- In this weeks video I made wooden Countertops. This project was something my wife and I wanted to do for a long time. It took a lot of planing and took about 2 weeks to fully complete. The video is about the countertops but not a video on my kitchen remodel. Sit back and enjoy the video.

FYI: We did a similar installation in our kitchen TWICE. The first time we did not seal the under portion of the countertop. This was evident quickly with just a few uses of the dishwasher. The countertop started to bow drastically. I remade the second countertop but I did epoxy the entire thing to seal it up on all sides so no warping.
what caused it to bow? Will this guy's benchtop will likely to face the same issue?
@@cubitme moisture/heat from the dishwasher?
Thanks for the helpful advice! I would have never considered the issue with moister from the dishwasher. So, thanks!
@@cubitme all the steam that comes out of a dishwasher
What silicone glue do you use to glue on the counter tops besides screwing them underneath??
love the idea, like how they turned out but not crazy about using pine. Won't be very durable.
We did our bathroom countertop in pine wood and several coats of polyurethane. It's been about 5 months and so far so good. It has held up beautifully. Your entire kitchen looks great!
That’s great to know! Thank you!
Got a video on it? Would love to see it.
@@weekendhomeprojects no, we actually watched another video on here and did what they did. I'll go look at the name of it and tell ya.....
@@weekendhomeprojects it's called Bathroom Remodel under $500.... Hanging with the Hugh's
Well built and beautiful.. Cute kids God bless. Finally someone who doesn't have a 100K garage with tools in it amping for a more cinematic performance than actually building something. Great job. Count me as a new subscriber
Great job on the worktop, by the way traditional Butchers Blocks are made with short lengths of hardwood with the end grain facing upwards but never the less great job.
Yup, I miss quoted what I was making.
I like the gel stain too. But I wish would wear a dust mask and respirator respectively. I want you healthy to enjoy your hard work. Thx for sharing.
Your kitchen is a place of beauty!
This turned out beautiful! Now to buy all of the equipment
Ah, the all-important step of letting your wife do her thing. Wise man 👍
Milwaukee tools are the best. I've been using them professionally for years. I still use my very first Milwaukee impact which is like 25 years old.
That looks Awesome now that it’s a month later how is the top holding up to knife cuts knicks and everyday use Great job gave me some great ideas thanks
After using it I can say that it’s holding up well unless your 6yr old scrapes it like mine did😔 But thankfully we were able to fix it easily.
B&O Craftsman No small children here just the wife and I thank you for the video and your time God Bless you and your family
that's what cutting boards are for. you shouldn't be cutting directly on your countertop.
Very pretty
Some tips on ways to improve this for anyone who might read : 1) edge joint each board with a "spring joint" - google it for explanation, it ensures the ends don't separate and stay tight, which is a common problem with multi-board tops as the ends dry out faster (shrink) than the middle, a "spring joint" stops this. 2) the cupping he mentions was because he only "clamped" the boards on one side, this meant the side with the clamps was in compression more than the other - to keep it flat you need alternating clamps on BOTH SIDES, with equal pressure applied. 3) I would personally have added splines in between the board joints, this increases the surface area for glue, and keeps the faces aligned with each other while clamping (and allows other forms of clamping like using rope and a stick to wind it tight if you don't have wide clamps) - you can add other forms of alignment helpers using biscuits or dominoes, but they require more tools, whereas a spline is simply a slot cut in the edge of the two glue faces (to create a channel) and can be done on each board using a tablesaw - the spline is best made from thin sheet ply .
Those techniques will give a novice a better chance at a good result without having to resort to remedial work like planing down the entire top.
Important info! Thank you!
I did a similar counter top and it looked great, but I found that the polyurethane coating I used got water spots real easily, especially if the liquid was hot, like it might be in the kitchen. Maybe if I'd put more coats on it. I also had to do a lot of planing and sanding to get it nice and flat and smooth, so your tips for that will help when I do it again pretty soon. I was thinking of using an epoxy coating because of that water spot problem.
Those are some great points that I’m going to use when I do mine this week. Thank you!
Also, the epoxy touch-up should go before the poly, and since it's gonna be wet most of the time, and oil-based poly is a much better choice of finish
Thank you for the video I just made 3 sections. Thanks to your video
Man this is genius thank you for doing this video
Looks awesome.
That is Beautiful!! Kudos to you and your skills Brother.
Nice and simple.
Very detailed video...thank you and awesome job
Awesome final product!!
Thank you for sharing your kitchen looks amazing I think I might borrow a few ideas here
Love the countertops great job
Beautiful
Looks really good, especially with the tin.
Suggestion: Dowel or disc the plank edges together.
That would help with alignment for sure
Way more pleasing over the long haul as opposed to fake looking formica!! Nice
Outstanding video.
Beautiful, I need to do it. Ty.
Looks super good
Love your video, explanation of the process and ability. 👍
that planer is so cute
Great kitchen
Thank you 😊
Absolutely Lovely Work Sir.
It looks really good.
thx for the inspiration here, im really looking to do something similar looking at that, great result.
Is there any reason you didnt go with 45degree on the counter in the corner? I do not like very much the 90degree hit + a glued piece counter grain there... its my critic towards the aesthetic there, but there was probably a reason that i dont know why its been assembled this way.
The finition on your counter is spectacular. I really need to get some more experience on that before to tackle a big project like this.
Since my stove was there it hid the connection point mostly. I was going to do a 90 but once I noticed the stove was going to hide most of it, I decided against it.
That is an amazing job I love it and thank you for teaching us
Great job God bless you
love this
Happy wife happy life!
Woow, very impressive looks and kudos to you Sir!!!! Thanks for sharing this, I've shared this to my husband
Man. Dude your good nice work
Very good job
Thank you
Looks beautiful! Thank you
Cool, I love what you done
Nicely done.
Good work
Doing this now with 3/4” plywood and 3/4” 6, 7, and 8” planks. Facing it with trim to get the butcher block effect
Awesome job!
wow. nice.
Very nice
Gorgeous. I'm envious. No way I can do anything like that!
@Nobodyimportant agreed
Man, I’ve had construction timber move more then I thought possible. Did a coffee table with breadboard ends and it shrunk a good 3/8th smaller then the ends and two splits in the middle a 1/4” each. Even had two metal flat bar pieces screwed into every board on the bottom. Only piece of furniture I have had to replace or fix.
Wow! Crazy .
B&O Craftsman Hope it stays together for ya!
Bravo ! Amazing ! 👍
Very Nice, Sir
Well done!
I would have done some bowtie joints between the boards for both sturdiness and looks.
Nice.
Great job. 👍
Loooks fantastic i like it better than marble myself
That was fantastic. Looked great.
Beautiful!
Wow you did a spectacular job!! It looks amazing 👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful!
Very good job! Love it!
looks really good, I think I would have epoxy'd the entire thing oh and the painters tape to keep from splintering on the cut 👍never seen that b4, nice to know
I agree . One thing I may have done different but, the poly is still holding up well. I’ll be making an update video soon
My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen, and I showed him your video and said “this is what I want my kitchen to look like!!!” I loved you video, and how well you explained everything!!!
Just wondering where did you get the cabinet door handles from?
Thank you so much. The handles came from Hobby Lobby
Nice!
Good job!
Looks great brother, amazing job
Thank you
That's real nice!! Great job
Very nice work. Thank you for a great tutorial.
In UK we call them Belfast sinks.
Nice job!
Turned out nice. I did this a few years ago, but I don’t think it is really a butcher block countertop since you used the face grain and just glued the boards together edge wise. When I think of butcher block countertops, I think of edge grain or end grain boards. Maybe I’m just being picky here.
I’d just call it a wooden countertop.
Awesome! Looks great-thanks for sharing the process.
非常喜歡！
Muy bueno
Round overs on 2 by material is not to stop chipping it’s to help slow fire should a fire start in your home.
thank you!
Very nice 👍
thank you for this video! so helpful! do you have an update as to how the poly held up in a kitchen? thank you!
Holding up well. I made a update video as well
Love it!!!
Looks gorgeous, great job!
What did you do around the sink? Did you run a bead of sealer? How do you prevent water running down the edges of the sink and under. They will swell and cause problems not to mention the gunk that will collect in the crack around the sink and countertop.
I used epoxy resin around the sink to stop water and clear silicone between the sink and the countertop
Could you do an update on the countertop please? I love it and want to copy!
It’s the top pinned comment :)
Wow, I finally found a video where I don't need a $2000 table saw, $2000 planner, $800 worth or clamps. Well done.
Yay. I know... my table saw was 200, planer was a 50 bucks from a yard sale and my clamps are from harbor freight! Thank you .
Great video -- thanks for the effort. I'm wondering how the pine has held up over the last four months. Would love to hear from you on that.
This is outstanding.. Definitely following you.. Please keep it up!
I love the backsplash. Do you mind sharing what it is?
I bought it from Lowe’s and Home Depot
New subscriber! Really enjoyed this video!
You did a beautiful job on that counter top. I love the way it turned out. Thanks for sharing.
hellothis counter top finaly look awesome.
The wood is a pine and can is not to soft for this project?
Guauuuuuuuuuuu, I love it. Clap clap clap
This looks AMAZING, ur work is awesome. I have a question though..and first let me preface this by saying I am not a professional, I know ZERO about wood. I do know that I LOVE to cook and would die to have a counter like what you have created. My question is..with the staining products used. Would it be safe to work with food?
You need to use a cutting board. Unfortunately , the counter isn’t hard enough for knife cuts.
Are you making a video on the backsplash? Love that look! And love the countertops, too!
I was going to include that in the video but decided against it since it wasn’t the primary focus on the video.
@@BOCraftsman Makes total sense -- are you doing it as a different video at all?
I have wanted something like this for years in my kitchen. I worry about water when I'm doing the dishes, though. Will it be water resistant?
Just make sure you do epoxy where the water will be. Like I did In my video around the sink
Wao that looks great! Can you share about how much that ended up costing? Thanks
Stunning did you ever have any warping
Very little
B&O Craftsman ok thank u
Have you had any issues over time with the glue joints failing due to the wood expansion and contraction?
No not yet. I’m giving it more time and then I’ll do an update video on it
Pocket screws underneath? Just a thought.
It’s not a butcher block if you can’t use it to cut on, which is the purpose of a butcher block. You just made a wood counter top and it’s probably gonna warp(if it hasn’t already) because 1. You didn’t acclimate the wood to its environment, 2. You didn’t seal the other side of the wood.
I wish I could do this.
