Granite Countertop DIY (Episode 8 Sink Cut Out and Rodding)
I wish I could hire you to install my cabinets.
You can do it. It really is pretty easy with some basic hand tool skills. Thanks for commenting!
Wat year is it
It was a 2012 E450 shuttle bus.
The most comprehensive series, thank you! About edge profile, what are the model numbers of the rubber support disc and the router profile bit? And, as one of viewers pointed out, it seems polishing pads can do the roundover and you mentioned you’d give it a try, how did it go? Suffice to use polishing pads only or hand profile is required? Thank you in advance!
Here is the edge router bit link that I use. www.bbindustriesllc.com/alpha-vacuum-brazed-profile-wheels.html The polishing pad method does not give you an exact profile over the length of the countertop. When finished you can feel and see the in perfections in the edge. thanks for commenting.
Curious why you're preferring the diffuser that extends up from the floor instead of a flush register? I have the former and want to convert to the flush register since I think those are ugly/dated looking.
I like the look of the diffuser that extends from the floor as opposed to out of the wall. Also, if it come out of the wall I have one more item to cut drywall around and another weak link in the thermal envelope. Just my thoughts. Thanks for commenting.
@@designbuildandfix I think he was saying put the register out from the wall in the floor, not up the wall further. I'm gonna do the same thing. I have the corner look
@@designbuildandfix Thanks, I meant flush to the floor. I'm putting new wood floors in so easy to change now.
Thank for posting - this was a good into to something i have never attempted before
You are welcome. Thanks for commenting.
Nice work sir., i am re using a granite countertop and I cut it in half now I have to sand etc sides also I want to cut rounded corner next to the door. To save my hip it’s narrow and I’m not 👍🏻
I see your PVC idea didn't work as well as planned. Oops - dirt in the Bark. You would have had better luck if you built a runner / sled to put the log on and used larger Dia. PVC under the sled. = No Dirt in the Bark.
You are right. Thanks for the info.
Sorry, I cannot watch anymore.
WOW...!
Thanks to sharing your skills/knowledge.
You are welcome.
Awesome!
Glad you liked it.
The very first scene showing the crane convinced me that I'm not doing this myself as I do it yourself project.😂
I have to admit. It is the high end of the do it yourself spectrum. Thanks for commenting.
Great video
Glad you liked it!!
I appreciate this. I changed my blower motor last year and had no idea about the resistor so I think I'll have to check into it soon.
Glad this could help you. Thanks for commenting.
Helpful !! What kind / product is used for the sealer mentioned at the end of the video?
I use this product form BB Industries. Here is the link for sealers and enhancers or just sealer. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sealers-adhesives-cleaners/sealers/stone-shield.html
Wow. I didn’t expect a reply. Thanks so much for the link!!
Good video, thanks. I was looking for help on levelling. My subfloor looks like a roller coaster.
Glad you liked it. This will help with leveling but it will only go so far. Should work for laminate flooring.
After going through all of my pads (carefully), the granite still looks slightly cloudy. I'm a bit concerned. At the end, you mention a "sealer and enhancer." Is this why? How do I know if my results are 'normal'? I mean, just how much can a product like that fix? Do you have one that you recommend? And did I miss your video on the topic? Thanks in advance; so far you've been a big help. What a stressful job.
Usually if the granite is still a little cloudy it is because some of the larger scratches left by a previous sanding pad was not fully removed. I have had this happen to me. The only fix is to go back and start the polishing process over again. I would first try a small section and see if that fixes it. You will know for sure by doing this. The enhancer will bring the colors out but will not remove the cloudiness from polishing. Here is the brand that I use. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sealers-adhesives-cleaners/sealers/stone-shield.html Granite fabrication is very stressful. I remember my first slab. Very stressful. It gets easier. Thanks for watching and fabricating your own tops. Very rewarding.
@@designbuildandfix Thanks for your continued help and understanding. I'm learning lots, but it really is an undertaking.
Your sketchup video's are amazing, You are a great teacher.
Glad you enjoyed and I could help. Thanks for watching.
Nice, simple technique at 4:30. Moving that sink cutout piece is the part that has me most worried. Thanks.
Glad I could help.
Hey DBF I have some questions about your trailer A frame 5:16. With the prices of installs lately getting quoted north of 10k I'm really looking into doing this myself. Transportation for several hundred miles is my only concern. TIA
You can transport the granite slabs or the finished countertops for many many miles as long as they are strapped well and you are using a well built trailer A frame that is screwed or bolted to your trailer. I would have no worries transporting them the distance you are talking about.
Right now, I'm in the planning stage for a DIY granite countertop. A few questions, if you have time for them: 1) What was that white wax pen that you used to mark the granite called? To spare me the trial & error of buying one without knowing, I'd love a recommendation! 2) What diameter hole-saw did you use, and is that a standard (or at least typical kitchen) size? 3) Has your opinion about embedding a steel support changed since filming this? I'd be concerned with rust, and so I'm considering using a wood/steel under-support. Thanks for any help!
Sorry for the late response. Crazy buy schedule. The marker I use I get from BBIndustries. Here is the link to the product. www.bbindustriesllc.com/skm-industrial-grade-white-paint-marker-w-metal-tip-01295.html The hole size for the faucet is a 1 3/8". The corners for the sink cutout is a 3" and the round over bit for the edging is a 3/8" All can be found at BBIndustries. Here is the link to the home page. www.bbindustriesllc.com/?msclkid=40b54be548e81bdff3222dac3fc956f2&US%20Search%3A%20Branded%3A%20Braxton-Bragg%20-%20JF&Braxton-Bragg If you are concerned with rust you can use either fiberglass or carbon fiber rodding. Here is a link to the place where I buy all my supplies. it will take you to the page. Just scroll down to see the different types. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sinks.html My next countertop for the lake house teardown rebuild series I will be using either the fiberglass or the carbon fiber. I have to due some more research on it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video, it is very useful. I have a question, my kitchen has Ceasarstone, under the counter top around the edge it has 40mm cushion tape and 20mm stone, the only way this counter top fit in is putting the cushion tape ON TOP of the cabinet, if we put it flat and the tape touching the edge of the cabinet the counter top is short about 20mm from the wall. Is that the right way to seat that counter top? (Put the cushion tape at the edge on top of the cabinet, that way the counter top is not level) thanks
I would have to see a picture to fully understand.
Thanks 🙏🏼
You are welcome.
Great videos! Very helpful! You mentioned you have a variable speed angle grinder. Can you share what speeds you use for the various tasks, (hole saw drilling, cutting wheel, profile shaping, various grit pads). Thank you!
Sorry for the late response. Crazy busy schedule. I usually set my grinder to 2. I use that for all my operations. Thanks for watching.
Will these cables distort the bottom of the sink? The upper brackets (6:57) are installed just above the dadoed particle board channel. My guess is the screws would rip out upon tightening the cables
It has to be tight but not supper tight that the screws pull out. The silicone also gives some support. I have a tendency to overtighten everything and I have not pulled any screws out or deformed the sink. However I would recommended using a heavier gauge sink. thanks for watching. Hope this helped.
I'd like to use a larger undercount sink. Can the sink be supported by the plywood countertop eliminating the mounting brackets? Manufacturer recommends 1.5" on each side for brackets.
I have never done this. I would think it would, being it is 3/4 plywood. However, I am not sure.
I thought in one of the first videos you paid 1,200$ for the granite slab? Also I thought there was a number of lime 12/13,000$ for something, in regard to savings. Either way, I’m a petty DIY guy and gave me even more confidence to do this project, great job
Hi. I believe the granite for this job was 2 slabs and the cost was about $1200. I did pay $1200 for a remnant piece from a fabricator that was a little less then a half sheet. I did this because I had no other options. I did save about $12000 or so on granite countertops for a high end rental I built. That savings was from a quote I got from Home Depot to do the job. Granite is pretty easy to do. You just have to be careful not to crack it when moving the sheets or pieces. Also very careful to not drop it on yourself. You only have to have patience's on the edging, polishing and the seaming. I will have more granite videos out from the lake house tear down rebuild series I am doing now. Videos are coming out slowly based on the time needed to build this cottage. If you are a good DIY person you should be able to do this easily!!! Anyway here is the link to this series. ruclips.net/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/видео.html
@@designbuildandfix perfect, I’ll be watching out for them. Thank you
Great video, do you do personalized classes for sketchup ? Im willing to pay you to teach me, let me know ! I want to do renders and no one in my area is willing to teach this stuff to not have any competition.
Hi. I have not gotten to that point yet. However, I will put out some more videos on how to put textures on surfaces to make the house look more realistic. Here is link to a series I am doing now with a SketchUp rending of the project. This is probably a good example of what you want to do. Here is the link to the video. ruclips.net/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/видео.html
Glad you’re using screw-in mounting clips. CANNOT beLIEVE - ADHESIVE-ONLY (*especially* with *just* “silicone” 🤔😱🤦🏻♂️ vs. / vs. also epoxy) is even an option for having to support the ENTIRE weight of such a HEAVY SINK - not to MENTION the weight of it being filled with WATER and/or (for kitchen sinks) heavy DISPOSAL, DISHES and POTS! - DESPITE the existence and acceptability of relatively cheap and easy SCREW-IN mounting clips methods!? Whoever decided that was(/were) an IDIOT(S) and/or GREEDY / CHEAP MEGA-BUILDER(S) that had too much influence on the official / defacto construction standards!? NO ADHESIVE lasts FOREVER!? Granted, neither do screw mounts, but they defo last HECK of a lot longer than adhesive - AND support MUCH more WEIGHT while doing so!? AND you can MUCH more easily INSPECT to see if they’re failing!? AND MUCH more easily REPAIR that failure (by tightening the screws and if necessary, injecting glue and re-drill)!?
Mounting brackets with screws is a really good option. You will be surprised as to how much screws can hold. I will be coming out with more granite videos when I do the granite for the lake house tear down rebuild series I am doing now. In these videos I will be showing how to use the drill in clips. These are better and easier if you have the right drilling equipment. If you don't have the right equipment the bracket system shown is a really good option. Here is the link to that series. ruclips.net/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/видео.html Videos are coming out slow because of the time needed to build the cottage.
Your video is very helpful. Thank you. How much time approximately did it take you to finish the edges or corners of that piece of granite?.
The piece in the video took about an hour. The whole countertop for this job was about 6 hours. Glad it was helpful!!
Where did you get the equipment
I get all my equipment from BB Industries. They are great and have people who can answer many of your question. Here is the link to the site. www.bbindustriesllc.com/
Your videos were a Godsend! Many thanks!
Glad I could help!! Thanks for watching.
What is the name of that saw you use to cut the straight lines on the stone?
Sorry for the late response. It is a Flex which has a water attachment. Here is a link to where I bought mine from. I am not sponsored by them. www.bbindustriesllc.com/power-tools-accessories/circular-saws/flex.html
Great Content! Thanks a lot. You are the best, Sir!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Great Video! Thank you so much for your time. Please make more videos for the community. I'm forever grateful to you!🙏
Glad you liked it. I am doing a series right now of a Lake house teardown and rebuild. In the first video, I show what the new lake house will look like. I drew it in Sketchup. You may want to see it to see what the potential is for Sketchup and the ability to see what something looks like before you build it. Here is the link to that video. ruclips.net/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/видео.html
I've never seen it done like that 😅
Well, when money is an issue you can always find another way. I have found it also works well in setting basement beams. I used it in the Lake house teardown and rebuild series that is slowly coming out. Here is the link to the series. Only 4 videos done. Crazy building the cottage and not much time left to edit video. I will get there. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/sUn_gg8y5U0/видео.html
Great tutorial. I am laying 3/4 x 5 red oak. My first attempt at hardwood. I decided to use trim screws in lieu of the nails.
I have never seen it done with trim screws. Are you using them in the field on the tongue or as face nails on the first couple of boards. Screws will not squeak, but they will split the tongue. If you are using screws because you do not have a nailer, then just rent one. They are not that expensive. I would hate to see you waste the expensive flooring. Let me know how it goes.
Very well demonstrated, thank you!
hello, do you happen to know the fuse number and location that works with the doors?
Hi! Sorry I do not. All the busses I have had all had manual doors.
Lol 3 inch Core bit is not that easy to pop
Do you but you’re sheets tight together
Yes , sheets are put together tight. Just push them together by hand. Thanks for the question and enjoy your project!!

lol if you can afford the granite but not the hole saw, you should probably rethink your choices on a countertop 😂 Nice video
I do it to
I love this work
FYI Harbor Freight has an 18ga pnuematic stapler for about $25. If you just need it for a few jobs, it will do nicely.
Thanks for the comment. I agree. I only buy tools at Harbor Freight if I know that I will only use it a couple of times or once every couple of years.
Really nice job. Have done a lot of solid surface counters as a contractor and cabinet maker. Will now give my next build a shot at granite. I have no doubt itll turn out great thanks to some of your finer points from these videos. EXACTLY the info Ive been looking fot. Thanks a bunch!!!
Thanks for the comment. I was in the same boat. I lost many countertop jobs to granite people, so I started to do them. Also, I could not afford the granite prices so I just did it myself. It was the best thing ever. Just be careful because granite is very heavy. You could be seriously hurt if not moved correctly and with some thought. Good luck!!! I am sure they will be beautiful.
I have a question about using 3.5" walls (assuming using for true width of 2X4) as you do in your video. Is there a reason for not using 4" (as I have seen in other videos)? Or is it just a matter of preference?
Thanks for the question. Traditional size of a 2x4 is 1.5" x 3.5". When designing a home and building one, the contractor really needs the dimensions from the edge of studs. So you design the house with the actual size of the studs. So inside walls are 3.5" wide. Plumbing walls would be 5.5" wide. Outside walls are normally 2 x 6 with 1/2" plywood attached so you would draw it 6" wide. Garage wall are usually 2 x 4 walls with 1/2" plywood attached, so they would be 4" wide. Hope this helps!!
@@designbuildandfixThanks for your prompt reply and the information. It does help as while I am working on a design for personal use I would like to understand as much as I can to create a realistic and useful model.
