Great instructions for beginners…so many people leave out details that leave questions. I can literally go out tomorrow and complete this with confidence. And the laundry room looks INCREDIBLE!
this is so beautiful. i would love to make this if i ever have the opportunity to own my own home. i know very little about wood working or construction so i feel a little stupid asking but i would really like to know, how or what did you use to mount it on top of your wood brackets on the walls? i can't imagine it's just sat on them. again, beautiful work!
Is the Minwax Paste Finishing "Special Dark" that you used water resistant for use where it might have contact with wet items or water? That turned out beautiful, I absolutely love how the beauty of the wood grain shows through.
It’s all fine an dandy if all your lumber is s4s but this would never work with standard lumber from a big box store or even a local supplier unless the user is very meticulous and luck in finding lumber that’s not bowed or cupped and twisted. Taking off 1/4” on two sides isn’t squaring up the board and a cupped board will cause major headaches for users. It’s a good instruction on using a biscuit jointer but you should warn viewers to use s4s lumber or use the proper tools such as a joiner and a planet to properly mill the boards for a satisfactory glue up.
Even in a very rough joint/glue up like this. The glue is vastly stronger than biscuits/dowls/dominos. You would only use it for edge grain glue ups like this for alignment purposes. Now on a joint, dowels are much stronger than biscuits.
Yes. I show it in this video. Same stain Wood Staining Tips For The Beginner Featuring "Early American" Stain ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HNLTBKwJjpw.html
Spans over 4 feet you’ll have out of alignment planar birds using pockets most of the time. Biscuits will keep the boards in alignment so you don’t have to plane after the assembly.
The title is "How To Make a Cheap Farmhouse Countertop" but after watching I still have no idea how to do that. All I learned was how to glue two boards together, sand and stain them. That alone doesn't make a counter, just a bigger, pretty-colored board!
@@Archifx Much of the video shows sanding and staining (longer than necessary) but the part about the circular saw and router doesn't even exist. More importantly there's no explanation for the mounting, which is the only part I was interested in when clicking on the video.
@@Archifx Regarding this other person's complaints, if they need to actually see well known basic details like sawing, edge routing and how screw fixing a panel with overhanging lip from the underside are done, they have no place to be holding a power tool or any sharp object. For the rest of us, you showed sufficient detail of what timber you used and what you turned it into. For my tastes, I'll sand mine to finer grit and use pre-stain sealer so the grain is less contrasty. Cheers.
