No insane skills necessary! This was the first time I had built anything like this and I was brand new to all woodworking when I did. It just takes time and practice:)

Would love to add this in my kitchen.

Happy to be of assistance! What you said is exactly why I decided to build the top for this. It would have been far too expensive to purchase a wooden counter top at this size. Not to mention the fact that it would have to have been custom made to fit these dimensions I needed.

Most of the other projects I’ve seen tell you how to build the base and then have you go buy the top. I want to build a large island with a sink and dishwasher built under and the cost of the top would be prohibitive. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I would say a sealant like Rubio Monocoat would be perfect for this. It maintains the seal for a long period of time. That or a polyurethane finish.

You mentioned that you wished you had done a more permanent seal. What would you suggest? (BTW, the link you shared earlier in comments doesn’t take you to what it says it will). I’m truly wanting to do this, but I need to get my hands on long clamps. I wonder if those are easily rented?
