish. The edges are routed, and the entire vanity is prepped for painting.

time let's get [Music] in this ain't got to cut it so I'm doing the panels right now and like I said they're going to be very narrow so I'm using my bit to create those little bevels inside the Shaker and that's just that's just comical there's not enough meat on the bones there so what I'm going to do instead is I'm going to throw it in my thickness planer shave it all the way down to the flat part here uh and that should work great I would use at this point just a quarter inch panel but this is just a hair over4 inch it's it says exactly qu inch but it's probably like qu inch and a 30 seconds I just don't want it to Rattle I really don't so this is just proof what I'm talking about I have a little quar p inch panel here uh put it in there it's like I said it's like a 302 maybe even a 16th off probably that's a 16th off and there's a trick I saw that you can put these little squishy balls in there on the sides and it keeps it from rattling but my fear is that if that Gap is there and I paint it it's going to delaminate the paint from that panel you know what I mean I'd rather to be like nice snug let me just throw this thing and I'll show you see this is what I'm talking about a solid panel door no rattling no shaking no flimsy material nice and solid all the way through I'm going to start gluing this up only two doors so hopefully in an hour I could gently start riding over the edges um sanding everywhere else that I need rounding over my drawer faces and just dapping up a little bit of primer where we need fortunately we have to don't really have to buy much primer just maybe like one rattle can and then tomorrow we're going to shoot some spray paint not spray paint we're going to spray the paint and uh I'll be honest with you I'm pretty excited about the color and I hope you
