However, the one photo in the listing was not enough to inform me of the fact that the two sides of the vanity were two different heights. My initial thought when I saw this was to just not buy it, but I'm very glad that I did because it forced me to think outside the box and come up with a solution that I'm honestly quite proud of :) - Andy ---------- Products used in this video: Dowel Pin Markers: https://amzn.to/3tI0GOK Varathane Gel Stain (Chocolate): https://amzn.to/3ieOezY Tung Oil: https://amzn.to/3ElcPxY Brasso Metal Polish: https://amzn.to/3ZowpmT Milwaukee Oscilating Tool: https://amzn.to/413n5WJ ---------- Follow me on Instagram to see more makeovers that you won't see here on YouTube: https://www.instagram.com/modern.makeovers My clothing store: https://modernmade.shop

I wanted to throw in a twist though, and I figured what better way than to take some free pallet wood to dump some very expensive epoxy onto. Being my first epoxy table, there were some inevitable mistakes made along the way. Some things I should have done differently: 1. The individual planks had some warping, especially after burning. I should have tied the boards together with some inlays on the bottom or domino joints to create one flat board prior to burning. This would have made it easier to control the warping. 2. I planed off too much depth with the router when I was flattening the table. This put a lot of strain on the router bit, and I also accidentally cut into a part of the table where the wood was sticking up higher than the rest. 3. Ideally, I should have done a coat of table top epoxy on top of the deep pour epoxy. This would create a more durable outer coat. This was definitely a challenging project for me, but I learned SO much. I'd love to know what you think about this kind of project, since it is a different concept than my usual furniture makeover/restoration videos.

I tried my best to resist the urge to modify the piece since it had plenty of character as is, but I just had to add those two little drawers inside the shelving unit; they add so much functionality to an otherwise bland bottom slot, in my opinion. I wanted to use a scraper to get rid of the paint as much as I could, but the drawer and most of the body didn't allow for this. The grain directions on the veneer covering most of this piece were vertical, and scraping perpendicular to the grain would certainly cause at least some damage to the thin veneer. For this reason, stripper was the way to go for removing the paint, after which sanding would do the final cleanup.

I actually didn't mind the color that it was painted in, but it definitely needed a refresh, so I had to strip it clean. I think the top originally had a shelving or display unit, which would explain why there was a big section of the top that wasn't painted.

If you've seen my other makeovers, you'll know that I've done a few 'faux' drawer projects where I create the illusion of there being more drawers than there really is; this time, I had 30 real drawers to work on. This was quite the time consuming process, from cutting them all to the same length, sanding off the paint, smoothing all the edges, and cleaning the insides. However, time consuming does not necessarily mean difficult. The real challenge of this project was in cutting the body's depth down from 28 inches to 21 inches. I actually went out and purchased a reciprocating saw to accomplish this; I don't know if there may have been a better way, but after a lot of contemplation, that's the method I landed on. The cuts didn't turn out the cleanest -- at least not clean enough for me to want to present it as the front of the piece -- so I resorted to taking off the back panel and electing that as the new front of the piece, while covering up the side that I had just butchered. If you enjoyed this makeover, please do me a favor and like the video. And if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer your comments.
