Most of us are shedding tears😭 when we see the price of 3/4 plywood. Jason uses it for one time use template😜 The tube life is GOOD🤣
Protip, get an XL bearing for your router and route the top right to the sink. This will let the wood over lap the sink perfectly. You really want the wood to hang over an undermount. So there is no area for water to pool. This also gives to a place to hide a bead of silicone. You need a bearing that's like 3/8 to 1/2 inch bigger than the flush cutter.
When we are installing butcher blocks we always collect all the cut outs from hobs and sinks and turn them into cutting blocks and give them back to the customer.
You should have gotten your shop supervisor to tighten up the miter bolts. He could have stood up doing it. 😊
Another great video. My son and I start our Saturday morning watching each week. Great way to learn a lot and get some inspiration to get something done this weekend. Sound effects are awesome too! Thanks for all the great content.
The section of butcher block countertop is the only thing we kept when we renovated our kitchen. Thanks for the tips here!
The struggle with building an enclosure around and over your washer and dryer is that the size of the machines is not consistent between brands over time. When I replaced the units in our home, the new ones were 3/4" taller and would not fit under the counter any longer. Another thing to consider is you are now locked into picking front loading machines.
Love the humor with the kitchen blocks 😂😂😂
the sound effects really help with the immersion
Thanks for the great video. I plan on putting butcher block counters in our beach condo this year and wondered how the 45 degree attachment worked. Thanks for educating me on that. All the best.
Totally been there! So glad you were down to showcase your mistakes. Makes growing into this hobby more inviting!
Only 4 minutes in and already loving it. A few years ago I made a 66" X 40" hard maple butcher block top for our dining room table. It is gorgeous. But, I vowed - never again. Recently, I replaced my main assembly bench and topped it with an "island sized" Birch butcher block from Wayfair (on sale). It is flat, smooth, heavy and looks great. I sealed it with several coats of 100% tung oil - nothing sticks to it. Thx.
i like the free mind finding the way out awkward situation, great tips ! really enjoying the work and the finishing, cheers
Thanks! I've got a butcher block install in a tiny kitchen coming up. I learned a bit more than I thought I knew. ;)
Discovered the IKEA butcher block counter tops years ago. A good choice. I built my SawStop job site stand (their gravity feed stand is way too large for my small shop) using a Menards pre-made hardwood composite/butcher block board for the stand top. Easy.
Jason, I noticed the well worn shop hammer you used to put the dominoes in. There must be a story! I still use my dad's hammer, an old blonde wood handle claw, almost every day. It still works great. Love your work and videos.

Love the video! I use the “shop vac trick” a lot when gluing up cracks or missed seams… One idea to try before you switch to paper flossing is to add tape to the crack on the end grain as well as some on the bottom side where you’re using the vacuum. I move the tape on the bottom around as I move the vacuum . That way air can’t come in through any part of the crack except where you applied the glue. Hope this saves you(or anyone for that matter) more time in the future than it took to read this comment!
What I learned in this video: make shallower flush trim template cuts, with the miter joints first. If you screw up the miter joint, you still have enough material left to make it again.
We call them plumbing fixtures XD
