Bathroom Cabinet Between the Studs

[gee-dub]

A simple fixture for my son-in-law who is remodeling a bathroom.  He wanted a shelf unit to set semi-flush between the studs for what-nots. This is the second or third use of this angle fixture I built for the Match-Fit sled.

It lets me quickly cut rabbets for the carcass joinery.

 

Add a dado for a fixed shelf.

And you get this thing.

I make some bead board slats for the back.

Add some trim and you get this.

It will set into the opening in the wall.  I hope he had the dimensions right

Turned out nice. We made a lot of those for bathrooms over the years at the Cabinet shop. We would add a trim piece or dowel for magazines…

That's a nice looking case. I love adding storage in the walls.

I was going to put a metal one in with a roll of brown towel like they use in service stations in the rec room bath. Wife said no, it would look stupid. My wife comes in the rec room ONLY during bad storms which is about twice a year. I honestly don’t think she has been in that  bathroom in ten years

Looks pretty classy.  How will it be secured to the stud cavity?

@Mark J - Just like a contractor grade medicine chest; screws through the sides into the studs.  These can be surprisingly inobvious if placed based on the angle of view for a given installation.  You could also use a construction adhesive under the trim, on the sides, or "Zorro'd" across the back .
