and worktop bolts underneath them??

or are these done in different ways.

cheers guys

Yep they are just done with a jig and router also you could use a Biscuit Jointer aswell on them to keep them lined up (if you have access to one) then seal the joints.

When you say solid wood top do you mean the hundreds of rectangles glued together? If so just need to make sure that they are sanded flat when done and sealed asap, if not the buggers move and you dont get a totally flat surface my workmate has had to seal his "solid wood" worktop 5 times as they keep moving
