    Excellent - I now have another Christmas present request - "darling, maybe you could get me a chainsaw - you know we need one to do the kitchen benchtops right?"

    Thank you all for your suggestions - I'll let you know how it goes.

    You are not really going to buy a chain saw for the job are you?

    I hate this new fangled technology! Sarcasm (which is my default position) is a little difficult to detect when in written form...

    No - I will not be endeavouring to do the cutouts with a chainsaw - but I appreciate your concern

    It would be a fun conversation though...

    I have done several and just use a keyhole saw for the curves, and a panel saw for the straight edges. Cut from the laminex side, the saw will blunt fairly rapidly, but it's a simple job.

    The same can be said for Wongo.
