@@binglebuildsit Awesome, thanks for the info. I am just starting to put a few wood working tools together and I am dreaming about future projects and wondering how much they will cost roughly. Any recommendation for bar clamps and pipe clamps? I have zero at this moment and need some for my first project.
I'm completely new to wood working and stumbled across your video. What were the two things you used for your finish? The stuff in the jug and that wax like substance. Sorry I'm a complete noob to this stuff but I'm interested in learning 😂
I noticed you jointed the edge grain, but not the face grain. Was there a reason for this? Were the boards already jointed on the face grain? I saw that you planed the glued sheet (~4:12), but that wouldn't take out any board twists, bows, cups, etc. Lastly, around (5:41) you run the end grain sheet through your planer. I always heard this is a no-no and it can really mess up your planer as well as your wood piece. How did you avoid these errors from happening? Thanks in advance.
Its not just a no-no its a never-do and the reason why is with a straight knife, lunchbox planer with no anti-kickback pawls the blades can suddenly grip onto the vertical grain and as the rollers are only rubber, it will shoot out one end. If the person is not smart they will be standing behind the planer and get a board to the stomach and probably die. If reasonably smart they will stand perpenicular to the blades and only get shrapnel of the knifes in their body and blind them for life possibly lacerating the femoral artery and bleeding to death in 20 seconds. Even if done succesfully it will most likely leave you with deep tearout in the product.
Running an end grain through a planer is a 50 50 thing. I've run end grain through planer only with 2 non end grain sacrificial boards at both ends. So if the planer were to catch on to something it would be the edge or face. Take light passes as well. If you try to take a whole lot off it will definitely fuck up your planer. Also just make a router surfacing jig they're easy to make
Hi, I am going to build a end grain 4x6 ft. island butcher block using maple and walnut. Any suggestions on lumber amount? I was thinking 10 of each 4x6.5 boards. I’m new at woodworking and have fallen in love with making cutting boards.
I know this comment was 2 years ago, but I'm trying to figure out the math for this. So let's break it down this way. 4ft wide = 48" at 1.75" per board need 28 pieces. 6ft long = 72" at 0.75" thick per board need 96. (Assumed thickness after milling a 1" thick board) So 28x96 = 2,688 pieces Then 6ft board = 72". 72/1.5"(thickness of each piece) = 48 pieces per 6 ft board. You can get ~3 1.75" boards from ripping a 6" wide board. So 48x3= 144 pieces per 6ft long 6" wide board. 2,688 pieces / 144 pieces per 6" wide board = 18.66 boards to make this. If you wanted 1" thickness it would be 12.4 boards.
Nice work! Planning out an island build here and stumbled across your video. I'm curious if you have any hindsight wisdom to share - any lessons learned/things you'd do differently after all said and done? Also curious of approx cost and/or how you figured amt of lumber purchased..
I would probably let the wood rest in my shop a couple weeks after the milling process. Then come back and glue it all together/mill boards that needed it. Had some issues with wood movement early on but got them worked out in the end. Probably wouldn't change much on the process other than that. In terms of cost, that will depend on your bdft cost of the lumber you use. I spent around $400 with rough cut 4/4 walnut. To get amount of lumber just determine the amount of board foot you need and then get an extra 15% more to stay safe. Hope this helps!
I went over to the customers house the other day and there was surprisingly no warping/cracking. I think there will always be a bit change to the wood with the seasons but nothing thus far
This is awesome! Thank you for showing all the steps you took to get to the end product.
Awesome build
Very nice. Good job
Wow great job. Thanks for sharing man, looks awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Bingle Builds How many BF is this top? Just trying to get an idea of how much something like this would cost to make
Dylan Miller this took a little over 40 bdft. Of course a few mishaps could of saved me a bit

@@Dylan_Miller I just have slowly picked up Bessy pipe clamps as I needed them. Got mine from home depot. I would probably go with the 3/4" size.

Mineral oil and beeswax!
Man I'd love to buy that entire board.
Very Nice! Great job!
Beautiful!
Good job brother

@@jamesdeclan7538 That's a little bit over the top don't you think?

If you have a helix head it's pretty much OK to do this nowadays, notice the sacrificial boards on both ends too, that's to prevent the tearout.
Would love to see the finished kitchen island!
Even easier than making it, we order USA custom made kitchen islands of Walnut / Maple @ chefdepot.net/butcherblock7.htm

@@binglebuildsit Thanks! Helpful
@@binglebuildsit that also helps me :)
Great video! What was the wax at the end?
Made it myself. Its a mixture of bees wax and mineral oil.
looks great! What paste did you use for finishing after the mineral oil?
I appreciate it! I made it myself but its a bees wax and mineral oil mixture
No matter how hard i try l always seem to have a few checks that need to be sealed.
I can't work with wood, I'm a metal guy. Obviously you're a wood guy. Thanks! Great vid. (sub)

Looks Great! I did a very similar project. How is yours holding up since you built it? Any cracks or warping?
I went over to the customers house the other day and there was surprisingly no warping/cracking. I think there will always be a bit change to the wood with the seasons but nothing thus far
@@binglebuildsit Thanks! I'm sure it will serve them well for a very long time.
How are you planning on attaching it to your base?
I left that up to the customer. Not sure what he ended up doing
Where'd you get the wood from?
BRAVOOOOOOOOOOO

All butcher blocks are made from Maple. Never from Walnut. Walnut is not hygienic.
Except for this one
