Re: Scribing Worktop support panel
Stand the panel in position as close as you can get it, level it and plumb it.
Hold it there with a couple of clamps if necessary. Measure how much it needs to drop and mark that on the bottom, same procedure at the back. So, if it needs to drop 5 mm, find (or make) a scrap of timber that's 5mm thick and run that along the floor next to the panel with a sharp pencil hard on top marking the panel. Seal the cut edge with silicone before installing.
The cheating way is to cut 10* mm off (*depends on each individual circumstance) and put a screw two screws in the bottom to lift it level.

One day it will all be firewood.
