Transcript
I'm gonna try something a little different today. My name is Best, and I'm gonna build my house. I ordered a vanity for my primary bathroom, and the top was cracked. Got a replacement, that top was cracked. No, I'm like, I'm sick of this. I'm just gonna build one. I've never really made any furniture or anything like that. So this is what I have in mind. I just had this idea one night, and I was like, I need to sketch this up so I don't forget. I got everything cut last night, so now I'm gonna start putting it all together.
