Nicely done! I appreciate the comment on how far away the island should be placed from other cabinets. I don't think I have heard any other person on YT give out that piece of advice.
Thanks hanks so much! I really try to make these videos helpful. Glad ad you have noticed :)
I clicked on another video that claimed it was “easy” but looked very difficult and tedious. This was exactly what I wanted and needed. Thank you!

I’m in love with this woman.
She is only main 😀😀😀 okay
This is awesome! We are about to remodel our kitchen and now I think we can do it ourselves! Thank you!
glad I could help you! good luck on your remodel :)
Moving solid wood slabs like it weighted nothing. Love it! I want an island but my kitchen is small and is not practical 😭😭😭 loved your job looks amazing!
Haha thanks! Being a cheerleader for so many years paid off lol. Can you build a small one? Maybe on wheels to push out of the way?
@@dcwoodworks hay thanks for replying. It is a small house so the kitchen is shared with the dining table. Technically the dining table is my island 🤣😂. Hopefully one day I can expand a house and have a proper dining room and free up space for an island. I could build a small one but small and tall worries me that I will tilt it over with my clumsiness. However I think I should analyze if my kitchen could be remodel into a more practical design.
Such a great and frugal idea, congratulations!!!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it :)
Looks easy, thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it! Your welcome:)
This video is absolutely amazing! Such great tips and it came out beautifully! Great job!
Thank you so much! im glad you liked it! do you think you will build one?
wow, upon seeing you doing this it makes me wanna buy some tools soon and start my own renovation
Girl! You absolutely can!! did you??
check this one out you'll love it :ruclips.net/video/VMNnKXMK5FA/видео.html
Beautiful kitchen counter, I have learned alot. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏💕💕
You are so welcome! I hope you subscribed, I have a lot of content and LOTS more coming!
This is a really great idea. I really wanted an island for our office kitchen but I couldn't find one with the right dimensions or that was in the budget but I am thinking this will fit the bill! And as a DIY, it is definitely affordable.
Thanks!! I’m glad you found it helpful. It’s such a great way to customize your space. Good luck!!
The recommended worktop overhang for a breakfast bar is 300mm. This overhang is needed to be able to get chairs and your legs underneath it, to be able to sit comfortably. The smallest width an island with breakfast bar seating for 2 people can be, is between 1000mm & 1200mm wide. This is because you need between 500mm & 600mm for each seat under the breakfast bar
Omg I love it I am planning on building my own and this helped a lot thanks ❤
I'm so glad! how did it turn out?
Thank you from Csnada🇨🇦👍

OOh, I was supposed to be watching how's the island Made..... well,🤣😂
Nice set up..... and the project is nice too!
Thank you for making this Video it's gonna help me a lot my wife didn't believe we could build our own island
Glad I could help! let me know how it turns out! i really get excited when people learn from my channel
What a beauty, and the cabinet looks great too
Thanks so much!
#1 - Use a router to drill out space for miter bolts to attach the 2 butcher blocks. Make sure to seal all wood areas. #2. When attaching tot he cabinets, use brackets that allow the screws to expand with the wood. #3, Seal all the areas, #4 If the butcher block is over a dishwasher then use a barrier in between the wood and over the dishwasher so the steam doesn't warp the wood. #5, if food will be placed on the counter top use food safe sealers.
Great tips
Thank YOU so much for sharing this GREAT Idea...
your welcome! Glad i could inspire you!

Stop simping bro
@@destroyerofsimps6574 exactly. He doesn’t have to work that hard.
First awesome job and second what type of adhesive did you use for the top and the MDF molding. Thanks
Thanks so much! I used Lepage PL Premium but any construction grade adhesive will work.
OMGGGG 😳‼️.. I loveeeee it..you made it look sooo simple...thank you ❣
so glad I could help! :)
I didn’t realize you were building an island until the very end.
I would like to thank for creating this helpful and budget friendly video. I'm impressed with your work! May I know the all the measurements, please.
thanks so much! Im glad it could help you :)
its 30 inches high and 48 inches long.
Beautiful, and the kitcvhen Island too
Thanks im glad you liked the video!
Looks absolutely great!
thanks so much! I love how it turned out
@@dcwoodworks your welcome.
Really helpful video and I want to try it in my kitchen as I’m planning to do some renovations. Did you secure the island with the floor or the weight of the island will just hold it in a permanent position? Thanks.
Awesome I'm glad you got inspired! I did, I just used two little L brackets. The island is so large it's hard to move but these work great to keep it 100% secured.
@@dcwoodworks can we see a picture of it? Of how you secured it please.
That’s one legit biscuit
I didn’t make any biscuits. I built an island
@@dcwoodworks I will subscribe just because you responded. I could watch you work for hours
Beautiful job! I am getting ready to do the same job myself..
Good luck! Thankyou!
She caked up. ❤
U haves skills. I do remodeling and come across alot of dudes that "don't have the skills" or just don't care
thanks so much! I appreciate that
I didn't see where you screwed it to the floor to keep it from sliding around.
After finished It should be heavy enough where it doesn’t slide around.
yes exactly! but i did end up putting two small L brackets just incase
Who says that woman cannot build anyting this young lady she's awesome.
exactly!! thanks!!
GREAT JOB!!! Love it~
thanks so much! im glad you liked it :)
I didn't hear a damn thing you said lol. Great video
lol. heres my newest one : ruclips.net/video/VMNnKXMK5FA/видео.html
Awesome!! How did you attach the cabinets to the floor?
Thanks! I used L brackets.
Amazing project. Love it. Thank you you the great video
Thanks for watching!
From United States 🇺🇸 god bless you all! It’s hard times right now be safe
thanks! same to you. we are all healthy and doing well.
My only concert is that I never saw the two base cabinets being attached to the floor since they can be going sideways when someone tall or heavy leaned over the edges or by the overhang part of the island bu it looks good 👍🏻
I actually attached it at the end but I just didn't video that part.
@@dcwoodworks How did you attach it
How did you attach it?
Did you ever drill the cabinets to the floor? Does it move if it’s not drilled in?
I did! I attached them with some L brackets.
Very nice!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
i love it I'm doing this for my wife ,thx for you idea.
yay! glad you liked it and can use the info! have fun!
Nice! I might have missed it because I watched the video with no sound, but will the island be held down or is it movable once finished? It turned out so beautiful! 😊
This one will be held down because I am putting the dishwasher in between both cabinets but if you just build an island with no appliances, it can move like furniture :)
Great question
So what did you secure it with
@@najeemuhammad6957 L brackets
yes i want for my rental property so that when tenants annoyed and vacating -they can take it to new place or drop near some trash
I want to try it. Does Kent ship to NYC ?
That’s a good question! I can’t see why they wouldn’t
Great 👍🏽 job! I enjoyed All aspect of this build
thanks so much! youll love this one, I just uploaded it
ruclips.net/video/0XYfxJGfcVo/видео.html
Totally the best.
thanks for watching!
Respect to you ma'am! This is sexier than any bugs bunny tik tok!!!!
You're going to have to install an outlet in that island. All permanent islands must have an outlet receptacle according to building code. Should be okay if you arent selling the house soon
Not true.
I already sold it. And that’s not the case here in Nova Scotia Building Code
This is awesome...Thank you!!!
glad you liked it! and glad i could help
Wow talented & beautiful ...... great job.
Thank you so much! New videos up! Did you watch it?
ruclips.net/video/VMNnKXMK5FA/видео.html
This looks amazing! I was curious though, how’s you secure the blocks onto the cabinets? I was wondering if you used nails or glue? I seen where you used glue to secure them both together but didn’t catch the part where you secure the counter top on to the cabinets
It’s very important to allow the wood to move freely. Since she didn’t answer the question, She probably didn’t cover this because she didn’t know how to do it. Sadly. This is something that shoujd have been covered absolutely. I actually have a discussion on this type of countertop and I go over how to secure it. Feel free to watch it.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore what’s the link!! I’d definitely check it out!
@@tmac9607 check it out. If you are wanting to get a butcher block countertop, watch how I cut it and prep it for staining. They are heavy and hard so you need to know how to deal with them. In the description I talk about the fastening also. ruclips.net/video/_86xawxR8LY/видео.html. Maybe you’ll like my channel. Let me know what you think. If you have questions.
I actually used L brackets to attach the wood to the cabinets. inside where the dishwasher goes so you dont see them.
I must have missed it but how did you attach the butcher block to the cabinets

@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore WOW.....are you finessing people for subs under someone else's video? MAYBE she has hundreds if not thousands of comments which makes it hard to answer everyone while weeding out the ones sexual in nature.
@@eriktyson7696 Erik it’s too bad that you think I’m trying to finesse people to my channel. Sadly this is why I was hesitant to answer the question. If I try to help then it’s because I want viewers not because I what to advise. I wouldn’t have said anything but it’s the only question she didn’t answer. If you see carefully. Out of all the questions other than comments based on her being a girl, it wasn’t answered. And you know what, my comment helped several people. All were so grateful that I helped them. If my helping them makes them want to learn from my channel the correct way to build cabinetry and woodwork then that’s just a bonus for everyone. Don’t you think. This is a huge platform, people like me are putting meaningful content out to the world, and trying to help should be able to answer questions on anywhere without people like you insinuating it’s to get subs. Ridiculous
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore thats exactly what I'm saying "you want viewers ". Coming to another RUclips page that does the say thing as you and trying to lure them to your page for Subs is shady in my opinion. Let them find you. You say that you were hesitant, yet I only decided to say something after noticing you do the same exact thing several times. The only question she didn't answer? That's RIDICULOUS, so please stop. Those same questions were already asked by other viewers and answered by her. If it was jusy about answering the questions, you would have told how you would have done it minus criticizing hurt work and kept it moving. But no, you plugged your channel and discredited her work. If thats your thing its cool, but don't be mad because I called you out on it.
@@eriktyson7696 i did answer the question. Allow it to move freely. That’s the answer. If you want more, check out a video. She hadn’t answered the question from anyone on this subject. So I tried to help.
Great work, nice colors!
Thank you! Cheers!
Is beautiful that Butcher Block is so so beautiful♥️
So pretty hey? I am so
Happy with it!!
The moment we’ve all been waiting for..... 1:04
Damn she’s nice. Oh and the work is too. 🤣🤣🤣
Stop simping bro
@@destroyerofsimps6574 when did stating the obvious become simping? Glad you learned a new word. Now you just need to know when to use it.
