Hi Leah, you have a way of BOOSTING confidence in all of us, just by saying, “ I know you can do this”.
I've been watching your videos for years. They all have value, even if I already know what to do on a project. Sometimes you have a better way to do it.
Jane: I started flipping homes over the last two years and have watched all of your videos. Your relaxed and detailed instructions are spot on. You have not only saved me thousands of dollars, but have instilled the confidence in me to tackle every obstacle that I encounterd on each and every home that I flipped thus far. I really think you should have your own show on HGTV or perhaps a few books. Dan from Pittsburgh -
thanks you, Dan, so glad to be of help!
Once again you saved me, Leah. My contractors left for 5 days and I have a new counter, but not a sink back in, with 5 people living here, so I need to get the job finished. Nothing like late night carpentry. You rock, Girl!
You're welcome, I'm glad my video helped!

I've watched several videos on this subject. Yours is by far the best. Others are showing you cutting from the laminate side, requiring a special blade with the teeth that cut on the down-stroke. Since my counter tops have the integral backsplash, it would get a bit tricky when cutting at the back. I'm still going to put tape down on the top (laminate) side as a precaution, but I am much more at ease with cutting it this way. Great tip on the scrap piece to hold the center so it doesn't break off near the end of the cut! Leah, all the videos I've watched of yours have taught me something. Keep the videos coming. You're a jewel!
Many talented people are not also good instructors. You've explained this task very clearly and simply to we novices. I appreciate that you let us know what size drill bit and type saw blade to use. You also made sure we understand why you are doing something a certain way. Give yourself a big pat on the back for me! Thanks!
you're very welcome, and thank you for the compliment
Ladies you can do, I a 61 yr old woman am getting the jobs done. Thank you, times 10, for really simplifying and mentioning the details of blade type, etc. I am now ready to complete my kitchen update.
Using scrap for a temporary brace is brilliant. I never thought of that. Installing a new sink into a new countertop tonight. Thanks Leah!!!
Hi Scott, how did your sink installation project go?
Leah, the video was very helpful...you should be on TV!!!!!!!
+Jimmy Little Thanks, Jimmy!
FANTASTIC VIDEO! You have a gift for the "Compare and Contrast" way of communicating. This video encompasses such a variety of styles it could have been overload, but you streamlined the explanation. Well done!
❤❤❤ Art Deco & a small flourish of Art Nouveau! ❤❤❤
I need to enlarge a hole for my new-to-me sink and I'm watching a bunch of these videos - and it isn't until I watch this video that I learn about the right blade to use, screwing in that board to help keep the edge clean, not to mention that it is indeed okay to cut laminate side up... after 12 videos, this is the most helpful. NOW I feel like I have enough information to proceed. Awesome how-to video! Thank you! I haven't looked at your other videos YET, but I'm hoping you cover plunge cutting and some joining techniques, or take that as a suggestion. :-) Clear, concise, and thorough video! Thank you!
Thank you for an extraordinary explanation of mounting a sink in a laminate countertop. Bravo! Clear, concise, and easy. As a retiree, I am converting our new van into a camper. It's like buildling a tiny house and your videos are very helpful. You are making a difference!
thank you so much, David. That is very kind of you to say, and I'm happy to hear it!
This is very old but helpful, thank you! Commenting on old posts is probably silly, but thank you anyway.
Thank You for your time to show us how to do this and the many other videos you do! You have helped my wife and I remodel our old house , taking what looks like a difficult job and explained how to make it easier to do!
That was so helpful. Thank you so much. Putting a piece of wood reduced the vibration from the jigsaw. I just really wanted to take a second to thank you for all the great tips You have offered on your Chanel. GOD bless you with health, wealth and tranquility
Thank you very much! Very clear now on what I have to do, diamond cuts to hold the template in place and piece of wood to hold the scrap piece in place to eliminate stress just awesome! Thanks again!!!!
Excellent tutorial! I love the idea of removing the stress on the laminate by attaching a board to the cut-out.
Joe Hester Thanks, Joe! Glad it was helpful.
Just make sure it is long enough to cover the span,Really??
it never amazes me on what you can get from watching videos like this, the little short cuts like the triangles in the template, the scrap wood to hold the piece together. awesome work, awesome tips and most of all i have learned a couple of tricks,thank you
Thao Diep You're welcome, Thao! Thanks so much for commenting. :)
I love your videos, Leah! You explain your steps fully giving reasons, so I can understand the “why” it’s done, as well as how it’s done. Heading to the tool store to get the metal cutting jigsaw blades with small teeth😊
Installing my sink today, thank you for your tips. Love your personality. Very comforting and reassuring.
good luck with your project!
Love your videos!!! I am the handy person around our house and this is one of the most informative, helpful and detailed videos I’ve seen. Thank you thank you
The tips about the diamonds cut in the template and the piece of wood to hold the piece of laminate you are cutting are great tips, which I will pass along to my husband when we cut the counter top tomorrow.
You are absolutely brilliant, and your videos always leave me feeling confident with no questions left. Thank you!!
Attaching a strip of wood to the top is brilliant. We were going to buy clamps, but this is so much simpler and cost effective. Thank you!
you're welcome, Melissa, glad it was helpful!
Great tips, Leah! The board to hold the cutout is genius. And I agree with Jan about knowing the right sawblade to use. Also good tip about using the wide paddle bit to start the hole. Your videos are golden!
thanks!
Screwing a piece of wood to the piece you are cutting out... simple, but brilliant idea/tip. Thanks again for detailed explanation and super helpful tips!!
Lionel Cordova thanks, Lionel, glad to be of help!
I have a Corian integrated sink that I need to remove in order to put in an overmount sink! Your video is so easy to follow and I will use the basics to my project. My problem is that in other Corian cutting videos it's not clear what kind of saw blades to use. BTW, I watched the sheet laminate installation video and I will be covering the old Corian with that! Thanks sooooo much!
Thank you Leah! You are a sweetheart. I am doing a round hole in a dresser, but this helped me see what I did wrong on past projects. It also helped me feel like I can cut something that really matters how it looks!
Sherry Marie Smith You're very welcome, Sherry! I'm glad it was helpful.
Excellent, thank you. Building out a skoolie and your videos are super helpful.
Wow... I've watched a bunch of videos on how to cut out the sink hole and this is the ONLY one that makes sense !! Leave it to a woman to do it right !! Now I know I can do it... Thank you !!
Now I just need you to explain how to cut the countertop shorter, I need to use both pieces (Including the cut off) of a laminate countertop with an attached back splash.
+Kathy Doyle Hi Kathy, I responded to your email with a link to our video that shows how to do that
Thanks for a very clear and informative video! The tips are great, especially about screwing in the piece of wood.
Thank you I learned a couple tricks with your video even though I have cut countertops before! I will use next next week for my next project!
I really like the way you explain things Leah. Very inspiring, thank you.
you're very welcome, glad to be of help!
Toilet done last month, kitchen being done now. Looking forward to trying your methods once again. Will give feedback soon. Thank you!
I just found this series. I am a 37 year old female that has done a zillion major household construction projects and this is the FIRST time I have seen youtube tutorial wasn't made by a man OR had a woman say "then my contractor husband cut do the construction so I could diy decorate" THANK YOU. I will certainly watch more.
also at Terry , jig saw is correct too. Its a generation thing.
+Rose DeSiano you're welcome, Rose, and thanks for your comments! This is one of the reasons why we do this, so that people know that anyone can learn how to use tools and work on their own houses! Glad you like our vids!
The qualities of a good teacher... Thanks for the video.
:)
Thank you ever so much am doing a kitchen all by myself and this lovely tip has cooled me down so much.
Thanks again.
That's great! I'm glad you found us, and glad you commented! Good for you for doing it yourself!
Leah, I like your style. You are very good and clear about explaining things. I am off to cut out for my kitchen sink now. ( I will be using the scrap 2x4 for a support truss too...great idea)!
soudsa1 Thanks, soudsa, and good luck with your project!
Wow, very thorough and explained well. Thanks, can't wait to go try.
I'm going to do this soon, and saw this vid- very helpful. Thanks for this!!
Very helpful. Putting in a new countertop today and sink. Thank you!
Carter M You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Thanks as always for your clear and easy to follow instructions. Your tutorials are fantastic.
you're welcome, Peter, and thanks for the compliment!
Very helpful. Thank you! The spanner board to keep the cut out in place until you are done is genius!
thanks, John. That is very nice of you to say. I appreciate your comment!
Very good tutorial! Bless you girl!
Thank you for that video Leah, that will come handy tomorrow.
Good tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make the instructional videos.
you're welcome, Yahron, and thank you!
This video will help me a lot. Thanks and keep the excellent work!
Well done. Thank you. That scrap support piece is a great idea.
Just wanted to add that my upcoming project involves relaminating a countertop with an existing sink. After watching your video, I had an idea. I'm going to make a cutout to fit inside the void where the sink goes and attach it with boards from underneath. This way, I can glue and cut the formica with something behind it instead of an empty space. Getting it flush may be a challenge, but think it's doable. Your board on top of the cutout gave me this idea.
That sounds like a good idea! I'd be interested to know how it works out.
very nicely done and extremely helpful, thanks a ton!
I try to watch just your videos so detailed i appreciate it
I love your videos! Great explanations!
You explained it better than all others on TY , thank you.

Hi Leah, I love you and have learned so very much and you always give me the confidence to do it myself. I have a question. Currently have a round bathroom sink that I want to change it out to an oval bathroom sink. Is that possible to do? Haven't found a single source to show me just how to do that. Thanks Leah.
Awesome video! Thanks for all tips & tricks you have provided.
Johnnie Taylor You're welcome, Johnnie! Thanks for commenting.

So glad you took the time,to the point no bla bla just the meat & potatoes,true trades personnel tx Leah S J D
You are awesome! I've learned so much from you. Your my go to person
Thank you for the great video !
Leah what if you don't have a template to use to mark out the the cut and all you have is the outer dimensions of the sink it self. How much would you measure inward so it will fit and not hit the inside groove that you attach to the counter underneath to hold the sink in place on a 22 x 33 inch double kitchen sink. Is it 21 3/8. X 31 3/8
Thank you so much for posting this helpful video. Great tips!
90daysoulmate You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
I’m replacing my laminate top on a countertop that is already installed. When I put the laminate sheet over the top of the counter where the sink would go, would it still be best to use a jig saw to cut out the hole for the sink even though I won’t be cutting through anything more than laminate as the wood portion of the countertop was previously cut out?
Thank you so much for your video! very informative!
Thanks so much for your videos they are a blessing to us do it yourselfer's!

Any ideas on how to cut laminate for farmhouse sink? sorry if that's a dumb question - I really appreciate your vids
Would you say that using hole saw one should also cut from the top side? I see mixed opinions on that but I kind of trust yours!
This was excellent
Thank you! !
