To say he was pissed is an understatement.

ohhhhhhh ouch.
thats gotta sting someones wallet. :oops:
have to agree tho, i would have got the client to upgrade to a new 980mm sink!! :wink: :wink:

the jig is a screwfix one as mentioned, 1000mm. had it about 6 years now and its still great, cost me about £200 back then, notice they only do a trend jig at 1000mm now for £270.

thanks for all the great comments tho guys.

We tried that tack, only problem was the sink is a white ceramic 1 and half bowl job, and they don't do them any bigger!. New worktop time.
Just glad it wasn't me
