Things You'll Need:
- Masking tape
- Pencil
- Paper
- Scissors
- Saber saw
- Plywood sheet
- Saw horses
- C-clamps
-
Step 1
Measure the width and length of the countertop and then place a sufficient number of paper sheets or cardboard over the top of the counter.
-
Step 2
Place strips of masking tape where the sheets of paper overlap to connect the sheets together.
-
Step 3
Draw a line on the underside of the paper along the edge of the countertop with a pencil. This will outline the shape of the countertop on the paper.
-
Step 4
Take the paper outline off of the countertop and move it to a flat surface, such as a piece of plywood placed on two saw horses.
-
Step 5
Cut along the pencil mark with a pair of scissors to create a template of the countertop.
-
Step 6
Place a sheet of laminate, face down, on the plywood.
-
Step 7
Place the paper template on top of the sheet of laminate and secure it using small pieces of masking tape.
-
Step 8
Trace around the template to draw a line representing the round shape or curves on the sheet of laminate.
-
Step 9
Secure the sheet of laminate to the plywood using c-clamps. Place a c-clamp on each side of the sheet of laminate.
-
Step 10
Cut along the pencil mark you drew on the sheet of laminate with a saber saw. A saber saw will allow you to cut a round or curved shape in the laminate.
-
Step 11
Release the c-clamps and set the piece of cut laminate on the countertop to confirm the fit.
