Here's some pics of a vanity for my (soon to be remodeled) bathroom. All completed with my Mark V. Its red oak. (The top will be granite.) I cheated on the right side and didnt make a panel cause its going against a corner wall. The bottom, back, and right side is oak ply. Drawers are pine which were door jams planed down (got them for almost nothing...) I change plans at the end of how the drawer slides were going to work. I was going to use ball bearing slides but didnt like mounting them to the under side of the drawer (2 layers of 1/4 white melamine) So I used rockler hardwood slides which worked out well. I used brass glides cause the rockler slides arent that tight. I should have planed the drawer construction and slides a little better from the beginning... Cherry stain on the oak with 3 coats of satin poly. The drawers are 3 coats of semi-gloss poly.

Next up is a shaker medicine cabinet to match.

Hope u enjoy!

Very nice looking vanity.
Anyone should be happy with that one.

great looking vanity, very well done

Great looking vanity!

A little cheating is allowed if it does not show.

Congratulations.

ddvann79, i'm happy with the sliders but wished I considered them before hand... The drawer sits up high so normal drawer glides dont work. I used brass L brackets as glides. If you didnt use them, the drawer rocks side to side. If I would have planed using them I would have mounted them differently so standard glides would have worked.
