Got the heavy wooden countertop installed in the a/v room. Weeks ago I created a template out of a scrap door that was just a little bit smaller than the opening. I then put scraps of plywood on either side, then scribed the contours of the wall using the
pencil inside a washer technique to do so. Then, sanding down the scraps to the scribed lines and refitting them on either side of the door and screwing them into place. This created an exact template of the wall space. Luckily the back wall was straight, so I didn't have to scribe it. I then clamped the template on the wooden countertop and tried to use a router to cut away the excess. As the countertop is oak... it didn't work well at all. After that, a sander took off the rest.
