Some friends of mine just moved into a new apartment and i wanted to make something for them as a housewarming present.
Diy butcher block kitchen island table.
25 by 96 inch piece butcher block.
By adding casters to the feet the table can easily be rolled to a different part of her house as needed.
If you re ever in the mood for a diy kitchen project then this project should keep you busy for the entire weekend.
Margaret built this butcher block table as a moveable workspace that can double as a kitchen island.
Earlier this week i shared how i built this kitchen island for my mom.
Lay the lower butcher block counter on a temporary work surface.
Their new kitchen is small and they don t have much counter space for food prep so i decided to make them a kitchen island.
I went back and forth fretting over whether to build a butcher block table top or to buy one.
When i say buy one i mean my mom.
Diy butcher block kitchen island.
I just love it.
Margaret said the casters make moving it very easy and it s simple to lock into place.
Leave three inches of space from each edge of the butcher block.
Now i have to admit that this is a challenging and tedious project but the end results will make you say it was worth it.
Supplies for the kitchen island project.
It s easiest to assemble the island right in the kitchen.
She purchased all of the materials.
Flip the posts upside down and attach the post through the mdf to the underside of the butcher block using 2 screws.
