You need to make the cut from the bottom side. Hey Will, the sink cut out is generally done before the top is installed. You need to make the cut from the bottom side.

I cannot get the saw close enough to the back edge of the top to make the cut out complete. I am using a jig saw. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The sink is 22x33 the same diamensions as our other sink, however, it is slightly shaped different in the corners exposing the open hole cuts on the corners. How do we fill in these corners so the gaps don't show? We thought of wood putty and painting it but I am concerned with the daily cleaning around the sink. Please help us with our "holy" prayers.
