# Build a Butcher Block

A butcher block is a great first project and they are fantastic to use. You will need to provide the appropriate glue and finish and you may need to buy timber if you can't find enough in the free materials in the workshop. See the [materials and purchasing tab](https://app.gitbook.com/@msd-makerspaces/s/machine-workshop/equipment/materials-and-purchasing) and the [gluing tab](https://app.gitbook.com/@msd-makerspaces/s/machine-workshop/~/drafts/-M7GxgUOCf1hxaEu3QKq/making/untitled/04-glueing) for more information.

Due the time it takes glue to dry you'll need to come back in 3 times to finish this project.
