Always a pleasure to watch Ana share her gifts with others.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@itsmelaura1533]

I don't know how anyone who has watched your videos hasn't subscribed. Your videos are so helpful plus FREE plans! I have one of your books and several of your projects in my home and my family's homes because your plans make great gifts!! I love that you share your knowledge and I love your videos! Oh, and I also get your emails! Thank you for being such a valuable source for woodworking plans and skills!

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

You have a smart and loving son. Tell him he is right, and that we love and appreciate everything you do for us.

[@fruitfullspirit]

Thank you so much for sharing! I'm sold! Also, including a visual of a previous build, sealed the deal. Showing the wear and tear of a previous build enabled us to truly see the LONGTIME benefits of using an edge band. Just because we do DIYs does not mean that we sacrifice durability and professional quality of our creations. Keep up the good work & thank you for sharing your process with us.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

My pleasure!

[@ruthf6035]

Aways enjoy watching you. I don't remember if you did a separate video on it, but my favorite of your projects was your daughter's free standing closet wall.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear. We are still using (and loving) that project/design!

[@EmanuelQ3]

That's awesome that the edge banding has held up so well on a high use kid's item. Impressive, thank you for sharing.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you! Honestly we’ve been waiting to see if our methods are holding up, so that’s why it’s taken so long to get a video tutorial out.

[@susiefox2475]

Thank you, Ana, for sharing your talents! Your technics have helped many projects turn out great! Blessings🕊☺️

[@HolgerJakobs]

Edge banding is even more important with wood chip boards, because the edges are very ugly compared to plywood. Very good video!

[@screamengine]

Nice! I can think of many applications for this. I dig your channel and presentation style!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you very much!

[@erickdanielsson6710]

Thanks! Another great tip from you!

[@wyattselleck7236]

Umm… What was the heat setting on your iron or did I miss that part?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Sorry I didn’t add this to the video. I use the hottest setting

[@mitzibud6908]

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

[@RickNance]

why won't any of the search engines tell me how to smooth and seal my plywood edges. It only tells me how to cover them.

[@donnajones1348]

Thank you. I have been waiting a while to finish mine. All the info was too confusing but I love your simple straight forward video. Fyi I have a Cricut mini press that works perfectly for the trim ironing.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@noahb.7838]

You are the best.

Love that your son told you to remind everyone to subscribe. So cute! I've been subscribed a long time. If I could, I'd subscribe again for him!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

awe, thanks!

[@dusbus2384]

For some reason I always gouge the plywood when I use my trimmer. Maybe it's the tool I have. I'm going to try the one you linked. Fastcap has good stuff

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Maybe try the fastcap tool, or maybe sharper blades? Also the sanding really helps. Another tip is to run the hot iron at an angle down the edges, it will crease the edges in preparation for the trimming.

[@graciel3725]

Thanks Ana!

[@37claudia.15]

Thank you!

[@guifre6162]

Merci beaucoup from France.

[@donnajones1348]

Thank you. I used this on my kitchen bases and have not trimmed yet

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

Hey there Ana, good to see you tonight, oops…. This a,m.

[@JonathonYoppini]

Hello, thank you for all your videos. I went to Shelf Help to place an order and saw that you all were no longer shipping. Are you planning on bringing this awesome service back? Thank you again

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

I'm sorry, shipping was getting too expensive. :(We do still offer the free design tool and many times lumber yards will rip to your dimensions. www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/seasonal-and-holidays/plans-and-templates-using-ana-whites-free-furniture

[@name.terrie]

You're awesome!!! Thanks heaps for sharing this!!!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@elained9591]

I’m getting ready to edge band some Russian Baltic Birch for the first time. Your video was extremely helpful. I don’t have a flush cutter, what would you recommend? Tell your son Aye, Aye!😂

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you! Flush cutter and all other items linked in this post www.ana-white.com/blog/2024/04/how-finish-plywood-edges-edge-banding

Thanks for sharing another helpful Video. Always a pleasure to “Like” and I’m already subscribed. So hope that helps

[@wendyolgine6912]

Always informative. May I ask if your Facebook reels have been hacked recently. I'm afraid to go to them because the pic on the reel does not look like furniture. Actually looks disturbing.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you for letting us know, you are right, our Facebook page has been hacked. We are trying to recover it, but no success yet

[@arnaldocuevas68]

For example, If you are going to build an entertainment center, do you cut every piece of plywood and finish the edges at that time or do you do it after everything has been installed?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

I finish the pieces before I build because it is too hard to trim edges after the project is assembled

[@msmonet]

I so hope you can get rid of hacker that is creating posts on your Facebook. Good Luck, Ana.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you, we are getting closer to resolving the issue!

[@yvonnemcmanis8426]

I was looking for updates on FB, looks like all the posts about being hacked have disappeared. How will we know if you have to create a new page?

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

We are still working on regaining control, making progress...

[@Robinw1977]

Thanks for the great video. Word of advice, maybe lower the volume of the music. It was distracting and made it hard to hear you.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Noted!

[@gigisoutherngarden]

Is there anything we can do to help you get your Facebook page back? I've tried to report it but it doesn't seem to fit any of the choices they offer. It has to be so frustrating. 😢

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you for your offer of help! Unfortunately there’s not much you can do with Facebook, we have filed reports and are awaiting responses. What does help is subscribing to our newsletter, so if/when social channels fail, we have a means of distributing new content out.

[@gigisoutherngarden]

@AnaWhiteDIY I would love to subscribe to the newsletter, just tell me how. 😉👍

[@Blazer19742002]

Hi Anna. Not sure if you're aware but your Facebook has been hacked again. Not sure what they stand to gain from doing something like that but just thought I'd let you know. 😎

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Yes, thank you! We are still working on regaining control...

[@rmdphotographicarts986]

Used edge banding for years & never bothered with an iron. I use the adhesive backed and it holds up fine when applied properly. Just buy a quality product.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great to hear!

[@purplecabbage825]

I am trying to find a way to message you, but alas I am old and can’t make connections. 🤣 I think your Facebook page may have been compromised. There is someone posting weird content and it’s nothing to do with diy building. The latest one is a lady with a slug or something hanging off her nose. There was something earlier today, but I didn’t look close enough. Not sure if you will get this quickly enough, but wanted to try and help.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you, you are correct, our Facebook page has been stolen and we were deleted as admins. We are trying hard to fix. So sorry for any offensive content that is being published without our consent or control.

Again with the pocket holes

[@MegnRoz]

Ana I think your Facebook got hacked. It has a weird story on it that looks like major phishing!

[@MegnRoz]

Ignore my profile picture lol My son uses it for his channel

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

It got hacked yesterday, so frustrating. We are working on fixing.

So sorry!! What a nightmare for you!

Ana, I think your Facebook account has been hacked
