Most of us are shedding tears😭 when we see the price of 3/4 plywood. Jason uses it for one time use template😜 The tube life is GOOD🤣
Birch ply as well
The cheap Chinese poplar I could understand but BIRCH??
after giving us all the options for buying a butcher block what does he do he goes and has his custom-made. Obviously the easy option for all of us. The youtube millionaire gets us again.
Where are you buying your plywood 🪵?
What are you currently paying for a sheet of 3/4 birch sanded ?
I just bought some on Thursday
3/4 butcher uv1 side $$42.50
3/4 sanded 7 ply (lighter) $37.50
The heavier 13 ply I believe was $34
1/6 poplar s4s 1.75 LF
Total $97 add $7.76 taxes
$101.75 total
This is from the local lumber yard . Quite a few around here .
His family prolly owns 100,000 acres of forest land with an awful lot of white oak trees on it.
Protip, get an XL bearing for your router and route the top right to the sink. This will let the wood over lap the sink perfectly. You really want the wood to hang over an undermount. So there is no area for water to pool. This also gives to a place to hide a bead of silicone. You need a bearing that's like 3/8 to 1/2 inch bigger than the flush cutter.
Great idea!!! Thanks!
Thank you for this comment. I'm doing this right now and am taking your advice on the overhang. I can just imagine what an issue I'd have had with water sitting on that edge all the time.
When we are installing butcher blocks we always collect all the cut outs from hobs and sinks and turn them into cutting blocks and give them back to the customer.
Just installed IKEA’s butcher block. Works well but the surface does have small knots. I fixed them myself but I called IKEA and they would have sent a replacement to my home. They were also dry and easily dented. Fixed easily and applied Tung oil. Seems fine now. Can’t beat the price.
DO NOT give IKEA business,they are founding fathers off 15min cities 😡
I didn’t know IKEA sells butcher block countertops until this video. Are any of them true solid wood butcher block or just particle board with a butcher block veneer?
They sell both
@@beerdedwanderer Nice. I assumed they only sold the veneer version. Now I just need to see where they’re sourced, since IKEA is effectively decimating old-growth forests in Romania.
@@RyanWattersRyanWatters IKEA, Home Depot etc all have solid wood butcher block tops for very reasonable prices. Just look for it to say its solid wood vs veneered...they'll cost a little more but honestly I've found its only like 10-15% more expensive
Love the video! I use the “shop vac trick” a lot when gluing up cracks or missed seams… One idea to try before you switch to paper flossing is to add tape to the crack on the end grain as well as some on the bottom side where you’re using the vacuum. I move the tape on the bottom around as I move the vacuum . That way air can’t come in through any part of the crack except where you applied the glue. Hope this saves you(or anyone for that matter) more time in the future than it took to read this comment!
Only 4 minutes in and already loving it. A few years ago I made a 66" X 40" hard maple butcher block top for our dining room table. It is gorgeous. But, I vowed - never again. Recently, I replaced my main assembly bench and topped it with an "island sized" Birch butcher block from Wayfair (on sale). It is flat, smooth, heavy and looks great. I sealed it with several coats of 100% tung oil - nothing sticks to it. Thx.
Discovered the IKEA butcher block counter tops years ago. A good choice. I built my SawStop job site stand (their gravity feed stand is way too large for my small shop) using a Menards pre-made hardwood composite/butcher block board for the stand top. Easy.
they used to be full butcher block though, now just veneer.
The struggle with building an enclosure around and over your washer and dryer is that the size of the machines is not consistent between brands over time. When I replaced the units in our home, the new ones were 3/4" taller and would not fit under the counter any longer. Another thing to consider is you are now locked into picking front loading machines.
What I learned in this video: make shallower flush trim template cuts, with the miter joints first. If you screw up the miter joint, you still have enough material left to make it again.
Floor & Decor has a great selection of butcher block for very reasonable prices.
Totally been there! So glad you were down to showcase your mistakes. Makes growing into this hobby more inviting!
Thanks for the great video. I plan on putting butcher block counters in our beach condo this year and wondered how the 45 degree attachment worked. Thanks for educating me on that. All the best.
Jason, the Domino XL Quick Connectors are absolutely brilliant for connecting large-scale miters like that.
I use them all the time on butcher block miters and they pull the joint together like King Kong. Would love to see you use and review them in a future video to expose more makers to this amazing connector system.
BTW: I use the same system (much smaller, of course) with my Domino 500, and it is a toy by comparison.
Hey Jason. For the miter, I'd recommend doing a spline. All in all it looks great.
❤WOW❤ Huge Fan of this video for so many reasons! 🎉
i like the free mind finding the way out awkward situation, great tips ! really enjoying the work and the finishing, cheers
We call them plumbing fixtures XD
Love the butcher block
Thanks! I've got a butcher block install in a tiny kitchen coming up. I learned a bit more than I thought I knew. ;)
I used Boos finished maple countertops worked out beautifully
Use French cleats on the bottom of the counter over the washer and dryer. One across the back and a little one on the wall side to keep it tight. Easy to quickly remove and access the dryer and water hoses to clean up the mess when the wife decides she can clean the water filter on that front load washer. Ask me how I know 😂
Yeah I've had too much trouble with my washers and dryers over the years to lock them in like all that. Of course, with the way he blows through money, Jason is a lot more well off than me but it's still gonna be a PITA when something goes wrong.
Yep, removing those is gonna be a pain one day.
Won't work in this situation as I believe Jason is putting cabinets directly on top of the counter.
Nice job! I would not have glued the butcher block mitre joint but rather only used the clamps which could be adjusted(tightned) as needed and allow for unlikely removal in future. This is one of the best practicle laundry room ever. Ray
Watch out for the box store acacia countertops. They're mostly sapwood that can be dented with your thumbnail. Mine was also full of sanding swirls and low spots that you can't see through the plastic film until you unwrap it at home. I ended up sanding and leveling mine because I'm an idiot who does things the hard way. Plus, the price was decent and I wasn't confident I'd get a better one if I exchanged it. Mine is for a bar table that won't see much hard use. I'd never want it for a kitchen counter though because of how soft the sapwood is.
Hindsight is 20/10 - better than perfect vision.
I do the laundry in my family. I can’t imagine what I would do with all that beautiful space!
I've had great luck with butcher block from Lowes, etc. Island size (3'x6') cut to 30" deep + standing desk frame = easy peasy lemon squeezy
I bought an 8 ft piece years ago from Lowe’s. After finishing a couple of ways I landed on real tung oil combined with a citrus product that carries the oil down into the pores. Works great. I no longer have to refinish as often as I did previously
Looks awesome. I love the color you used on the butcher block.
Looking great can’t wait to see it finished
Have you thought about the access to the washer and dryer when there is a problem with them? They are HHEAVY and lifting them out of the cabinet will not come without much difficulty. Also the access to the shutoff valves for the washer seems to be a bit tight to operate them after and to access the flex hoses from the valves to the washer. Also how do you install the plumbing for the sink? I seem to remember that you did not have access to the bottom of the butcher block from under the sink? Just want to know what your thoughts are.
The last time I spread my crack apart and put some glue in it the ER doctor was very disappointed.
😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣tmi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
17:14 spiders gonna love living back there 🕷️
😳 whut?
Rubio is an amazing product. It's very expensive, but man... it worked amazingly on my butcherblock as well. I also coated it with a ceramic coating. Which is also REALLY expensive.
Thinking that miter would have been a good use-case for a Lamello Zeta P2 + Clamex connectors. Join the miter in place with less trouble and can tighten the joint with the same system. It's projects like this that help me justify tool purchases 😁
I love the smell of sawdust in the morning. It smells woody.
Those turned out really nice looking.
If you have access in the corner underneath, use some clamps and blocks and use them to use pocket screws
I'm excited to see the Benchmade knife, an Oregon star!
😂😂😂 glad you showed the bering coming off I've made the same mistake more then once. It's called being born hard headed 😅
I’m a new fan and subscriber. Your videos are awesome. Your work is fantastic.
when sizing enclosures for appliances, realize that (yes, some years in future) replacing the washer/dryer might require a wider cabinet. Replacing the cabinet frame is one thing, but ending up with a butcher block 1/2" short would be annoying, so I'd make the appliance cover block 1/2~1" longer than currently needed. [Appliances are usually made with compatibility of dimension--particularly width and height--at an industry standard, BUT there can be small variances that will drive the future you nuts.]
You should have gotten your shop supervisor to tighten up the miter bolts. He could have stood up doing it. 😊
I love the fact that he pointed out the chewed up part of the joint and then the camera is conveniently placed so that we aren't all staring at it in the next shot....let's face it everyone would have completely ignored Jason and been lost in the gap
as an appliance repair technician and you call for service on your washing machine I would walk in there look at it and tell you to dismantle your whole jail that you put the machines into before I can service it and maybe come back another day.
it's fine to put wood over top of it but you did not leave enough room for the machines to move as the washer spins at 2400 RPMs.
it would have been better to have it so you could easily remove the top above the appliances.
I kind of feel like a 45° interlaced pattern would probably be a better looking, if not more complex, way to do the corner joint.
Kind of off topic, but what's the go to literature that any aspiring and overly motivated woodworker needs to read? Any must haves that need to be in any woodshop? Im trying to start growing my general knowledge about woodworking past what UA-cam can teach me. Thanks in advance
Great looking project.
I was curious how you vented the dryer and hooked it up. Also I have notice that most farm sink installs have now added a catch ledge at the bottom of the sink out of quartz or marble to grab the water if it runs /drips down the sink face not destroying the wood below
I loved the buy your own skit :D Its hilariously true
It's funny because you literally have a podcast with the guy who sells the answer for your miter joint, the Lamello. 😉 You can even hear Keith Johnson saying it. 🤣
if you ever do a mitre that size again in a tight fitting space,try the dominoes at 45 deg to the edge..that way the two faces go together as a straight push,works a treat. :)
Never change, Jason. Never change.
Another great tutorial. Thanks.
Looking at the Canadian IKEA, they only sell veneered particle board butcher block countertops here.
Use Zip Bolts.. much easier using a drill with a bit , rather then a small wrench to tighten the joint. Good job, looks great,
As always pleasure watching your videos.. Z clip link missing…
I made a butcher block for my washer dryer. And yeah it took me about a month 😅😅 It came out pretty nice tho
I have actually used dental floss to pull glue into cracks. Many long years ago!
I use biscuit joints for worktops, much more forgiving.
your intro music riff is just way too fine !!!!!
Airstream living has its upsides
The counter over the washer is cool. Just wondering how it will hold up with a big unbalanced load like a blanket.
Hahahah, loved the saw sounds
Jason your plywood template is way nicer than my countertop. Let me know if/when youre going to pitch it. Im digging in your garbage! Signed, victim of so and sos economics.
Looking quite nice. Did code not allow for the hookup height to be fully in the uppers, as that would seem easier while moving the plumbing anyway? Or would that create a drainage issue for the washer?
I was so confused when you started making butcher block.
Great video and terrific looking end result! When does the team get to work on improvements at Craig's place?
If you were going to make a mistake that was the spot. Lucky. Looks great 👍.
That's badass man
S rabbit on each 45 and a spline drive in after in place maybe?
About the corner. Couldn't you do like bow tie inlays on the bottom of the butcher block pieces? That way you can put the larger one in first and then slot in the other one with the bowtl ties as registration marks? Idk 🤷♂️ ❤
4:18 that cashier was cooking up a whole scenario in her head lmao
Nice jigsaw sound effects 😄
So i do this for a living, and are wondering. What is the expansion rate on your butcher block?
You have a solid top on your corner cabinet. No concern for unevenly dry out for the wood?
4 minutes in and wow, check those guns!!! what time is the gun show???
🤣😂
If there was a way to cut the dominoes at 45 degrees to the cut, then all you would have to do is slide the two together on the cabinet.
No NO No to Ikea butcherblock!!! Lowe's has some beautiful butcherblock countertops. I love using Odie's oil to finish mine.
the guy who owns odie's is a real piece of work, there was a big dustup because he apparently hates garage woodworkers, especially those who use Rubio and wear flat brim hats 🤣🤣🤣
If you want a modern interesting and reasonably inexpensive option try face laminating strips of 3/4” Baltic plywood. Heavy, strong and very cool to stain and epoxy and such.
Awwww I wasn’t paying attention 😩
I laughed way too hard at that micro crescent wrench
A spline along the whole seam.
That eye contact at 24:45....
I wonder how the washer and dryer don’t rattle that surround he built to death while in use. Maybe the front loaders or more stable than others?
Yep. I made the router bit mistake on a ten foot table
Keith wants you to use the Lamello Clamex on that miter.
That mitre joint is an example of when Biscuits would have worked so much better than Dominos.
I was sitting here saying “Use biscuits!”
lol
Nah, domino’s were fine. He just should have assembled the miter before putting the long piece in. Then you could have dropped it in place by angling the whole thing up from the sink side.
I kept saying “Biscuits! Use biscuits!”
What is your preferred brand of CA glue?? Asking for a friend lol!
Chopping boards made from butcher block of cuts for everyone! Yes chopping boards are supposed to be triangular.
I like the side effects.
No one cares about a mistake they can't see! Forever I've known that underside fastener as a dog bone. Nice work!
The router error somehow makes me feel better.
i think if you lift the long end bout 2 foot at the end wall and a little less at the miter cut and lift the smaller end along the front you wouldve had some space to move the miter from the long end away to get the dominos in the holes , not quite sure if you couldve dropped the long piece down after that without damaging the short wall just before it touches down though
I checked your links for the 1/8" set up block, but I don't see one. Am I missing it, or could you post it here?
Currently watching a jigsaw be used while laughing my butt off with the wife across the table just listening and looking at me like IM crazy or something. 😂
I want to buy either the birch 10ft piece or walnut from Home Depot but I need the top to be 26 wide, where can I buy a 10ft by at least 1" piece of birch by or walnut so I can clamp my own piece?
Jason, The light by the door is crooked at the end of your video.
Looks good, minus the mess up. Lol.
Would using the thin wafers work better than domino's? Use the jointer to cut a long mortise on the opposite side.
To get the counter tops installed, couldn’t you have cut it into thirds? The complicated corner and two straight pieces. You’d need to account for the kerf, but you’d never see the seams if you got it in tight.
Ok ok I clicked on CA glue on your list lolol I got the router lol
funny ,, in the world of counter tops we use corner clamps and glue for these tops.
Im redoing my livingroom into a 11ft x 22.5ft craftroom, and all my walls are getting storage with butcher block counters. Luckily they're just rectangles. No miters or sinks to cut out.
