Thanks. Will do, going to measure the screws to be sure, go 1" from the edge. Going to have to look up this painters tape technique, good idea

Thanks. I did think about that for the screws, maybe 3/4 inch? Definitely going to grab choices and measure to be sure.
No it's real wood, home depot not IKEA.

In terms of my edge question or just in general? The plates will extend past that 1 inch mark, but not off the edge by the layout

Did you have any cracking or support issues on the edge? I found someone saying 2", does feel a bit excessive, 1" looks safe with 5/8 screws much further down the board

May I ask you another dumb question, you sound like you know your stuff!
Every hardwax oil how to says to sand using 150-220, is there any benefit or downside to sanding smoother? 300, 500, 600?
