Bathroom sink cabinet (unfinished)

[EdK]

Hi,
Nearly finished a bathroom undersink cabinet.
Roca sink - they wanted £600 for the official cabinet so I thought I'd have a go at making one.

Had some scrap maple and some scrap walnut - went with the walnut.

Construction was a bit unplanned but seems to have turned out.
Main criteria were:

1 - support for the sink
2 - some space in the cupboard for storing bathroomy stuff.

All made from offcuts and other people's scrap.

Got a PT before Christmas and made planing/thicknessing a little faster than going up the grades from scrub plane to smoothing plane!
Used the Domino XL for the joins.
Finished with 3 coats of osmo polyx matte as that is all I had to hand - not sure if that is a wise choice in a bathroom but might add another 3 coats over time....

Just need hinges (bit a-about-f about fitting the hinges but needed to support the sink...)

Cheers,
Ed

Wowers, I like that alot !! I did think the bathroom scales were the bottom of the sink at first glance :lol:

Ditto the scales looked like a plinth initially. Really nice cabinet. I like the floating effect.

Hi.

Nice looking cabinet.
A couple of questions if you don't mind. those rounded corners seem to have quite a large radius. are they veneered
or are they solid wood?
have you used bendy ply or is the radius moulded (ie machined/planed/rasped) ?

thanks

Thanks everyone - yes, stuff all over the bathroom. Tiling all done, plumbing all done, just need hinges for the cabinet doors and a door handle for the bathroom door (then the rest of the house needs work! Ha! Never ends).

@cerdeira : made this from offcuts from a friend who ran a carpentry business. No veneers. Solid wood - I just domino'd two sections together at right angles and then planed the radius down by hand - gauge lines - scrub plane - block plane - sand paper. Didn't take too long but think it worked out well - can't see the join too much.
Made these parts first as wasn't too sure about the design but in hind sight this was a bad idea as it was harder to clamp everything up with these large curves!

Thanks for looking - always good to get some opinions on something that you are not too sure about.
Cheers,
Ed

That looks the business, will you be doing anything with the waste pipe as that distracts IMHO
