Well be going over how to build a custom entertainment stand, using Birch butcher block.
The final stand is 19.5”H x 50”W x 19”D, but of course you can make one as deep, wide or high as you’d like.
Shout out to my sister and her fiancé for letting me use their table saw.

Quick tip: after applying stain, while it's still wet or damp, wipe it off with a lint free rag, going in the direction of the grain. Let dry then reapply a 2nd coat and wipe it off again. It will give a nice even coat without those dark spots.

@cliftonfriese18 4 года назад

Love custom stuff. DIY is smart for certain things.

@thepidio3356 3 года назад

I've been looking at some DIY rustic/industrial low TV stands builds, and this is one of the easier ones to follow, especially with such a simple, functional, and good-looking design. I am thinking of modifying your build to only have one shelf because I want to place this stand in front of my unused fireplace, which as a 2" hearth. Thank you for sharing your build!

@Gypsyman40 4 года назад

Pre stain, Nice bristle brush, or wipe the stain in, which I feel shows more grain. Use a tack clothe to remove dust. More layers of finish. Use semi gloss finish for the first 2-4 coat, then finish with satin finish. Sand with finer sand paper between the final finish coat. Great job and I love the table.

@GeorgeNadaYT 4 года назад

The finish turned out great. Love the color.

@marknichols7861 2 года назад

What a great project! You should be proud of yourself for getting it done. I like the simplicity of the design and your matte and stain choices. Good job!

@nowayamadeus 3 года назад

I'm building a six-foot version right now. I noticed, after I'd ordered them, that the pipes and flanges you link to on Amazon are actually 1-1/4" instead of 1" like you used here. It's turned out okay, though. I grabbed a 1-3/4" forstner bit and went with it since the larger diameter pipe looks good with the 6' butcher block. I also used a spade bit after I got the forstner started because the spade can take out a large amount of the center of the hole much quicker than the forstner by itself. You end up with a lip in the hole that the forstner bit can sit on, and it cuts that lip really fast since the center is already cleared out. Thanks for posting this. I'm excited to see mine all set up.

Looks good, man. Like the style. Definitely understand building your own as most of the 'stands' out there are either crappy MDF boxes that cant actually hold your speaker and gear, to basically small hutches that are too tall with a top shelf made for a sound bar.

i made similar using granite as the shelves and treaded stud. so each shelve can be firmly pressed by nuts from top and bottom

@createdezign1840 4 года назад

One last step you could do is to finish it with paste wax and wire wool. It takes out the nibs out in the varnish (removes/flattens dust partials and imperfections) and gives it a semi gloss natural lustre, rather than the slightly plastic raw varnish look..

@tHAvIlLaMaN 4 года назад

Good to know.. thanks for the tip!

@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 2 года назад

Thank you for such a great guide. I ended up making similar items: -a coffee table with a top and one shelf, left the butcher block (birch) it’s original size. -a TV stand with a top and one shelf that just sits on the feet with some thick felt pads protecting the butcher block. Left butcher block original size -4 matching end tables. The birch butcher block was cheap as it had some dents and dings which I used an iron, t shirt, water to lift the dents out. -Finish was a Varathane waterbased gunstock color, which is lighter than yours and matches my hardwood floors. I used a pre-stain conditioner as well, which worked well to prevent blotchy staining on such a soft, porous wood. - I went with Varathane water based polyurethane. 10-12 coats, allowing two hours to dry in between. I also sanded with 600 grain between each coat. Coats started to get smooth with good coverage at somewhere between 6-8 coats (I’d say this is your minimum based on my experience). I waited a week before using the furniture just to be safe. After 6 months, the coffee table finish still looks basically new so the finish is holding up well.
