How do you measure for the openings on the veneer before cutting?

Full face on the white is a good move. Not sure if this is painted veneer product or a laminate/thermofoil but I didn't see any prep for the outside corners to protect from router bit burning up the side panel. Also the dude with the file looks like it was his first time. I would like to see close ups of those finished corners and edges. My guess is not real clean upon close inspection. The chance of a DIY homeowner doing this with success is slim to none.

Which router bit did you use? Thanks

[@mikevogel1758]

What kind of router are you using, looks like it is offset to reach in corners?

[@mikenause3051]

just wondering, How do you route out the veneer when you lay the sheet below the countertop or in a corner? like places the router cant get too. Do you just file it down? or what is the best way to deal with that?

For tough corners you can use a razor blade, you can use the inside blade from your veneer cutter as well.
