Live edge Problems Continued...We make every mistake possible while installing our Live edge project

What happens here

Measure the existing countertops to ensure the new live edge pieces fit correctly, especially for the 45-degree corner cut. It is crucial to measure from the back edge of the countertop, which typically remains true and flush with the wall, rather than the front live edge, which can vary. This precision ensures accurate cuts and minimizes fitting issues.

Goal: Accurately measure and dry fit the live edge countertops for correct placement

Tools and materials

  • Tape Measure — Accurate measurement of countertop dimensions

What they say

good you want it to look. Yeah. Okay. Frankie's measuring the cut for the 45 that goes in the corner of the kitchen. So, this is where the existing countertop lays in. And how he measures it is he goes from the end to the farthest 45 to the farthest 45. So if we look at which I would do the front but we got that live we can't you know. Okay. So with a live edge we want to make this point you can't use the front because the front moves back and forth in and out and if you measure with that it's going to give throw off your measurements. Isn't that right Gracie? Right. She knows that. So, we're using the the back because the back stays true, right Frankie? Yep. So, the back is we cut the back straight and flush. That gives us our back measurement and that's where we're going to cut off from.
