I was shown that trick a coule of decades ago, after using other random sticks and paper. I still have the same set of Venetian blind slats that I found at the dump way back then. They have been used dozens of times over the years, without fail. Just make sure they are wiped clean of dust and junk before use.

When scoring the laminate, put the straight edge on the side you want to save and cut with the waste end exposed, that way no matter if you miss or not, you wont scratch the side you want to keep.

Jason, great and informative video. Scoring the laminate before you chamfer is unnecessary. Just hit it with a flush cut bit w/bearing, then the chamfer. Also you can totally run the router in a normal direction (against the rotation for better control) without worrying about any chip out. I worked in a laminate shop for almost 8 years and layed thousands of linear feet of laminate, never had an edge chip out with a flush cut or running against the rotation of the motor on a router. Also, LOVE your "Harbor Freight" table saw!

Great job showing the basics of laminate installation. There are many ways to do this, and lots of tips and tricks. I switched to using water based contact cement a long time ago. 3M makes one that is top notch. Very little odor, and very strong. I did my kitchen counters in 2007, and they still look good as new. I have done several workshop surfaces as well, with zero long term issues. I even did a bunch of small tops in a mobile coffee shop/school bus. All in bright yellow, and all of it survived heavy daily abuse. One more thing, I always use white or yellow for workshop surfaces (outfeed tables, extension wings, etc.). You can write notes on them while working, and easily wipe them off later. I use the scraps to make note pads that glue to the side of my tape measures, too.

Helpful and entertaining, as usual. A couple of additional points: Use the straight edge to protect your 'good' material - at 18:14 for example it is better to run the cutting tool on the waste side of the straight edge. Cut edges of laminate are sharp! Handle it with care. You can draw on the laminate with a medium pencil, for example for laying out items with non-standard angles. A pencil eraser works fine to remove the markings.

Love the content bro! Gotta give you 2 out of 5 stars on laminate though. I'm a production carpenter and there's no time for the extra care and effort, and especially time, you put into the laminated tops. What you really want to do is cut the laminate an inch or more longer on all sides and forget the cheat sticks on a top that small. Grab it, bend it, stick your long edge and roll it on by hand. Also, a 1/4" flush trim bit, cheating your fence/deck of your router up off the surface a bit, will provide a cut you can file back. That is, to laminated banding. Even if you have a hardwood band that you use a chamfer or roundover or whatever bit, it needs filing or back bevel sanding. Hope I can help you in return. I've learned a thing or two watching your vids. Thanks bro.

But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

I've had it crack by rolling too close to the edge, so what I do now is apply it as you did with sticks, but instead of using the roller as I go along, I use hand pressure to make sure it's adhered well, trim the overhang, then hit it with the roller. Seriously, laminate is amazing in the workshop.

Pro tip: when using a nailer, make sure the hand holding your workpiece is about 50% farther away from the nail gun's tip than the length of the nail, in ANY direction. Don't count on the nail going in the direction you aimed. You'll be very thankful when that inevitable day comes that the nail ricochets off of a hidden knot or other obstruction and shoots out sideways instead. Think it won't happen? You _may_ be right, but given enough time, the probability of all possibilities approaches one. Maybe this safety step is actually being followed in the video, but it's hard to tell. The "fingers away just before firing" technique shown on the very last shot is a good idea too, especially if you really feel the need to get a very close touch-fit.
@BobboMax13 жыл бұрын
Also, look at the stick of nails and the way the tips are tapered- they form a ridge that runs the length of the stick. If you hold the nailer parallel to the grain and the taper hits something that deflects it (like a hard growth ring in the wood), it will curve, usually up into your hand. BUT, if you hold the nailer perpendicular to the grain (and perpendicular to the top surface in this video) it will deflect sideways, which is just fine- maybe even holds a little better.

Happened to me once before when I was pinning the corner of a floating floor. Nail ricocheted off of a knot in the plywood underneath, funny thing is it jumped out a lot further than I thought it would. My thumb was at least 3 in away and I was using a 2-inch Brad nail. Yet somehow it went in and shot back out at an angle came out of the floor and straight through the tip of my thumb entering the bottom curling around the bone and coming out the top just behind my cuticle. Now yeah I'm a man so I just grabbed some pliers pulled it out duct taped it and went back to work. But it hurt like the bejesus pulling that thing out and it wasn't very pleasant the rest of the day.
