Pics Double Vanity- a few firsts

[Gail O'Rourke]

Hi, here is a double vanity for a client. It was my first *beaded face frame, *inset doors/drawers.

Also, because of the order of my lumber delivery, I made the face frame first and casework second. Which was a nice way to mix it up and I settled a couple layout questions in the process.

This client is also a contractor, he will be painting this piece and will be picking it up today to do that and install. Nice to not do the finish, but I did clearcoat the inside for him. dimensions 23 1/2 by 33 by 64

Very nice work

That beaded detail looks quite nice.

That's a really great looking job Gail, the beading came out really nice. The client should be very happy.

Nice job

[Jim Becker]

Very nice, Gail. Great work like this will continue to bring you more work in the future, especially if this contractor is kewel with giving you referals.

Gail,

Great looking vanity...

Thanks everyone, The drawers are 1/2 ply with applied drawer fronts similar to Frank Pellows post. A note about that, I apply the fronts by holding them in place and having my husband shoot brads from the back into the front and then securing them on with screws. But I like Franks method also and will keep it in mind for the future.

Another thing that I wanted to show was the hinges for the doors. I favor the fexibility and adjustability of the european hinges. These are inset hinges for face frames, you won't find them in hardware stores. I buy my hinges from a supplier, Richelieu - it is a 120 degree hinge with a face frame mounting plate.

Here is a picture.

Yea, these puppies are harder to find...I got some from Rockler a few years ago, but I think even they don't carry the same ones anymore.

Nice work Gail. Better watch out, you might be getting so much work you won't be able to keep up.

Your husband is small enough to get inside the drawer to shoot the brads? That is handy.

Gail,

The gaps on your inset doors and drawers look nice and even. Good job. You finish 3 or 4 projects before I finish one.

Nicely done Gail. I've always found beaded details really add a craftmanship detail to pieces, and you've executed it very well.
