Routing a Drainer in a Oak worktop

when it comes to fitting Oak worktops things get done a little difference as standard but when it comes to fitting a Belfast sink it can open even more obstetrical, in this video i need a drainer and the only way it with a router but then you need a jig which i don't have so i will make one, very easy and to the size i want.

Good honest demo. Thanks for passing on the knowledge.

Cracking job. The flappy splines on the jig were a bit scary but the finished drainer looked absolutely great 👍🏻

[@karl2896]

Excellent demonstration

Thanks chief, I'm new to routing and this was just priceless for me, as I'm also new to biscuit jointing, and I'm about to make my own scaffold board kitchen worktops.
Wish me luck fella!

That sounds like a good starter, good luck and enjoy

I like when you said that you spend about a week making it then use it for 10 min and then never use it again 😂 loved your video. Thank you

[@dmgladden]

Thank you Ewelina so very kind of you, the challenge now is to see if you feel the same after watching the other 425 of my video's, please do let me know

[@damiansheils510]

Very useful video David, thank you as I need to do this job on my oak work top.over a Belfast sink.

[@dmgladden]

Your welcome but need my upgrade suggestions at the end it will make the job a lot easier

[@mickfrost4423]

Well done David I liked that one what a good way to get this drainer done. I would have been so nervous routing this out in solid oak mate but good work it looks very good.

Nice video , I have this to do soon , what bit did you use and you get any breakout at the end of the cut ?

[@kevinhowarth7651]

I have used a trend jig were you got the finger extend them and leave a solid piece then they mite not move good vid again dav

[@dmgladden]

Hi Kevin yes I've seen such jigs but as I didn't have one it made me think of so many others in the same boat so let's make one lol

[@vasel208]

👍👍👍👍👍👍😊

[@happy2meetu34]

Old money for me, even since being in the trade and converting in '65....still go back to old money lol

[@dmgladden]

I use both all the time, which ever the mark sits on best is the one I use

[@timbeniuk7884]

Thanks for the video David - one question - there's no fall on the wider sections between the grooves - would water accumulate there when dishes are draining? Cheers, Tim

[@dmgladden]

Hi Tim understand what your saying but it's just something that's not done and never seems an issue

[@bygrgra]

Cool video. How'd you seal the oak from moisture once cut?

[@dmgladden]

Danish Oil

[@melsparkles]

Beautiful job. What was the template made out of please?

[@dmgladden]

I used a peace of multi panel as I have so much spare of this, it's a 10mm ply with a Formica cover on bother sides making it very strange and stable
