I Built An Expensive Home Depot Vanity For $300

What happens here

The creator cuts pre-primed pine lumber to size for the face frame components. He then drills pocket holes into these pieces. The individual face frame sections are assembled with wood glue and pocket hole screws. He explains that using pre-primed pine saves money and time compared to raw wood if the piece is to be painted. The finished face frames are then attached to the front of the vanity carcass using a pin nailer and wood glue, ensuring a flush and square fit. He details his method of visually laying out the face frame components before assembly to avoid errors.

Goal: The face frames for the vanity are constructed from pre-primed pine lumber, with pocket holes for joinery, and then attached to the front of the carcass.
