having a clear out and have found a Trend Video .It is No 3...Joining
Kitchen Worktops . First person to reply here with a working e-mail that I
can reply to will have it posted to them .

I'd like that , please. I am soon to re-do my kitchen, on the old tops I
used those horrible ally joining strips, never again (shudder)

Some additional recommendations:
- Either buy or rent a reasonable worktop jig
- Same for a decent 12.7mm router (e.g. Trend, DW, Freud, Makita, Bosch)
- Same for router bits (e.g. CMT or Freud)
Some or all of this may be Ebayable afterwards but a decent router is
always worth having.
- It is very helpful and effective to use either beech or plastic
joining biscuits in order to get and maintain
exact vertical alignment of the two sections of worktop. about 4
across a 600mm joint is reasonable If you don't have a biscuit
joiner, this may be a good reason to buy one (it will be otherwise
useful); or failing that, for this application, you could use a
specific type of slotting bit in the router.
- Use the old lengths of worktop for practicing.
- When you come to do the actual cuts, check the template positioning
and orientation many times.
