Interesting inside edge banding | Revealed

[@jamesmoore1532]

Your guy deserves a bonus on this one.

[@extremewoodworker]

Kudo's to Ian for a great solution to a difficult problem. Tedious work for sure. I also like how you guys integrated the Mini-press into your miter saw station. Steve

[@112wade]

Better Ian than me. Gives new meaning to the word "tedious."

[@brianpeterson3752]

My god. You dudes are the real deal

[@wearedahlin7103]

If your clients are like mine they then say “these are amazing I would like 6 more for my office” 😂 good execution on this project!

[@briand.wright4333]

Awesome! I love the pattern!

[@jamesmills6766]

Great shout using curling tongs genius haha

What would the downside be to CNC cutting some slightly thicker (1/4 in perhaps) edge banding circles out of solid stock? Higher material cost of course, but I would imagine the labor would be sufficiently quicker to pay for that difference and then some? Could in theory also allow for some more textural details, if the architect was interested by letting the "edge banding" sit slightly proud of the panel surface or using complimentary woods.

[@kleinisfijn]

That would be my idea also. First cut oversized holes in the blank MDF sheet using the CNC and glue in solid walnut circles. Then laminate the top and bottom veneer and put it back on the CNC to cut the final result.

[@Chris_Moncada]

@@kleinisfijn Wouldn't even need to put back on CNC. Just use a router with a flush bearing bit!

[@kleinisfijn]

@@Chris_Moncada I don't think you can use solid hardwood rings, because those will leave large voids in the sheet which will literally blow up in the vacuum bag when glueing on the veneer. You need something solid without air pockets if you use a vacuum bag.

[@skylark4901]

Insane!

[@clgusmao]

Great video, how are you guys cutting the excess edgeband in each side?

[@mahmuodekreem7435]

Nice job

[@vwcamperinteriors]

I would have liked to see how you trim the edges

[@mdrk4950]

The curling iron solution is very clever! But once applied, how did you trim the banding flush with the panel faces? Any insights appreciated!

[@gregorhochschild7811]

Would love to hear about that as well.

[@VeganBytes]

You can use a loose Stanley carpet blade. This is what I use on curves when a standard edge trimmer can't get round the bends. It's a very sharp and easy way to get flawless edges.

[@tonydeleo3642]

Why did you do veneer on MDF instead of A2 plywood? Great idea using a curling iron, will keep this in my mind Thanks

[@jgibbs3718]

I understand the advantages of starting with a mdf core...but seems like this could've been made out of solid stock much easier.

[@colinmacdonald1939]

Any new MT Copeland lessons planned Ken? I have done the current ones 👍

[@Z-add]

You can still see the joint of the edge banding. Perhaps fill it with glue and sawdust to hide it. Why didn't you just paint the edge with matching color.

[@garretdouglas4056]

Looks great but I would have used the cut out holes to measure for edge banding taking kerf into the calculation. Can I get a raise?🤣

[@statesidechippie]

That’s a hole lot of work. 😏 I wonder how the Mrs. got on using the conturo to fix her hair?

[@VeganBytes]

Im not knocking the effort and ingenuity but thats a very expensive way to divide a workspace.

[@ccwnyc5671]

So you never just say No, or Can't be Done, to a client or challenge? 🤔 Well we see that from Koenigsegg and Moderna Pharma too I suppose. Just fantastic.

[@jeffgoldsmith1679]

aha Curling Iron!

[@ColeSpolaric]

I'd hate to be the guy that messes up on that.

[@mikhailarey1196]

I assume you are loosing money on this one. Very nice detail.

[@xavytex]

Now that kind of project would kill the passion in any cabinet maker... you gotta learn to say no for the sake of your guys. 10:10 well never mind, the guy seems happy. He should wear a latex bodysuit ;)

[@raygonzalez7478]

Jesus what a pain!

[@deancheng5827]

I can appreciate the use of MDF to keep such a large panel flat and stable. But rather hide the MDF with edge banding I would just be honest and embrace the look of MDF. Besides, the edge banding isn't fooling anyone into thinking that the panel is made from solid hardwood.
