MBR Vanity

I love this forum. We really are like family. The cell phone tends to make color corrections. If I turn more or less lights on the color looks more correct.

As Vaughn stated, the front and sides have arcs. The back is straight. In a few days I hope to have an assembled pic. LOML and I need to pic her out a wall mirror and a pedestal magnifying mirror. Her old mag mirror is really old and uses a candelabra style incandescent. As we age we need more light. The newer mirrors with the LEDs can be dimmed or brightened.

I missed a spot of finish along an edge of the top. A new razor blade makes a nice mini-scraper to remove the excess finish. The area blends in when I buff out the overall piece.

When a piece is a little large for the adjustable height tables I clamp them together with pieces of scrap.

This lets even a skinny old stroker like me tip the casework up onto the tables safely.

I use wedges to make the tables level and coplaner. Every house has crooked walls and floors but when setting drawers I like everything to be true to Mother Earth.

I can deal with the actual installed position later.

I keep a shoe box of shims and wedges handy. The level is self explanatory. The weird white thing is some gadget my mother in law had to help her move items in the home. I keep it in a corner of the shop and use it to raise things like the tables to slide wedges under.

Nice and level.

I use the same spacers I used to set the back slats to set the spacing on the drawer fronts (1/8").

I use figure 8 connectors to attach the top and we end up here.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
 
It never ocurred to me that one could use a ROS fixed vertically like a normal disc sander, I would assume that it needs to somewhat "float" on top of your work. You just gave me another idea Glenn!

I use it primarily for small irregularly shaped items like box and drawer pulls. When you have a bunch to do it is faster than hand sanding and on highly figured woods it leaves a more pleasing surface IMHO.
