I can’t find the second part of this video would love to watch the finished product we are almost about to start our project and this is really inspiring! Cheers
In the thumbnail, it's totally finished. That's what I need to see! Do you have any videos of finishing wood like this? All the videos I've watched use epoxy. I don't want to use epoxy. I was hoping to see your bar/table finish.
We are cutting slabs from just dead ash (still high moisture) can you talk about how to dry or treat the slab before it arrives at the point of your video??
I like it! I was a little concerned about those legs being temporary but when you mentioned the metal legs at the end that will be more than enough to support it! Also.. Wouldn't hurt to throw a beautiful bow tie or two into that split!
If you use epoxy you might want to finish the underside too to have it all encapsulated, the slab takes and releases moisture a lot less that way. That would be done before setting the slab in place but it would have taken an extra day. There are a lot of oil finishes that are very effective on bar tops, they leave a more natural feeling to the surface but require a bit more maintenance from the homeowner though. Since a slab like that moves with the seasons maybe making it removable could have been a good idea in case it needs to be reworked. I was told that all those trees would have to be destroyed its nice to see they can be used
So as noted below you said the plugs were an inch and a quarter but you went half to 3/4... what was the diameter of the plugs you are using? I'm trying to do the same thing with an 8' butcher block top.
Just installed tile on the sink side of the wall...so how would I install the bar without being able to screw those screws in at a diagonal? Any suggestions?
Great show, and one suggestion is could do one episode for what kind of tool you using, and dig down to detail like how is different toll can make different finish or different range of work. And if you can be like make up youtuber, they always list what kind of tool they use in each episode and always detail to model number.
Couple of natural hard wood finishes that I like may be an option for tops like this, Rubio Monocoat and OSMO Hardwax Oil. I'm not a big fan of epoxy finishes, over time they have some big drawbacks.
I would have to agree with jpccola, When using a natural edge slab I would prefer a natural looking finish. I have had good success with the Rubio Monocoat as well. It provides a nice satin finish with durability. Rubio was formulated as a floor finish so it is quite durable.
I assume the base of this was a strong base considering the weight of the wood top? If i wanted to do this in my basement what would you suggest i do for a base? I’m an infant when it comes to this stuff so please excuse my inexperience if there is an obvious answer to this. Thanks in advance!!! Love your channel!!
I do woodworking on the side as a hobby and my wife and I just moved into our son's house she wants to redo the kitchen and wants to live Edge slabs 1 7 foot 1 8 foot how would you cut and join a slab. So that you have 26" if your local Mill can only cut 24in maximum?
Great videos by the way. Do you have any basement bar plans that you use? Or do you design it as you go? If you have some, I would gladly pay-pal you some money for them. Thanks and Regards, Warren Lange
I subscribed and joined! I can’t find the followup video to this one. Why is that? I’m doing pretty much the same thing except it’s an L shaped live edge counter.
I subscribed and joined ($6.99 US /month) found the link to the finished project video and when I clicked on it, I got an error that the video is private. What a disappointment. The videos are great, but this is the very disappointing. At the end of the video you encourage comments and assure that you read them all. I guess I’m hoping you get to this before I cancel my membership in frustration.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Bummer, however this video is pretty good as far as an installation process. My project is also a kitchenette style bar top, but will be in an L. At the L origin is a post that I need to cut around. For that I've made a template out of birch plywood. I'm still scratching my head as to whether I'll be able to use your 1x4 template and wooden dowell technique.
Wait sooo the plugs were inch and a quarter aaaand half of that is 3/4?? Am I the only one that caught that?? I’m assuming the plugs were actually inch and a half lol
Thank you for the great video, just about to begin doing our kitchen, thinking about making custom cabinets, love your live edge bar, any idea where we can get the slab in ontario for a good price? and suggestions for our small kitchen. Thank you again for the videos
Looks swanky,,thanks for posting! Waiting for the rest of the finish, in due course. :) Must try to adopt this style ..where can you buy such a size of Ash?
Not yet Sir.. taking a pause for now - career calleth! :) But thanks for checking, how do you even keep a tab. Mighty nice mate - Canadian politeness at its best. We rock!!
I do have a question about an upcoming project. I have a patio that I will post a picture of that I want to convert into a bathroom. the open area and an outdoor closet with a concrete slab that I think I will have hack hammer out and dig out 2 feet down for the plumbing. I'm just not sure how to attach the subfloor level with the rest of the house and existing crawlspace without damaging the foundation. lol, I have so many questions. I just noticed i can't attach a picture. Google 400 knox ave vine grove ky
I see the plugged holes..... Just how cranky where you when you realized that something had gone wrong and you had to redo the project? I know it's not fun having to re-shoot sequences!
Was disappointed when I saw the metal plates I thought it was one piece? and the filler in the back meant mistakes were made then no finished pictures, not good
WOW - I am extremely not a fan of that wooden countertop - that's where the north american and European market differentiate and why we call that side of the world "obsessed with wood". It's either laminate tops or a nice stone product used in our kitchens in the UK. Nonetheless this vid is useful for peeps regardless. Thanks.
This was a basement bar. And yes we love wood. Still lots of it around in this part of the world. We also love to reclaim old barns and rail cars and such.
Home RenoVision DIY yep you cant beat reclaimed/re-using wood - i have tons of it in my place! Just some places where we prefer a different material. Really enjoy your videos despite my disagreement with the wood countertop :), nice and explained vids with calmness personified.
Well I'm European too but I do love the look and feel of wood where ever I can find the use, for it, I do have a quartz countertop in my kitchen tho, but some serving trays and coasters in wood would be great.

I've watched everyone of your posts 5 or more times. you helped me so much with this house flip and can't thank you enough.
I am humbled and also excited. This is our vision to help people get handy again. Congratulations on the flip!
Stunning! I love the reclaimation. So glad you didnt lose that beautiful wood to decay. You make it look easy btw lol
Glad you like it!! My new favorite counter top!
I like it! I was a little concerned about those legs being temporary but when you mentioned the metal legs at the end that will be more than enough to support it! Also.. Wouldn't hurt to throw a beautiful bow tie or two into that split!
I hear that. We just used a mending plate instead on the underside. Bowties are cool but take a little more time than I had on this one.

Good idea, however ijn this country we regulate the temperature and humidity in our conditioned spaces so this kind of chANGE never happens. Cheers!

I want to watch the next video that shows how to finish it, but I cannot find it. Can you post the link

I like the dowel idea but don't see that longer overhang edge staying put when someone leans on it.
Just found ur channel and i have been binge watching all ur projects lol
WOW, try not to loose the whole weekend watching. There is always next week.lol
It is hard to stop watching. So much to learn!
Me too.
You are not alone! He is a great teacher!
Is there a place where we can source the slab of wood?

And if you can be like make up youtuber, they always list what kind of tool they use in each episode and always detail to model number.
Thanks, I ise a lot of basic tools if I think they need explanation then I will be sure to give it.
Awesome. If I had to add a 90 angle to that top, any suggestions? Working with a 12” mitre saw (no slide), a job site table saw, or a circular saw...
buy some better tools like a track saw. Cheers!
Emerald ash borer my friend. Nasty insect

i installed on a 2x3 wall and used gas line pipe for the supports. Cheers!
Love this. Almost done my version, just wondering where did you get the metal threaded rod and the base?? Salute from Toronto :)
they sell this pipe at home depot in plumbing. it is used for gas lines. Cheers!
Very good video. I am going to make one .Thank you very much.
Let me know how it goes. Cheers!
i can't find the finished look, anybody can share the link?
Love your videos, I have a question though. Wouldn't it be better to offset the holes to make it less likely to tip over?
sure. I used legs of course so that solves that problem.

Mr.Thorman everything you do is great good job 👍
Good to hear from you again. Glad you liked it!
That's absolutely beautiful
Thank you Heather
Looks fun
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Can you show how to cut a live edge slab on a 45 degree angle for say an L-shaped bar top?
simply create a center line and then mark off 45 based on that not the edge. Cheersz!

use a track saw to cut 2 pieces and then pocket screw it together with glue, sand and finish. tada!
Jeff, I also cannot find the video showing you finishing the counter top. The videos are not dated to look for the next day's taping.

Thanks Kris. I think I will be doing a lot of this style of work in the near future

yes! remove a wall. Just make sure that you build enough counter space. sometimes a galley functions better than a c shape
Maybe I missed it, but you mentions having to wait until the finish was dry before you applied the epoxy top coat, what finish?
We used a filler to eliminate the gaps and cracks.

Can someone please give me the link to the completion of this video? This guy is awesome! And we are doing exactly the same thing!
just use the search tool for basement. it is in the reality renovision episode.

Local mills and the odd boutique wood shop. Just do a google search for live edge and you will find one.
cheers for the super prompt response mate! will do
Any luck finding your wood yet?

Call an engineer for structural questions. They are not that expensive. And you have someone to blame if things go wrong.
What kind of supplier would have wood like that?
usually a mill or custom wood working supplier!
1/2 of 1-1/4" =5/8....not 3/4"
If I close my eyes it’s almost like Jeff Ross is teaching me these things 😂
Love the Jeff Ross reference. Cheers!
ALWAYS dry fit before gluing
Very nice
Great video.
Thanks larry , glad you liked it.
I'm thinking of doing this as a countertop on a bathroom vanity. Could I just use a biscuit jointer instead of the dowls?
or gravity and same l brackets from underneath. Cheers!
i've always had a bad experience doing drilling with an impact driver...bits shearing off
must be the bits!
Very nice 👍 now I want one haha
They make a kick ass vanity too!
Good video, but I must ask: why drill a spade bit with an impact driver? Seems like a waste of effort and energy.
Where the hell is the link for the completion of this counter top ???
It cam out the following day.
I can’t find it
th-cam.com/video/kV-AuIordc4/w-d-xo.html
I see the plugged holes..... Just how cranky where you when you realized that something had gone wrong and you had to redo the project? I know it's not fun having to re-shoot sequences!
shhhh.... you didn't see that
Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took Woodprix. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
5:10 half of 1 1/4 is of course 3/4?? Strange math
Without supports that top would snap right off. And where is the completion link ????
Do you see the metal rods in the picture?
Sorry, think I had a few beers to many and should pay attention better !! Very nice by the way.
Me too. no worries.
Half of 1¼" is ⅝" not ¾"
Thank god thought I was the only one
Was disappointed when I saw the metal plates I thought it was one piece? and the filler in the back meant mistakes were made then no finished pictures, not good
Half of 1 1/4” is 5/8” not 3/4”
Oops did i make a stumble with my words.
Lucas Commerford troll
you are assuming the er, um, ah...... "IKEA rail system" you're using as a straight edge is in fact - STRAIGHT?
“wooden’t” I see what you did there
How is this $500? That slab of wood will probably be worth more than my wife.
I have absolutely no idea what you did
Half of an inch and a quarter is not three-quarters of an inch. It's .625 or 5/8". But who's counting, right? ;-)
Wrong. Half of an inch plus 1/8" is 5/8"
.5=.25+25= 2/4
.25= 1/4
Total= 3/4
But whos counting right?

Ryan I can't believe anyone would prefer a laminate counter to a beautiful piece of Ash. That's odd to me.
It’s from the Mother Earth and recycled. Well done!🌎👍🏻
