Timber Bathroom Vanity 1 of 7

Kate Spencer

Year: 12
Freshwater Senior Campus, Freshwater, NSW
Teacher: Ben Percy, TAS

American oak, American walnut
1200 l x 420 w x 1045 h

To construct my Timber Bathroom Vanity, I developed skills using machinery such as the bandsaw, wood lathe, disk sander, dropsaw, thicknesser and domino joiner. I also developed hand skills throughout the construction of my timber vanity bowl such as chiselling and the use of various hand planes. A domino joint was used throughout the tabletop, carcase and bowl. The drawer bases were also veneered to add aesthetics. The most complicated component was by far the legs. The joint used was an angled bridle joint made using three different jigs, a router, chisels and a handplane before then being turned on the wood lathe with a slight taper as well. The technique used for the vanity bowl was coopering which I applied to the corners, also with a slight taper to it.
