I appreciated the comments at the end. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in details and construction methods, we forget the practical issues. I just built an outdoor plant stand, but I waited till my wife bought pots she liked so I could be sure the shelves were the right size and spaced correctly. And the vanity looks great--I may try that next!

This is a great looking little vanity. I like the design.

We agree this video was full of content which was a great review for me as today we are going to be assembling and attaching my Home Office project to our walls. Certainly many of the tasks and much of the tools have been inspired by your work. Today my Wife and I watched this video together on our TV which was kind of a added bonus for each of us. Hope you are doing well, are able to tolerate the cat, and are still giving Lucy hugs from time to time. Hugs from us. Thanks for Sharing!

Haven’t made it all the way through the video yet, but I just had to stop and comment about being sisters in crime, as I do truly feel in touch with my feminine side as I…sing my heart out while vacuuming, my shirt still wet from where I made a mess and splashed myself repeatedly as I washed dishes, and shamelessly peeking through the blinds when someone comes to the door, because I don’t want them to see me in my house clothes and slippers, with my hair all a mess!!

Love the project, so simple yet versatile. Without the mirror it could be used for a laptop workstation, granted you would ave to add a hole in the back for the power cord. You made me laugh at the little bloopers, like Bubbs, shoulder shot, and oops with the "no pull" drawers. A little humor really goes to show that life is real and things are one-takes, no "do overs". I'm curious what editing software you use. Until next time... Saw & glue safe. PS.... Thanks for all of your work.

Thank you! You can never predict how wood will move. Some times what you expect to happen doesn’t and something what you don’t expect to happen does. It has a kind of its own haha. My philosophy (which is not right or wrong) is always to try it and see what happens. Worst case, you have to fix or replace a piece. But many times, it is fixable or replaceable so it’s not the end of the world. Sealing both sides can help prevent warping…not a guarantee, but a preventative measure 🤷♀️

I typically don’t. It doesn’t do much except make the process a lot messier. In some cases, it’s helpful, but most cases, it’s not. I do however use glue with pocket holes when I am attaching 1x2 or 2x2 pieces because I usually only use one screw on those to prevent splitting. So I use wood glue to help prevent twisting in those cases.
