#Joinery #Woodworking #ButchersBlock - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The best joinery channel on TH-cam love the attention to detail and the step by step explanation 👌
Cheers James. thats certainly good to hear!
Love the location of the cutting board at the end of the bench, and then there’s the bin directly underneath the edge. Very nice design. Great job on the construction.
Hi Rob, thankyou very much, There is a lot of thought and planning gone into this kitchen so hopefully it shows in places! Im proud of the result so far
I'm trying to take up woodworking as a hobby. In Korea, most people pursue cheap materials and quick work, but I envy your country's culture of being willing to pay a high price for good materials and technology.
Such a satisfying moment watching the shake repair. I'm a joiner/cabinet maker myself and thoroughly enjoy watching how approach different scenarios 👍
Cheers Tom, Yeah, if i hadn't filmed it, i wouldn't have been able to go back and find it, i had to watch the previous clip to locate it
Well done! No everyone would have thought of the drip groove, but it's a great idea. Only a woodworker would know it's a glue line cutter!
Cheers matey, yeah the drip groove will be a nice feature I think. Sat quite nice on the post as I remembered to allow the overhand and post last minute luckily 😊🤣🤣🤣
I've always thought finger joint glue lines are ugly and not something you want to see. But tell you what it looks mighty nice, the fact you staggered the line makes all the difference and it's quite attractive. Great work congrats!!
Cheers Leigh, yeah its really effective! i was asked to make the block to this pattern, not my idea and just pure luck its exactly the glue joint cutter i use!
Great result, whole kitchen looks good - look forward to seeing all the different parts coming together over the next while . Often when I’ve watched one of your videos I find myself saying I’m going to give that a go ! Good work inspires others to do good work so keep it coming 👍
Nice one David that is brilliant to read! Should be about mid Feb for a walk around depending on worktops 👍
Awesome as always! Regarding your OCD comment on the glue squeeze out, you made me think of the great Hunter S. Thompson (original gonzo journalist) who said "You will never know where the line is until you cross it."
Haha 👍 brilliant
It’s astonishing why you don’t have a million subscribers.. your craftsmanship is simply outstanding.
Haha i wish that was the case!! Ill keep trying
Lovely, a lot of work for a chopping board! I would want a chopping board on my chopping board 😁
Also I like your improvised trolley. Recon Andy at Manor Wood has the belt sander trolley dance perfectly worked out. However yours will be cheaper, sorry better value 😉
Haha that is what I said Doug, the customer cannot wait to get some knife marks and patina into it!
Lol! I didn't realise the belt sander trolley is a thing I'll have to look 🤣🤣🤣👍
As usual, incredible work!
Cheers Jason 🙌
You deserve a real Altendorf…👍👍
Cheers mate, id love one, but i havent the space!
Superb build as usual. Can I just say your back will thank you in years to come if you get yourself the felder fat 300 trolley. I work alone like you and it’s like having a spare pair of hands without the pay packet.
Cheers Simon, I'd like to make my own variant of that one day, would make a good video that 🤣
Nearly fell off my chair at the price but then it's probably worth it!
Another class bit of work Ollie, i bet it won’t want to be used at first. They’ll be a chopping board on the chopping board 🤣
Haha!! the customer is desperate to use it and get come cuts into it!!! hahaha
It’s such a joy watching you create beautiful work,your an inspiration to many a folk, keep up the great work.
Cheers for that Brian! :)
Such attention to detail and l’m sure you are one of the type of craftsman that never have to advertise as word of mouth gets you plenty of work. Perfection.
Cheers John, yes deffo no need to advertise! Hesitant about adding pictures to Instagram and videos to here as I always get work enquiries off the back of them and I struggle to keep up 🤣🤣👍
Fantastic workmanship as always guys 👍
Thankyou Lee 👍👍
Superb job, can't wait to see the full kitchen video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy 👍👍
Absolute beauty of a block that is!
Thankyou! Yes monster chopping block
Absolutely gorgeous, and perfect method for randomizing!
Cheers for that. Yes the randomizing had to be spot on for me and it turned out great
Such a nice colour combination! Block looks incredible!
I agree David, that green Island is my favourite!
Look forward to the kitchen tour Ollie, great work as always 👌
Cheers Jason, Hopefully ill finish it one day!!!haha
Great tip how you dealt with that end grain split!
Cheers Phil, yes certainly made it look alot neater! haha
@@BradshawJoinery I'm originally from the UK. I moved to the US years ago so it's nice to watch more purist woodworkers from back home in the UK. They taught us this in the school system. I work in port cranes and heavy lift trucks for a living, but have just set up a massive woodworking shop in my basement. I bought several FELDER machines plus a Laguna 10' x 5' CNC router with ATC installed. The FELDER machines are just the best. I love them. I have the updated version of the moulder/shaper you use with long sliding table and outrigger. that's a great machine. Sliding table saw is amazing also. I have the same bandsaw as you and then the 16" jointer (surfacer) planer. Also have the hammer sander, it's worth looking at. Like to see you do a video on glass panel french doors?? Have a good'n.
Real nice work 👍
Another beautiful and essential work from you my friend !!!
Thank you so much 😀Ianis!
That is such top quality, excellent workmanship
Cheers Andy 👍👍❤️🙌
Outstanding workmanship thank you for sharing this with us 👍👍👍👍
Thankyou Carl! Too kind!
Great job! That was a lot of work for that butcher block, but it should last long time.
Yeah surprised me how long it took!
Love the style of this video ☺
That's super good to hear 👍👍
Just found your channel superb , really enjoyed the repair, your attention to detail is spot on.
Thankyou Mark. I still remember lugging this thing around the workshop. aha
Beautiful work absolutely excellent
Thankyou Kind Sir
Only found your channel you do beautiful work
Cheers, your not alon, I've had 10k subs in last month! Thankyou so much 👍👍
Proper quality; and the kitchen too.
Regards Mark in the UK
Cheers Mark! It should be very nice indeed!
Consistently impressive, as per all your videos - so jealous of your ability!
Cheers Adrian, too Kind
Excellent work as always
Thankyou 😊
@@BradshawJoinery It is always a pleasure to watch your videos BJ - educational and without big words
Wow, Superb, as always! 👍
Thankyou Neil 🙌👍
Stunning piece of work, I’ve been doing the same type of work that you are doing in your videos for the last 40 years still doing it and loving it, just found your site and its lovely to watch someone else doing the same things and with the same skills I’ve built up over my years in the trade, am I obsessed with my passion ? I think I am, looking forward to the rest of your video.
Cheers Jim, its really a job you can enjoy, i find i work a lot but mainly that because its enjoyable! Where are you from Jim?
Stunning👍
Thankyou Mark!
This is so beautiful 😍
Thankyou Christina
Awesome work lad
Thanks Again mate
Wow Ollie, fab job and great result. That repair was brill, I need to use that on my boards when i end up with a check showing on the surface. So glad my workshop and equipment was nowhere near big or good enough to help you out on this one... To see you struggle with that hunk of timber on your belt sander gave me a bad back, never mind you .😂..Good rescue though with the trolley and bin.... Cheers Paul
Hey Paul, tbh I wa spanning on asking you to do this, but I have ended up making absolu5 everything else so it would not have been right so sub one part of it out 🤣
The trolley deffo saved a lot of lugging around.
You could have warned me how long it takes to sand end grain to a finish! Wowzers! 🤣🤣🤣
@@BradshawJoinery Good call Ollie, its going to look fab.... To be honest I messed my hands up sanding end grain boards..VWF. Hence why I purchased my Laguna 16/32 drum sander... keep up the good work and fab video content..loads to learn in every episode.
One word " superb " 👍
Thankyou Matthew
Great job Mate look's really good, Stay Safe !!!.
Thanks 👍
Absolute masterpiece.
Cheers Crazy Kansan 🙌👍
Really nice
Cheers Paul👍
Very good.
Thankyou Ha
rpreet
Outstanding !..
Cheers Michael 👍
Great work, I’d say going through the spindle at that speed would burn the groove but then I forgot your place doesn’t have blunt cutters like my employers 😂
haha its all about making the most of the cutters!!! Amen to that
@@BradshawJoinery at my work they’ve just made a butcher block too no where near as good as yours
As long as its looked after it will last a few generations im sure. Should leave care instructions for it. Beautiful work!
Cheers Chris, yeah its certainly has plenty of life to keep sanding it down and refresh!
Oh my god so beautiful l was thinking it would have been wonderful for me in my young days when my kids were small and sometimes they piss u off like kids do just picking up a piece of meat and letting all your anger out on it and feeling better afterwards loverly u are very talented.
Hahaa! All about getting rid of that frustration 🤣🤣
Everyone watching wishes they could work with wood to this level :)
Thanks for that, it's all fairly simple stuff at each step👍, the beauty of it is that anyone could do it!
Thank you for such a detailed video. I have never made a butcher block - but due to start one in a month or so; this video could not have been better timed for me.
I hadn’t thought of the “serrated” edges but I can see the advantages - I haven’t got a spindle moulder but I do have a finger joint bit for the router table.
I’m sure I was told not to use oak for a block as the tannins taint the food - but you get told a lot of things over the years.
I sympathise with the weight of that block. At my age, pieces a quarter of the weight are a real struggle; even a full sheet of 6mm MRMDF is too much although more for its size than its weight. Knowing that I had to find a solution and not being willing to pay £2500 for a FAT table, I looked around and found an assembly table where the height is operated by mains. It cost me £220 including transport and I made a torsion box on H/D castors to put it on. It’s heavy but I can push reasonably easily. What I do have is a table that I can lower right down to get timber out of the rack and then raise to all the different heights of table saw, planer, sander, router etc. I use it as an assembly table (great to raise or lower depending on what you are assembling), indeed table, outfeed table and a working platform when I was putting in extra lights. I genuinely could not do most of my stuff without it.
Hey THeo, No worries, I would advise caution in that the glue joint setup must be spot on to avoid gaps and thick glue lines! Im not sure the time any food will spend on the block will be able to have been tainted, Whiskey certainly does ok in Oak barrels anyway haha
Which assembly table do you have? Sounds good that.
Looks like TH-cam auto deleted your comment, did it have a link in it?
@@BradshawJoinery yes. Didn’t realise YT did that. Anyway, the all-steel main electric table; it’s quite a common item; comes in a variety of weight capabilities. Mine is 2 ton but I don’t need any of that. I mounted it on a torsion box with H/D castors. It’s mains which is small negative; but I put it at the right height for, say, timber from the rack, unplug it, take it to the planer, plug it and raise to the height of the bed etc. etc.
It’s proved invaluable for moving around the heavier pieces of oak. On Monday, I will finish off the drawers I’ve been making to go into the cabinets for tool and jig storage. I have one under the wing of my table saw containing the tools for that; another under the drill press for drill bits etc; one as a stand for the scroll saw etc etc. I have copied Stumpy Nubs cabinet for router bits - now that is a good idea.
Next job in the new workshop (thankfully only 50 yards from the old one but in a barn that we have converted) is a 3m boom arm; fixed to the wall at the pivot and in the square tube/torsion box, I will pass a power cable and a long dust collection hose. This will let me use the Festool/Bosch/Makita stuff on my workbench with the hoses coming down rather than trailing up from the floor and snagging.
I did buy a few secondhand office tambour cupboard. One is shelves only for jigs; another is drawers below shelves and the last one has drawer slides top and bottom with “vertical drawers” in between. I then use cleats to hang the various trays of chisels, screwdrivers plus holders for hammers, saws etc.
After that, I may then be able to get back to making stuff. I’ve got a couple of William Morris oak chairs started; a couple of behind-sofa tables and then it’s wall panelling. There is a long corridor where I’m putting Tudor-style panelling (essentially 15” square panels with trim inside) plus some carved panels (completed by a friend on his CNC) - all of this is in Medite because it needs to be painted. Then the new front entrance room in the same style except that this will be in European oak throughout with linenfold inserts that I’m making. To avoid it all looking like a pastiche, I’m not going to stain this panelling dark but something near smoked - Rubio do one.
Then………it’s a long list and I will be pushing up daisies before I get to the end of it.
Thanks for uploading new video i am your new subscriber🇵🇰
Thank you and welcome
Love the big workshop, I see your your using a lot or masking tape to plug the splits in your ducting pipes, surely that costs more than buying new pipe, I used to do that myself lol.
Then I found a really good Company selling extractor pipe at a sensible price, unlike some of the big well known companies trying to rip you off.
Anyway nice seeing you work as always, looks like you work alone? Do you not get a bit lonely?
Thanks, what is the company name you speak of. I have cheap masking tape but there becoms a limit haha
Is there a link for the SAND'BIN TROLLEY MK1? Seriously though, great work.
You could really use a height adjustable table like Felder fat 300 , Ruwi , Barth , etc
Yeah! i considder making one recently!
Just discovered this channel and it’s good to see another craftsman’s approach to working with timber. Very concerned though that the planner and spindle moulder were both being used without any eye protection. An absolute no no. Hopefully just a short lived oversight.
Cheers Buddy. I'm not advising others to not use eye protection, it is a no no tbh but I can't wear safety glasses all day they affect your vision over time.
I do put them on for any timber that is likely to split or splinter
@@BradshawJoinery hum!! Hopefully you’ll change that approach before it becomes unnecessary. In my experience injury usually occurs when something you’re not expecting happens.
Great job, you've put some work in it. That's a nice small SCM sander is it a single belt?
Cheers Tony! Yes it's a single belt, very compact I've put it on wheels and pull it out when I use it
Awesome! What stops the timber falling/ closing in on the blade when you make the horizontal cut? I thought it most be vacuumed/ sucked back, but it can’t be.
Just a little riving knife or something?
Yeah riving knife and if it's of any size just push the board against the slats and it doesn't drop 👍
I hv done both ! Straight grain oak blocks and end grain. Ppl often gasp and almost faint when they see the price difference! Also hv you ever tried a hard maple and walnut end grain? Beautiful ! I hv not got anyone to buy more that 2’ to 3’ of it but it’s beautiful!
Anyway you did a just bang up job!!
Yes, i suprised me how long it took to get the block sanded and flat! Never had much to do with maple atall. I bet that would take a week to flatten!!! Its bloody good to hear that from someone who is experienced in the matter
@@BradshawJoinery well thank you for the videos. Hard to find a pro Channel where other pros can watch , learn, see equipment we might need, work flow can be done w/o a table saw. Also like you used a glue joint on your shaper to make the block i never used that I just used high pressure clamping and a good water resistant glue (Tight Bond 3).
I do hv a glue joint bit and a large router table I might try it next time or invest in a nice used Shaper??
Anyway I appreciate the uniqueness of the format (more advanced) and look forward to more!!
Well that's good to hear, I've watched a few other channels who started at a similar time progress qui Ker but putting more simplified content on. Frustrating but I've tried to stay true to my reason for doing TH-cam... Helping people!
I'd definitely get a spindle moulder. Tilting one ideally as you'll need less cutter blocks. For solid timber work they are kinda essential
@@BradshawJoinery what do I know??? But if I was you focusing on the professional carpenter/jointer (in the States we call it Finish Carpentry)
@@BradshawJoinery cont: and the machinery we need to function . I also fix and make stairs. I hv got by with a big router under an “Infinity Table”. And jigs using various tools!
I agree a Spindle Moulder is essential although you can get by by spending more time making speciality moulding !
Using my Table Saw with items such as 8 1/4 “ flat bottom grind blade !
Still time consuming and prevents you (me) from making a lot of speciality items!! Anyway hang tough!
I was just wondering if your panel saw came from B&Q and then a B&Q advert popped up!
Did you say something out loud or just think it? 🤣 Maybe Google can read minds now 😖
Can you explain your glue choice? Does it set faster than say titebond 3? Great repair job 😊
yes very fast, and incredibly strong. It also has flexibility, so will accomodate any movement and as these are wide joints you want as much of that as possible, I like the fact it swells into the grain, rather than runny glue which can soak in and not contact the opposing part. Ive used PU glue for years now and it hasn't failed me yet. It likes pressure for strength in glue up. Titebond 3 would take days to glue up
Fantastic work as ever. Looking forward to the kitchen build too.
The prime Oak slabs look gorgeous too. Is it a local supplier you use?
Cheers Ryan, the oak for the block came from Lathams, the english oak is from nelson butler and the wide slabs for drawers from Sykes timber
@@BradshawJoinery Thanks for the info. That's brilliant. I'll give Nelson Butler a call/visit soon and mention you passed their details on. 👍
Hey! Nice work! How do you like that festool beltsandet? I am on the fence on buying one....
Thanks! It's a fantastic bit of kit for more precise sanding, the frame really makes it. You can set it so it won't tough the surface of some veneer but it will sand the lipping off as the brush will compress and allow the sander to do so. I use it all the time. It does go through the graphite pads quite quickly so I'd always have a pack of them in handy. Not great, sorry terrible for dust collection even with the Hoover.
What will the attachment to the cabinet be? There will be a substantial amount of expansion and contraction. I know this from experience.....lol.
Best off with big holes in plywood with big washers bridging the holes to allow for any movement... But if you acclimate your timber correctly it wont move(as this hasnt!) Still sits as it was installed even the sealant is still intact. I acclimated the timber for 6 months, to an exact standard, and it made a huge difference
Is joiner what we would call a cabinet maker over here in the states? (Don't really work in people's homes but will build cabinets, sometimes repair pieces brought and maybe even do some custom furniture depending on the shop)
No, this is cabinetry work, i am traditionaly a Joiner but transition between cabinetry, furniture and joinery.
Looks great, but poses the question of why most butcher's blocks these days are end grain. Is it just form, or is there some practical function?
Cheers james, it means you can cut into the black, say with a cleaver and not splinter any wood off, it just sinks into the grain.👍
@@BradshawJoinery Seems like a more viable entry point for bacteria. Butchers have a cleaning schedule they adhere to every day that I doubt domestic users follow. Maybe you should think about providing a care schedule for each block you produce to cover your arse.
Mind if I ask, how do you find that Felder jointer? I've been looking at them and Hammer combi machines lately and would love your opinion on it
Brilliant, get the silent power cutter. The only problem.ive had is with the thickness drive wheel, it's a rubber coated wheel that drives off the main motor shaft, if you stall the timber (say it's wedge shaped and it stops) then the spindle shaft eats into the rubber where it stops and then it's a case of replacing or sanding the whole rubber wheel down. Not a 5 minute job
I love the accuracy of it though, wouldn't go back to a heavy old style planer
Very good project yet again.
One thing that keeps catching my eyes is the glue your using, I can't find much about it online.
I assume it's PU ? What's the set time on it I'm wondering myself if it, Or something similar would be suitable for a large glue up iv got coming up shortly rather than traditional TB2.
Cheers Scott, The glue is PU. I use various brands they are all a little different tbh. The Wurth one is very thick and doesnt expand too much! Personally avoid the stuff un a bottle and only use the caulk gun style cartridges. it can get messy quick so use gloves and try not to get it anywhere that is seen in the finish product as its a git to remove. Itll be getting tacky in 5 minutes on normal timber. I glued a normal panel door up with it on here and you can see how close i was to not getting it together, and i know not to hang about!
What is the glue up?
@@BradshawJoinery hi dude
Iv used the bottle stuff when I put the workshop roof on 😂 never again.
A herrinbone top , 2000*900, I'm considering two options right now. But worry about span / sag. The customer has opted for industrial metal X frame legs, so no clear support over the length. Span between legs will be 1650
Option one - 2*2frame + 18mm ply then the herringbone on top.
Option two - a solid top made from 40mm thick redwood, fixed in with glue and 10-12mm dowells along the way. This allows me to clamp up in smaller sections too.
I figured if I go the latter I can use quick setting glue and get clamps on as I go, rather than trying to glue up in one big piece.
Largest clamps I have are 1500 , ideally I want a glue up done in one day.
Any thoughts welcomed
I would deffo have a stable base like plywood, the. Glue as many as you feel confident and then clamp. You could always use folding edges from a block screwed to the plywood.
Can add in an extra piece of you felt you had loads of time still next time, clamp it for 10 minutes then carry on. Avoid too much glue near your edge your clamping to next so there is minimal cleanup. Between glue ups
It might need balancing on the underside to stop the ply warping or as you say a frame. I'd perhaps use some similar material underneath.
can't see slamming a cleaver on that gorgeous butcher block, or even using it to slice .
Customer cannot wait to use it! haha
normal exceptional work Ollie bet that cost a bob or two
Cheers Pete, it took way longer than I expected it to! 🤣🤣🤣 Way way longer
@@BradshawJoinery You get jobs like that every now and again ,Its a learning process next one you charge more . Then you don't get another for ages . lol
What kind of glue did you use? Is it food safe?
Hi Graham, i used PU, Inert once cured, i wouldnt worry too much about adhesive food safe rating, more the finish coat is important.
Do you always work alone?
Yes pretty much
Opoxy resin that backboard
Hi matey what do you mean by backboard?
as much as i like your videos, please do something about the typo choice, this slimy green/punky vibe does not match with your intro, nor with your main avatar pic - its just soooo ugly :-( my guess is, that you could reach out further with a more consistent choice of typo througout your production vibe, not to mention that punk and metal attitude could not be further away from carpentry -
Amazing how some can criticise even the most generous!
Harsh and rude mate, get some manners
We are constantly working on the channel, until now it hasn't been a big issue, we were just trying to put professional info out there for others to find as there is very limited amount available. The visuals and feel of the videos wasn't the main priority. If you were seeking the info in some of these videos like at one point I was, I can tell you for sure, I wouldn't have been moaning about them.
I can see your point if looking at some of them from an entertainment point of view, but you'll just have to stick with it for now.
Thanks Neil, I don't mind criticism it does help most of the time, but there are ways of wording things that help 🤣👍
Thankyou Project Livesy, like I said above there are ways in which wording things can help be more constructive than offensive. 👍
