prep: cup opening for sink on 8 ft butcher block section

​

DESIGN NOTES:

​

• The sink cutout on the countertop (21.5” x 13.75”) is 2.25” smaller than the external dimensions of the sink (23.75” x 15.5”). This includes the thickness of the sink (0.875”) + 0.25” overhang on each side [(0.875*2) + 0.5” = 2.25”].

​

• The sink cutout starts 3.5” from the front edge. This includes 1” countertop overhang + 0.75” for the cabinet wall + 0.875” sink thickness + additional space to adjust the position of the sink.

​

• The hole for the faucet is 1.375” diameter. The center of the hole should be 2.75” from the cutout for the sink.

NOTE: check cooktop instructions and verify dimensions of cutout plus clearances before cutting!

prep: cut short section of butcher block

​

Measure the distance between the left and right walls as shown here. From this measurement deduct 1.75”. For example, if the wall length is 109.5” then 109.5” - 96.25” = 13.25”

From a 4 ft section of butcher block cut a piece that corresponds to the length of the wall minus 96.25”. Use a fine tooth blade for a clean cut.

prep: join 2 sections of butcher block

​

Attach the short section of butcher block to the the 8 ft section with the (previously cut) sink cutout. Note the orientation of the two sections: the sink cutout should be closer to the front and the short section of butcher block is added to the left. Use a dowel jig, dowels and wood glue to join the two sections. Clamp with two 10 ft pipe clamps and leave glue to dry overnight (don’t forget to wipe all glue from the surface using a damp rag). Once the glue has dried, remove the clamps and sand the joint smooth using a fine grit sanding disk (180 and upwards)

​

Use care when moving this assembly to avoid breaking it at the seam.

Mark and drill the dowels for the last section of countertop. Align a 4 ft section of butcher block as shown. Using a dowel jig, mark and drill the dowel holes on both segments. But do not glue this last section yet.
