Making basin/sink out of plywood

Making another plywood basin! I made the double one in the main bathroom just before I started with the youtube channel and always regreted not filming that one, so here we go with another!

Nooo, you can’t put a work of art like that in a chip board carcass 😱. Really nice work thanks for sharing

[@aucomint]

Cutting then sanding, glueing then sanding, routing then sanding, varnishing then sanding, varnishing again then sanding, varnishing once more then sanding, sanding then water sanding... Man, this guy did a crazy job and unsurprisingly the result is astonishing. Respect!

[@mattking1724]

An amazing piece of woodworking craftsmanship set onto a piece of IKEA particle board cabinet. wow.

[@DJlegionuk]

when you're amazed at the amount of work that went into the first and then you bust out the big double sink, that was just plain old showing off. Amazing as always.

How durable do you think the laquered finish be in the event of a dropped safety razor or similar? Just occurred to me it might not take the punishment that porcelain does.

@@stevejohnson1685 The only person sitting squarely on that toilet is a double amputee.

[@gth042]

Based on the look around the house, the only way to do that is go back to using an outhouse or ditch the sink. My guess is application of modern building regs would result in mass demolition of that area. Besides, maybe the don't poo over there? :)

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Amazing sink, looks stunning. Little design flaw with the toilet : too close to the wall. When sitting down, your right leg is hitting the towel warmer, or even if it wasn't here, the wall. I hate when toilets are flush against a wall like that =( No room to spread and do your business in style.
