" Now this is your typical. Or butcher block countertop look at what is it made out of this is locally made of sugar. I've -- are brought sugar -- that pretty special is that is there high cost attached to this kind of countertop not what you think it's about -- five dollars a running foot. This piece here ran at just about 200 dollars and this is really a lifetime countered I hear -- for the beauty what's the finish on this. That's finish on this that they linseed oil. Because this this -- can be used as a cutting gorda community clean finish the beauty of butcher block after a few years you can always take the belt Sander to it looks like new again right now these look like they're different type of finish. Since when is different you write that thing lacquered -- urethane say don't want to be doing any cutting reading okay unless it's going to withstand the water around it right now. Other trouble with the situation like this is that very often when you get up against the wooden edged. If you don't have a tight fit you're gonna get little or whatever getting in there are any deal that let that. So we're doing right now we have these side gaps in the wood learned that word butcher block goes into describe it. And take up these high spots. Just there with a pencil thickness like just a pencil thickness because this episode had to retract it to wood with a regular set ascribe to take like a -- half inch -- would be doing now with a circular aside religious through this stuff but we're gonna do -- with a -- and a -- should make life easier and so essentially you're just looking at an -- but and that by that we mean each one of these big board. Pine boards has all come gathering a couple of little bit right there aren't exactly in and so now going to take that up with a better combination belt Sander and would grass. All right well that do it that that they felt standing in. What we've done is we've put a bevel on this as telling a back cut that's exactly right and now what we really want to do is take the top off. With the with the wood -- In -- take up that much so. So we. Get down and tools to do and I stress. Most -- pencil mark is done from describes that should this should do it. Very nice now how do you attach this type of a counter -- cabinet business is that just like any other countertop we're gonna attach it with it's an aquatic sheetrock screws from underneath it and and I believe this is the last thing -- list so your does. Done congratulations Ryley make a nice job here next time right OK -- you said you're going to shows how to get via. The crackle finish on the on any cabinet base I suppose that try to get started what's the worst bout the."
" The first step is you've put down one layer of coat of paint on this week that stain. OK that you can put any and it doesn't doesn't match the latex or oil all right it could be colored whatever and you just take this glue has to be an animal glue. And you just drag it across. -- Really -- where natural glue natural glue them. You get in -- consistency with an otherwise. And look we'll give you just -- and -- to drag it. Negated on there that thick yeah and the thicker you dilute it with water if you want small cracks. If you want big correction is put it on thick straight from the can't fake -- can also that them that the stronger the consistency that the white of the crack the crack that's correct. They said that for about nine and a half minutes. And you displayed since it happened. Now we're gonna put the second coat on Bob. -- which is just plain ordinary we're using a creamy white paint here."
" How could it be either latex or oil based now the top coat on this has to be a lot of days."
" See how handy this table comes in here yeah I knew your project right in the middle cavity. -- So anyway and then when this is all done you really have to wait overnight for this to dry. You put a shellac on here not a plastic."
" I searching for final finish."
" You go over the crackled glaze with a shellac right and it piece of plastic it activates this again so you just get it all slide -- you don't want to do with polyurethane sealant you want to -- either with a shellac or with a varnish right."
" Sounds good exactly."
" Okay does -- see it's starting are starting to -- already yet."
