Basic Wood Veneer Lesson - Peel and Stick Veneer - Veneer With Contact Cement

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Here’s an easy woodworking project that will teach you how to work with wood veneer. In this video I’ll make two wastepaper baskets, one will be veneered with pressure sensitive veneer and the other using contact cement. This is a great skill building project that will result in a useful piece of furniture for your home. Thanks for watching Jon Furniture project plans jonpeters.com/ Available artwork on my site jonpeters.com/my-artwork/

You can tell the higher level of quality of each piece that Jon makes because each step is deliberate, smooth, and precise. In a couple hundred years, the Antiques Road Show will be appraising his work with stories about how his trash cans were found in palaces, and his artwork was swiped from museums.

That's a good one! And it's good to know several hundred years won't kill PBS. 😇

Great project awesome teacher. Thanks

[@gingercontreras8511]

This is the best veneering tutorial I have seen! Easy to follow and straight to the point. Thank you

[@0x0oxo]

Great little video. I landed here when trying to find out about sticky back wood veneer. Beautifully explained step by step. I particularly liked the little helpers you've made in your workshop to make life that bit easier. Super finish on both boxes. Big thanks. BB (UK)

Thank you! I appreciate it

Thank you Jon, sound like a nice week end project to have.

Appreciate the veneering tips Jon......thank you! The waste baskets turned out really nice!!!

Great job on the wooden baskets Jon! the veneering looks great as well :) Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP

Fantastic!

Nice project Jon and the white paint does make it pop

looks like 3/4 inch to me :) beautiful work as usual

Excelente 👍🏼

[@williamellis8993]

Nice, Jon. I recognize the paint brush from one of your shorts. Bill

[@umakemesick2]

Seems like both are a good option when considering application techniques. In your previous veneer videos it seemed intimidating to me, but this one makes it look approachable for me. Thanks!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! Glad to hear it

5:10 if you're looking for veneer tips specifically

[@ChuckP25.]

Hey Jon - Great work. Thumbs up for sure. Thanks for the tips and info. Greetings from St. Pete Beach.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Chuck! Enjoy…sounds nice!

[@randystyborski5983]

Really nice video Jon. Surprised to see you not cover the edge of the plywood first. Your other videos show you using Bondo...which has been a great trip for me.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

I have a chip separator with similarly sized boxes I built to collect and make dumping it out easy. I wish I had thought to make a quick routing guide for my handles. Rounded corners look great and easier. I find it difficult getting a perfect half circle and getting them perfect without a bump in the transition from straight to circle.

[@michaelegarnerwolfgange5656]

Nice 👍

[@johnnyvsx]

Hi Jon, nice step-by-step video. I'm curious if you've ever used paperbacked veneer. I've never tried any veneers and am curious if the different types are for different applications somehow.

[@dpmeyer4867]

thanks

[@CogentConsult]

I think half-inch ply is a bit overkill for such a small project. I’d have made them out of 3/8 inch ply to make those wastebaskets lighter. I would’ve cut rabbets to give the joinery more surface area. I also would’ve rounded over the top edges to make them more durable. Nice job on painting the inside white.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I agree about the 3/8 but I had 1/2 … I think both sizes would look good

[@jesswu0213]

Any link for the shallow bottom foot spacer thing ??? 10:13

[@jacobkomnath7961]

I've tried the peal and stick stuff. I'm not the biggest fan. I've found that it seems to really like to expand with the humidity

[@FyrFytr998]

Agreed. Anything with a veneer that was in the bathroom soon had the veneer peeling off. Gonna stick with natural hardwood when I remodel from here on out.

[@proudcanadianeh4663]

Thank you! Just beginning in my wood working journey. When you have straigt edges like that, I assume just wood glue is not enough? Meaning you also have to use a think ail cut to connect the pieces. What were you using? I am looking for a thin nail gun. Thanks.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, it’s. 18 gage nail gun.

[@skokenos]

Did you make a video on your combination saw table? I'd like to build something similar and im curious how you built yours.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I do have a video on my channel titled two table saws in the shop… it’s a few years old

[@skokenos]

@@JonPetersArtHome I was referring to the miter saw table. But my morning brain wasnt working at the time. Lol

[@honestnewsnet]

Can beeswax paste be used on wood veneer to protect it from water?

[@johnsrabe]

Assuming you veneer the sides first so the (tiny) edge doesn’t show from the front?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Yes that’s the idea but the seem is almost unnoticeable anyway

[@johnjensen8560]

Could you please explain your reasoning behind brad nailer orientation making a difference with blowout? In my experience grain running in an angle versus vertical grain makes blowout much more probable but I don’t understand your reasoning here. Thanks in advance.

[@rd-ch1on]

It's because of the way the ends of the brads are manufactured. Look carefully at the tips of the brads in a clip and you can see how they are cut and angled , sometimes slightly uneven , the angle cuts of the tips can often be off center. When fired from the nail gun the brads tend to want to skew to the right or left not front to back because of the off center tips. Holding the gun in the orientation he showed means the nails will be angling in the length of the plywood. If he held the gun 90 degrees to the way he demonstrated the nails could potentially blow out through the 3/4 sides. A good tip from John. No pun intended

[@johnjensen8560]

@@rd-ch1on Thank you. That makes sense. Never thought of that. That’s why I like working with different people. Over the years I’ve found that every time you work with someone new, you will invariably learn something new from them. John Jensen from British Columbia

@@philshock3805 Thank You Phil! Very educational! I started into carpentry in 1980 and I have done a lot of finishing work but until now I never really understood the main reason for Brad nail blowout. This just emphasizes the importance of learning from others. Thanks again! John Jensen

Would using sanding sealer suffice to prep the surface of MDF when using the PSA backed veneer?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Yeah should be fine as long as you get a nice smooth dust, free surface

[@keith7630]

@@JonPetersArtHome Thanks, Jon, for the response. I appreciate it. That’ll be my approach for my first time working with veneer.

[@arth.4196]

Would Wax Paper work also, to lay the stick on veneer.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

The wax might cause and adhesion problem 🤷‍♂️

[@JVZBrowser]

The question is which method is better in terms of quality and durability. I would be afraid that the psa would come off at some point

[@widodoveneer1113]

Bagus

[@lucaspatterson]

Hey Jon! would you say the PSA veneer is as durable as paper-backed veneer with contact cement?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

It does seem about the same, but I the using contact cement is a little easier to work with.

[@angrytim]

what is the plastic your using in-between the veneer and the wood that is able to un-stick so easily?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

@@angrytim it’s just 6 mil plastic drop cloth

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Just plastic drop cloth

[@phatman1759]

where did you purchase the Peel and Stick Veneer?

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Yo Wifey, I made you a nice waste bin for your office. But.... please don't put any trash in them because they're so awesome looking that they're just for show!!! Million dollar question Jon, you like the peel 7 stick or contact cement veneer better? Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Lol 😂 thanks Mike! Maybe the contact cement… just a little bit more.
