As part of my kitchen renovation in the abandoned building, I wanted something to fit with the concrete countertop in my DIY kitchen island, so I built this diagonal side grain butcher block countertop from hard maple. This is a relatively easy woodworking project. I milled up the maple lumber then glued it up using my Rockler woodworking clamps. Then it was a matter of routing a groove in the countertop, so it fit into the concrete portion. I love how the warmth of the wood ties the whole kitchen renovation together.

GOTTA LOVE THE PORJECTS
It's #oddlysatifying ;)
Projects
Stop porjecting
I tend to prefer porc jets. But each to their own. 🤣
Poorjects
I've heard that finishing the bottom side of the wood will help prevent warping and cracking from happening over time, especially in a moist environment like the kitchen. Also, gotta love the porject
This! If its not going to be removable, you can finish it with something more permanent like poly, so you don't have to oil it. Just protects the entire block in the long run.
Wood expands and shrinks with the moisture level so it is importent so treat all the surfice areas the same. A untreated underside could expand more than a treated top because it is not as well protectet and you maby end up with a unwanted warp in your surfice.
I just came to see comments, if someone else noticed that too. Finish all surfaces.
Agreed. Is that a dishwasher or oven underneath?
@@StrixyN I think is an oven
The diagonal to match the floor is such a perfect small detail that really ties everything together nicely. Great job, can't wait for the full kitchen reveal!
This is probably not something that people are going to notice, but I believe the feeling will be better in the kitchen!
Small details get the vibe right
100% this! I would have stressed and anguished over making sure the angle match is perfect. I definitely would have got out the Lazer level LOL
I would have gone the opposite way for contrast. But thats just preference, his way is cool too.
Seal the seam between the concrete and the block, or else you're going to get liquids (water and chicken juices for example!) wicking under and dripping below. Will cause a mess and long term issues at the joint.
Good tip.
Will also help prevent any mold growth. I know I wouldn't want to flip this thing to clean it every time I cooked with that stovetop being so close.
Personally, I'd run a line of silicone to seal that gap.
So crazy that's its already almost been 2 years since you started this amazing project and it's still as fun to watch as it was on day one! Keep up the amazing content
Great things take time, hos house/studio is looking amazing
As others have suggested, you want to seal the bottom of the butcher block as well. Great project!
apparantly He doesn't listen to the comments. so many suggested him to consider the kitchen triangle when he was designing the kitchen, it is bad.
2 episodes in a week?!? This is amazing!!!
And it’s giving me something to do while I recover from surgery so thanks Mike!!!
Get well soon Raul
Same boat recovering from surgery
porject looks great!
See Mike, I am not the only one that catches things that are off...since you noted that on the last video.
I don't know why it made me giggle so much when I saw the title on this video...
I love porjects!
Crazy to think its been two years. I remember the first video just randomly popping up in my recommended and now here we are. So great to see the plans all coming to fruition.
That last minute change to the butcher block was absolutely the right call. It looks amazing.
Butcher block looks amazing! As others have said, seal ALL sides and then seal the edge between the block and the concrete to prevent liquids from flowing down.
I would have loved to see an end grain cutting board instead. But that's my personal preference.
I’d have made it level with the concrete, but ideally removable so you could clean the grit that will eventually get in the seam (no matter how you do it-the grit will always find its way in). But hey that’s just me.
Look great! One thing I think I might have added tho is have it overhanging the island a bit on the end. That way when you’re using it you have room to move furether over the butcher block and don’t have your feet hit the island.
This is a very nice looking porject indeed
Damn, that is one sweet butcher block countertop you made for that island. Love seeing the process as always, and really happy to see you've made some good progress again. Can't wait for the next one!
Michael Alm is a wood genius, he is an artist, I looooove everything he does. I was glad to see this collab
I would have liked the butcher block level with the concrete countertop. Easier to slide things over and wouldn’t visually break up the length so much
I love the color of the butcher block against the concrete and the wrap around look was definitely the right call. Looks great
We have a semi-retired wood machinist at my work that makes these out of off-cuts from our workshop.
He made me one an inch bigger than my turntable which I then mounted on isolation feet to give truely isolated surface for my record player.
dude... that natural material contrasting the starkness of the rest of the kitchen is fabulous.
I love it! I was surprised you didn’t go end grain for the butcher block, but it works perfectly!
The brick wall, the color of the countertops, the maple butcher block...it all looks stunning.
I hate that some day we won't have more "Building renovation" episode. It has been a lot of time since I have been watching this I don't want it to stop.
Wow. 2 Years. We've all been in this for that long. Just wow. Thanks for all the great content. It has been a journey.
I've been watching from the start and am still enjoying and learning on each and every video. The butcher block is a work of art. Speaking of art, what plans do you have for the "waste" that you cut off each of the sides. I really think you should put your creative juices to work (or have one of your many very talented friends) to come up with something. Would be a shame to just toss that expensive and beautiful wood.
Two videos in 7 days Is this a Dream?!
It sucks not getting videos for a while. But seeing all this progress makes it all worth it. Two videos in a week! SO excited for more, everything look amazing so far. You must be living there now, must feel great!
Two words: pipe clamps. They’re cheap and the length is unlimited.
I’m sure Rockler has them.
Love the way the butcher block came out!
The juice grooves in butcher block cutting boards are super useful. Pretty simple to do if you wanted to add them, just use a ball end mill on the CNC and cut around the corner. Cutting briskets, steaks, chicken, etc...keeps it from dripping on the floor. Awesome project and loving the kitchen.
Thanks! I might, also made some end grain cutting boards that I'll probably put on top of these for heavy duty use, since they are more durable than the side grain
Yhoo 😱 this place looks like a million dollars now. Love the grey counter tops, exposed brick background and black metal stair case. Incredible. Mike Clifford you are a visionary my friend.
Probably 2.5-3 million to be exact 😆
So you were losing me after the last vid, but by accepting and promoting a credit union, a financial coop, props to you. Everyone should be a member.
A good way to draw a straight line is to look where you want the line to end.
I love the diagonal! It turned out super sweet. May I leave a tip for the future? If you're dealing with diagonal shapes, you can always build a trapeze and cut the overhanging triangle off and glue it to the other side. Works for me every time.
I love the series and can't wait for further updates.
Regards,
Etna.
Trapeze?
Sorry, my bad! I meant a trapezoid or trapezium for the Brits.
Regards,
Etna.

Love the total wrap around. Wasn't sure until I saw it. Makes it look like the concrete flows all the way underneath it to the end of the butcherblock.
I know nothing about wood, building, or renovations (other than I love HGTV).. But your videos just helped me survive college midterm papers, and for that I'm forever grateful
That “Wood Honey” was magical on the effect it had on the bare timber. 👍😊💕
It looks so cool like a beacon of light, natural wood, and warmth surrounded by dark, cold, matte countertops. Very nice contrasting effect
Oh my gosh that butcher block ROCKS!
Great attention to detail. The butcher's block countertop really finishes the countertops. It adds a touch of warmth to the kitchen and relates to the rest of the space.
Perfect, love that transition. I agree, it's looking superb. Just one note... I'd treat the underside witht the same treatment too to avoid cupping and protect from spills that might go under.
Love the combination of cement counter top and wooden butchers block. They are well made together by your hands. It is so felt good when you are making things with your own hands, it really inspire me to do things on my own.
Literally my first thought when you said diagonal was 'Oh like all those neat projects Michael Alm does!' LOL. That totally made my morning. The notch was definitely the way to go.
Both the counters and butchers block look great. Was getting concerned with the wait, but I figured you'd be back eventually. Not like your place is going away. Good to see you and Kat back on the CZcamss.
Loving the butcher block. You have nailed it by going diagonal on it. Very creative.
Can't wait for the full kitchen reveal.
The diagonal layout was such a nice touch. I am also loving the contrast between the natural wood finish and the dark concrete counter tops. Amazing job. I am so stoked for the other videos coming down the pipe.
I can't believe it's already been 30 episodes... but man have I enjoyed it! Great job on the kitchen, love how everything is slowly coming together!
I'm not always the biggest fan of the final aesthetic of your builds, but that countertop turned out amazing.
It is BEAUTIFUL! Adds a pop of warmth and light. Great idea!
Butcher block looks BEAUTIFUL 😘😘
Agree, this turned out way better than the original plan.
found your channel right when the first episode of this series came out
enjoyed every minute of it!
keep it up!
I think the diagonal formation and wrap around appearance gives a high end custom look to your countertop. A much better look overall. Not like all the other butcher block countertops. Fantastic job.
You knocked this one out of the park!! Love the tone of the butcher block next to the gray concrete.
I thought the counter tops were beautiful but this diagnoal butcher block is the icing on the cake Mike. I love the idea of having the diagonal butcher block line up and match the floors. I can't wait to see the full kitchen reveal and tour.
I love seeing channel crossovers! I watch Mike's channel all the time!!
I REALLY like the concrete and butcher block combo. Seriously amazing!
Today's CNC work is the ASMR version. Great work on the butcher block sir!
So excited! We are getting so close!!
It's been 2 years? holy shit and there's still so much to be done
Wow! At first I thought it would look tacky, but seeing the final result I am blown away! That is one sexy countertop!
Great job!
This looks so good. The designed woodwork contrasts and compliments the more industrial feel of the concrete very well and adds an element of high quality homely-ness that makes the kitchen really pop
Thanks David!
Everything is looking so nice!!
Never knew I wanted a butcher block until you made one
more videos please. binged watched the your past two years and need more content!
Love the diagonal movement. Anytime you repeat any sort of lineal or textural effect,
you create excitement. Like the horizontal wood grain. Diagonal is Active. Horizontal is Restful.
Maybe Horizontal wood grain would be better in a bathroom.
Very attractive project. Butcher Blocks of course are made with end grain up, so that the enzymes neutralise bacteria but I don't imagine you'll be butchering directly on the surface. Looks great.
Perfect!!
Oh i love the wrap around butcher block. Excellent decision. Your kitchen is looking amazing!
I think you did well to wrap around the counter top. The finish was so beautiful. As always my Mrs and I love watching you work. The transition you've done in the past 2 years to that place is just awesome!. Lots of love from London England 🇬🇧
The fact that us watching you build your house makes said house building possible is a win/win that I really appreciate.
100% missed the videos something bad over the last two months delighted they're back 😀
I get the notifcation for MM. I got an flick on the kettle, make a coffee and sit down to relex and watch the next episode of MM. great times.
☕😁
I love the butcher block countertop . It is beautiful . Mike you did an amazing job on the counter . It is a lot of work but so worth it . I can't wait to see the big reveal of kitchen . It is going to be stunning.
Love the oversizing, makes it much easier to wipe down when you can actually get something to catch the debris under it rather than being flush and some falling through to,the floor.
Kitchen looks amazing… used polished concrete tops when building my restaurants. 👍🏻
Great choice on the wrap around, looks 100x nicer
Great idea, marking the countertop before the glue up!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the butcher block. I think the notch was the right look.
You just "nailed" that transition from butcher block to concrete. You have a great eye and talent in the fabrication of everything you have taken on. And that's much more than mere mortal people would.
you are going to have the most bad ass, unique house anywhere when this is all done

We just gonna ignore the whole battle wound this man has endured? What beast did he battle with his bare hands to obtain such a mark???
Hey @Modustrial Maker!!
Why dont you route some channels on the underside and do a C bracket holding in together on 2 places on the width. Its gonna help you keep the butcher block straight for years to come and not so prone to bending of humidity issues. Kinda like how people do their kitchen tables with epoxy fillings and multiple tree pieces and use C brackets. Good job nonetheless!! lovely
that might have been my favorite ad ever
Very cool look. For anyone else thinking of doing something like this, I would say just think about the process of cleaning it more. Either have it next to a sink so that you can just wipe into that or have a pull out garbage can in the cabinet underneath so that you can easily sweep any mess into that.
Can't believe i started watching this like 2 years ago, amazing to see all that progress! Keep up the good work, i think we all envy your kitchen just a bit!
i cant believe how long ive been watching this channel
Good call on notching it - looks WAY better than it would have the other way.
It really looks great! The wrap around was a good call as well. Small'ish thing made major a difference.
Yep I’m glad you changed it… looks totally better!
Nice job on the butcher block, and the counter tops are fantastic.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You made the right choice with your second cut out.
I just got my biggest achievement, so far, this year
I'm now a licensed Mechanical Engineer.
I remember watching the start of this journey as a student.
And now I finished mine and still tuning in to this.
I cant wait to see you finish This Project!!
Can’t wait for the kitchen video! The countertop turned out amazing
My lord that's a beautiful kitchen
Absolutely love both the butcherblock design choice and the collab with Michael Alm. I've watched Michaels videos for about as long as I've watched yours and his mixing of materials, work with solid wood and patterned plywood designs, along with his sleek design style, was one of the main reasons why I dropped my academic education in favor of becoming a cabinet maker. I had been working with renovation of old furniture and dabbled in furniture design for about 5 years before making the choice to change, but it was really thanks to Michaels designs that I finally changed direction and followed what I really love doing. From you I've learned that concrete can be really beautiful and sleek and I hope to see future collabs between you. Would be awesome to see you work together on furniture pieces where both of your designs and skills shine through!
That's awesome! Michael is an amazing artist and an amazing person. Glad to be able to call him my friend!
@@modustrial Thanks a lot Mike! It was a tough decision as there's quite a heavy pressure on getting an academic degree here in Denmark, but I'm so happy I made the decision now and not later. I wish I could heart your comment like you hearted mine
the butcher block looks awesome
The butcher block looks amazing! Brilliant plan. :)
Ford's new Maverick right up your alley!
Kitchen is looking awesome! Love the butcher block counter
Can't wait for that kitchen reveal!
