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
i havnt actually unpacked them yet.
but from what i remember of them in the shop them are basicially loads of rectangles put together.

they are about 600 quid each to trade so im guessing they are pretty decent.
i didnt pay that much though
hope it all goes ok for you then mate
