There’s a major problem with the kitchen island build video I put out two weeks ago. Did you spot it? My viewer Baerenbruder87 did.
What happens with you disregard expansion and contraction of a large wooden slab? I’m not going to find out. In this video I show you what exactly was wrong with my kitchen island build, and how I fixed it.
Thank you to all of the viewers who leave comments critiquing my builds and techniques. I’ve learned a massive amount from you all, and you are what make the dkbuilds community better for everyone else. Keep it up!
