Good video, but there were some pretty important parts left out. Clamp the mitered parts after gluing, then sand it the seam after the glue is set. Seal the entire block instead of just the underside. Apply sealant around the sink. Vapor barrier on the underside where it goes over the dishwasher. The dishwasher’s drying cycle produces a lot of warm steam that can penetrate the sealant over time. And Show how the block is secured to the cabinets.
I’m about to do this to my kitchen and I thank you for pointing out some things I never would have thought of like the moisture barrier for the dishwasher! I’ve screen-shotted your comment for future reference, thanks!
The strength would be similar, the joint is mitered for visual appeal. Look up stumpy nubs kitchen counter top for a better in-depth video.
Thanks. I'm replacing gross water-damaged laminate from over a dishwasher. Vapor barrier is a good hint. :)
And how did they scribe it in? Before the miter? After? I’m sure the corner and walls aren’t perfectly square and plumb.
Totally agree. They didn’t show HOW they attached the cabinets for one. There’s a Lowe’s video that’s much more informative.
“How to install butcher block countertops” Well you cut out the sink hole, stain it and now look, it’s all installed!
By far best "INSTALLATION" video on RUclips ever!!!!! Now I can start my own countertop installation business myself 😂😂😂
I’m getting ready to tackle this job in my new kitchen 👌
So pretty!
so I just dropped my top mount sink in, but the clips are to small. What size do I need? help please
Hi Jake From Hardwood Reflections✋🏼
What type of saw blade did you use for cutting out the opening for the sink?
How did you join the sections under the sink?
Spit
Duct tape, silly
What was that metal piece you used when cutting the miter with the circular saw? Does it help with keeping a straight cut?
That's a Kreg track guide. I haven't used the kreg so can't say how good it is. Similar results can be achieved with a track saw, aftermarket guide like the Kreg setup, or a straight edge clamped to the top. The main advantage of a track saw or a guide is that they usually have anti-splinter strips that will prevent tear-out on the cut. This can also be achieved by putting painter's tape over the cut and using a straight edge to pre-score the cut with a sharp knife.
did you use anything to protect the countertop, especially around the sink where it gets wet all the time?
Around the sink we sometimes use some polyurethane.
Where is the installation part?
I just posted a full install video. Its about 20 min long, but covers a lot of information.
@@HardwoodReflections Thanks
Could I use dow pins instead of biscuits? What blade on your saw did you use? I have a fine tooth. Does it make a difference?
Dowels would actually be better as it makes a stronger joint
How did you seal/attach the pieces at the seam under the sink?
Emma-used some pocket screws before I added the sink. To make the seam look good I used some wood filler. Clear coated the top with Hardwood Reflections top coat when done.
@@HardwoodReflections I to was interested in why seam in middle of sink and how it was joined. Would love to see that part of assembly.
So...are there any concerns about seasonal expansion/contraction of the wood and the fact that you glued the 45 degree mitered joints together?
Andy-I like to use a 1/8" space between the back of the wall the the countertop. I have the beech butcher block in an winterized cabin (gets down to zero) with no problems.
Miter bolts underneath. Ya have to watch multiple videos
Is it possible to use an under mount sink if so what is the best way to seal the exposed wood.
Yes. I like to use a poly and several coats around the undermount sink.
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.
10 and 2. Your gut knows
Excellent work and finished product. Can you share the sink you used for this install?
HI Matt - Sorry, but we don't have record of the sink details.
Just looking for knowledgable peeps from this thread to comment as I am about to tackle this job and was wondering about the butt joint at the sink… is it really a good idea to do it there so you don’t see it? My first thought was because of the lack of material on either side (front and back) of the sink wont make a strong join? Or is it irrelevant and in fact the better option since you wont see much of the joint?
What is the best sealant to make them water, scratch, and semi heat resistant? I've been looking into epoxy but haven't made a decision yet.
I like plain old mineral oil.
Look at waterlox or amr-r-seal
Hi there, are there any concerns having the joint right near the sink? Is that an issue with water? We are hoping to do coming similar with a farmhouse sink. Would it be okay to just have one joint behind the sink?
I’m doing a farmhouse sink and have two joints, on the back left and back right. I am using type 3 titebond glue and routed 1” mortise and tenon joints for extra support for the faucet and it’s plumbing (might be overkill but it’s my thing).
How do you actually attach the counter to the cabinets? I have not been able to find the answer in any of your videos.
We screw up from underneath the top. Cabinets are the wildcard. Usually we measure the cabinet roof and want to get our screws 1" into the butcher block. Do not go through the wood.
Cool, but how do you INSTALL it
Check out the new full install video we just posted. It gives way more detail.
Great job guys. Easy to understand. But the whole house is not transformed yet haha
All this taught me was to call Hardwood Reflections to do my countertops.
Taught me to use my Bosch worm gear saw, with a good blade
Where are you guys located? My orders been in transit for a millenium
Sorry about the wait. We are in South Dakota. Lots of demand and we are playing catchup.
I didn't see how you connected the 2 boards under the sink.
Big Nate's a goddamn gangster.
Fact.
Didn't discuss usign food safe stain if your putting food on it.
How would you do it for under mount farmhouse sink and waterproof it
No problem. I have a farmhouse sink in my house with the EU Walnut Butcher Block. I used the Hardwood Reflections top coat. You could also use a polyurethane.
Research tung oil for sealing the wood to make it water proof. The best product is Waterlox.
Whats the size of the wood?
We have 4', 6', 8' and 10' sections.
@@HardwoodReflections Thanks
I wonder how it sustains water drops all over the sinks when washing dishes?
Since we stained and then did a top coat no problem. If you use a poly also no problem. Mineral oil will need to be reapplied every 6-10 months if you choose that option.
You might want to turn the hammer drill setting off to regular drill
it was an impact driver! crazy
I use a microfiber rag to apply stain. Faster and easier to even out.
Good tip! We've not used that option yet. Thanks for the comment.
You did not address the joints at the sink center. That is the weakest area.
My buddy Big Nate is far bigger than yours.
Lmao you didnt show how to install the countertops. Literally the title of the video and you messed it up.
Dam I watched because the KEY word used in title “INSTALLED” you didn’t show anything on how to install them. Smh thx for nothing. On to the next video for help. 👎
