hi guys~ Its been a while i'd been into the adventure of cutting the sink hole.
Appreciated everyone's opinions and assists especially KerjaKayu who offer helps voluntary.
After watched numerous times of Youtube tutorials and failed to get a professional to do the job (even thought i want to pay them), i'd decided to put my own hands on it.
This is the result (The corners will be sand into rounded)
Before i started i'd decided to use Router for this job, but somehow im ended up with Jigsaw which was a neighbour.
Then i went back to Router well i must said its much much more safer but it took some time to cut thru that thick 3.8cm solid wood.
But the end result ... worth every penny i spent (yes i'd spent around RM500 on tools just to cut this bloody sink hole).
Its my genuine pleasure to assists if anyone who like to do the same thing, im more then happy to share my experience. But i will be very busy rushing my house so i might not able to reply instantly.
Hope everyone enjoy.
Oh ya~ Things you need to know about Ikea Butcher Block (Btw they'd discontinued Numerar solid wood)
1) Must lay flat on flat surface, or at least supported with chairs, alot of it...flat
2) Get a Howard's Butcher Block Mineral Oil (or any others oil etc Tung Oil) and oil it, 3-5 times and let it soaked up atleast 24 hours each time. Still, must lay flat.
3) Must consider the gap between the user and the sink, as you can see mine one the gap are huge because i'd pushed the sink all the way up against the wall and seat on the cabinet support beam. I'd never think of this problem but luckily not that far untill can't utilise the sink.
