Think of the time and material that goes into building an inch and a half thick Hard Maple butcher block countertop. In this episode of Today’s Craftsmen, Jeff and Rob discuss the option of buying versus building a Butcher Block Counter. Starting with a track saw and then and then a panel saw Jeff and Rob will demonstrate how to cut the countertop to size and finish a manufactured butcher block countertop. There’s a lot of great tips in this one and we hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for watching!

At least cherry smells nice when it burns! 😜

That Striebig is so impressive. I don't have suggestions for new content, because you guys are so out of my league I don't know what I don't know. I love all of your content, and you guys have great personalities, I enjoy watching you work together.

I’m sure I speak for many of us that don’t production build but are fascinated by the process and mindset. For the amount of time you guys take to produce these, I truly hope it pays off in social content land.

I knew buying butcher block was the cheaper way to go but I was actually curious to see how you would have gone about fabricating one in-house… maybe in some future video…. Love the channel!

My local lumber supplier does glueups and wide belt sanding of wide boards and butcher block tops. It is so worth asking them to make it from whatever species and then I do final cuts/finishing.

Sweet!

@larryk6330 4 месяца назад

I'm going to be installing a smaller version of your butcher block but I still need to rip it and cut to length with a track. Be nice to have your panel saw for for a job like that.

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

A fellow commenter suggested making the cuts in 2 or 3 passes! Good luck!

@eatdrinkwineguy 4 месяца назад

Like butter!do the red marks have a hard stop or locking stop or are you just lining it up?

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

Yes! The saw will ONLY lock down in those spots

@kitsuiam852 4 месяца назад

Jus do it into two passes next time leave about 1\8fotr the next cut to clean the burn edge.....better than sanding I guess!!!!!

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

Good tip! Can cut it 1/16” heavy and clean up with a router too!

@rootriverwoodworks5883 2 месяца назад

Buy or build depends on your wants and needs. If you wants a nice #1 white maple, you probably wont find it on a big box shelf.

@TodaysCraftsmen 2 месяца назад

Yes, exactly! And budget dictates most.

@buttjoints 4 месяца назад

did the footprint on the cardboard come with the block or did it cost extra?

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

I think they build it into the hidden surcharge

@YourFavouriteComment 4 месяца назад

Wait so the stop has a micro adjustment dial but then the actual saw position gets locked just by eyeballing that red marker? Or is it a hard factory stop you cant miss?

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

The saw head will ONLY lock into those positions!

@YourFavouriteComment 4 месяца назад

@@TodaysCraftsmen ah okay that makes more sense, thanks !

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

Anytime! So there’s 5 vertical cutting positions each exactly 40” apart. Horizontal cuts can happen anywhere.

@jamesruemenapp2495 4 месяца назад

Could you have ordered it to the correct size?

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

Down to the exact size? No. They do sell different sizes. A 30x120 would’ve been the closest but they didn’t have a 30 in stock!

@chrisgardner3606 4 месяца назад

Gotta ask, did you use your worse blade for dramatic effect? I don't own a track saw but I gotta think a new or slightly used blade would have been fine. Your trying to get Striebige as a sponsor aren't ya.😮

@TodaysCraftsmen 4 месяца назад

The blade wasn’t new but definitely still has a lot of life. Maybe a different tracksaw would have more power.

@TimeToBuild2024 4 месяца назад

So why is Jeff always wearing a sweatshirt and Rod only wears T shirts? Looks like one is tougher than the other, or maybe one is smarter than the other. Enjoy the videos and insights.
