How to build a butcher block table out of 2x4 

Don't be down on your casters, bro. That's a great table that will likely last you for the rest of your life. Being able to move it and clean the debris out from under the edges of the wood will add years of life to the lower parts and save you a ton of trouble later. I say kudos to you for getting out there and doing it with just your skills and minimal tools.

Pro tip: when you're struggling with the glue drying on you rather than using your hands and pouring it over, try a cheap paint tray and small paint roller ✌

Man thank you for making this, it was hard to start a project like this without seeing what to do without all of these expensive tools

As soon as I saw you start to build the legs out of 2×4 and 2×2 I knew that table was going to be HEAVY lol. No matter though. That thing is going to last for decades sheerly due to how solid its construction is. Props, man

When you clipped over to the table at a new angle @9:35 I was SHOOK at how good the table looked after planing.

Casters look just fine. Adds some extra character to a really nice table. Plus it makes it super easy to move! Great video

Great job. Build things that fulfill their purpose, learn from others who have more experience (usually meaning they’ve made a lot of mistakes), and don’t worry about the rest. Darlington, South Carolina

The casters are genius. This table is awesome, thanks for sharing!

For someone like me who is just getting started building things, this is so helpful to list your full process and materials! Thank you so much!

Absolutely fantastic. 👍🏻 love that the whole family worked together. 😊 The casters we’re a brilliant idea. 🤔👍🏻

I’m doing this technique kinda for my reloading bench. I need to get a plainer for sure. And I must add you did a wonderful job on that table/work bench

absolutely love this! very professional and like an earlier commenter said. You will have it for the rest of your life and its something to show off and be proud of! amazing!

Great job on the table! I love the look. I might try this for a counter top and stagger the boards for a different look!

Love the sawdust tip! And I really love the table base.

Great Job! I don't think the casters take anything away from the looks and adds so much functionality.

Outstanding! That’s a beautiful piece! Thanks a million for the video.

Looks very nice !! I like the finishing touch of how it looks !! 😊

I built a monster table using all 4x4 for the base and 2x12 for the top. Your video has given me an idea on how to move the table. You could make a sleeve that has the casters on it. That way you lift each side and slip the sleeves under it. It’s extra stuff to keep around but it doesn’t mess with the aesthetic of the table.

Very cool table! I might give something like this a try for the patio.

Looks beautiful and very functional. Thank you for sharing

Excellent video. Thank you very much. I like your easy design and assembly without a lot of fancy tools that you may never use again.

Thank you for sharing! This turned out to look fantastic!

really lovely table and the way you showed everything very inspiring thanks for sharing

Your simple easy to follow instructions were great! I'm making it myself too!!! Thx

Beautifully done table and well-presented video! Thank you for sharing your process. As a thought on your casters, it looks like you could attach them on the interior sides of the legs to make them less visible if you wanted to. Brilliant work, regardless!

Great job! Love seeing family projects. Don’t be surprised if you see one of those tables on our patio!

Beautiful job love the casters makes moving so nice

Great project it came out amazing! Good info in the description too. Keep making videos!

Great job bro. Love how the shellac brought out the beauty of the wood.

You did a great job made it look not to bad where others could have confidence . thankful

Nice patio, good idea to have it double as a workbench

Love it! Say what you will about pine, fir, spruce or other soft wood. They age well and then, any dings and scratches that are depressing on almost any other woods only adds character to them. What I like to do instead of hiding screws is to remove them one by one once the glue is set, drill a larger hole and glue in a dowel of contrasting colour. It looks very much on purpose and has never failed me thus far. Also : connecting the sander to a vacuum will it speeds up the sanding by a lot.

Great Job..awesome idea with the casters!

I'm a DIY myself. You did a fantastic job friend!

Hello sir, as they say, woodworkers or builders are their worst critics. I think the movability of the table well outweighs the look of the casters and was a good decision. Nice table.

Fabulous job. You did a GREAT job

Great table and the casters are genius.

Great work! Love the amber color!

That is a WORK OF ART.... BEAUTIFUL

You have a Dewalt table saw. You got my subscription already. Oh great yard. It's all about the yard.

You did well with the planing. I always seem to plane lines into things I try it with.

Great table. Awesome job.👍

Great job brother! I love the design.

Great job, paint your casters to blend in with the timber. Maybe even put them on the inside, it will be harder to operate them but you won’t see them as easily.cheers Wiz

Beautiful work!

Looks great. Really appreciate the video. I have a 4x8 steel work bench that is a bear to move...thanks for the idea of the castors. I like the height of my table now, and these will keep the height the same. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Nice job, thanks for posting!

That’s a great looking laminated table top!

Beautiful table, nice work!

Great and simple man. Sure there are ways to make it more complicated or intricate. But for about $200 bucks, that's an awesome table people pay $1000s for. Well done!

So cool! Great video and really helpful. Thanks so much! Nice job. :)

Good vid! And excellent table!!! Thanks!

VERY NICE! CASTERS LOOK GOOD.

Awesome table. I just bought 2×4's yesterday.

Wow. Great build. Fun to watch.

This video is awesome- simple and to the point, and the table rules- I love how the shellac brought out the different shades/patterns in the wood.. Thank you for sharing- subbed!

That's is awesome. Job well done. Makes me want to go make one for my porch.

Nice table! Great build and video work I hope it brings you many years of satisfaction.

great job, i was amazed through out

dude, that is kick ass! looks really good.

Great build!

Good looking table!

It's beautiful, well done sir!

Not to bad. Love the casters.

This is awesome dude!

Great Video, well presented, it turned out awesome, looks absolutely fantastic, well done.

Nice work, l made a work bench last year. The glue process is actually quite stressful and a planer and belt sander really helped to finish.

Super nice work , great video .

Cool project!

Awesome table!!!

This was great. I'm planning on doing my kitchen table and bed frames this way. Short on tools and wood right now.

That's a cool table , great job bro!

I love how "not so confident" you sounded in the beginning and then BOOM! You made one of the best home made tables I've ever seen. Great work. I look forward to more crafts. Will definitely share your page and get more to subscribe. Great stuff man.

Fantastic job!

Thank you for the video. Great job!!

Good job bud, turned out great!

I like some of what you did. The way the base is built gives ya plenty of "toe space" and it can be used as a pic Nik table as well as a work bench. The casters are nice and The shellac looks good (I wouldn't have thought of that.

I like your leg assembly. I thought the built up mortise and tenon joint was pretty clever to be honest.

Very nice work !! Awesome idea.

thats a great looking table :)

Beautiful!! Very nice and im about to tempy my first build myself.

Great build bro .

nice! im about to try this out thanks a ton

Great job!!

Wow this was great ! and the casters were a good idea

9:51 YES YES YES This man knows what he is doing... I have been in the Furniture Refinishing Business for many years... and it kills me when someone doesn't use TACK CLOTH to wipe it down between EACH Sanding...

awesome build

Nice finish on it

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Very nice table practical good job indeed

That’s a nice build ❤

Thanks for the info… just subscribed and looking forward to more

Very Very Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job! I use the same method filling holes, nicks, and cracks with the sawdust and glue mixture too. It makes for a good color match. A friend told me about Durhams Rock Hard Water Putty. I’ve used it on occasion and I’m happy with the results. It’s inexpensive too. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it.

Dude this is beautiful!! Great 👍🏽 job

Very nice job

It looks great nice job.... 🤙

Great job!

Great Job!

Nice work man!
