I am a self-taught DIYer just giving it ago, and I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did 
We are finally renovating our bathroom, and when designing this space, a floating timber vanity was on the wish list, but the price was not!
So I decided to take on the challenge to build one myself, so I headed to bunnings to pick up my supplies.
Using the Tassie Oak panel 1200 x 600 x 19 mm, I mitred the edges and glued them together using corner clamps.
For support: I added timber on the back (helped with mounting to the wall), brackets underneath the bench top and used timber screws to secure the bottom.
Now time to tackle the drawer. I picked up some soft closing drawer runners to get the measurements right before starting this step.
I measured twice, cut once, and using my table saw, I cut grooves 7mm thick to slide the drawer base in (7mm plywood). Using pocket holes, I assembled the drawer.
I cut the timber drawer front to size and added a bevel edge for the handle.
I sanded everything, patched imperfections with homemade wood filler (sawdust and wood glue), and sealed with Monocel exterior clear varnish.
What do you think?
Hello @Kalinda5
Welcome to the Bunnings workshop community. It's fabulous to have you join us.
Let me tag @Banyoabode to make sure they are aware of your kind words and questions. If I recall correctly, they did mention that they used Monocel Clear Timber Varnish only. But there was no mention on what kind of finish they used. Looking at the photo of the vanity it seems like they used a satin finish instead of a high gloss.
If you are planning on making a similar vanity, please make sure to post an update. I'm sure our members would be keen to see your design.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thank you 😊 yeah I just used the clear monocel varnish. It has been a year and the vanity has held up nicely 🙌🏽
I may say that indeed it's a beautiful piece of wood but difficult to work with, it can chip very easy and it's super soft practically don't look at it because it will dent. However, with care there many projects that can be done with it. I just did a facelift in my bathroom and I'm more than satisfied with the results.
Still work in progres the benchtops is the kaboodle. I think I invested like 1500k in the whole project included sink. Its certainly a facelift but very satisfying.
Lovely work @Antonio_Baron. Your bathroom facelift looks amazing and I trust you are very happy with the results.
