How To: Bathroom Remodeling 19

Hand fabricating the granite vanity top. We had the tools, so why pay someone else? Do it the poor mans way. Sorry its not very imformative. I had to chop 3 minutes off the vid in order to process it thru my computer.

[@onediafields4606]

Now I can see why you decorated the walls the way you did. It matches the vanity top perfectly

[@dnahoghunter]

its pretty close, thanks

[@DIYApprentice]

The top turned out really nice - excellent job. Fortunately, I'm installing a new vanity with a granite top already fabricated, so I'm glad I don't have to do this. That looks like some serious custom work.

[@TXBucksnort]

Your bro makes it look so easy. No way I'd even attempt that. Looks great!

[@joshmarauder]

I do granite for a living install/fabrication...and ive been in business for very long.....yes this is the poor way to do it but if you gotta save money this is how you do it...only thing i didnt like was the rough sharp spots under the granite sink cutout....

[@freddytk421]

Nice work that looks awsome. I wish you showed a before of the bathroom. super good video.

[@mostafaalaaraake3712]

[@dnahoghunter]

Glad you liked it!!! Nope, didn't even think of that!!! I'll have to lok at the sinks at work and see if they do theirs too. Makes me curious. Makes perfect sence tho!!! Thanks for that tip!!!

[@lusjokastro]

o, yes, I agree with you. My comment doesn't intend to diminish your work, much on the contrary. You should protect your health to produce many many more of this very nice work. Congratulations.

Great job bud Im a finish carpenter of 15+ years and the only way I would do that job is if it was mine ya know great job buddy. Jason 5*

[@Cambria0001]

The smoke is caused by using too much hardener. The holes are too close to the sink for the faucet retaining rings which is why I believe this guy hates plumbing in his next video. Good solution for the large bowl is to order the standard bowl in the first place or pull the cab forward 3/8ths of an inch, plus you can belt sant the back of the rail if necessary to maintain strength. Also they make epoxy clips to mount the sinks, but it's the silicone which really holds the sink to the top. Notbad

[@LoneStarCreekRanch]

Nice job right there!! I would've been afraid to cut that stuff!! It's pretty expensive!! I kinda like that gap you let at the sink edge!! Pretty Cool!! OK, now you get to wash your hands!!! LOL!! 5&s!

[@dnahoghunter]

Jons a pro at it. I bought the grinder wheels and pads a few years back when we did the master bath at my house.

[@jtbmetaldesigns]

A lot of grinder work! You guys are pros!

[@cesarm.gonzalez2663]

not pros at all. sink is all chipped up, used wrong blade for cutting the sink, he called bullnose finished what seemed more like a 3/8 - 5/8 bevel edge... etc 😣

[@GodHatesXbox]

+Cesar M. Gonzalez hahahahah I agree so much Not to be a dick but this is the worst shit I've ever seen.

[@TheGoose428]

Use white out correction marker. No more tape :). To mount the sink, install top, then put silicone around the brim of the sink. Then lay a 2\4 across the sink hole then take a bar clamp and run it through the drain, pick the sink up into place tighten clamp up to the board the get u two 1"1/4 boards about 8" long and get on your back and screw them into the sides of the cabinets under the sink , one on each side. Done takes 5 mins tops. Try it

[@halouanimohamed3780]

Hi good job, pls what is the name of the paste glue use ???

[@mmmsss959]

umywalka wklejona na sztukę.będzie problem gdy wilgoci naciągnie granit żywica odejdzie od kamienia pod wpływem wody i umywalka spadnie .umywalkę należy montować na specjalnych zaczepach i kołkach rozporowych zamontowanych w kamieniu klej montażowy na umywalkę od wewnątrz silikon

[@alldifficult]

Очень интересная работа. Удачи и дальнейших успехов. Very interesting work. Good luck and success.

[@dnahoghunter]

alldifficult thank you

[@dnahoghunter]

we've done 2 bathrooms this way. It worked great and you cant tell unless you feel the edges. I cant afford to have them milled. I now have all his granite tools...

[@noelmayorga142]

La intencion es la que cuenta. pero a este muchacho le faltan unos cuantos tips para hacer mas rapido y mas economico el gasto de herramienta. pero sigue adelante la practica hace al maestro.

[@nosweatyet]

Planning to rebath that old tub...here is a time saving tip for removing that old bath tub drain. This job has previously been difficult even for a plumber but not anymore. This amazing new bath tub drain exZtractor will have the job done in minutes and a sparkling new drain installed. Want more information go to ezXtractor website.

[@dnahoghunter]

CNC costs lots of $... the finish was very good, you can't see that. And no, the basin worked fine and still does. Thanks for the comment

[@markvietti]

John looks like a badass!

[@dnahoghunter]

I lost ya, I think you are saying the sink mount will give out. It wont. All granit places in Texas do it this way. Its been 2 years plus I have 4 sinks done like this, no problems at all. Thanks for the comment!

[@joshmarauder]

You can see it at 2:34..but good work guys you saved about 400-600 on that vanity....

[@djsonfire0001]

white out pen works great for drawing shape of template to granite😉

[@AaronGman]

WOW that came out nice. tell John i said good job..; hes really good with that cutter/grinder

[@dnahoghunter]

Me either!!! Jon led the way and did the work. I managed the backsplash after.

[@emmanuelwilliams2350]

outstanding job, and a diffident pro !!!! but please wear a breather buddy. those compounds will sit in your lungs for years and come back to haunt you later in life.

[@dnahoghunter]

Emmanuel Williams yeah true

[@TheGoose428]

I do this for a living. Man that is the hard way to do it. My guys do it the old fashioned way but you never mount the sink like that. Good work but I could do that top in 2 hrs.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Very nice cutting and polishing work! What is the name of the 'hardener' glue? Did not catch that. Why is it hot? The only problem with the wide rim, is the bacteria which will grow underneath like the toilet bowl rims. But I did not think of the splash back protection, smart! Why not invest in a $315 Makita Wet Grinder with hose attachment? Looks like it would be useful for your work and free up the guy holding the water bottle or risk of electrocution.

[@xiamenhigh-techdiamondtool3863]

very helpful video. Good job!

[@javier2378]

veo que el operario ha hecho un master en prevencion de riesgos laborales. Lo milagroso es que aún conserve todos los dedos

[@freddytk421]

I didn't jump on your channel right away remember. hey I'm going to link this video in my new grinder one.

[@mortalfranco346]

Hermano para que no gaste tanto mastique cuando vayas a pegar el lavamano, te recomiendo que uses malla de fibra con resina, creeme que te va a rendir mas, es mas economico y pega mas duro..

[@abidbashir8582]

Use safeguard of grander it's best for safety nice job

[@dnahoghunter]

@TruthIsSalvation All the tools are my bros! I wouldnt have a clue. Hes the pro at the granite!

[@dnahoghunter]

Cool!!! I traded some cabinet knob instalation labor in trade for that slab. It was a rough table top.

[@dnahoghunter]

@Cambria0001 didnt use silicone to hold the sink. My Bro does grnaite all day long, they always use the fiberglass epoxy to old the sink in. Yeah, I know what caused the extra smoke. Thanks for watching

[@dnahoghunter]

its and adjustable... I couldnt say on the wheels, my bro has them, they were his. He used about every grinder and buff pad from rough to smooth

[@dnahoghunter]

He's did 2 sink tops for my master bath, thats the only other bath remodel I've done. He's done many of the tops...works for a granite company.

[@paulmeyer1850]

I've been doing Granite for 15 years and if we cut sink outs like that I would have quit in my first week where is your Contour blade

[@spaisee]

Like this way, but abbrasive water beam CNC machining is not that expensive... :) But you did this like a pro, pragmatic way. Thumbs up.

[@tonychianese6050]

I am guessing John is a pro and does this for a living

[@dnahoghunter]

NEVER mount the sink like that? Over 1/2 of the house built have sinks like this.They do them all the time. thanks for the comment

[@TruthIsSalvation]

dnahoghunter you should have installed the taps to the granite top bfore placing onto the vanity units ... may have made it a little easier. Can you tell me what size is your granit slap and how much did it cost? What is that hardner you used? Great posting great work you are tha MAN!

[@DANIELGONZALEZ503]

Siempre al Usar el Angle Grinder, es necesario Usar la proteccion para el disco. Si no lo hace se tendran consecuencias muy negativas se puede perder un ojo o partirse la cara literalmente en dos con el disco si llegara a quebrarse...saludos.

[@brightstonemarbleandgranit3722]

Daniel Gonzalez yo lo corto en 5min con ago esto por 30 años estos son principiantes mi ayudante tiene 1 año y lo ase mejo

[@joelcalix565]

good job. but if u get the right blade to do the sink u will do it a lot faster. a vanity like that take one hour to do it or less

[@dnahoghunter]

+Joel Calix we only did 3 total. all done now

[@jerrymarquez2577]

I can have it done in 20 minutes

[@dnahoghunter]

Where ya been Freddy??? theres 18 befores!!! LOL Thanks. This one was a pain to export.

[@dnahoghunter]

He does make it look easy. Its back breaking labor tho.

[@Garciamrcool]

[@fetocontagioso]

Good job. You should have put less drying in fiberglass.

[@skeeter101010]

[@daniel64padilla]

[@Shopnsavemart]

Very informative, thanks for sharing the video!

[@TrabajosL3on]

👍👍

[@hsanz1]

Creo que hacer un vídeo para mostrar como no se ha de utilizar nunca, y digo NUNCA una amoladora está bien. La protección está para algo.

[@dennisjamison589]

quick bond is better and to cut a round a diche blade is best

[@skarrob]

Good job on the remodel. 5*****

[@alien4fish]

Dang brother that came really nice

[@dnahoghunter]

alien4fish thank you

[@SteveZussou]

Nice work, great job!

[@fracwilt]

man that looks great! i'd be too scared of breaking it, LOL! how much did that slab weigh?

[@paulmeyer1850]

Where is your flexible back or you're only polishing with the very tip of your pads on this thing cut up those pads will only last for that cut out

[@JesusvonNazaret]

good job, it looks nice

[@gafbo]

Very cool..can you tell me what Makita you're using and the type of blades and pads?

[@dnahoghunter]

Ive seen it done both ways, thanks!

[@franciscobolanos8337]

when you add too much hardner to the apoxy it cracks easily when it gets too hot like that, you can tell

[@howiboy]

Good sh%t bro, love videos like this

[@gregoriogutierrez343]

Y el play wood y para aser los hoyos de las llaves se saca el centro y de la orilla del acabado deles 3pulgadas porque no pulieron la parte de abajo tampoco aplicaron calquin para shower
