Could you have taken the vaneer top from the cut parts of the IKEA ones to make the edge banding?

Butcher block is endgrain up,

I really like the workbench they are using. Wonder if it is homemade?

Pretty sad workmanship. No guide for the saw and routing in the wrong direction???

There are no dumb questions. Apparently there are dumb answers.

Good tip.

I followed this video but did not realize there were different kreg pocket hole screws for hard woods. Do I need to be worried that I used the “wrong” screws. I’ve already used dominoes and glued them together

Why the product with more maintenance?

Good video. Quality tools used, a little too much quality ($$) for a DIY'er. Still helpful though.

What about a kit that installs threading nut on the opposite end so you can use machine screws for joinery?

That was helpful thanks

You're welcome for joinin.

Quality and simplicity.... Very nicely done!

All but one ... not food safe. DUH

What brand pocket drill is that?

might be a dumb question but, which of the 2 is more solid and less prone of bending. the ikea one once cut seems "cheap" because it's not solid wood.

Now I just need to go spend $5000 on tools so I can make a $250 counter top.

That top can span that far without any additional support and be fine in the future?

Do you still make the satin top coat? I can not find it on the Home Depot's website.

If I just oiled a brand new butcher block countertop and now want to apply a polyurethane for safer protection. Is that ok?

What is the best way to adjoin corners? Butt joint or miter? I prefer the look of a butt joint, but am worried about wood movement.

I doubt the floor poly is FDA-approved for a food surface. Need to check before you chose. Watco® Butcher Block Oil + Stain is specially formulated for use on wooden butcher blocks, cutting boards, salad bowls and other wood applications which require a food safe finish. Easy to apply and maintain, it is nontoxic and safe for food contact when fully dried (meets government standards of 21CFR 175.300

Food safe

Wish you could have shown how to apply the polyethylene

Thanks. I'm making a couple benches. I'm going with the polyuerethane.

What should I finish the bottom of a butcher block counter with before install? I’ve been using a food-safe product on the top but have noticed some warping. We are getting ready to install the block on its forever home but I want to make sure I seal the bottom properly first.

Correct me if I am wrong but is butcher block not end grain? These are slab top but not butcher block.

A floor finish on a countertop you set food on😮🧐🤔

Where can I find those legs?

Why don't you use an L bracket to allow for expansion?

What router bit size?

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

IKEA 💩

No use of glue huh?

WTF -- NEVER use polyurethane! You're exposing every piece of food that comes into contact with that to toxic chemicals, especially as the surface ages or gets nicks and cuts, and the finish starts to shed. What in the hell is this "expert" thinking???

Thank you sir, i almost made a mistake

Why wood you use a non food safe approved finish on a countertop?

I bought a hardwood reflections butcher block to use as a desk a couple of years ago. Best decision ever. My favorite desk by far. I stained it walnut and it looks gorgeous. im moving and need a second desk for the new place so im going right back to home depot for another hardwood reflections butcher block.

NEVER cut by hand, always use a guide.

I just bought the Hardwood Reflections for a large floating L desk I am building. Thank you for making this video, your product is really sturdy and beautiful. So glad I did not buy something inferior.

Is it safe to do a drop in stove ?

I thought you would apply some wood glue on those dominoes🤔 Well as long as its plenty strong with just the screws.

I have a 12ft counter to install with a sink in the middle. Would it be better to get a 10ft butcher block board and attach the extra 2 feet or buy 2 - 6 ft sections and joint them at the sink. Seems like to me like its better to have the 10 ft so the sink is in a solid brace versus a jointed brace.

What type of wood is best for butcherblock countertops? Where to buy?

I wish you made black epoxy too....

What was the blade specs in the saw? Thanks for the information

what pocket hole jib from Kreg is that?

Nice bike.
