Handyman and “Countertop Guy” Douglas Smith teaches viewers how to build countertops that look like a million bucks in this step-by-step do-it-yourself program covering two approaches: 1) the “postform” countertop, which is nearly complete, and includes a backsplash from the factory, and 2) the square-edge custom countertop, which requires the builder to construct each component, starting off with raw particleboard. In the prep sections, Smith explains how to select the proper tools for the job, cut the laminate pieces without chipping them, and glue sections together to create an almost seamless appearance, while in the installation sections, he shares tips on squaring countertops and solving problems related to limited construction space. A solid home improvement program, this is recommended. Aud: P. (C. Block)
