What happens here

Begin by placing the main piece of composite decking that will form the corner onto a stable work surface, such as a workbench or sawhorse. Next, take two additional pieces of composite decking and position them on either side of the main piece. These will serve as a guide jig for the router. Use a cordless drill and wood screws to temporarily secure these guide pieces to the underlying work surface, ensuring they are parallel and firmly hold the main decking piece in place.

Goal: Prepare the composite decking for V-groove routing by securing it with a guide jig.
