Bathroom vanity

[Teamcasa]

I have finally finished the woodworking part of this vanity for my bathroom. (ABPW) It is made from walnut.

I plan on making a hammered copper sink, (any tips?) for it and the topping it with a granite top.

Looks good so far. Be sure to post the finished part.

I'm contemplating making vanities for our new bathrooms. Let's just say that yours is a bit nicer than what I had in mind.

I'd start with a sheet of copper and a hammer. The rest is left as an exercise for the reader. ;-)

That will look great. For our new bathroom, I'm contemplating a soapstone top. I saw a kitchen display at Expo that used it and I thought it looked awesome. For a kitchen, it has some upkeep issues, but it might work out in the bathroom for me.

You will need a method of annealing the copper since it will 'work harden' after being hammered. And you need a pickling solution to quench the metal and remove the surface oxidation.

If you planned method is to stretch the copper you will want to start with a fairly heavy guage.

Use a polished hammer and consider a specialty hammer for copperwork.

Will do.
