How to hack a flat front IKEA corner sink

We built an IKEA kitchen corner base cabinet to accommodate a regular corner sink instead of that horrible “bat-wing” sink they sell.

Our tiny kitchen using the IKEA corner sink hack came out beautiful with our 24 inch wide appliances. (Dishwasher is 18 inch). My sink is deep, I can set my stock pot in and with it being an under-mount, I easily wipe crumbs off the counter. My drawers light up too!

I thought folks would appreciate having some step-by-step instructions on how to create a normal corner sink install using IKEA cabinetry. We LOVE ours!

My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way.
