The most surprising thing for me in this video was you being able to actually find a Lowes associate available in your store to cut wood on the panel saw.
For whatever reason my local Lowe’s can’t cut a straight line
They're always going to make sure they look good if the video is sponsored.
true. i saw one the other day and was surprised
Went there to get my own countertop supplies and waited for over an hour after asking for help twice, left.. went to the other lowes on the other side of town, picked out boards (the only 4 non corkscrewed ones in the whole store).. was told the saw guy went home for the day. Went back to the first store the next day, was told the saw was out of order until further notice. Went to the second lowes, nobody knew the password to the saw, was told to come back the next day. Just a regular week.
The stores are super hit or miss. there’s always a specific lowes I go to when I need wood broken down for me
Been working in a laminate counter top and cabinet shop for the last two years, haven't seen this done before. Very cool.
Looks good. Great job!
I like how you showed us even your mistakes.
i appreciate the fact that you show when you screw up!
Been searching for hours on how to do thick edges on plywood countertop!! Many thanks!!
Dang. I really liked the matte laminate. Everything is turning out awesome! That sink is mint.
Really cool. There are a lot of little details I really like with your videos. The older I get the less intimidating these projects are. Looking forward to getting started on my own kitchen!
Great video. I've been doing laminate countertops and much more, for over 30yrs... Fyi: what i have found to use as a separation of laminate & plywood - VINYL BLINDS. They are fairly thin, but thick enough to give you the separation.. And they're easy to clean.
I have multiple strips for various projects... Such as, narrow and wide laminate countertops, I do a lot of medical facility door laminate and cabinet laminate so the shorter panels work perfectly....
Thanks for the video.. always good to see how other people approach a project. . .
I learned way more than expected! I would have just tried to put it on without the spacers, and wound up crying. I have new wood for under the sink, I'm definitely going plastic! Thank you so much ♥
Awesome video. Great tips.. plus I'll be completely remodeling our kitchen. This countertop can save me some money. Also thanks for keeping all the mistakes that you did. Its awesome to see that you can deal with anything, just gotta be patient with yourself! And none of us perfect 👌
Gorgeous!!👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing really really like the top (and I'm happy you had to took the other top 😅). For sink installation a plumber told me a trick. If you chalk the sink fill it halfway up and let it in there for 24 hrs until the chalk is hardened so you get a perfect press fit around the sink.
Awesome job! I love all of it in this kitchen. A tip for you:
If you want your top to be easily removable, please consider the possibility of using "famos" type connectors (approx € 0.4 each) instead of pocket holes.
This hardware can be also used in cabinet making for any 90° fast joint.
Great video, Johnny! Countertops look great! You definitely want to elevate that loop of corrugated dishwasher drain line above the connection to your disposal. Otherwise, you’ll have dirty water just sitting in that section.
Love this. So inexpensive and yet stylish.
Nice job with the laminate sir! Another old trick and alternative to the dowels or extension cords to keep the glued laminate from touching the glued plywood top is to use old metal or plastic Venetian blinds strips. They stack easily in the tool chest and can be re-used for years. Cheers!
- What a great job ! ! ! Your skills are evident & nice to watch. Thanx.
Hey Johnny. Dude, I love your channel and I love your projects because you’re the most realistic and practical DYIer. Other guys with a dyi channel are using these machines that cost thousands of dollars and they need a huge studio to house them and/ or make these crazy modifications and use techniques that trained carpenters have a hard time perfecting. Your projects are always fantastic, actually doable for a novice or pro DYIer. I hope you and your family are well during these crazy times. Going to try this project myself as I want to make my own garage bar... maybe an idea for a future video ? Thanks a lot Jonny.
Somewhere between retro sleek and modern. I personally love the look of the counters and top! Dope vid Johnny.
Exposed plywood edges aren't for everybody but you did a great job with it!
@C II I think it works with the cabinets he's using - modern euro style. A more traditional style cabinet, then yeah I'd probably go with an oak edge.
Looks great! What a wonderful budget friendly idea!
Totally digging this series! Keep it up Johnny!!!!
outstanding project and results! CZcams is doing a great job sending your earlier vids I've miss into the feed! so coool. hope your weekend is a perfect one
- Lots of work that ended in a 'great' project to learn from. Thanx 4 sharing.
BIG fan of the laminate/plywood counter top combo
Kitchen is lookin' good, man!
I actually love our induction top. It works great instant on and off heat like gas.
Thanks for showing the errors you made. It helps a novice like me feel better about tackling a project like this.
These are so pretty. Just gave me an idea. Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻
TY 4 making the screw ups for us. We’re learning what not 2 do & what to do… batters up!
Looks great! Nice job filming and editing!
fantastic.
I am starting this project soon. I got 50 sheets of 3/8" baltic birch thru a friend for $6 each and this is the perfect use. I will triple it up for a 1 1/8" buildup.
Love the look of this!!
I was waiting for this sooooo bad.
Great video, I love your out of the box thinking. Cool t-shirt by the way. Finnegan's garage is one of my other fav channels
This is actually a good vid for those of us without all the fancy-schmancy stuff you have (though I do still enjoy watching that too).
video production level = master... very nice
Really BEAUTIFUL job!!!!👏👏👏👏
Worktops look really cool and modern, great job. Real high end kitchens in Europe often have exposed birch ply.
It seems a lot of America is along way behind Europe with regards to kitchen trends. I see a lot of new kitchens in the states are similar styles to we had in the late nineties.
Love that plywood edge.
I heard the heartbreak about losing the timelapse. Still great and helpful and under 20 mins! Nice work, sir.
I usually add a strip of solid oak to cover the plywood edges before applying the formica. The oak gives a nice finished look. But it's cool if plywood edge is your thing.
You can also get laminate edging that matches the top. I did this for some built in desks, and people thought I’d ordered custom granite until I had them look under the top. The trick is to not get a round-over edge but one where the top comes to a sharp corner. So the line/seam is hidden in the line of the corner, then run a bead of color matched silicone along the corner.
@@amd2800barton there is a brilliant video on how to apply a finishing pre-glued strip on a rounded corner. Please visit "bonarreda" channel. These guys make an awesome job!
I hate that oak strip with a passion. This is way better.
I guess you missed the part where he said he likes it, exposed plywood look.
@@na-fv7cl No need to be snarky. As I said in original comment bare plywood is cool if that's what you like.
A simple trick that I learned from my father; laminate cut outs make great tops for children's art tables. That's great look and the cost is awesome.
Flexing on us with the All Clad. Great stuff
Nice job Johnny. We just bought a house a while back and the inspector gave us a tip...get a hose clamp or something and get that dishwasher drain higher than where it connects to the drain, otherwise nasty stuff hangs out in the low spot and stinks. Love the video!
Glad I subscribed. You're an inspiration.
The straight butcher block looks a lot better! But thanks for the info. I always appreciate craftsmanship!
Great video and the countertops look great. Thank you.
Greeat modern look and a nice install job.
Looking good so far, love the exposed plywood edging effect as well 👍🏻
I keep referring back to this video. This video is very helpful thankyou
Wow, man. This project is coming along nicely. I love it!!!
idk if im a fan of the exposed plywood. but for 300 bucks.... It is looking really really attractive.
I learned from a different creator that for 90 degree corners it’s safer to do a diagonal line and then trim out the excess triangle after it is glued down. Love how this turned out.
Just an idea. I would stain the plywood edges a darker color to match the top to much of a contrast otherwise instead of the clear coat. In the end though it is want you like.
Awesome video my man 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Jeeeeez!! Truly an ambitious job! Beautiful work!! …however, this convinced us we need to hire a guy 😅
Great video. You have a great way of explaining!
Nice work, I personally like the granite, and wood that was there before better, but to each their own. But I would like to say, I totally respect the fact that you showed everything, including your screwups. I like that you didn't edit that stuff out, because we all know that stuff happens. What you were going for in the end looked very professional, skilled. I learned a lot!
Thanks a lot Jonathan! Everyone has different tastes for sure, but I like to show people how to fix mistakes as we all make them!
As I also like the look of the visible plies in plywood, I built the table top for my assembly table in my garage from 1250 x 42mm (49" long x 1 /5/8" wide) staves of scrap 13/16" formwork plywood from work with the resin surface planed off, and ended up with a 1200 x 840 x 40mm (47 1/4" x 33" x 1 9/16") slab. I finished the edges with a 1/8" roundover bit and treated the surface with 4-5 coats of satin clear flooring laquer. It came out absolutely fantastic. :)
I mounted the table top to the 2x4 frame with 9 countersunk carriage bolts (rectangular frame 1000mm long x 760mm wide with a central crossmember).
You posted this right on time lol. I too would like a black countertop/drawers but I also love the look of exposed ply edges. I looked into Coverply which is perfect and would be a lot less work than this but MAN is it ridiculously expensive!!
Digging the Finnegan speed and marine shirt, maybe you can teach him how to better re-build the bed for one of his many ramp trucks
17:33 Came out great, nice job. Couple tips Ive learned. Using Silicone to seal garbage disposal drains in a Stainless steel sink seems to hold up a lot better over time. The heaviness of the disposal, mixed with the thinness/light weight of the metal sink can vibrate the putty out over a few years. And also if not using an air gap when running the dishwasher drain hose it's best practice to run it through the top (about 32" high) of cabinet to prevent any siphoning or backflow problems 🤙🏼
How do you add time stamps? Lol
@@randalllawkin you just type the time in your comment with the colon : symbol 👍
Awesome video ,instructions ....( I do prefer to have it in a little slower pace thou ) Love the idea about using strips vs. a whole new sheet of plywood. Everything came out beautiful.. Great job. Thank s again
Hot damn that sink looks awesome!
You do really awesome work I enjoy your page alot
Nicely done. Stay safe my friend
another shout out for induction! Thanks for the video 🙂
Bad ass man!! Love it
I love these videos where the guy has an entire workshop and show how to do something cheap…
Coming from another fellow carpenter, you did a great job filming the process. (Sometimes a camera can't show the true work being done! ) Keep building my friend!
Blahaha the music queue for the garbage disposal hose was priceless! Counter tops look awesome though, such a cool inexpensive option 👍🏽
The FSM shirt is awesome.
Love the look of wood edge exposed, and flat laminate WOULD have have been my choice, too. As for induction cook top, I have wanted one forever. Checking the videos from site, does it have a timer feature? I bought the free standing (with timer) style to see if I'd like it. Yes, great choice! Magnetic pots & pans ARE important. Most All Clad work, unless they pay finish is on it...Sorry Julia Child pot.
I was 'told' the sinks like that couldn't accommodate disposals. Thanks for showing they can. Research! Ohhh Honey!
He just said...after figuring out what your vid showed. " We're inTrouble, ladies & gentlemen."
Great video!
Nice Job!
Finnegan speed and marine for the win! Subscribed for a fellow gearhead 😁
This will be my January project. The original kitchen cabinets in my house are now the weak link.
Nicely done👍
I really like the idea of using the strips instead of 2 full sheets of plywood. I don't have much counter space but I'll probably still do the same
Next kitchen remodel try to install the faucet BEFORE you install the sink! Great video and channel! Thx John 😎👍
I really like how you show & explain your 'whoopsies' so that we are careful to not have the same brain farts. Thanks!
Definitely not my style for a kitchen specifically but as always your craft and how you tell the story is top notch. Really excited to see more of the island butcher block! Hope you're staying safe during these weird times.
GREAT JOB
Like your open honest approach man, nice come back with the laminate; shit happens! 👍
Super cool great work
Liked and subscribed!!!
Great job!
very surprising that you went with laminate countertop in this super nice kitchen with state of the art appliances.
Well... you know how it goes.. someone like me is going to comment. 1. turned out great. I may do something like this. 2. Nortric birch.. 3. use dowels.. like 100 of them. 4. you can also come back with a block of wood and a hammer. Smacking that down really makes it grab the adhesive. 5. put a round over on that. 1/8 - 1/16th. Really softens the edge. A
Seriously good job. I have the same layout minus the area to the outside of the washing machine. Going to start doing the math to do this. Got a like and a sub. ;)
Thanks! The countertops are still holding up great, although the price of wood right now definitely makes them a little more pricey!
nice work!
You are a genius!
We have the same pans. All-Clad copper core. Love mine.
Where can I purchase these set of pans?
Nice job 👌👍
great work!
Thanks for your info... You make me many ideas...to work
Excellent. I love the finish. Speaking from experience, you should have sealed all the edges. Water finds a way.
I think you can share meal making video in your new kitchen. Nice work btw. Keep up the gokd work dude, I love your channel.
Looks great. I love that you have a good variety of projects.
Wow, I was thinking about your next video coming out, you just uploaded.
Good work.
Good job !
Little did he know that his counter top table made from ply wood would be the most expensive choice in the future...
