Hey folks,
Today I got a call from one of my HS buddies who works on Granite/Tile, he is asking me if I could build a vanity cabinet for one of his customers in Newport Beach CA, this is a rough sketch of what he needs
It should be symmetrical to the center line,
3 drawers on each side
2 doors
The middle area should be for shelves.
It should support 2 over the top sinks (mostly granite or similar)
My questions are:
What kind of wood should I use? The customer don't want anything fancy or exotic, just something durable and good looking.
What's the best finish I should use, having in mind this will be on a high humidity area
What type of joinery should I use?
Any special techniques to be aware of?
How much should I charge for a project of this size?
Pretty much this is the very first commitment project and the first at this scale, I haven't build a cabinet before (even that I'm currently working on a dresser) so I have no idea the degree of difficulty that I will be dealing with, so anything that you can tell me about its highly appreciated.
I still need to confirm if I will take it or not, so if you think that this is too much for a novice let me know so that I can step out or jump in.
Thanks
