Follow along as we uncover the beautiful process of turning rough walnut boards into stunning custom vanities! Walnut is a common favorite among most spectators as well as myself. I can't think of a better wood to install in a massive bathroom. I use many interesting methods and tools in this video so here are some links for you...

Man, you’re good. I mean, amazingly good. My goodness!!!

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

I very much appreciate it. I learned using KZbin. So long story short, keep learning and keep watching!

[@CorbinMusso88]

I find it so cool to see, after watching your newer videos in the big shop, where you came from. What a blessing.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Yep! Thank you. Everything started in a small garage.

[@decuevas244]

Been watching you the last 6 hrs. There's never a problem hold attention from a veteran woodworker/carpenter. I appreciate your content, craftsmanship, and journey through life, which we are bound to until our last breath. Great job in All of it!!! I was watching this video, and your veneering of the "tower". I thought this would be an appropriate time to Introduce your platform to an old nautical technique called "tick sticking" it's a beautiful, almost poetic way of measuring any inset without a tape measure. Just 2 pieces of wood which can be random. That's all one needs to measure to a scary precise piece of wood "housed" in any position. If you're not familiar with this technique, I wood highly advise you to look it up, and practice it. It will only add to your deep knowledge of the trade!!! Thank you for bringing us into your journey through life! It's a privilege and honor to watch! 66carpenter

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you so much! That's very kind. I use that 2 stick idea once in a while these days. I appreciate your comment!

Such a harmonious video all the way down to the music. Great and inspiring video!

Thanks for subscribing!

[@joeyr4869]

Absolutely beautiful! The further along you got the more stressed I felt so I can’t imagine your relief when those cabinets were finished. Truly a master craftsmen!

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you so much. This one was a stressful one but had exceptional payoff. Thanks for watching!

[@mattelias721]

Coffee machine near the toilet - *chef's kiss* Great work, dude. Your level of accuracy and detail is great - I didn't notice you making many relative measurements at all.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thanks, it was the customers idea for the coffee maker. I reference a 3d model for measurements, but I don't share many measurements in the video because it tends to complicate things. If enough people ask, I will start producing plans for sale

[@mattelias721]

@@FortressFineWoodworks I'm sure you'll get there on plan sales! My measurement comment's context was to the idea that cabinetry needs to hit measurements, while a lot of other woodworking can be all relative. Probably why I kinda suck at cabinetry.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Very true, cabinets have to fit in locations. Just another variable

[@christineadams7152]

Just when I thought it couldnt get any better you added the pull out for the coffee maker. So thoughtful! Then the stop blocks on the bottom of the toe kick was genius. Having kids and a bunny, I could see all kinds of things getting under and behind the cabinets. Heck yea I subscribed.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you! The reason I enjoy woodworking is because I can create practical solutions to things

[@reaper060670]

So is this ur home ur working on bro or is it a job u got commissioned to do bcos u said something about not being able to afford to make any mistakes on this work?? U are immense my G.. This is so beautiful a piece of work. I;ve only just begun my woodworking but I hope to reach this zenith of workmanship one day in the next 4-5 years.. Absolutely stunning work man,,

[@keyfrontpropertiesllc3472]

Talk about quality, wow! You're not a carpenter - you're an artist. And the music is so soothing & therapeutic. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you, truly. I appreciate you watching. Waiting for your videos...

[@firedude5135]

So glad I discovered your channel, the detail and workmanship is FLAWLESS.

Bonjour, Très belle réalisation comme à chaque fois 👍

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@photojed]

Just finished binge watching all your videos, beautiful work and certainly enjoy your presentations. I have a feeling your channel will grow quickly. I'm looking forward to watching more of your skillful work. 👍

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thanks! I'm putting an unfathomable amount of work into getting better at producing videos so I hope my channel grows fast. But I will be patient

[@jbb5470]

Amazing transformation! Just love the detail you included in this upgrade, very tastefully done! I would love to be able to build like this, Simply Beautiful! Thank you for posting.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Please let this inspire you because you can do it if you start learning! Thank you

[@ASCP67AUS]

Wonderful video. Brilliant workmanship, thanks for the in depth overview. Very detailed.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

I appreciate it. Really. Subscribe and stay tuned.

[@rickpopp8634]

I'm really impressed with your woodworking skills and video production quality. I'm thinking you're the only KZbinr that I've seen, who puts such thought into the final reveal, even the music is special. Speaking of music that last piece is phenomenal. would you mind sharing name of song and artist?

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

I truly thank you for such great compliments. A lot of my skill was once learned from KZbin and I'd like to say I'm giving back now :) The song for the final reveal is called "d.st piano dramatic cinematic mp3" from audiojungle It's royalty free music

[@rickpopp8634]

thanks for such a prompt reply! Im a big music collector and just purchased that song on audio jungle, so thanks again. I'm not sure how long you've had your channel but, I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. I bought an old 1901 built farm home , 3 stories that needs a lot of work in all areas. this is my second video of yours and you've helped inspire me to get moving and do most of the work myself.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

That's honestly why I create content for you all. Thank you for watching and I hope your projects keep you inspired and motivated!

[@makosharksimmo8124]

Good job

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you!

[@neisendesign]

What a transformation! Beautifully thought out cabinet! This video was edited nicely as well! Great job, One question, what sheen did you use with that conversion varnish? I'm about to make a walnut table myself and would love to get those kind of results!

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you. This sheen is around 25 (dull rubbed). I have a conversion varnish shootout video if you want to watch it. Please be aware, this varnish has a thickness limit or it will crack

[@decuevas244]

As far as the miter on the base, left side, what if you cut the top at 90° so the left side piece, grainwise, butted straight into the left side piece? Not sure that even made sense. It would add to the stress and thought process, but it would almost look like the entire base was carved out of the same piece! Great job on the book matching of the base, regardless of what I suggested! 66carpenter

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

That's a pretty good idea! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and provide feedback!

[@jamesmoore1532]

Nice work. It will be interesting to see how your skills grow as you learn. On a custom inset job I would have built that as 3 cabinets. When they get over 8' remember to make sure they can make any turns. If you continue as a one man shop your goal should be looking for 1,500-2,000 sq ft space.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

The tower had to be one cabinet because the doors are inset, the frames are exposed, a full length frame is much more high end. That's the difference between a custom builder and a cabinet shop. Hoping to build my shop bigger soon, thanks for the tips.

[@hazembata]

Nice build.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you, there's more coming!

[@jbb5470]

Have to ask, where did you find the counter top / sink that you installed! I like the clean lines. Thank you!

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

This is a quartz countertop installed by our granite guy. The sinks are always found somewhere online

[@kevphil4841]

Very nice, that toe kick looks great. Why do your frames overhang instead of flushing them so the cabinets can mate together? Just wondering cause I've never seen that before..

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you! Some cabinets like the tower are built deeper to create depth, and serve as a place for the overhanging countertop to die into.

[@kevphil4841]

Sorry what I meant was your frames are wider then the boxes and when you screwed them together there are spaces between the boxes, what is the purpose of doing it this way?

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Great question. It offers room for me to move the backside of the box side to side to make sure it is square with the front. So drawers always work correctly. This also ensures the frames are always tight and don't get disrupted by the boxes pushing against eachother

[@guaranteedV]

Beautiful craftsmanship and great video. I'm curious, what is your sprayer setup? Keep them coming! *subscribed*

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Thank you, I very much appreciate your time, check out my newest video too if you haven't already. My sprayer setup is an earlex sprayport turbine, with an apollo A7700-gt-600 spray gun. I recommend the gun for any turbine system

[@biglav6048]

Well executed video! What type and HP router you running for the bigger bits?

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Im using the standard porter cable router that everyone uses in their router lifts. Thank you for watching!

12:19 or a veneer saw. :)

That would surely help

[@StefanoLBP]

You guys have coffee machine inside the bathroom?😮

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Yes those customers do. Very fancy

[@MissLovesOrange88]

What’s the benefit of silicone as a glue vs standard wood glue?

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

Silicone will adhere to non porous surfaces (almost any surface actually) while would glue is really only good for wood to wood contact

[@jkellysc]

Looks amazing! Do you have any plans available for purchase? I am in the planning stage of master bath remodel and I think these cabinets would be perfect for our space.

[@FortressFineWoodworks]

I appreciate you asking, thank you. Right now I don't have plans until my channel gains more momentum and views. If you have any specific questions you can email me. [e-mail] Thanks for watching!

Thanks a ton! Most of my projects are for customers of my company. This project was a high budget project and if I had problems with the finish, it would truly suck.
