Life of Bliss I love your workbench/storage it’s awesomely built!
Thanks Brandon. That was one of the dust things I did once we moved here. Definitely need a solid place to work!
I love this. Great job
Metallic epoxy would have been great.
We actually did that for the bar area and it turned out great. We wanted the wood look for the fireplace though.
I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
I would never choose a dark stain, personally, but the effect you have achieved with that grain has made me think again. it looks fantastic.
Thanks man. It really made the grain pop. I always do test pieces before hand too so I don't ruin my while piece if I don't like it
I love dark stain on everything!
European?
I've seen dark stain on some of my friends counter tops. It looks really rich and nice.
I’m a dark stain converted to natural color 🤣
But dark stain does have it’s place for sure.
Nobody asked me, but over time, despite my efforts to the contrary, I've had a bunch of instances of planer snipe AFTER I cut the boards to length, so I started planing before cutting to length. Has worked better for me...
That's what I have read since doing this. Lesson learned!
They turned out beautifully!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Beauty through simplicity! Excellent work!!!
This is straight forward. Thanks for posting.
This video deserves more views. Thanks for posting. Awesome job.
Love the video.
I bought the timber, now I need need to save up for ten years to buy the 10grands worth of carpentry equipment. 😉
Wonder if you can rent a planer?🤔
Lol 10 grand? Wish I had half of that in woodworking tools 😉 skip the planner, use a circular saw and straight edge, and sand the top and you're good to go!
You do not need to buy woodworking tools new. I have a 13" Makita planer I traded on CL for a compound bow I paid $150.00 for. The guy used the planer for 1 job. I have a 10" contractor grade table saw that I bought on CL for $200.00, it needed some love but it is now like new and I only spent a few bucks on various parts. I have the same miter saw in this video that I got an estate sale for $250.00, it looked like it still had the original blade in it. There are deals out there so don't be discouraged and think you have to drop $$ on tools, just be patient and keep searching...
Craig Williams Exactly! Where there’s a will there’s a way.
FB marketplace always has good finds too.
This made me LOL!! So true!! I am in the process of getting the tools, myself. Got them all, but the planer and jointer. Those are coming soon! However, with the lumber prices being so high due to the 'Rona, you win by having bought the wood already!!! It's crazy how prices have doubled for lumber!
I’m currently doing this exact process for my fireplace mantle and some trim details. Also made a coffee table top a few months ago this way. It looks great and has held up awesome. Great work bud
Thanks Josh! Yea these tops have really held up well, even with tools and such being placed on them while still working down here. Still need to finish off the cabinet doors though...
The grain really shows up nicely! You have a great selection for tools to work at home-like a planer!!
I think you could get away with doing these tops without a planer. Just joint them first and belt sand.
Cool video. Just the right amount of narration vs demonstrating what to do.
Stunning finish !!..Excellent work.
Turned out great! I am gonna do this in our mobile home kitchen to save some money!
This turned out beautiful! I'm going to try this in my kitchen! We are planning a full kitchen remodel in the next few years so this would be a great temporary yet attractive solution to my ugly counters! Thanks for sharing!
Shelby Pels exactly! My counters are like yellow 80s laminate. Lol I want wooden countertops and this is fast enough to not take a week to get done.
I got 3 2x10s today to start a computer desk build soon. This looks really nice!
Thanks! Good luck on your build!
That’s a fantastic look on the tops. The grain is spectacular.
Looks FABulous. GREAT JOB
Nice job. Did a little kitchen remodel for a buddy that was low on funds and did his counters the same way. But yours was much cleaner looking.
Beautiful!!! Since these do not get the kind of use as a kitchen counter does, I love the idea of not filling in the knots. Great stain, too!
Thank you 😃
Great job! I need to do this build for base cabinets, but also for the kitchen / bathroom sinks. Just remember where the screws are when using the Jig Saw!
Great job flyboy! Love the look.
I was surprised that they came out so well, was worried using the same stain color as the cabinets and would be to much dark and nothing to offset the dark color. Great job. I did a yellow southern pine, with a mesquite strip in the center and left it all natural color.
They look beautiful! Very nice!
WOW using pocket holes is SOOOO much easier than try to use wood bisquet. Ty
Great way to save money. Thanks for the DIY.
These really do look great!
Looks awesome! 👍🏼
Those are beautiful! I’ll be doing this for my kitchen countertops
Perfect video! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
Those tops are awesome! Love the color
Beautiful!! stunning finish!
Looks great, I love it! I'm going to remodel the laundry room and I am thinking to have the countertop (over the washer and dryer) made like this I have some beautiful solid wood in the garage left from old kitchen cabinets ( had long shelves inside).I just need to find someone to make it for me.
Very nicely done... looks great. Thanks for sharing!
That was awesome! Im going to use this method to make my coffee table.
Thanks! This would be a great look for a coffee table, good luck with it!
How'd it go?
Looks beautiful! I like the workbench. I need something like that,....not too wide for the garage but perfect to keep everything organized.
That's the first thing I did when we moved here. Love having a nice sturdy worktop!
These turned out great, thank you!
Dude, I'm enjoying your builds and your "delivery".
Glad to see you picking up success in subscribers, I hope you will hit one million in no time!
Cheers mate!
Thanks Mark! I hope I do too, but still very thankful for support I've been able to get so far! Glad you like the content man!
Woooooowww that looks amazing it looks great !!!!
Thanks for the video. I keep coming back to it for reference. Very helpful!
Great work. They look beautiful!
Man, seriously thanks for this. This was the inspiration I needed. I've been thinking for a week about how to add storage to my living room.
Glad I could help Marcel ☺
Did a great job on those they look fantastic. I'm tempted to do that for my kitchen counter to save some bucks.
Looks great!!! Nice work man, they look solid!
Wish i had the tools to be able to do something like this 👍🏼
Beautiful!!!! Great job!
They look great!
Love it. It's beautiful!
That came out great!!
Beautifully done 👍
They look great! Can't beat $50!
Cool idea. I’ll have to try it sometime.
Love the color!
Looks good! Lightning in the room is excellent as well. 🇺🇸
🤘🏼🇺🇸
Truly beautiful work!
Thank you sir, appreciate it
Looks great!
Definitely like the look and how you kept the edging a darker stain look. Looks great
The stain adds character to it. Looks really great.
Omg this is so pretty!
Excellent job
Looks absolutely sick, man! 👍
Fantastic job, love it! Love that Victory sign in the background as well!
Thanks! Til the wheels fall off... love my Vic!
Looks amazing thanks for sharing
the gel stain worked out well. when dealing with building lumber, wood conditioner helps with stain blotching but the gel looks good. great job. also its very nice to work outside. my shop is in the basement.
Thanks man. I try to work outside as much as I can. So much dang dust to clean if you don't.
@@LifeofBliss welcome to my world. thank god for dust collection system.
Thanks for the help! Mine came out great!
Glad it helped Joe!
That turned out really good! With lumber prices today, it would cost probably double that but still a better way to go than buying some junk off the shelf.
simply love it !
Great job. Looks nice!
Gorgeous countertops!
thank Kevin!
Good upload mate ....v informative....keep em comin'.
Phenomenal job!
Great idea 👍👍👍
That looks awesome
Great job
excellent work!
*Great job I wish I had all these tools right now so I could do this*
Looks awesome. Couple little things too note (suggestions). A jointer would be a great investment. It actually is what makes a board flat and gives you those really nice 90 angles in the milling process. A Planer squeezes the board and really does not flatten it. It is used to make the board parallel to your jointed flat surface. 2X material has higher than normal water content and should be allowed to dry to a lower concentration. Higher water concentration can lead to warping as time passes. Putting poly on all sides also can help by trapping in the water and allowing it to dry equally. With all your fastening that should not be a issue though. Over all it does look awesome. I may revisit the idea of 2X for the cabin.
Thanks great. Yea a joiner would be a great tool to get in the future. It's definitely in the list.
Was thinking of making a new PC desk using 2x10 boards for the top. Was worried about how it would look with the knots but with the dark stain they basically disappear, wow.
Looks good!
Amazing job.
Great video!!
looks really nice
Looks great.
Very nice work Brother 🏆
Okay now! Im about to do this
Nice. Just something that may be helpful if you do something similar. Best to use planer first to get a flat surface if you're going to use your tablesaw to square the edge. If Most of the 2x I find aren't exactly "flat" so squaring them on the saw doesn't give a very good right angle.
Looks nice.
I've learned a few good tips from people commenting. This is another. Appreciate it! Woodworking is a constant learning process...
Nice work
tip for you next time put the rings the opposite way to each other when your making a work surface as when they shrink they will bend with the rings (end grain)
Nice job
Nice work. Good looking countertops.
I like how the dog was chilling in the sofa in the back.
"Let the humans work, im chilling".
Thank you for a very good video.
Thanks man. That dog is such a spoiled brat 😂 she will literally lay her head on pillows cause that's obviously what you do! Lol
@@LifeofBliss i wish i was a dog, but in the end i couldn't build things.
Love doing diy's.
Well done
They look beautiful. Nice job. Doing something similar for a desktop. Thanks.
New subscriber! Can't wait to see more videos
Nice job.
Beautiful
those are absolutely beautiful and you did an awesome job!!! thank you so much for making this video!!
Thanks for making this video. I can make that.
It must be great to have access to 2 x 12 lumber. Nice work.
Thank you Percy
👍👍👍👍👍. Great job
Awesome!
They turned out great been looking to make a top for my basement bar.. wish you could build me one!😁
That'd take all the fun out of it for you 😉
Its a great idea, i would've use hard maple. That way its a dual purpose countertop.
