Building a DIY Bathroom Vanity yourself is a great way to save a lot of money. Most bathroom vanities are super expensive and made of MDF or particle board, not solid wood. You can make this vanity for under $300 and invest in some nice bathroom fixtures or just save the money.

Finished product looks great, Brad! Grats on 1M too!
Thanks, Drew! It's still pretty surreal :)
OMG I have this vanity in my cart for $700 and have been toying with building it. Now I am building it. Thanks!
For just $20,000 worth of tools and know how, you too can make a $300 vanity. Nice work though. Always impressed.
Huh I made my bathroom using less than $1500 worth of tools so no need for $20k of tools
Would love the plans Brad!! Looks great!
Would also love the plans-itâs perfect for my little bath remodel. Are they available in builders club?
What color is that paint. So gorgeous, I love blue
Using the magnetic stop block is genius, totally stealing that! Your timing is impeccable... I literally just finished installing a (store bought) MDF vanity đ€Šđ»ââïž đ
My wife wanted crates for her shelves in the craft room. I used that method to cut some little 1/8 thick strips for the crates sides and bottoms. Worked well. I sliced up a bunch of 2x4 material. Great use of scrap.
love the drawer comments, I've been making drawers for about a year, some were literally a parallelogram ;). Just updated a kitchen cabinet with a wall oven and added drawers below and finally build a square drawer, small wins ;). This project was great, I'm likely going to be building a vanity for a guest bathroom soon, so bookmarked!
Every time something interesting, going to watch your other videos to implement in my workshop. Very inspiring!
That was an awesome build and love that colour
Nicely done Brad That vanity cabinet should last at least until your next bathroom remodel! đđđ
hahaha, let's hope so, Steve
Amazing Brad! Like I always said watching your videos. Nice tools! You did it again.
Thanks again!
I gotta say the color looks way more blue in the shop vs the final product... Shows what different lighting setups do! Great work though, excited to put one of these in my bathroom
This is awesome. I never considered building drawers to deal with the plumping. Brilliant!
What kind of wood do recommend for the cabinets? I am thinking of repairing my current cabinets. The bottom of drawers are ready to fall off and instead of purchasing a whole new vanity, I would like to save it if I can. Thank you for making this video!
Why does no one make a hinged drawer on the top? Makes a great place for small items. My grandmother's kitchen, for the sink, you pulled on on it and it hinged open, it is where she kept most of her spices, when closed they laid flat, when front was open it pulled down about 60 degrees and you could easily read the containers and grab them. Many small things to store around a bathroom vanity too... Filip it down, access toothpaste/toothbrushes, not sitting out, not down in some deep drawer :) Loved the color of this!
Like the color so much
Like your clean workshop
Thank you!
My name is Gean, I live here in Itaquera, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil
I admit you did a wonderful job, congratulations
Looks fantastic, Brad!
Thank you, Katy!!!
Awesome build - it looks amazing!
thanks, guys!
Gotta say Brad. Your sponsored ads are one of the few I actually watch as you put it on while still showing the build. Happy to watch the ads this way. Good job. Also nice build. When you use the foreman pocket jig are the positions random or are you measuring and placing specific points off camera?
I appreciate your support of the channel, Gary! I try to make it still have some value if you're not interested in the sponsor I'm talking about. And if you go back and look on a close up you can see these little spring stops on the Foreman. So whenever I do the edge holes I use those. Anything on the interior I just eyeball and typically go ~6" apart.
@@Fixthisbuildthat I wasn't able to locate the plans for this build on your website. I would really like to buy them if you could tell me where ti get them? This is exactly what I'm looking to do for my own bathroom remodel.
I think adding a beadboard in the opening would really make the project pop
That looks terrific.
Love the maple edge banding
So helpful. I plan to use the existing 72â cabinet base that in my master bath, but add in drawers instead of drawers that are there for better storage.
*Plan to turn the 3 bottom existing drawers in the middle to a pull out trash can.
Nice job on the bathroom vanity Brad! Thanks for sharing the video with us!đđđđJP
Very cool. I can imagine a similar look going for $500-1000, and the carcass would most likely be made out of particle board.
if you do the bathroom vanity yourself. i suggest you to choose good hardware for it. 304 stainless material hard ware
Great video! love the color choice. Might have to watch this again...
đ±đ±đ± That is exactly the color we are looking for our cabinets! Would you happen to have the color reference and brand?
Heâs too busy to reply to questions and comments.
@@mwinner101 I later realized that he had provided the link and paint code on one of his IG posts lol should've checked first before askingđ
@@andresfelipemoscosohernand2371 even if he listed on his ig posts. This is Facebook! I asked too and no reply, just a thumbs up. Go figure!
You should get a panel saw. We have one where I work and itâs super useful. It would save your back for sure
very nice! I love the blue color
Love this channel! Been watching for 2 years. I should make a shirt with Brads face and says "I will now be using me nails
-Brad Rodriguez"
Fantastic work, Brad! đ
It really looks amazing!
Stay safe there with your family! đđ
I had to slow the speed down a bit so I could follow you. I didnât want to miss anythingđ
Looks fabulous Brad, awesome work! đđđ»đđ»đđ»
Appreciate it, Fred!
Brad! I think that you paint job was superb, and unfortunely was the part with the least amount of explanation, at least for people like me that always leave brush marks in the projects that i made, Maybe You could made a video explaining how you Get this kind of excelent results, thank you one more time, and greetings from MĂ©xico!
Great build, congrats on the 1M!
Awesome video and awesome build! You had me cracking up laughing when the back fell off at 15.00. Thanks for making this video! I want to build this with my girlfriend!
Great job Brad. @13:45 when you are installing the legs, the middle support might have been better to put 1 support on each side (left/right) of the plumbing pipes opening.
Awesome!!! I bought your closet plan, made 1 and love how it looks. Will make in every kids bedrooms. Keep the good work đđŒ
Amazing work. Man I wish I had all those tools.
Wow, this was amazing đ
Great project, it looks fantastic!
thanks!
At first, a cringed when you rounded all edges of the leg, after seeing the final product. I love the look. Great lines. Great video!
Yeah, Andy, it does seems a bit cringe worthy watching it go together, hahaha. But I knew the shadow lines would add that interest and separation to the base I wanted :)
@@Fixthisbuildthat Keep up the great educational content! I grabbed the camera two weeks ago and started my first video in a long time. Excited to get back in the swing of thins.
Hi Brad. Great videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. What paint did you use for that vanity (e.g. brand and where to get it)? It appears to have a nice finish. Thanks again.
thanks! It's Benjamin Moore Advance Satin in Gentleman's Gray (yes, that's the color even though it's blue, ha)
@@Fixthisbuildthat Thank you. Benjamin Moore tends to have great colors. I knew it was not a box store paint. Keep up the good work with the content.
1:14 lol I like how you put the notice to stop all the safety police comments
gotta get ahead of em ;)
I have a couple vanities to build so I will be stealing some ideas here!
go right ahead!
Love you're videos đ would you consider doing a video on what pocket hole screws you use for different types of wood? Thanks
It'd be a very short video :) Coarse threads for softwood and fine threads for hardwood. Length is determined by size of wood and Kreg jig has great reference for that.
Another great project video!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice build, Brad~! Our bathrooms have the same contractor-grade cabinets where the plastic coverings are detaching from the doors & drawers. I thought I might tackle removing the plastic and painting the MDF doors & drawer fronts, but you know how painting MDF can be. Your DIY vanity gives me hope that I might have a less expensive alternative in replacing the units entirely. Thanks~!
Great video!!! And thanks for the price breakdown!
Love this cabinet, was wondering were to get the plans for it. The video mentions they are available but don't see them.
I like yours! But it would look neat if the inside of the cabinet stayed that light blue primer color.
that would be a fun design element
Brad, love the channel buddy! I am getting ready to remodel our bathroom and wanted to know if you had plans for this vanity available?
"In case one of my kids wants to jump up there... I dunno... start flossing..."
Multi-layered joke. Props.
Make sure to floss kids
You work vert clean amaizing
Thanks for sharing that
Good tips don't u think! Have to try some for myself
You're welcome
Oh ! Nice. The projet so good and the price so smart...ur fan
Glad you like it!
Looks great, Brad. How many cups of coffee did you have before narrating this one? Stay safe.
Bill
can't wait for these plans! nice looking build!
Always great tips and info! Planning on making my own.
Have fun!
Baltic birch a good ply to use? For a floating vanity?
Hey Brad, just wanted to ask if these plans were still coming? I'd really like to build one for my own bathroom and this looks like something I'd make!
My Grandfather use to say, "A job worth doing is worth doing right." No, u r doing it right.
I love this. Too bad I can't get them made by you, I'll have to make do with who is available to me here in Trinidad.đčđč
That beautiful
thanks!
What color paint did you use?
I have seen some âthin stripâ jigs, and honestly I like your simple solution better.
This is great. Are there measurements written out anywhere for the pieces?
Great project, but what I really wanted to hear about was the finish. Do you feel like itâs on par with commercial finishes? Itâs looked great and Iâd like to hear about your technique and type of paint/supplies used. Finish is what takes a project from clearly home made to something you want to show off.
Awesome build currently building the same one. Love the vids I teach woodworking in a high school in Canada we use your videos all the time. Great job !
on every vicdeo i make shure I subscribed!
Nice vanity.
Thank you! đ
Ain't nobody got all those tools đ€Ł this is more like a dream workshop
Great piece and even better way to save money... vanities are wayyy expensive! Was that pic of Norm at 0:20 autographed?
yes, and with a personal note :) Unfortunately I didn't get to meet him. Kevin O'Connor got it for me.
It was not done with a solid wood. It was done with plywood. Thatâs a big difference.
It's a nice project, I like the solid colour. I am in the middle of planning a vanity build and this is inspiring. At least it wasn't made with the cheapest veneered particle board like another one I saw on YT - that maker called it 'plywood' and criticised (and/or shadowbanned) everybody that argued :)
Why would you use solid wood more prone to warping for any cabinet, especially one that goes in a bathroom where thereâs always tons of humidity and temp changes??
@@thomashajicek2747 certainly no argument there, a quality ply, properly sealed, is the best way to go in these environments - short of marble or plastic, maybe :) . This was more about terminology, which seems to vary the world over. The term 'solid wood' was used early in the video which implies 'natural' non-engineered timber (lumber) in many parts of the world.
@@greaser5691 ah, I missed that bit.
looks good!
This is great! Gives me hope of building my own. Do you have plans we can download?
Great vid my friend
Thanks for sharing
It's been awhile bro. But when you showed up đ you came up with a great projectđ€đđđž
You must have missed last week's video! czcams.com/video/tfwMFNyHzn8/video.html
Yes I have missed thatđ don't know why??? I always get notifiedđ€
I always factor in the value of my time on home DIY projects like this. If it takes $300 in materials to build a cabinet that I would otherwise have to purchase for $700, I'm only "saving $400" if my time has zero value. Some people are willing to give their time away for nothing, and will take on projects like these. For others, the $400 in "savings" won't buy an hour of their time.
I do agree with you on the value of time - it will definitely take much longer to create this yourself vs purchasing one already made. But for the pre-made cabinets, donât forget to factor what materials you are purchasing for that $700. So even though you are âsavingâ $400, MDF is made out of particle board and/or fibers, which is not as strong as the plywood he used. Additionally, MDF may not be able to carry the weight of marble or granite either without bending or needing more reinforcements - which also cost additional money.
Nice
I do not have a bench vise either. I use two wood screw clamps to hold the panels
Nice vanity, what block plane is that and do you have a video on how you keep it so sharp? Thank you.
æçčææ äœ çäžè„żćçćŸäžé ç»äșæćŸć€ç”æ
Donât remember where I got this (Stumpy Nubs?), but if you have some of those wood-jawed screw clamps, you can use them instead of the vice you said you needed. Clamp rests flat on bench and holds your piece vertically, and if you need extra stability you can clamp the clamp to the bench
(Edit: now that I think of it, your parallel clamps could do the trick too!)
Very nice
Inspirational
Can you tell me what pilot/countersink bit that is.. it looks good.
It's amazing! Bit.ly/ftbtcountersink đ
Really nice work and saved $100's of dollars, shame it takes $20,000 dollars of tools to make it.
Wow really good job, one question what kind of blue is the cabinet
too stand up a piece of plywood you can use a wooden screw clamp on each end.
great tip!
Hi, Brad, What paint did you use? I'm working on a similar project and most paint I've found is upwards of $45 per quart.
Nice video
one more question bc i don't have a small hand planer.. What's a good brand to look for and if there are any features to look for as an advantage to wanting that on a planer? Thanks.
Interesting
Hi Brad!
The finished product looks super nice man! Im planning to make my own but i was wondering what type op roller did u use to get such a nice smooth finish?
Very nice addition to your bathroom! Curious, what are your thoughts on the mirk sander? I have seen mixed reviews and wondering how you feel. Thanks Brad, great video as well.
Good job. The cabinet is very nice, but its price is still expensive even though it is halved.
Agreed, could be bought from a store cheaper like ikea but you just know the wood used will just be shocking yet beautiful to the eye !
A bathroom vanity of that size and comparable build is $400 at Ikea. You can buy cheaper but, as he says, it'll be made of lower quality material and may not last as long. $300 for a solid plywood vanity is a fantastic price.
@@tiawilliams5690 Okie, maybe the price is different in my country and the other country, With $ 300 for a plywood cabinet then in my country it's a hefty price, for that money in my country can make very beautiful wardrobes or beds made entirely of wood. The cabinet in video like on its price is less than $ 100.
@@Dogo24h in the US, a vanity cabinet like this made of plywood can easily run $600-800, and honestly doesn't look this good in most cases
