Vanity Unit

Started to build a vanity unit this week.
A fairly simple design, I just building a desk type unit in an alcove (which I'll later add doors to) and a shelving unit above.
 

Routing the housings to hold the shelves

 For the shelving unit I housed in all the shelves using the little Bosch router. This was the only way of doing it as the unit had to be assembled in it final place, as things like architrave being in the way prevented me from lifting it in as one. Also housing the shelves in makes the unit much stronger than just being screwed.

There will be doors fitted on the bottom section

 This was all made out of sapele again. Still not my favourite wood in the world, but it's a strong hardwood and ideal if it's going to be painted like this is.

A solid set of shelves

So vain

Last week i made a vanity unit for a customer insitu. The room is built with one sloping wall and a whole host of pipes behind it, so a brought in unit wouldn't do.

I had to make it out of ply and MDF with a softwood frame, the ply as some of it was to be tiled and the MDF for the painted areas. The customer changed her mind 7 times whilst I was making it though, she couldn't decide what to have as a top. in the end she decided against kitchen worktop (luckily). Bit of a nightmare but we got there in the end!

Now with a lick of paint I'm quite pleased with it, I really like their choice of painting the doors white.
