Briefly delurking - I need to advice on making a butchers block and a kitchen trolley for it to sit on. Whilst my general diy woodworking skills are ok, I've not made much furniture before. So questions.
The butchers block is going to be in beech but what should I use for the trolley? Depending on the costs, can I use beech as well?
When I'm gluing up the blocks, can I glue them all up at once or do I need to glue them together in say blocks of four and then glue those together into larger areas etc?
The trolley is going to be fairly simple - 4 legs and 2 shelves (I've leave trying to make draws for another project). But I'm a bit clues as to how to join legs and shelves together. As it's going to be in a kitchen it needs to look reasonable so the long-screws-through-the- legs technique isn't going to work.
Any other pointers appreciated, thanks.
