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.
@ohjolt2 11 днів тому
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.

I love the irony of using festool where you're paying extra for excellent dust collection that is very easy and convenient, and then not using it. And the dust collection helps keep your bits and blades cooler with the constant airflow, so you really should be using it, if only for that, and not to save your lungs.

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.

@allensteindavid 12 днів тому
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!

@csimet 13 днів тому
Haha, glad to see others don't always have perfect builds! Hiding mistakes is the real test. 😆 I would have gone with assembly in two parts... using a long 1/4 to 3/8" hardwood spline joint, but leaving about an inch at the face so the edge does not get messed up. It would allow you to slip it into place in the room and adjust, unlike the issue with the dominos. A few strategic pocket holes on the underside to pull it into place and permit the glue to dry.
@scorpiorysing 12 днів тому
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.

@mountainlightwoodcraft 12 днів тому
Jason, the Domino XL Quick Connectors are absolutely brilliant for connecting large-scale miters like that. I use them all the time on butcher block miters and they pull the joint together like King Kong. Would love to see you use and review them in a future video to expose more makers to this amazing connector system. BTW: I use the same system (much smaller, of course) with my Domino 500, and it is a toy by comparison.

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.

I should have known better, I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming, but I learned my lesson. 😅 I am contemplating changing my island to butcher block and you definitely gave me some confidence since I have to cut an opening for my stove. Mine is a little more complex because I have a small section for eating, and a complex cut at the junction where stove meets counter, not going to bore you any ,more. But, thanks! 😅

as an appliance repair technician and you call for service on your washing machine I would walk in there look at it and tell you to dismantle your whole jail that you put the machines into before I can service it and maybe come back another day. it's fine to put wood over top of it but you did not leave enough room for the machines to move as the washer spins at 2400 RPMs. it would have been better to have it so you could easily remove the top above the appliances.

Use French cleats on the bottom of the counter over the washer and dryer. One across the back and a little one on the wall side to keep it tight. Easy to quickly remove and access the dryer and water hoses to clean up the mess when the wife decides she can clean the water filter on that front load washer. Ask me how I know 😂

Watch out for the box store acacia countertops. They're mostly sapwood that can be dented with your thumbnail. Mine was also full of sanding swirls and low spots that you can't see through the plastic film until you unwrap it at home. I ended up sanding and leveling mine because I'm an idiot who does things the hard way. Plus, the price was decent and I wasn't confident I'd get a better one if I exchanged it. Mine is for a bar table that won't see much hard use. I'd never want it for a kitchen counter though because of how soft the sapwood is.

I've never tried it myself, however you could try the Invis Mx system that allows for invisible joinery. It uses a magnetic drill driver and captured screw to pull the joint togetger. Not sure if it is beefy enough to pull together the butcher block, but it is a really cool tool.

@davescott5335 13 днів тому
Have you thought about the access to the washer and dryer when there is a problem with them? They are HHEAVY and lifting them out of the cabinet will not come without much difficulty. Also the access to the shutoff valves for the washer seems to be a bit tight to operate them after and to access the flex hoses from the valves to the washer. Also how do you install the plumbing for the sink? I seem to remember that you did not have access to the bottom of the butcher block from under the sink? Just want to know what your thoughts are.

@dogface6040 12 днів тому
when sizing enclosures for appliances, realize that (yes, some years in future) replacing the washer/dryer might require a wider cabinet. Replacing the cabinet frame is one thing, but ending up with a butcher block 1/2" short would be annoying, so I'd make the appliance cover block 1/2~1" longer than currently needed. [Appliances are usually made with compatibility of dimension--particularly width and height--at an industry standard, BUT there can be small variances that will drive the future you nuts.]
