this is obviously the DIY method and not the way a kitchen fitter would make the joint....also the end you marked was not the end you cut, did you transfer the mark to the other end ?
I'm a joiner of 42 years, what you have to remember not everyone as got the tools we have an more important the router is a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands , I know joiners that can't use them properly.
This is the lazy way of joining worktops. The best and professional way is to use a jig template and router to make a seamless mitre joint, use biscuits, glue and clamp the worktops together from underneath. This way the cheap horrible metal or plastic jointing strip you have used acts as a trap for liquids, food debris, rubbish and over time becomes a festering mess. I would be ashamed to join worktops like this.
Absolute rubbish. It's the cheapest way granted, because not everyone wants to fork out £40 for a jig they'll only use once, or pay a carpenter £100 to do it. I've just removed worktops, I fitted for a customer 20 years ago, using this method, at their request. Was there a festering mess underneath the strips you talk of, not in the slightest. Silicone had made sure not even a crumb had got past. Stop scaremongering, sometimes you have to do what the customer requests.
My client will be so impressed with this... thanks 👏
My job next couple off days thank you so so much 👍
Good Job Mate. ❤

Nothing wrong with that
Hi where did you get this worktop from ?

Fake.
Marked and cut the wrong end. The final shot was ANOTHER piece. Why not just admit it?
Look at it carefully again from the beginning
Where do you get the piece of metal from?
In uk you can get it from toolstation,screwfix or any hardware shop.

What an ego you have. Nothing wrong with this construction. cheaper than hiring a professional who gets overpaid for this.
@@QuadyModo Thank you for your response, this gives DYI a pat on the shoulder. And one for you.
No no no rookie way of doing it 👎🏼
