Excellent video, articulate, concise and to the point, not the usual bloated commentary and n-part videos found on youtube. Many thanks.

[@PaskMakes]

Nice work Cris! I've never worked with wood veneers but you made it look easy if I ever need to! :)

[@martijnfransen9933]

nice result! looking forward to your next vid.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thank you my friend!

[@BluuurghAg9]

The way you cleared the edge, you could also use a router if the pieces align perfectand you can keep them steady. I used to work with a veneer saw and basically that was it: First you saw the pieces a few mm bigger than what you want them to be, than you use a routerbit to clear the edges. And somebody also mentioned this, it's probably best to veneer both sides in case of bending. But all in all it looks good! Looking forward to the next video!

[@mosmicke]

Amazing result for being the first try! True talent indeed!

[@mick7346]

You did such a good job!!!

[@rvlalves1191]

Get Hands Dirty yes very nice work! Where did you purchase the veneer strips?

[@SebastiaanMollema]

This is inspiring! Nice made panels in the ending shots! Noe i want to try out vineering wood aswell!

[@mohammedsadiq2774]

Nice touch Well done 👍

[@Bobby-bo3zc]

Thanks for sharing. When your kitchen project is finished... I will wait for a cooking video. 👍

[@jamesnelson6884]

looks great!

[@Castle6064]

Nice work. Just some advice, to cut veneer with the grain is not hard. Pass the cutting knife using the ruler in very light passes just hard enough to scratch the surface going deeper with each pass. this creates a groove. After 3 -4 light passes the knife will then cut straight following the groove and not the grain. Also when veneering real wood , ply and to be safe mdf especially when the substrate is thin, you should veneer both sides to prevent the board from warping. this is why plywood always comes with an uneven number of plys. The hidden side of the board can be veneered with the off cuts. This is also the way pre veneered boards are sold such as A/C ply. ie one good and one not so hot side. As I said this is Just advice not trolling

[@robfrost1]

or use a veneer saw

[@Irwhodunit]

Form the groove, then cut the grove, not the grain. That's good advice that would have saved a lot of veneers had I read it sooner. Sandpaper glued to the bottom of the metal cutting edge is another good tip I picked up today.

[@apriljohnson421]

Wow, this is hard work!

[@cyriljonas997]

Excellent because you make it look so easy. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏

[@christianodeholm]

Your just amazing! I love to watch your skills. I've followed your channel almost from the beginning. Keep on the good work.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Hey thanks Christian!

[@mversantvoort]

Looks great!

[@MarceloJoseBanfi]

Muy buen trabajo!

[@PatCavanaugh1]

Nice grain continuity between the sections. Great job

[@videotheclips]

Wow, excellent work

[@holzhandwerk_ak]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing!

[@TwimWolfgang]

we want more!!! just great job!!!

[@GetHandsDirty]

More is coming!

[@bassface84]

this is the best i've seen on veneering...

[@fd4294]

AWESOME!!! Great job!!

[@MrVinther89]

You can put some doublesided tape on the underside of the ruler with a piece of sandpaper on it. That way the ruler wont move when cutting along the grain.

[@htyhkd]

welcome back

[@dday8321]

Pretty cool!! I have always been afraid of large "glue ups" with contact cement. Looks like you handled it just fine and the result looks awesome. Our big box stores often have oak and birch plywood , but its "face" is often scratched or has an ugly grain. This would be a way to solve that.....

[@tooljunkie555]

Looks good..veneers are tricky. A quicker/ easier way to cut a straight edge is the same process you did with the two pieces of plywood but instead of a sanding block, rip it on your table saw.:) I tried every which way possible too & someone told me about using the table saw and I got awesome results😁 it was so fast and easy. Just thought I'd pass that tip along to you since you'll be doing a lot of veneering.hope that helps u and anyone else in that same situation actually saw it in one of my videos last year. Look fwd to seeing ep16🍻✌ oh and I like the plywood with the rounded Edge to smooth it out instead of using a " Jroller" I got to try that thanks for the tip 👍👍

[@GetHandsDirty]

Hummm that's interesting. I will try that next time! Thanks for sharing :) About the block of wood vs jroller, I think you can apply much for pressure with the wood than the roller, since the force will be concentrated on a smaller radius on the sanded edge (slight round over and not a big like a router bit would do). I actually tried with a ink printing roller I have and felt I was applying more force with the block of plywood.

[@correia707]

You can also use a router bit directly on the finished plank

[@derschotte]

Great! One Little Tip. If you overlay the veneer on the long site and then cut them together off, the sites of the veneer will fit perfect!

[@lacadoramateur]

Excelente trabajo

[@adambassador7727]

THIS is what I wanted... a "how to" for people who do NOT have all the fancy equipment, a dedicated veneer cutting tool, vacuum sealer bag, etc. Nice explanation, and excellent way of de-mystifying the process. Thumbs up all the way! Your accent is cool, too! :)

[@JENNISWISS]

great job chris👍👍👍 very good content. thanke you🍀

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thankssss see you SOOOON :D

[@briangraezer3416]

Looks great

[@maximkozlov2739]

Yeeeeey, videos from you!

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Cool information about veneering...Thanks for sharing it

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks for stopping by my friend! See you soon :)

[@MrYessireebob]

Your videos are great :D

[@mariemeyer2885]

Nice work

[@ricardolucca8640]

Gostei da ideia do aplicador de cola que vc usou. Parece bem flexivel. Que tipo de material você usou nele?. Do you are portuguese or you are from other country and live in Porto city?

[@izaacmp]

Awesome work as always. Why did you decide to use contact adhesive instead of your regular wood glue / Titebond? Did it provide you with an advantage regarding the drying time? I totally understand why you weren’t able to get veneer-specific glues.

[@stuspawton]

It will be pretty good to see this when its finished. It looks cracking already.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks man :D

[@monica-dt6yy]

you literaLly saved my life! THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU!

[@junangeles]

Nice work thanks for sharing this. Question: What would you do if the bottom edge has bubbled due to steam exposure? Can it be flattened back to shape? how? thanks

[@mambojambostudio]

you're freaking cool and inspiring.

[@tim_arterbury]

So cool!

[@supercheekykiwi]

Fantastic effort. Glad I watched...... but I am pretty sure that I won't ever give this a go. I'm bound to stuff it up.

[@storiedenous]

OMG, you make a plywood sandwich, and than you sanding the edge of the veneer. I like this part. My problem has solved!

[@dismasmunishi5572]

I have to say I Lov u.its your friend from tanzania.You made nice work Queen.Welcome tz

[@correia707]

Cristiana, onde conseguiste o laminado? Procurei em algumas casas (tipo Aki e etc) mas não encontro... Em Viseu não ha muitas casas especializadas nesta matéria :(

[@FlorencePiPropsandDolls]

Que trabalhão!!

[@carnaubawachs]

you can also sandwich the veneer and then use a handplane to get a perfect edge. At least thats the way we learn to to it here in germany. Keep up the good work, i really enjoy your videos! :)

[@carnaubawachs]

btw did you veneer both sides of the plywood? I think otherwise it will eventually bend because of the different surface tension on both sides...

[@GetHandsDirty]

That's a nice idea as well. No, I just veneered one side. It seems fine so far and most of the boards were veneered in June. I just had a chance to continue the project now in August but the ones I veneered back then are straight so do the new ones. I understand your worry, but that doesn't seem to be a problem in this case. Maybe because the plywood is good quality and is quite thick? And contact glue doesn't have water like PVA glue would. I don't know.

[@carnaubawachs]

Yes i guess it could be because of the glue, as well as the quality plywood (in this case multiplex). When you use normal wood glue the veneer expands because it gets wet. After it is glued to the plywood it will dry and then the veneer contracts. Thats why the plywood can bend when it is veneered only at one side. Bothsided it will "equalize" the effect. At least that would be my theory. ps.: sorry for my unfluid english, i'm not that used to speak and write it...

[@martynaogonowska4505]

Hi, thanks for sharing, I wasn't sure if I can make it myself, now I know. Can you tell me please what thickness of veneer have you used for cabinets please? would you think that will do for worktop as well?

[@MichaelKieweg]

Nicely done! I was quite lucky cutting veneer with a rolling knife (?). That things, that look like pizzacutters... As long as you keep up pressure´, the blade does not wander around.

[@aqilaizz2211]

Good job....

[@zainabhadims]

Nice job 😍😚

[@nessammelo18]

Amazing! 😍

[@Khether0001]

pretty cool

[@mattsacer335]

So cool

[@rond5936]

Thanks so much

[@domdraper3221]

Hey nice video. How do you tidy the edges? Like if I do the sides as well?

[@jadelee6555]

Could you do a demo on how to use lacquer for table tops and other wood furniture?

[@MCsCreations]

It's going to be really beautiful from what I see. :)

[@SuperPicasso05]

what is the thickness of the veneer? i want to print some of my art photos on it before veneering :)
