stop the bounce. This worked well, until I made the cut across the

me, the still whirring jigsaw and about 1/2 the worktop (say £50

Oops, oh well it will probably be funny in a few years (well SWMBO will
think so anyway! ;-)

Perhaps you ought to use the jigsaw to make a cutout (15mm oversize) in
a bit of 1/2" ply. Then use that as a template for the router to make
each of the cutouts...


Ended up using the guide on the router to do the longitudinal cuts, and
the clamped worktop jig as a guide for the lateral cuts (Her idea!).

Might do that (create jig) for when the next piece of worktop gets
delivered - for the hob.
