I’m a contractor with 30 years under my belt doing some very nice custom homes. But I have never done a butcher block countertop and I found this very helpful good job
do u think its ok for rentals? durable i mean or will get scratched
@@tednguyen7258 not sure but I think entirely up to what kind of tenant it is... I could see it getting ruined because someone uses it as a cutting board... Don't think the sealant prevents cuts
I love the look of white cabinets, white farm sink and beautiful butcher blocks. This looks lovely!
I installed some butcher block with my granite counters; hard rock maple. I sanded with 50 grit just one pass, then tack clothed; then one pass of 120 grit, then tack clothed, then applied a wood conditioner. Then sanded with 220 and tack clothed. Then stained the wood. Then applied 3 coats of tung oil. The counters have been water and stain resistant. I waited a day between the wood conditioner and the stain and another day between stain and first coat of tung oil and then a day between each extra coat of tung oil. You MUST stay clear of the counters in between. The counters are smooth as silk and beautiful. I absolutely love them.
Thanks for those tips!
How long have they been holding up since you did this?
Sounds like you took the right approach. I just wonder how long the sealers hold up over time. I’m considering epoxy
@@anthonycaggiano8211 they’ve held up great- the tung oil hardens the wood - I have used my counters “as usual” - no specific precautions and after three years and no further treatment- they are great - no issues. I will add another coat of tung oil this year - I am overdue. I got the system I used to prep my wood counters from an old timer that has waaay more knowledge about wood working than I do!
@@RB-je2ri I’m sure they hold up decent just wish you didn’t have to maintain it as much. What did you use near the sink area and dishwasher?
Thank you for this!!!! I wish I could post a pic of mine. I just finished cutting my sinkhole. I was so afraid of doing the corners until I saw this video. This made it sooooooooo easy.
I bet it looks great!
This is a great video. Used it to install our butcher block. Love it.
I am 5 yrs beyond being "over" Farmhouse style, but, butcher block enhances other styles, as well. Thx, good tutorial.
Well I hate tile countertops due to grout maintenance, and stone is feeling boring. Butcher block will always represent a good portion of the market. I am a licensed contractor and specialize in residential remodeling.
This is the first DIY tutorial that I did not see a mistake or show the wrong way to do it. Good job!
Seeing that saw guide was helpful. I can just use a circular for cutting jobs.
AWESOMEEEE.. Thank you for this very informative video.. We are putting in a farmhouse sink and I just googled installation and found your channel.. Cheers.
Beautiful. Way more than I'm capable of handling but I sure admire your work.
Shocking on how awesome this is...⚖️
3:45, It's best to cut from the bottom side to achieve the best cut for the visible surface. That is with a circular saw, with a table saw it's good side up.
Excellent job, Tony! Cheers
0:26, “Installing a butcher block countertop can be a more advanced project than you think.”
Aight, imma head out.
King Kwon Sponge Bob pop in my head right away 😂😂🤣🤣
I will save money have some pros doing that shit.
How u make out on that 50 cal. What's the target rage there?
Joe Onyesoh Weapon not properly pmcs’d. Misfire, jammed. 35 minute hold on the lane. ;)
😂🤣
I just cut a whole for the sink and put them on, add some silicone caulking around where the sink is and its done. These dudes make things overcomplicated
Very helpful. Thanks. Heading to Lowe’s.
First time I’ve heard of “miter bolts”
Pretty cool! 👍
They're a bad idea for a high moisture environment. Even with a properly sealed countertop, after years it'll stress and may crack the wood. I'd join them with a dato and glue.
Make sure your drain wasn’t reverse graded like that drain was. Always make sure there is a 1/4 inch grade toward the drain.
Thanks for the inspiration. Great video!
SHE CAME OUT DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!!
Very well done. Love the helpful graphics
Great video, thanks for sharing. What type of woods can be used when making butcher block tops.?
What a great video. I would love to have something like this done to my kitchen.
Two serious errors: Never overhang the counter over the sink as it’s almost impossible to clean underneath the edge which allows bacteria to grow. Also, that tape will not stop the hot, damp air present when you open the dishwasher from flowing back under the countertop, potentially allowing warpage or bacterial activity. Better to use an insulating blanket that covers all of the top of the dishwasher. I believe IKEA sells them cheaply.
Nice comment that's exactly what I thought
That's what I thought! I don't know much about countertops, but I know cleaning. I can actually tell you the texture and blackness of the crap you'll have to scrape out of there later.
It looks better over, tho. You can seal it up, no problem.
What about that pink waterproof membrane paint?
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 it's not about sealing, organic matter and bacteria will build up underneath
Looks awesome! Glad to see some decent tutorials.
Omg! I fell in love with butcher block countertops 😍😍😍
Just did this in our house. This video helped immensely!
You do a miter joint ?
@@gemthomas no miters and used pocket holes instead. Had to use a couple shims but other then that it turned out great.
What size screws did you use ??
5:20 When finishing with the jigsaw, be sure to err towards the INSIDE. You can sand down the eccess, but but if you cut too wide you can't put the wood back.
10:58 The only thing that I could think about for the rest of the video...
I just found out that a speed square isn't called a "triangle thingy", one day I'll try this, thanks Lowes.
Watching a video like this ..... makes me go " omg, I will need to hire someone" - this is not at all a DIY. I like this video, it is inspiring ideas for me - butI would not be able to just do this.
It is not that hard to install kitchen cabinets. Take those old cabinets out and install new ones in.
@@HsingSun but this video is about installing kitchen counters.
@@dadsmight It's not that hard to paint a bathroom, just mask the area and paint
Oooh, I think I understand now, it's not that hard to install a new 120v outlet.
In all seriousness, there's a lot of unnecessary steps here. Miter bolts, blah blah blah, no thank you.
How would you do a join half way along the sink space? Presumably this is only with the undermount sink?
That’s my kitchen right there!
Good job sir
Thanks for this video 🙏
Watching from Indonesia
Hi, you don't need to use silicon or some kind of glue in between the joints?. Thanks
This was phenomenal! Great job
Informative video. Question: do you seal between the joints. to stop water or any other fluid from going in there. I did not see that being addressed. thank you
Where’s the clip where u said there two types of cuts u showed one where’s the other one or is it in another video...
Thank you for a few tips
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! A TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO AND BUTCHER BLOCK CONTER TOP INSTALL!!!!
This is what I want in my home!
When I remodeled my kitchen floor and cabinets and I did not have to do any templates because the floor is a perfect level.
Great technique
Looks nice thanks for the vid
Dis you buy the island board and cut it to size to also make the back splash. I ask this because there Only two different sizes. 25” deep and 32” deep. Most cabinet are 24” deep leaving 1” over hang. I can see you buying the 32” deep island and cut to size (25” for counter top and 7” of extra for what ever back slash height is desired. I am correct or did you buy a 2x4 birch wood and used that.
If one intends to actually cut food on the butcher block, what finish can be used?
One big change I would suggest is to avoid silicone sealant as it has little to no adhesive quality and will discolor over time. Using acrylic based sealant/caulking is a better option.
such a pro build I was shocked to see the silicone. Also how did the drain vent? Nice job though
I agree don’t use silicone on this job, but because you won’t be able to properly paint the wall over the silicone. Use paintable caulk and then paint over it, now or later.
As far as not enough adhesive quality, we actually use silicone for adhesive to glue down counters, sinks, etc..
Great video but what brand of tung oil did you use?
Looks easy 👌 hard to do if u don't have that much tools.
Make them do the cutouts at the store.
Fascinating. This, to me, was akin to being assigned a book report written in Mandarin. I only wish my brain worked like this man’s. 🤣
Lol a year ago that was me and now I’m watching this video like... “easy”
The more you learn i guess😂😂
Can I use miter bolts to join live edge slabs together?
THANK YOU, LOWES!!!
Do you have a link for the attachment brackets at 8:43?
I thoughly enjoyed this
That is so beautiful.
Where is the Weekender! I need more!
where did you get the back piece for along the wall? I didnt get that with mine? Cant find one. :(
Beautiful, what kind of wood is that?
what was used for the backsplash ?
What's the moisture barrier tape?
Can you add link for moisture barrier tape please?
9:12 what is the material that they put at the end to the butcher block?
Good work!!!!!
I have a butcher block countertop and it requires a lot of maintenance. I will not install another. Its very difficult to keep looking clean especially as it ages. Yes you can refinish if you have the time and don't mind the mess.
Good to know. I was considering installing bucher block countertop
Wood isn't hard to refinish, tho. I find it fun working with tiny pieces in wood flooring in dollhouses, lol. Sometimes even literal specks of it. Maybe heavy varnish? Like marine varnish. But fewer coats. So, not real thick like a bar or Tabletop.
Honestly, expoxy is probably the only way to seal it with not AS much maintenance. But then you’ll loose the butcher block purpose of being able to cut on the counter
Hello ! Which circular saw blade did you use ?
Thanks for everything I've learned in these 11:42 seconds. I'll be on my way to Home Depot to buy everything I need now.
😂😂😂
Will silicone stick to the oiled butter block?
I learned a lot today. Who else is buying a home watching these videos lol
Sonho de consumo top
10:44, if yo are gluing do not use purple primer. get some clear primer. Primer is easily dripped or splashed and it rapidly stains things. Clear glue also.
An I add that water sealant over my stain?
Do you not glue the mitered edge?
The tape above the dishwasher seems like a good idea.
beautiful
Bravo
Excellent video!
Great informative video. Thank you
Hi. Must we also apply sealant (2x) if we use Epoxy Resin on top of our wood countertop? Thank you. 😁
no, epoxy is the sealant in your case.
Would this video on Butcher Block countertops be similar to making a L shape Desk onto 2 2 drawer file cabinets? If so what could I use for the LEG in the outside corner where it corners to the corner of the walls meet? I plan on an 8 feet by 4 feet L shape desk x 24" front to back with 2 ft. of the 8 ft. length top be made up with the 4 ft. Length top.
I have 2 old HON 2 drawer file cabinets to rest the butcher block tops. The butcher block is 1 3/4" thick and the current desk's desktop us 1 1/8" thick wich is a little bit higher than I want it to be more comfortable height for me. Will it be better to use countertop instead? Advice please.
Wouldn't we always alternate our boards to create an even pattern? Why are you sawing straight lines?
Any sealant needed at the butt joints?
What type of sealant was used
Do I need to reapply the sealant year by year?
awesome....
Go easy cutting with the whole saw...mine chipped out the bottom pretty good..wich didn't matter I have top mount sink but if it was farm house style It would have been all bad...
Does butcher block stain easily?
What type of butcher block is this? Or can i seal any of them?
So you don't seal the back of the wood just the top?
please add the sealant you used to the more section, sounded like water proof tonuge sealant?
Jeffrey Walker Tung Oil Sealant.
which tung oil you used.
Exposed wood endgrain hanging over a kitchen sink. What could go wrong?
amazing
What sealant did they use to water proof the butcher block? Its not listed in the video description.
He mentioned Tung oil, but there are others that are better for food prep areas. I think Watco makes a food grade finish. Polyurethane and epoxy look good but don't hold up well in this situation.
How much does butcher block cost?
why is my sink big they are standard size seem s and bigger counter looks
3:46, never just tighten the guide from one end. You can see how much his guide moves as he clamps it down. Likely had at least a 2 to 3 mm error on his "straight" cut because of this.
That clamp has one lever but clamps both sides. It's designed that way. You can purchase them at Rockler Woodworking stores. It works great, no movement. I've been using them for years with zero issues. Although, I am about to trade in that technique for a track saw system.
I feel like I could do this. Especially with the saw guide.
Two inch radius or two inch diameter ?
Sure would be nice if Lowe’s sold food grade, waterproof, tung oil and the wide vapor barrier tape.
Also think that if you’re getting into this project you wouldn’t get wood from them, you’d go to a custom milling plant
Thank you for the video. At 8:25 for caulking the sink to the butcher block, did the bottom of the block already have a layer of Tung oil applied? Will Caulk stick to the Tung oiled surface? Or was the caulk applied to bare butcher block?
silicone has little to no adhesive quality, it stains and mildews easily so is a poor choice. Acrylic caulk is ideal for this application, apply to raw wood before applying tongue oil or other finish.
Question. How long this would last? I believed they ate prone to termites. Can undermount sink hole can hold large amount of plates and water?
If you have termites your countertop is the least of the problems.
This is on.. hiring out ✌🏼
