Fantastic video. And at a really nice pace for me. You have given me so much confidence that I can do this now. Thank you so much

Only thing I do differently is rather than cut the mdf jig with a skill saw, I screw straight edges around the edge of my pencil marks and then use those as a guide and use the router to cut the jig with the router too. Takes a little longer but means my jig is 100% straight. Drilling the sink brackets tests a man’s minerals 😂👍🏻

And use a work bench. Why would you cut on top of the appliance or cabinet can I use the word juvenile

Great video very well explained keep up the great work

Neat trick with the jig you made.

I would make the jig full width of the worktop, with a 2x1 lath at the front as a stop and straight edge. Keeping it parallel, I've just done a 22mm Howden joinery worktop u shaped kitchen, putting in the jointing bolts and cut outs for sink and hob, takes longer, nice router work ,cutting 4 or 5mm at a time saves your router bit.👍

Very hard and good job, that's why the kitchen fitters asks a lot off money ...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you round the top edge of the hole for the sink? Thanks for the great video! 👍🏻

Thank you

Do you cover the Bradford/Leeds Area? I need this exact worktop fitting....

For me personally if you do sink hole 10mm smaller would look better as sink edge would be invisible no?

Great work 👏 thanks for sharing 👍 Can link in description the tools that you are useing, where to buy please. The jig for drainage channels& router bit. Thanks ageing

brackets are redundant if proper adhesive / silicone is used

Do you use the same tool for compact boards as for wood, I mean milling cutters

Hi, first you cut worktop to the size you need for fitting then put worktop on top the cabinet as is gone be in finale position. Mark the worktop underneath were the side of cabinet are then turn worktop upside down use the same screw we use for the sink with L bracket, make sure the end of bracket is strait with marking.

Hi, if the screw is 20mm you should have the same plastic included in the kit for sink fixing. The plastic is flexible rather having to fix straight in the metal plate.

Another way of doing is to use adhesive that comes the same as silicone tube, but you have to support from beneath, solid wood 10 cm wide. On the front of the sink .
