Trust me, there you will find diagrams and videos to guide you on your journey. The mother and daughter team are pretty cool with their creations, and the guys are always simple and to the point.
I’ve seen people make them out of dressers or rolling kitchen or bar carts. You could check out these ideas: https://www.bhg.com/kitchen/island/do-it-yourself-kitchen-island-ideas/

There are two categories of islands- those that are stationary, and those that are moveable.
One common mistake that I have seen folks make with the diy moveable ones is cheaping out and not purchasing casters that are robust enough to support the weight of island and contents.
Stationary islands can have counter tops with longer/larger overhangs and still be stable compared with moveable island bases with the same dimensions.
