Abstract: An improved method of countertop manufacture having a laminate or veneer horizontal upper surface and a laminate or veneer vertical face with a corner element with an arcuate surface that smoothly fairs into both the upper surface and the face. The countertop is manufactured by first mounting a piece of solid surface to a backer and finishing to a desired arc. The solid surface is then bonded to the vertical laminate surface and substrate to create a joined edge piece. The joined edge piece is finished to form a flat base. The finished edge piece with an arcuate corner element is then bonded to the horizontal surface to form a countertop with a rounded corner joining the vertical laminate surface and horizontal upper surface.

Abstract: A clamping jig particularly adapted for use with elongate work pieces. The jig has an elongate work face, a work stop abutment the length of the work face, a plurality of toggle clamps affixed to the work face. One or more elongate or linear work pieces to be worked are positioned on the work face and held in place by the work stop abutment. The plurality of toggle clamps may be used to either hold the work piece in place or hold one or more additional work pieces to the first work piece. The work face or faces are rotatable around the elongate axis. Each toggle clamp has a toggle clamp arm with which the toggle clamp is set. On rotation of the work face, an actuating bar engages the toggle clamp arms to release the toggle clamps for removal of the work piece.
