Sink hole (hole for Undermount Sink)

First step, draw it out on the back.  John and Bryna were pretty nervous about this cut, the counter top was a couple hundred, but as they are AWESOME I had every confidence that this was going to work just fine! 

The first time that we try to rough the hole in we didn’t have the right blade.  It smelled like burning and we couldn’t make it work. ( did not take a picture of this)

 But you get the right saw blade, and poof, the hole is there.  Monday night we were giddy with how much better it cut!

Bryna used the saber saw (with the right blade) to get it cleaned up a bit:

Doing more work on the front end would reduce sanding on the counter top, so one night most of the time was spent making the guide for the router.  In the picture it is attached to the counter top all ready.

and then it is like ready to be have the finish cut done with the router. Here Bryna is cutting that at like 10:30 on Monday:

 

after which I had to go to bed.  So we didn't sand it down until Tuesday and got the first coat of waterlox on. Two more to go (with 24 hours in between) until we can install a kitchen sink!
