its very easy if
you have a perfect arc when cutting
are able to cut 100% strait
and can do it without chipping

there is possiby 3 or 4 people in the world that could make a living cutting by hand

and i definatly aint one

Gregers how much do you measure in, do you get much chipping of the laminate,has the saw got lots ot teeth per inch thankyou.

 

[gregers]

i normally do it at 20mm in,make sure its a new/fairly new saw.just a normal blue handled one.

forget it cardiy its a near impossible task for an amature
both surface must be 100% strait and square otherwisise you will get gaps and/or the worktop will rise when you tighten the bolts

i dont think greggers ment masons mitres because that tripples the difficulty

you need to cut 2 parralel cuts that havent deviated and stop then cut 2 x45 degree angles and they all match up exactly

suggest you practice on 18mm mdf or old worktops first

As a professional carpenter and kitchen fitter i'd say dont even go there.

So are you saying even yourself would not be able to do it by hand saw?

right ive just loaded up 2 piccys of my worktop,i hope there is enough detail to give you a good idea of what can be achieved by using a hand saw,biscuits,poly glue,colorfil and maybe a block plane.

this was done approx 6 years ago and its 30mm worktop.

let me know what you think of the pics,if there crud ill try and upload from my digi camara rather then my c.rappy phone.

brilliant job a real skill

i as a bench joiner would'nt even attempt a hand cut but then i do have lovley hitachi router lol

 

[gregers]

like anything the more you do the better(hopefully)you become,personally as i do not have a jig,as said i do these by hand.
ive been offered the loan of various jigs,and to be honest they scare the pants off of me,coz i aint got a scooby on how to use them,

IS IT STRANGE HOW THE MIND WORKS

im assuming the pics are ok then?

 

[big-all]

they are a bit misty but i do fully believe you and asking for clearer pictures would be disrespecting your word [that i fully trust ]
