Construction is dangerous and work shouldn't be undertaken if not suitably trained. I do not take any responsibility for any injuries that may have occurred from what I have illustrated in the videos

Just stumbled across your channel, looking forward to watching it grow.
21yrs of age, self employed with an apprentice and your own RUclips channel, you are an inspiration for the young generation.
Thank you mate means a lot!
My thoughts exactly. I've just watched this video as I'm fitting a solid oak worktop in my daughters kitchen, this was helpful. I would of liked to of seen the finished joint on the return.
Go you mate, good to see a young fella taking so much pride in their work
Brilliant could not believe you were 21 such confidence, love the glue tip, I’m 52 and just gone on my own , never too young or old to learn and love little tips keep going young fella your smashing it already and love to see the the pride in your trade 👍🤞💪💪
Great video! Keep up the good work! Just one thing I noticed is the Trend router is exactly the same shape and look as my Ebaur one from Screwfix. I only ever use it for worktops and it does the job just fine just like you have said. 👍
Quality video mate. I look forward to seeing more.
Thank you buddy means a lot!
Great video you just tell it how it is with no BS so I've subscribed I've been working with wood for many years but you can always teach an old dog new tips lol
Just out my time never had the best apprenticeship but I'm going solo soon almost 30, seeing you act so confident has gave me confidence 🤣 top work young man
Good on you mate! I hope it all works out!
Hi . Thanks for making the video, very useful content. Im a self employed kitchen fitter in London and looking for extra work, where and what would you recommend me to do? Thanks in advance
use a biscuit cutting bit on the router and cut slots in-between the bolts, makes alignment easier and adds strength in the joint. But as you can see at 8:20, flat 90-degree corners don't last well, best to do a hockey stick joint and round the corners ever so slightly to avoid chips like that.
Nice one mate
Was just as good the second time round 😉 I would have done the same thing time to move on 👍🏻
Need a mains hoover as you need to pull lot of air for decent suction.
Highly recommend Bosch hoovers 36mm hose too. Can be cheap second hand.
The hoover I have is really good it’s very powerful and does a good job.
Just happened to stumble upon this video and see that routing jig for the second time. The first was in a video from ages ago and as I recall, also a UK based carpenter. What's this board called?
It seems to be uniquely used in UK to me but does seem like a nice jig to have for countertops that have a curved front profile.
good luck mate
I think I’ve fitted 5hat exact same sink and had the same issue with plumbing it in 😖. Mine also didn’t have pre-drilled tap holes but weak spots where you had to knock them out which was an absolute b*tch!
Loving your channel mate, whereabouts in the north are you, can5 place the accent?
Great video mate, Love the respect to the customers house it’s the little details that people remember, what bolts did you use for the worktop?
Hi pal! Thank you very much! I use the quick ‘zip’ ones where you just use a drill to tighten them
@@jaysonfaircloughjoinery8985 cheers mate, be adding some of them to the van look,
Mate! What is that estwing that you’re using? Looks like a beast!
Jay just subscribed good video.I am about to do worktops for the first time,am I right that you said square edge worktops do not need the mitre cut and you only have to tighten the tightening bolts.If you could clear this up for me that would be great thanks
That is 100% correct sir!
Good Vid. was that an open end on the gas feed? isolated or not that is a big no no. sack the gas fitter! Jus sayin
Curve the corners on the sink cut out adds strength is what I've always been taught. Nice video mate
Well, I’ve never heard that one before!
Yes stops cracking from the weak 90 degree corner, just stop your saw and finish with jigsaw or drill the corners out with 20 or 30mm drill bit
Always radius the corners not so crucial on solid wood but laminate it stops stress cracks at the corner most laminate is under tension so can crack
Who disconnected the hob and then piped up the new one?
Why you didn't chamfer/route the worktop's edge?
Do u need silicone with sink drain if u have rubber gasket.
Also lots of shelves and labels if tidying.
Well it’s just a double bubble really making sure there are no leaks
What's the Christmas sounding music you've used in this?
What Power tools did you use to screw in the bolts for under the top please
A Makita impact driver
I use a Henry turbo vacuum for my dust extraction.
Awesome bit of kit the old Henry and he always has a smile on his face.
@@tracer1127 old Henry is but the new one is a let down, motor is either too small or too slow, or both. Bosch is better
Hey mate, what saw blade did you use for cutting the worktop? Went through like butter. Same blade for cutting with grain?
I’m not sure the exact name but it’s from DEWALT. I think it had between 30-40 teeth and it was brand new!
@@jaysonfaircloughjoinery8985 thanks for the reply 👍🏼
Heres my question-
Why do kitchen fitters use worktop bolts and not just domino the edges with ratchett clamps to bring the pieces together?
But how are you going to do #festooltuesday now? 🤔 Subscribed mate
Buy an item from festool every Tuesday 🤣 I’ll be skint!
Have you ever considered using pocket holes to connect the two worktops?
No, I would imagine that the zip bolts are a lot stronger over long term
Bolts are far stronger and dont run the risk of you making a huge mess as some people use impact drivers in final finish to drive srews for some reason
About to cut a oak worktop to use as desktop. just wonder what number of teeth recommend for the saw blade?
I think you’ll br safe with something between 20-40
@@jaysonfaircloughjoinery8985 thanks appreciated
Where you from buddy?? I'm near Lanc
Mess=Apprentice! 👍🏼
Any thoughts on the trend router
It’s good for what I need it for which is worktops etc.
It’s called masons miter 🔥🔫
100% not a masons mitre, study stonemasonry and you would know why its not a masons mitre.
It is a masons mitre can be used in stone masonry or wood work
Fitted loads of " Oak " worktops but are oak stained beech .
Are you also a gas engineer?
I’m not a joiner but thought you were so supposed to put biscuits in for the joint plus as other have said a rounded corner adds a lot of strength less stress.
Yes put biscuits in when you can push the worktop up against the other worktop but in this case the walls were tiled and a wall at the end so you can’t get biscuits in, it’s difficult to explain but you have to be a carpenter/kitchen fitter to understand.
Hi! How much did you charge for this job?
I can’t disclose that information!😂😂
Is that a nice chip at 8.21 ?
Looks like it…. Don’t think so though
“Suckage value” brilliant phrase.
The question everyone is asking though, 6 1/2, or 7 1/4? 😜
Are those timberland trousers
Nooo they’re Englebert Straus

Regulation 8
Could you please state if you carried out the disconnection of the Gas to the hob ? or did a registered Gas Safe person did this part of the job.
The fact that the Gas Pipe was left 'Open Ended' while you carried out this work is against the CoP Gas Safety Regulations.
A Registered Gas Safe 'Competent Person' would know that and would Never leave a opened ended Gas Pipe unattended.
I witnessed no other person present during your joinery installation in this Kitchen.
To become a Competent Person costs a lot of time, skills, knowledge and major investment of money to tradesmen to attend courses.
If the owner of this property has obtained a Gas Safe Certificate , then that's good for the house insurance.
No Gas Safety certificate = No house insurance cover.
Makita saw with a dewalt blade… says a lot.
The justification for buying tools sounds very familiar 😂😅
Every time😂😂
I notice you had some slots ready to accept biscuits but you didn't use any, isn't this unwise?
7.27 that chip would do my head in
You do realise you need a gas engineer to disconnect and especially reconnect the gas hob don.t you?
COME BACK Come Back come back
Очень жаль, что мы больше не можем доверять новостям. Раньше мы могли доверять СМИ в том, что они дают нам точное представление о том, что происходит в мире, но теперь кажется, что все так или иначе субъективно. Нам нужно более критично относиться к новостям, которые мы смотрим и читаем, и убедиться, что мы получаем информацию из разных источников.
All that money spent on kit to do these sorts of jobs, surely you could save your fingers and buy a paint brush for sealing end grains!
Ay that’s a good point that!😂
Stop it with the Christmas music
