Maybe your son knows what blade size is good for the JigSaw so it doesn't splinter the formica or wood in a typical old kitchen counter?
We are going to put 4 small pieces of wood that are attached with screws and are turnable at the edge of the opening under the table top. When you want the flat table, turn the wood and put the cut out piece back in. Do this before you put the shelf on (we didn't and now either have to take it apart or do circus contortions to get in there. I'll ask him about the blade size next time I see him. I let him look at at the responses we've gotten to his work. It really pleased him that so many people admired his work. Thanks.
