Hey friends, let's build a single sink bathroom vanity cabinet from cedar and birch plywood!
This design was built to coordinate (it doesn't exactly MATCH, of course) with the double sink vanity build I shared a few years back.
This video is packed full of tips, thoughts on design choices, and some peeks at the shop pets. So I hope you enjoy it :)
