Hi
We're adding a breakfast bar to our kitchen and I need to find the best way of joining the new worktop to the existing piece. The existing piece is a square end with little overhang at the end of the run of base level cupboards. It's also quite a long piece with a cutout for the gas hob.
Some friends explained that I could use a worktop jog and router but I don't see how it will be possible. In any case, that would involve having to remove the worktop in order to cut out slots for the fixing bolts. I assume because they haven't seen the current worktop that their advice was based on assumptions which are probably incorrect.
Here's a couple of photos to help explain:
If you can imagine that the breakfast bar will come from the wall and out into the kitchen floor area in the same direction that the drawers will open.
I'm thinking our easiest option is to just use a joining strip, something like this:
