Maybe better identified as a regular wood counter? I’m thinking butcher block is usually side grain or end grain. Good video, glad I found your channel.
Thank you for showing such a simple way to build/use a DIY router sled! I've watched so many videos of people who over-complicate the constructability of them. Seems like this gets the job done!
I would love to know how you built your cutting cabinet! So you have a video for THAT?? Love this, I just found your channel today. We were looking into building a closet. Yours was perfect! We watched concrete walkway, raised garden bed and then I saw this, we've been watching your videos for almost an hour now.
Hey! Can you give us an update on how well it held up?My husband does not believe me that the wood won't warp and be a huge pain in the neck. (we are looking for a cheap option for kitchen counters) Have they held up? Thanks so much!
It has help up really well actually. To prevent the warping you can add the finish on both top and bottom. moisture soaking into the wood over time causes warping and that is typically from the bottom being unfinished. This is softer wood so we have seen small dents in the wood if hard items are dropped on it. However, the nice part is if you need to a clean it up a little you can add a fresh coat of finish on the wood and it will look like new.
Thanks! I saw this idea from another persons and just modified it for a larger scale. It works really well. I used regular construction grade lumber. I believe it is southern yellow pine. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Here is a link to the type of router bit I used. www.lowes.com/pd/Bosch-3-4-in-Carbide-Tipped-Hinge-Mortising-Router-Bit/1079187
I have a link for the type that I used www.lowes.com/pd/Bosch-3-4-in-Carbide-Tipped-Hinge-Mortising-Router-Bit/1079187 I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
I imagine so. as long as the Watco sealer repels water and moisture it should work. is moisture is allowed to absorb into the wood it will cause damage over time and possibly cause the wood to warp over time. Hope that helps!.
The vanity or cabinet should have boards at the top running parallel with the counter top. these are used to strengthen the cabinet but also the best place to attached the counter top. I screwed up through those boards into the counter top. you want to make sure your screws are not too long or else they will poke through the top of the countertop. Hope that helps!

Beautiful! I'm hoping for this counter in my kitchen.
Thanks! This countertop would be beautiful for a kitchen! :)

Thanks! 😄
Great video. Just too many power tools needed for me 😞. But it’s really pretty the countertop 👍
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
You really massage that wood. Wow!
Thanks!
Excellent video
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Looks amazing great job. My only minor critique would be the electric sockets on either side of the sink is very dangerous at that level
They are gfci protected

Very helpful
What a brilliant idea of planing a wide surface! What wood type did you use?
Thanks! I saw this idea from another persons and just modified it for a larger scale. It works really well. I used regular construction grade lumber. I believe it is southern yellow pine.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! What router bit did you use to plane the board?
Thanks, I appreciate it! Here is a link to the type of router bit I used.

Where did you get the faucet set? I love the colors
i have a ryobi router, can u tell me what the best bit would be to perform this? something similar to what u use.
Sure, I used a 45˚ Chamfer Router Bit like the one here - www.lowes.com/pd/Bosch-Carbide-Tipped-Chamfer-Router-Bit/1000580265

@@SimonSaysDIY Thanks!
This is yellow pine wood?
Yes it is.
how did you install the sink
I actually posted a video about that. ruclips.net/video/p8WTfChQsbE/видео.html
Let me know if you have any questions! :)
Hi, do you think I could use watco food safe sealer for a kitchen countertop build? Would it be sufficient or would you use poly acrylic ? Thanks
I imagine so. as long as the Watco sealer repels water and moisture it should work. is moisture is allowed to absorb into the wood it will cause damage over time and possibly cause the wood to warp over time.
Hope that helps!.
How did u attach the wood to the vanity?
The vanity or cabinet should have boards at the top running parallel with the counter top. these are used to strengthen the cabinet but also the best place to attached the counter top. I screwed up through those boards into the counter top. you want to make sure your screws are not too long or else they will poke through the top of the countertop.
Hope that helps!
@@SimonSaysDIY I just used liquid nails. The top i replaced was attached with something similar. Thanks for the reply nonetheless 😬
@@zloungeact I have seen that done before, nice job! that should hold really well.
@@SimonSaysDIY thanks man let's hope so!
Put the guard back on the table saw...so many people end up losing fingers due to taking the guard off.
Very true, Thanks! I am actually wanting to get a SawStop table saw. They are incredible and will definitely save your finger if you slip up!
@@SimonSaysDIY
Awesome technology on those, just wanted everyone to be safe!
Nice countertops, but they’re not butcher block…they’re just wood countertops.
Left an email. Get back please simon
