Learn how to build a butcher block your agenda will not only save you money, and will continue for a longer period of so-called ad hoc models that cost twice as much. Also, building a butcher's block work will ensure that it will carry a lot of hard work and rough use. Although most of the work schedules are very similar, and the key to this project lies in the details of the butcher block top.
Required Materials

* Nearly four lengths of 10 feet from the oven-dried Douglas fir 2x4s
* Approximately 12 feet, 1 inch thick solid wood 2 inches wide
* Epoxy resin and hardener Kit
* Wood Clamps
* Table saw or skill
* Assorted sandpaper from 0.100 to 220 grit
* Spar Varnish
* Mineral spirits
* Paint brush
* Breathing apparatus, and rubber gloves and safety glasses
* Tape measure
* T-box

Step 1: Building the Foundation

Using 2x4s, cut each of the lengths of 10 feet to 30-inch piece of his legs. Essentially, the 2x4s will be paired with a piece cut out at the bottom of the 2x4s to allow cross-member in about 60 inches. This will be the basis for the work of a butcher's block.
Step 2. Build a butcher block work Surface Table

The key to providing a strong butcher block table top work is to use slices of wood placed side by side using the grain side as work surfaces. This ensures that the most difficult part of the wood and take the abuse of the table work. To begin construction of terraces cut surface of solid wood, or white oak, maple, in a piece of 1 by 2 inches with the grain facing the upper side of the table.
Step 3. Sticking to the top of the page

Sticking to the top of the table butcher block is essential to make the difficult, and permanent surface water that would stand in the face of hard work and years of ill-treatment. Campaign starts carefully gluing 1 of 2-inch pieces together using epoxy resin and hardener. The epoxy will add to power by the grains of wood used. Campaign starts two pieces together, and then glue these pieces to another pair until all the strips together constitute a full 24 by 60-inch butcher block top of the work.
Step 4. Permanent end to the application of

There is no doubt that wait until the epoxy to join the segments of the solid wood together and dried completely before applying the final finish. Begin the work of the sandy surface of the butcher block table with 100 grit sandpaper. This is to remove the excess epoxy to ensure the stability of the work surface. Apply the mixture of 50-50 percent Spar varnish and mineral spirits. And this mixture soak into the wood and to ensure sealing water. Sand lightly with 220 grit sandpaper. Next, apply a generous amount of a solution in the 75/25 percent of the varnish and mineral spirits. Wait until this coat is completely dry and then sand with 220 grit sandpaper. Each layer will protect the head of the butcher block chemicals, water and ill-treatment of hand tools. Finally, the application of a solution of 100 percent of Spar varnish, and let it dry and rub it with steel wool in the row for the 0000 closure of a smooth and durable.
