I'm with him, you have eased my anxiety with my impeding worktop instalment, very clear and simple instructions for a (what is for me) a complicated job, thank you. Liked and subscribed.

[@richardaird2880]

The clearest and best video I have seen in relation to a mason's mitre joint. Not rushed and every step explained. Cheers👍

[@homeimprovements]

[@Twotierk]

Brilliant video! I've watched countless one's on this topic and yours is the only one that sunk in first time. Superb👍

[@homeimprovements]

[@Smithb83]

The thumnail looking very professional guys 🔥 great tutorial thanks

[@homeimprovements]

Appreciate it!

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Clear and informative tutorial on how to cut a mason's mitre on worktops. The 9mm offset was particularly well explained. Probably not necessary on the joint you made, as there was enough of an overhang on the other end. That said, excellent video. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@muhammadAli-kd2zp]

Great explanation 👍

[@samfringle916]

Great video, much better than a crumb catcher!

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks 👍

[@christhompson1708]

Best vids on you tube by far

[@homeimprovements]

Thank you, much appreciated 👍🏻

[@jonq8714]

I love the look of this, I'm building a maple worktop for my kitchen and was wondering how this sort of joint handles wood expansion.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks 😊 and Not too sure with maple 🤔

[@milenmilchev7342]

can you make a video showing how to do the miter if the wall is offset ? less than 90 degrees or more . Current video was very informative thanks!

[@johnnyboghean2242]

wow, really good explanation, thank you

[@homeimprovements]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@rudolphsiekiera7579]

Thanks for the tips.

[@homeimprovements]

No problem!😁😁

[@Drunk3nMonk3y72]

Tip for you. Bit of double sided tape on the worktop as well as clamps to make sure the jig doesn't move at all

[@homeimprovements]

Nice one 😊👊🏼

[@quagmirewasere]

Do a tiling video its the bane of my life 🤣🤣

[@homeimprovements]

🤣👌🏼👌🏼

[@jonathang.5092]

Great informative video! Can this method be used on laminate worktops?

[@homeimprovements]

Absolutely 😁👌🏼

[@stephenwatson1873]

Hi, great video, very easy to understand, but could you explain please, How do you ensure the masons mitre joint is water proof, is that down to the glue you use?

[@homeimprovements]

It is 😊😊😊

[@Twotierk]

You can use colour fill, silicone or a good quality waterproof glue like gorilla

[@emil-sorinmalai3456]

Very informative! One question though, I dont have a 1/2in router but a 1/4in and no router bushing. Could I still use the jig with a bearing bit, or should I just use a different method for joining worktops?

[@homeimprovements]

I’d invest in a 1/2 inch for worktops 😊 lot of power needed

[@elvisoshaughnessy4109]

Hi, have similar jig for joing work top but i don't have the pins, where can i get them

[@homeimprovements]

Amazon 😊

[@HaveAHuff]

What is the benefit to a mason's mitre as to a regular mitre or butt joint?

[@homeimprovements]

Comes down to the bullnose on certain worktops 😊

[@HaveAHuff]

@@homeimprovements Makes sense. Thank you. 👍

[@garyblake3130]

It is a butt and mitre, a masons mitre which derives fro ancient stone masons is nothing like that. go to Lost Art Press and type in mason’s mitre and you will see the line of what he does on here is nothing like this.

[@JaySingh-vg3nr]

Pal can I ask which glue you use to join both worktops together .also do you allow expansion gaps to the rear of the worktops please

[@michalzwierzynski5678]

gorilla glue

[@francescastevens3777]

I have a question, why do you cut the join’s staggered like that & not straight? I am honestly curious. 🤔

[@homeimprovements]

Do you mean why the masons mitre and not a butt joint ? If so it’s mainly used on bullnose tops allows for a seamless joint square edge like this it’s not necessary but we used it to demonstrate the process 😊

[@ChrisKennedy789]

Great video but why not use biscuits for the joints can be alot easier sometimes i found myself messing about with the joint to much without biscuits but find a whole lot easier with them. Keep up the great work love the videos

[@homeimprovements]

Great idea 😊👏🏼

[@BODGE71]

A word of warning. Many manufacturers of wooden worktops specifically state that you shouldn't join the worktops using a mason's mitre but should butt joint them instead. So check before you router away,

[@mowerv]

Just need another pair of hands to lift the breakfast bar!!

[@jimscullion7466]

Not a professional but reasonably competent but this is the first video I've ever seen where you pencil line the male mitre joint line which will allow for any deviance in the wall corner angle.....so bloody blindingly obvious now I've seen it!

[@nachobanditchannel]

Just be careful as if its out of square by a lot, the 'hockey stick' wont line up correctly at the mitred bit and you will have a gap in the join. This is because the pivot point of the male peg closest to the router isn't directly where the router cuts into the worktop, if that makes sense.

[@jackadams9428]

Why aren't you using the 600 mm end peg? Then you don't need your 9.5mm offset 😆

[@homeimprovements]

Because that only works on perfectly sqaure walls these are no 🙈

[@jimscullion7466]

and the screw thingy is just genius.......cheap jig, very expensive worktop......
