I was asked to make a makeup vanity here it is :D. One thing I didn't think to mention, which I saw in the comments, it could also be used as a desk. Add me on: instagram.com/morediycreators/
With few "little" adjustments.... we can make it in MANS table! :D
And ofc....secret compartment for the big guns. Like cordless drill or some thing like that. As alweys, love the projects, and keep the good work. :D
DIY Creators okay I am following you on Instagram but I must tell you I have some awesome ideas when I used to work for a company and I totally forgot but I think it would be great for you to do and make money on the side just my thoughts my ideas the place I used to work for is in Pennsylvania I currently live in Tampa Florida but did my work via computer for three years until the owners decided to sell it I was not moving back to Pennsylvania I should have because I made the company $3000000 in six months
DIY Creators yoooo can you tell me how you learn to do all this!!! How did you get so good at the precision and attention to detail as well?
DIY Creators i think you should have painted the vanity lid gloss black. That would have gone so well with the legs.
Would you ever consider selling some of these items? I'm sure a lot of people would want to buy something
Don't let these cheap bastards get you down. I love what you do and if you have to sell the plans to recoop some of the costs for these project that YOU create then I really don't see the problem. I would have went a different way with the wood/paint combo on this particular project. It seems that the natural wood center clashes too hard with the paint and makes it look, well, unfinished. Maybe if you were not so good painting or used crappy legs it would look different. But as you said, it all comes down to personal preference on the finish. Keep up the good work!
I really like this! I would make a second one as a minimalist computer desk, his and hers set. Instead of a mirror and lights, it would have a monitor and speakers. The guts could be put in one of the side boxes with a fan blowing downwards and the other side could hold cameras, memory sticks, or anything else that usually gets lost in a normal computer desk. Once done using the computer, just close the lid and it's a stylish table.
That is an excellent idea.
Half a million subs? wow glen, i wish i could have bought stock in you last year. keep it up brother.
Haha Thanks, Mike!
Now I have to reconstruct this for my girlfriend. Thanks: D Best regards MrHandwerk
It's so funny you uploaded this because my husband and I made the PVC dog shower and it was an awesome experience we bonded a lot and made something so useful for our babies and we were looking for another project. I love this hopefully it comes out as amazing as yours did. Thanks for the great videos
That's cool, glad to hear that. I hope the building continues :)
JXENVYX if you're on instagram, so is DIY Creators! You should tag in your post so I can see too! That's super cool!
Awesome work, Glen. This turned out great, I bet your lady is super happy with it!
Thanks, man! I'm home alone this week so she didn't even see the finished results in person.
You are killing it with your projects! I'm always stoked when you post a new video.
Thanks, men! I appreciate it :)
Great idea to make for a gift. your videos are very well explained. From Panama, waiting for the next video.
Thank you :).
Soft closing hinges on your next build 👍👍👍👍
omg this is just so satisfying to watch .. i don't know why am i even here? i don't own a freakin hammer 😂😂 i can't attach a wall shelf .. but i just enjoy how professional these videos are 😍
Thank you. :D Much appreciated
Great built! So what similar I will build in my workshop for my laptop. Greetings from my channel
I'm already in the middle 😄
Thank you
Looks great. but would need discipline to keep the top clear of stuff in order to access the side storage boxes. I think I would do it with drawers on the sides so at least you can still access the storage when things are laid out on the table
Can you make Corner Desk or L shape desk please!!
man i cant get the plans ...any help will be appreciated
Wow you're so talented!! Can I pay you to pre-built? I'll never be able to build this but this vanity is exactly what I want 😭
Great build!! I really appreciate how you show alternative ways to build everything if you don't have a specific tool!
Could you please come and live with me and make things for me everyday!!?? You have great videos!
My girlfriend has been wanting one and this was perfect. Thanks buddy.
*It looks so good! Love this video!!* 💖
I recycled old things to make chokers on my channel and I would love to see ur feedback!
Awesome video and really concise and clear explanation. Really refreshing channel in the genre, thanks!!
Alright Glen, yet another nice and detailed video, keep the level up!
I'll add some "critics" (as always: rather second thoughts on my terms ^^) and an idea for videos like that afterwards.
About the build:
I was first wondering about the positioning of the bulb-equipment. You routed that out (naturally a good idea), but why not a little more, like adding depth into the wood? Just by routing, lets say an inch or two more to a degree, you could add some depth to the look (its a vanity after all ^^). also, I understand the design decision, but perhaps a touch of color would have fit here too. No less, I was also wondering second here, if this area couldn't be without paint and instead be marked by some kind of mirroring foil (around the depth) so that the "mirroring size" itself is enlarged.
As for the mirror myself - as soon as it gets scratches or breaks to some part (e.g. hair dryer flying into it), you need to physically break it out. Why not a 'simple' screw-in holder? Or, perhaps - with some extra effort - a mirror on a guiding pole, that allows to be moved back and forth (e.g. like a pipe that goes vertically in the middle behind the mirror and that alows for it to move in a certain angle), so that the person using the desk can actually push it to the sides as needed. Not to mention a "slide into the background" function, in case it stands not (!) against a wall... and many other options...
Also, I was a little worried about the structural integrity of the desk. Consider a person holding her elbows and her upper body on it, would it still stand? I am not entirely sure of the strength of the wood, so perhaps a little bit more extra stability might be necessary, for some users at least. ^^
The side chests almost scream for an additional video called "additional compartment options for the vanity" :D
As for the video itself:
I was wondering, if you ever decide to build something bigger (in terms of time spent to build it, not necessarily dimensions) like a dining-room wardrobe, with all the open shelves for dishes, cabinets for the cutlery, design options, details etc... (or a whole series where you also add the table, chairs etc. in one fitting style for a whole room), you might want to split the video into multiple parts. Just add a little of your face and commentary, talking about issues and solutions, the material you used or problems that might occur if others copy it. What inspired you to build it (reasons) and so on... the length will always come up to this video, but due to the complexity, a multi-part-series keeps your viewers just as much at attention, as this. Plus: Bigger projects call for more creativity to unleash...
Just my two cents worth of oppinion as always.
Oh, how about a kids-toy-box next, or something like that? Have fun building!
Hey Sir!! can you build a Compiter desk?? for me?
been watching all your videos instead of makeup tutorials.i love your videos!
Come to Dublin,Ireland and Make Me one please :p
Love it! :-)
so crazy that you are posting this, i literally woke up this morning with the plan to build one and i was about to search it and alerted
lol, Great timing.
Your design aesthetic is always on point. Nice build.
I just found this and I'm so e
Happy i subscribed and liked your video I love crafts and i think I'm gonna make this eventually for my room. I love the design too 😊. Thank you
Another brilliant video, seems every project you make is amazing, not going to lie im a bit jealous :P. Cant wait to see what you come up with next !
Thank you, lol don't be you can do it too.
:) thanks
I love these Videos. I personally don´t need a Makeup Vanity, but still this is interesting to watch. I hope you never stop making these Videos! Keep it up!
How difficult would it be to add some drawers underneath?
Any tips for the actual wood cutting?
I know your wife loves this!! What a great design =D
I hope so :). Thank you.
Omg! I really love your work. I just can’t stop watching all the DIY’s you did!! Keep it up. #Respect.
Always amazed by how much effort you put into your videos!
Thank you.
Haha he tapping the neighbor
WHAT! 541k subs? Man your growing so fast!, i subbed back when you had 7k subs, cant belive you got so big in sutch a short time. Keep up the awesome work! Greeting from the netherlands
This is so gorgeous. I would be afraid of putting on my make up at it, in case I spilt something and messed it up! Beautiful design, as always.
Thank you lol
This is exactly what I was looking for . Thanks !!
Glenn you know I'm going to say something I absolutely love this but I have some ideas I totally forgot what I used to do for a living it only dawned on me as I was sitting here watching you do this and I smell the smell of wood I took shop class I took industrial Arts also took motor class how many girls do that and home a child that's a military brat God bless you and your hands but I have some things I would like to share with you if you hit me back up I will hit you with my email address then you will see what I'm talking about God bless you peace be with you I'm going to rewatch this one again
Great project! I'm going to try to build this for my eldest, I think she will love it!
So your style. Modern and clean. Awesome build and it can double as a desk for people in tight spaces.
Yep I like it cleans and simple. Thank you. I agree :)
after all this time,,there it is and that was good bro! i like how the top folds up/down..havent ever used them but i like the hair pin legs on this one too👍. i bet the plans took a while to make..
Yes, everything took longer than I hoped but hey it's here. Thanks man!
DIY Creators "slow amd steady wins the race" or how about "better late then not at all" 👍👍
True that!
You definitely have to be my favourite DIYer! ;)
I always make the Air Nailer sound when I watch videos like these.
lol, that one went over my head :)
Eco Mouse pew pew pew
Hello just wanted to say I learn something everytime I watch one of your videos, DIY CREATORS is one of the first channels that I have watched fro a long time now and that has inspired me to create my own channel and start sharing my projects especialy vanities which Is what I have made in several styles come check them out after you watch a few episodes of Diy Creators, Thanks!
I LOVE it... Request??? Homework desk... video game set up for chargers and controls...headgear? I don't know just throwing it out there. 😀
As always, I am impressed. You make it look so simple.
Dude, I'm dying over here. The word is pronounced "specific" not "pacific"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside, I really love your vanity!
”Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it) is a fantastic book about wood working. I am a graduate of a one-year carpentry program from a local tech college. Of all the books I have read during my study about woodworking, I do think this is the best book I have read so far. It explains everything concerning woodworking and complements it with useful images. .
what would be real cool is if you used receptacles with USB plug ins.
All of the skills to make a vanity but the diy girl can still make a better looking vanity simply by stopping at Lowes and Michaels..
wooooowww!!!!!....its awesome mr Glen....you gave me an idea to make one as a gift for my girlfriend
@ DIY Creators, I made a plywood desk and would like to have a smooth finish instead of seeing the grain. I considered covering it all in joint compound. I believe you’ve shared that trick in one of your desk videos. Has the joint compound held up nicely to this date? No cracking, etc...? Thanks
That finish, on the junction box, is beautiful.
How far from the margin you drilled the holes for the hinge cups? It looks to me they're a little too far, but still it look like the covers are closing just fine so i'm just a little curious about that.
Really enjoying the content on your channel!
So my grandpa died a while back but left me a few copies of a magazine called "Leatherneck" which is a military magazine. The copies are from WW2 and I want to build a display frame or two but not sure where to start. I wanted the frame to look vintage since magazines are quite old and classic. Also wanted to illuminate the magazines inside of the frame. Wondering if you have a build that could capture just that?
Hey, about how much did it cost for all the supplies? I really want to build this but I want to know how much it will cost :)
so crazy!! Have anyone try the DIY SmartDesk Kit from Autonomous?
Awesome tutorial. Plywood comes in sheets? What quantity is needed. Thanks.
Beautiful work man.. Someones got a happy girlfriend
So I bought the plans for this but it doesn't mention the dimensions for the plywood that was used. I'm sure an experienced wood worker could look at the plans and figure it out but I'm a noob. Does anyone know how big the piece of plywood is? At this point I'm probably just going to cave and buy two of them.
Thistle is excellent attention to detail I was like this is exquisite Only negative thing I can say was the mirror not having safety backing and that’s because I cut all my fingers on my right hand for working with glass/mirrors. But other than that very nice.
Glen, my oldest daughter would love this. Great design. I like that it closes up. That would hid a lot of the mess that her makeup area becomes. I'm going to consider building this very seriously.
You are too artistic brother. I always watch your videos and enjoyed every piece of work. It's inspirational and motivating at the same time. I always try to do some pieces of art work but my problem is mixing spray painting, how do you go about it!
I love your work, man, great creativity and what an awesome finishings, thumbs up from México mi hermano
Why are you restricting access to all your design plan for people not leaving in the US?
Fantastic build! Sadly, like so many things in over-legislated Australia where I live, it's illegal to build things involving mains power, unless you're a licensed electrician.
The mains wall socket/dimmer on a free-standing object would be a big red-flag for the powers that be.... so sad. America has its share of issues, but DIY is sooooo much easier over there. I'd have to mount a 240v extension board, then make a 12v lighting system, probably using light filters to put some yellow in the white. Your design is so much cleaner and easier to implement :)
Thank you. That's very interesting. We have 120v for most things. I can under the concern 240v is nothing to play with.
Good Job Man! Your talents are amazing!
Thank you
I'll save this one till I have a fallout with wifey then build this, she'll forgive me in no time.
Great job ;-)
Great project! I'm deff going to be purchasing this plan from you! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you. Anytime.
Happy Fathers day , but i love the build, i just want to kno if i get the same look with led light strips ? I am really scared to mess around with wiring
I would straight snapped that mirror in half!😆😆😆
I don’t know much about electricity, but is the outlet cable the same as the white and black he used at first?
Or can I just use the clear one all the way from the beginning?
1:52 my mind just went
biG hAmMoR
btw i really like this thinking of making it for my mom
Swap out the bulbs with LED bulbs and that will get rid of the heat and save some money.
I love thisss!!!! I especially love the outlet so U can charge ur phone while doing make up or your hair 😍
i dont have the tools i wish your my friend
You could also notch the previous holes w/ a router and reuse the panels w/o any problem w/ the bulb fitment
please make a freelance makeup trolley, with bulb ,mirror and stand out of this wood .
This is a great looking table! I am thinking about making this for my wife as a surprise.
Would it be possible to only use wood glue (no nail gun)?
Hendrik Choy yeah, but it wont be as strong as with nails i guess
I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.
You never disappoint on your projects! I love watching your videos. This one is a must have for every special lady out there!
Thank you. :)
So this might be an obvious question. But what are the finished dimensions of the table?! 😅
You need a stage & cameras following you around! We're in the middle of remodeling an attached in-law apartment into a master bedroom & I was pulling my hair out until I came across your channel (while at work 😅) You are amazing girl! Y gracias for all the inspiration!! 1:14
Dis and dat, exspecially? Ffs learn how to speak.
Working great,will try to build later,thanks for sharing
Led strips will be brighter and cooler
Nice work Glen
i enjoy the channel only change i think i would make as far as looks would the lip with the mirror i would have painted it Black on outside and white on the inside that way when it was closed it would tie in with the black legs thoughts ?
Another option to cover the exposed electrical on the keyless fixtures is liquid tape
I'm making one for the wife. Might get some action
Brilliant build man... Thinking about doing exactly this same thing except I might try to add some “tackle box” style folding organizers that lift as the outer compartments are opened.
Could you also drill pocket holes and use screws for much of this project?
How much was for all the material?
Love it.
You could try slow closing hinges 👍
Thank you, absolutely
uauuu buen trabajo te felicito,me gusta mucho,sigue asi
perfect timing. my wife just asked me to make her 1 yesterday haha. you saved me.
Haha, Nice.
Ever have a nail from the gun shoot out the side of the wood and stick you in a finger?
