      Here's a bathroom unit that might come in handy. The poly count is somewhat high because it's modeled so that the carpenter can see each and any part and the construction method.

        That is quite nice, Gidon. Question, though, since that is a "girl's bathroom unit", do you have a boy's unit? πŸ˜‰

        May all your dimensions be the sum of their total.

          They have daughters, no sons.

            Very nice. The middle drawer with the sloping sides is a nice improvement on the usual jumble underneath the plumbing.

            I especially like the side with the shelves and the varying thicknesses of the top beam, bottom beam and shelves.

            What kind of hardware on the drawers?

              I use BLUM almost exclusively.
              I don't know if there is any American company that makes hardware like hinges and runners etc.
              I haven't seen any in Israel. Almost all the hardware here is European, mainly from Austria, Germany and Italy.
              I'm not sure that American hardware would be siutable in Israel as we use the metric system. I find it very frustrating to read articles in Fine Woodworking Magazine where all the dimmensions are in feet and inches. 😳

              Most glues and resins in Israel are from Germany while most of the varnishes are from Italy.

              BTW, the unit in the parents bathroom is almost identical except that it is positioned between 2 walls and has open shelves on the left. I changed the construction accordinly. The units are designed so that the finnished product looks "crafted" even though the whole thing is put together with no joinery other than Lamello bisquits and screws and can be built by even supervised semi-skilled workers.

                Hi Gidon,
                very interesting information here with regards to what is available in Israel, glues, varnished fitting etc.

                Do you have a slow setting, low tack glue.

                We have Extramite(formly cascamite) available in the UK that I would use when glueing up a dovetail joint.

                Onn rare occasions I would use a quicker setting glue, but only if the number of dovetails in the joint were maybe two or three. Any more than that I would opt for the Extramite.

                cheers

                  Having learned the trade in Israel I'm unfamiliar with English terminology. Could you tell me what "low tack glue" is? 😳

                    Its glue that isnt really sticky. Its quite weird to try and explain it. I suppose the best thing is to give some examples. Post-it notes have low tack glue on them, as does masking tape.

                        I havent really used ti myself, but i think it dries quite slowly and gets stickier as it dries. It would be useful for joinery, as youd have a long time to assemble the pieces before the glue dried fully.

                        Im just waiting for alan to come and say something the complete opposite to what ive just said...

                          Hi Guys,
                          'low tack glue'

                          It is basically NOT very sticky to the touch, and slow setting.

                          We also have quick setting glues that allows you to remove the cramps(clamps) from the job after maybe 1/2 hour or so. It will not be at full strength for 24hours, but okay to remove from the cramps(clamps)

                          Makes the glueing up proces much quicker. Some of our top makers in the UK, use it for glueing veneer to say medium density fibreboad.

                          cheers

                          Alan
