please show us how to do, not just tell your plan!

Great solution! I had a vinyl fence installed professionally with an 8 foot double gate with two drop rods. The installers used PVC pipe below the ground level so after opening my gate two or three times PVC d holders are filled with dirt!! .. . Looks like I’ll have a project to do ….. thanks for the solution.!

Yeah that'll hold for about a week 👍

How many coats of gel stain did you apply and how long do you allow it to dry before applying the poly. Then, how long between each coat of poly do you allow to dry? Do you sand the final voat of poly? Thanks.

How long do you usually wait between polyurethane coats. I know you said you like six or seven thin coats of the wipe on. How long do you go between each one of those. Thanks

Water base poly vs Waterlox to seal and finish it? Do you have any experience with waterlox or opinions on using it in place of the poly?

I am installing bb counter tops with a poly finish. I’ve sanded the tops with 220 grit 3 times and it still feels “hairy “ in places. Does it have to be completely slick before I apply the poly?

After you mineral oil is applied, how long after do you gel stain?

Does the hole get clogged?

Do butcher block countertops last without staining them? Because I love the natural color of mine but I’ve been told they won’t last as long if I don’t stain them

When glueing the sink to the counter top, did you also use fasteners? Thanks for sharing this video!

Great idea. I was trying to figure something out. Do you need a hammer drill for that ? I only have a regular drill

So you use a water based polyurethane. Does this cause any long term problems? Does it not need to be a good grade sealant?

On the butcher block countertop, what gel stain did you use and what poly did you use? Do you do multiple coats of the stain? Thank you!

Great explanation of the differences.

If I could give you a million thumbs up for this, I would. I'm always dumbfounded by how many engineers and managers don't understand this.

Question... do you use anything other than the silicone to mount that sink? I know it's fairly strong, but I would have thought using some form of mechanical lock (washers and screws, etc...) would be a good follow-up option. No? Thanks!

You just buy the same she glued factory panels? Those are definitely not slabs they are edge glued panels not even true end grain or even edge grain butcher block slabs come on now seriously?

I'm putting on new bb counters in the coming weeks but and torn between poly and oil/conditioner. I like protection of poly but don't want to lose that wood feel. Is there a big difference in feel?

Is using poly food safe?

Did you use oil or water based poly? Thanks for the helpful info

Just wondering why after the stain was applied. Why did you cut out the sink and then have to restain the area that was cutout. Would it have been easier to make all the cuts before staining the piece?

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is a true craftsman!

Excellent information and well done on the presentation!

This looks great, thanks for the video. I plan on installing butcher block countertops in my garage kitchen. How soon after application of mineral spirits do you apply the stain? Is there any concern around the sink with moisture/should extra coats of poly be applied? Also, would you mind posting the brand and type of poly and stain used?

This is the best ad from a builder ive ever seen. It was more than just an ad. Its an invaluable pre quote consult. Id be picking up the phone, but im in Australia so im sticking with my plan B, which is taking the risk of building my own covered deck. It is a risk too, because im an amatuer, but such is my frustration with the quotes I got down under. I hope you do some DIY vids!

if i stained and poly’d my countertops already is there a way i can redo and use your method i stead ? and is there such thing at too many coats of poly ?

Looks great! I'm in the middle of a bar build and am in need of a top just like this!

GREAT video... wish you did work in Las Vegas, lol

I just got a $75k quote (from what I thought was a reputable contractor) for a 400 sq. ft. shed (flat) roof over an existing patio! All I could do was laugh at that price 😂 Metal roof but otherwise wood. Electrical not included. Nothing itemized. By the way, I asked for a gabled roof and described the electrical elements I wanted during the consultation before receiving the quote.

Did I just see you have to draw something out before you built it????? 😉 Beautiful work as always. Truly a gifted family of craftsmen.

Great video and spot on. Question- since I'm not in your local area, do you still offer design services, cost breakdown for other states? If not cost due to material price differences and labor cost, but material alone would be awesome. What would be a rough design estimate only if that is possible? Regards- Bruce

Been there, done that, on an entire 1890s house. It sucks, but it's the ONLY way to get it done. Great job!

Very well done!!! If you guys ever extend your range out to the Brazil area, I want on your list!

Now there is a guy and a company that gets it. Its about people, process, product. The flaw with some contractors is that the don't have a design and scope of work based on the design. Then to line item all details out with costs per line item. It puts the customer in a position to make individual choices after they see the costs of certain materials and certain ways to have it built versus other options. This puts the customer in control, with full details and the company is there to guide them through design build and finished product. Excellent job, You guys get it!!! I would do business with you.

Would you like to review the solar spotlight?

Are you in Florida ?

Bobby, excellent video laying out the Truth! lol So many people don't understand the design process and then get mad at the builder when it doesn't come out right. To be fair, there are a lot of bad builders out there who are actually willing to take a job without going through the design process and that only sets the customer up for failure and disappointment.

I was a student in your 2015 English class. Still by far my favorite class in all of high school. Its awesome to see the amazing work you always talked about in class. My dad has been a carpenter his whole life, and from what I can see, you do some amazing work! Glad to see that your business is growing. I wish you the best!

Do you build screen in porch. My name is Debra.

Super cool, Bob. Another creative and highly skilled Williams. Looking' distinguished sporting the pipe, too.

So cool, Mr. Williams! This was so fun to watch, and the end result is awesome!

LOVE it Bob! Keep doing what you're doing brother. Great stuff!

Family. Heritage. Legacy. These words sum up this table so well for me. The picture at the end shows three of my four children standing next to the table, playing chess on the board that their great-great-grandfather built, in the garage formerly occupied by their great-grandfather, that was built by their grandfather, on a table built by their father using tools used by all. It is an emotional picture for me...a picture of what is most important in this life: Family.

Absolutely beautiful!! I'd be more interested in the software you're using.

Love it... Mind if I ask what CNC you are using?

Holy Cow! My Niece is AWESOME!!!!! She looks just like Karen in this video and she clearly gets her talent from her as well!
