Pole clamps were pretty nice to have around.

I’ve been pretty busy these past few weeks building out our counter top and booth for the Steve’s Deli opening in July.  We lucked out and got some cabinets at Construction Junction that match the display shelves that Wheel and Wedge installed at the booth. We bought a bunch of walnut from John at Timber Trails in Grove City.  We glued and clamped it to a plywood backing board and made a butcher block ish counter top.  Those flat metal stuff joiner thingys make good glue scrapers.

Clamping the 9′ long section to put onto the wall pieces we framed out of 2x4s.

Gluing and fastening the outer frame around the countertop.   I wanted it to be thicker than 4/4 wood, so I attached a frame half a board wide around the outer perimeter to conceal the plywood underneath.

The counter top so far, sanded and ready for finishing.  We’re waiting for some Rubio Monocoat to arrive at Artemis for us next week.  We’re pretty excited to see this completed.  Ready to move in Wednesday!
