What happens here

The composite boards, now with pre-drilled pocket holes, are aligned and clamped together. Pocket screws are driven through the holes to securely join the boards, creating a solid bar top unit. This unit is then carefully placed onto pre-installed hidden countertop brackets, which were recessed into the deck surface. The edges of the bar top are miter-folded (using a V-groove router bit, PVC glue, and activator spray) to provide a clean, continuous appearance that conceals the brackets and any exposed edges, giving the bar top a built-in, polished finish.

Goal: Connect the composite boards with pocket screws to form the bar top, then install it onto hidden countertop brackets and miter-fold the edges for a finished look.

What they say

Hide

just messed up. You've got three boards. People said it couldn't be done, but you know what? I mean, nobody really said that, but you know, they're probably thinking it. Fits in there really nice and beautifully. Made it a little bit wider and a little bit deeper than it needs to be, so got a little bit of wiggle room when we get all these up, so we don't have to mess with it. It'll be nice, but nice consistent route. Should be moving. What did you say? Did you film that? Yeah. My eyes always do something crazy when I Got all five of these routed out and next step, it's time to do the V groove so for the fold. I don't know, I'm like 4 hours in on this top, so I really hope I don't mess this up. It was like glued on there. I probably loosened it up pretty good. All right. You got to get it all the way in? Nope, that was it. Just a tiny bit. It's like a thick boy. Oh.
