ONE of a KIND Butcher Block! JOINERY!

[@billhiney6925]

Your stuff is always first class. It certainly doesn’t deserve a thumbs down. I really wish you were my neighbor. Then I could drop by with a beer-bribe for your knowledge. Keep up the excellent work.

[@rhwoodshop]

Thank You!!! I would gladly take a beer bribe. Bring it!

[@stevegronsky8904]

Very nice Drew. The joinery helps with alignment too. "Beer Bribe" ..... Now that's my kind of shop! 🍺

[@rhwoodshop]

Yes it does. Such an easy glue up. Thank You!!!

[@stevehubner560]

He really did, I was very concerned about whether or not it was “unique“ enough for him but it was. Thank You!!!

[@jimwylie4415]

[@rhwoodshop]

[@jimwylie4415]

[@wg8304]

My mother in law has a cabinet height butcher block with dovetails joints

[@johnettebeaver1991]

Beautiful project! I want one! How much? If I had your tools I could build it but I am semi retired and have sold so many tools already. My husband told me I always worked to buy more tools......YES!!!

[@johnettebeaver1991]

Where did you get that feather board?? Loving the tools!!! Can’t abide not having the right or even good quality tool!!!

[@musicbymark]

Didn't realize you have same Delta drum sander. Have you been happy? Mine has NEVER tracked well, even after a very effortful Delta repair shop gave it their best shot. No matter how I adjust it, the feed belt tracks off to the right, requiring loosening/moving it back to the far left every 4-7 runs thru w/ boards.

[@rhwoodshop]

I do like mine and what I ended up doing to get it tracking correctly was running stock through while adjusting the belt because it seemed like under no load it would track fine but the moment load was put down on it, it would start tracking to the right. It is not quite centered but it’s no longer tracking to the right anymore.

[@musicbymark]

@@rhwoodshop I've tried running it loose or as tight as I can get it with the right adjustment screw and reverse efforts with the left adjustment screw and it always track to the outside, open end. It really stumped the repair guy to who thought he fixed it but he only reduced the problem slightly. Do you tighten the side you want the belt to track toward? Do you have the other side just barely snug?

[@Arain606]

Thank you! finally! this is what I want. I have a Butcher block table made this way! Is it possible to get costs?.

[@FranksDIY]

that is an unique pattern for sure. did you ever have to stop because you got confused lol.

[@rhwoodshop]

No it went pretty well without having to stop. Thank You!!!

[@daverowe5351]

Kool!! - The joinery gives it a great look and nice mix of the Purple Heart!! - on another note in one of your future Sketch Up segments can you incorporate how to use the Cut List/Cut Layout Extension?

[@rhwoodshop]

Thanks a lot Dave I appreciate it and yes after I get better with using the cut list extension, I plan on making a video about it

[@rjtumble]

Very nice, what kind of oil did you dip it into at the end?

[@rhwoodshop]

It is 100% Food Grade Mineral Oil. Thank you!

[@robertbristow8140]

How did you keep the purple hart purple? Any time I do any sanding on purple hart it turns grey and loses all appeal. I have tried heating it after sanding which can bring the color back out but that comes with its own set of problems. Would love to know any tricks for keeping the color throughout the process.

[@rhwoodshop]

Purple Heart is such a dense wood that sanding, if done too aggressively, can lead to scorching of the end grain which discolors the overall appearance. Doing a fine sanding that is not too aggressive will take care of the burn marks that you might get from an aggressive pass using 80 grit or lower.
