[@muffin535]

This video must be one of the very best.Explains every detail on how to do a Masons mitre,even showing you the tricks of the trade by someone who must be able to do the mitre with his eyes shut.Like how Dave colour coded his equipment.Nice idea,especially on site.

[@joshuamatheron1]

By far the best video I’ve seen covering the masons mitre. Every detail you actually need was covered and some good tips I’ve never thought to do ie marking underneath for the cooker. Fantastic job 👍

[@tallymo2]

Much appreciate these 2 videos. Most of the similar ones are too simplistic by leaving out the complications that usually arise.

[@dannym670]

Great vid for anyone wanting to learn how to cut masons mitres in kitchen Worktop, right up until the point where he uses general purpose silicone that's a big no no. Silicone is for sanitary ware or tiles not for chipboard, put a bead of silicone on a tile and a bead of silicone on bare chipboard and see which one you can peel off! Good products to use are 'top seal' or 'bb complete', colourfil is OK but it goes off fast and doesn't give you much working time, use pva glue to seal up your hob and sink cut outs. Hope this helps 👍

[@thebrothers3971]

As I used to say to my trainees when i did engineering 30 years ago. Take your time do it properly . Speed will come.

[@BassBombBoogieWoogie]

some brilliant tips there Dave, nice to see a pro at work :)

[@deacdog]

Morecombe and Wise have got nothing non these two. Brilliant expose on art of Masonic Mitre! Cheers from Australia

Excellent instructions, very helpful, cheers.

[@johnrossinnes2461]

I personally use Balcotan waterproof glue [used on yachts but not expensive] between the joints [it seeps into the top] which provides a waterproof almost unbreakable join. A bit messy, but a super join [wear surgeons gloves so as not to get the glue on your skin].

[@edwardwilliams8924]

Excellent work Dave some great skills, thanks for posting candle man

[@billyclarke9673]

All seemed sweet bar the clear sealant instead of black colourfill but bovis obv supply him with crap to do his job so good job with what he had.

[@beanbeaner1105]

What a legend. Best explanation 👌 Just wear some safety glasses dude. 😬

[@chrishill8770]

Probably the best how to video for joining 2 worktops..... only wish id found it sooner!

[@richiefinn]

Colour fill is the best way, especially if the joint is not perfect. You will see the joint on dark w/tops using silicone. And then you can't put the colour fill in. I seal mine with wood glue, let it dry, Then colour fill. Just before fixing. He is a pro, and can get away with his method. Diy'ers may struggle to get an " invisible" joint.

[@mikefarquhar5063]

Nooice one bwatha!! 👍

[@donaldmoore5785]

Came across this video looking for info regarding a similar install. Very skillfully done and helpfully presented! I do have a question: After the female piece is cut using the jig, instead of measuring and using the jig again, why not instead use the prepared piece as pattern with a flush cut router bit or a router bit with a bushing guide? Sort of like a large scale bit of intarsia work. It seems like it would be quicker and perhaps even a bit more accurate due the very real possibility of human measuring errors. One could even cut creative shapes at the joint that might be attractive. Perhaps others have insights into this that would be helpful for me to understand. Thanks!

[@remoman]

Because of the size and weight of the benchtop. Jig is easily clamped and re positioned to get it exact.

[@russellhibbert9757]

I had to have my worktops replaced on a new build as silicone was used on the joint and expanded the wood lifting the laminate, the kitchen supplier said it should of been glued

[@davidskeeterskeeter1835]

Top vid fella,,👍👍

[@darrenpulleng8231]

great vid lads... Could you of used the white jig to do both male and female cuts?

I would not risk with that silicone, thats just makes you keep tightening and tightening. Please use proper wood glue. Other than that brilliant)

Watched it and took note, Well done Both, never used a Router in my life, but have to give it ago, no other Option Dave sounds a bit London e, so no chance of calling him in.

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Dave is awesome

[@leesguitar1]

I do like the penny trick!

[@geoffreymeare3406]

Nice job......but we're the edges of the work top sealed to prevent the work top rotting ? I had a new worktop fitted by a kitchen fitter 6 years ago,now all starting to rot around sink area.The reason being the edging not sealed

[@cringlecoulson]

I don't usually seal the sink area as it shouldn't get wet! The sink should be sealed to the worktop so no water should get anywhere near it. You could always mix some pva with water and crawl under the sink and brush it on? Usually only protect underside of worktop which is directly above dishwasher

[@AJ-ds5gf]

why would you put pva any where near water? it's water soluble you thick fuck.

[@xxnickthegreekxx]

AJ waterproof PVA the evostick one is called EVA in blue bottle that works

[@dexslazenger6938]

Seal the sink edge with the same stuff he used to joint the mitres, that edge shouldn't get wet but why take the chance, it can get cold under there and condensation can form, once its blown there ain't no going back.

[@simongarlickhousetruckbuil1160]

Cheers mate doing my 1st this week

[@dexslazenger6938]

How did you clean the silicone off? I can imagine on a satin or matt worktop that silicon would shine and leave a residue? Video was a bit geezer'ish but I learned some stuff watching it so Kudos.

[@lobintool]

I tried that technique with a decent Trend router and a brand new Eurbaour cutting blade and a Magnet template but the result was not a perfect match.....very close ...but I thought it was supposed to not need any other attention. I managed to get a result with a manual plane but this should not be needed, should it?

[@regiondeltas]

Very old comment, but I'll reply anyway! I did the same thing - first time attempt with a trend template and like you it wasn't perfect but I couldn't really figure out why. What I realised is that despite having a 30mm bush and a decent DeWalt router with decent bits, the template isn't actually a perfect 30mm. For me it was almost imperceptible but there's a little bit of sideways play. What I did was very very very carefully put the template back on the male (This took me ages, but I'd already cut it to length so had zero room for error) and went over the cut again ensuring I pushed right against the template. It barely seemed to do anything, but sure enough it fitted the second time and looks outstanding. I think it just altered the curve slightly and got everything perfect So that's my tip - ensure you get right into the template when cutting

[@gavincollins9376]

@@regiondeltas When cutting cut through as you normally would, The final pass sit the router tight to the template. As you mentioned there is play in the jig and bush

[@simonsays335]

Wot no biscuits?

[@piee683]

Great job can you ask what type of white pens he uses to mark the cut out for the sink cheers

[@wallingtonfilming]

I don't know mate I'm just a candle man😎🤓

[@coconutz1642]

It's a tipex pen mate, you can get them from most stationary stores 😎👍

[@wallingtonfilming]

jerry o connor No clue mate

[@dexslazenger6938]

China graph pens/Grease pens, they are waxy and good for dark surfaces and glass, more importantly they are easy to clean off.

[@ragnor56]

👍👍👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@johnprice1105]

I know you have stops to position the jig but how long is the mitre from the straight cut to the edge of the work surface at its longest point, cheers

[@amateurvegan2636]

It’s the thickness of the worktop, 600 in this case but some times up to 615

[@leesguitar1]

No buiscuits?? And warranty on worktops is void if you don't use the colourfill!

Does this Dave guy do his own vids. Only reasoned I watched this was for his informative explanation. Camera man is annoyingly interruptive and thick!

[@xxnickthegreekxx]

Like to see how it would look if it was high gloss tops...

[@dansondevelopmentsltd6754]

xxnickthegreekxx wouldn’t make a difference. I’d never use silicon to joint

[@mrjw6701]

Those cut edges need to be sealed with pva, over the years they are going to rot unless they are sealed.

[@jakestanton1350]

That’s what the clear silicones for you muppet.

[@onetech3984]

Job was good but could have been better if you had not kept talking to him as I am also a Chippy and its not as easy as it looks but thumbs up to the bold fella for putting up with you and also at the same time getting that joint over the line mind you he chipped a bit of the worktop at the end by the grove of the male joint if he was working for me and done that I would have totally made him buy a new one and also I would not allow that much banging on top of the worktop as it's only laminate and the hammer he was using was very unsuitable for that much force being applied on that worktop

[@spartalives]

Deathkillergamez Hussain no you wouldn't, you would have used a piece of scrap to back fill the chipout. This materials is super cheep and easy to repair.

[@SauronsEye]

Yeah, I think I'll take notice of the person actually doing the job and not afraid of having their work published for the world to see, compared to a desk top jockey. As for making him buy a new bench top and you're the boss....that would be using the company's money right? To expect him to use his money would be illegal. www.fairwork.gov.au/pay/deducting-pay-and-overpayments

[@alsimonuk]

It's not a chip, it a bit of detritus on the worktop surface, you can see him scrape a bit away when he scrapes the silicone at 12:38

[@rjlplondon]

That camerman’s accent 😬 🙉

[@arshadsyed6628]

ha ha stand ups

[@ThePhilvantwo]

Well I wouldn't use a jigsaw in my worktop jig, also when he cuts the male joint he's only using one location bush and relying solely on the clamps to hold the jig. What's with spraying his power tools with green paint?? Buy an engraver!!

[@cringlecoulson]

Philip Hazleton or just Spray it green? I sprayed all my batteries with yellow line marking paint because it's not necessarily to identify the tools if stolen but also a quick way to tell if someone is using your tools or to see where they are without awkwardly inspecting someone else's kit

[@paulmcfadyen689]

Philip Hazleton you can only use one loc pin for the male cut unless the kitchen walls are a perfect 90. Also cutting away the waste with the jigsaw is a good idea as the router is then only doing half the work.

[@patproctor1703]

You never mentioned the ring fence on the router that runs in the jig pat proctor
