Now, is that that a bit of nifty handsaw cutting or wot?? :-)

What was the first cut done with causing those chips in the laminate?



Handheld circular saw - just to take the (not inconsiderable) weight of the
offcut out of the equation.

The little nick in this shot:

....was a little test cut to *prove* the handsaw would not chip the surface
laminate.

These worktops (3050mm long and 40mm thick) weigh a *ton* - hence one cut
being done outdoors and one indoors to reduce potentially disastrous
manoeuvering!!
