Making Live Edge Plywood / Fake Live Edge Slab

[@hjboots]

Another great lesson on using natural wood from a fallen tree. I don`t understand how anyone could dislike what you put forth. A teacher is a treasure would should all appreciate as there knowledge becomes ours and a world becomes better shaped. Thanks for your teaching`s i love every minute of it.

[@randallmacdonald4851]

I love the way you explain everything. Thanks.

Your show reminds me of this old house, or the new Yankee workshop. Both, I watched a a child on PBS with my father. I loved every second of those old shows. I'm a younger woodworker and with respect, I try to only take tips on-line from older folks because I know that with experience comes wisdom. I'm trying to bootstrap my own furniture company and I'm only starting with a harbor freight circular saw. Hopefully I can nail down a couple pieces to pay for a table saw. You got a great show and I love all your smart solutions. keep up the good work! 👍😀

Another cool vid. Even the simplicity of using the painters tape to clamp the “live edge”. While you were applying the glue to the edges, I never thought that the solution would be the easiest one, of tape. Keep these gems coming Colin. Thanks from🇬🇧

Best teacher on the internet at this time, thank you for sharing your great knowledge with others, we appreciate the calm and detailed way of your videos. The other videos are very fast and you cannot retain what they are trying to teach.

Hello, Just want to tell you that you have been a great deal of help to an old fella just getting started. Thanks a bunch. Sonny

[@billys6369]

That works really good when building old barn wood projects to hide sawn surfaces as well.

[@QuadDoc]

Colin, ANOTHER one that blew me away! Keep up the great work and the phenomenal content! Thank you for sharing this with us! I know you don't have to and I know that it takes a lot of time and effort to setup, plan, direct, film, act, woodwork, edit, produce, etc... AND that's NOT even including the website and the articles you write! Just know that we TRULY appreciate you and the work you put in!

[@robertaorrjr]

Brilliant! I have milled many slabs of maple & ash and lamented tossing the live edges when using the wood. Now I see a potential use for them beside the wood stove!

[@TheKevinator-81]

Great ideas. Good job. Thankyou

[@colrajdhan]

Had no idea that season mattered. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@rajanmathai]

Thanks for sharing nice idea

[@mikecurtin9831]

A couple of ideas that I would never have thought of. Thanks for the new tips and thumbs up to crush a troll.

[@jimcoogan1529]

That's a good idea. I typically buy wood that is only surface planed on two sides. Then I cut off the live edge to get my panels. Now I can save the live edge and use it on other projects. Thanks.

[@adrianabshire]

This gives me a great idea for our fireplace mantle! I've been wanting about a 5 inch thick mantle about 8 foot across for our enormous fireplace - this will be the perfect (and much cheaper) alternative to a huge live edge mantle! Thanks for all the work you do for us!

[@MCsCreations]

Really fantastic idea, Colin! Thanks a lot!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@michebre]

Thanks very much Colin. Very interesting option for working edges on plywood. Great Video!!!

[@jimvietor416]

[@rsamaran]

Love the idea. Thank you Colin 😊

[@alexreid4131]

[@IsaKocoglu]

Excellent video Colin! Thank you very much, young man!

[@rsramanujam]

Great idea! Thank you, Colin

[@carmgitto]

Excellent video as always your delivery and knowledge is unmatched However i was thinking about making a glass live edge table :)

[@mdmizanurrahman220]

Fantastic! another excellent idea.

[@TheDudeAbides-247]

If you don't have the fence jig, could you just cut the live edge using a track saw or a circular saw with a straight edge?

[@juancarloslopez688]

Thanks a lot Colin, great job !!! and thank you for sharing

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very interesting an thanks for the knowledge on how to Live Edge , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LogHouseFarm]

What a unique idea, thanks.

[@kinkjarfold3816]

How clever!

[@nicolasoviedo9495]

Maestro , gracias por compartir tus conocimientos,

[@SMee67]

Always good to have options! 👌🏾 Nice one mate👍🏾

[@sbuzz5889]

man u come up with idea after idea great always new content thanks

[@Bramsshed1913]

Brilliant idea Colin thank you 😊 Cheers, Bram

[@normanerwin4242]

Neat! Could vary the plywood edge as something other than straight and attach live edge to taht as well? Also, noticed a board affixed to the metal infeed/outfeed table on your thickness planer. Can you expand upon that?

[@toddz8579]

I was curious too about that board. Looks like a piece of formica with a slick surface for ease of feed - but aren't there any rollers in the floor of the infeed/outfeed table that this board would cover?

[@spencerbass7142]

That is really neat.

[@petesutherland870]

Winter coat; I had no idea. Great video!

[@Ticky66MN]

Great idea, thank you!

[@albertqss]

Great video as always. I wonder what would happened if the anti-slip material gets caught by the blade.

[@xcrewchief1]

Wondered the same thing. I don’t think it would end well

[@o.g.bwoodwork]

Awesome job Colin! It looks great 👍

[@aaronabbott6572]

Colin. What size is your shop. You always seem to be working a small space.

[@dfnkjaws]

Genius

[@marko6695]

How fast does bark fall off wood cut in Summer? And did it always fall off? Lots of wood to cut here... Thanks.

[@ayadkachou8469]

What about the 2 other ends, I mean the short ends. How we gonna hide the plywood look? It's a great idea but can you please finish the project. Thanks.

[@RallesBastelgarage]

Cool idea looks sup, greetings from germany 👍👍

[@oooldman11]

Sorry but I have an off topic question. When I use my router 95% of the time i cannot remove the bit. I never bottom it out, But i o have to really whack it hard to get it to release. What am i doing wrong ? I am almost ready to stop using my router all together!!

[@dagored100]

Well thats a awesome tip... thank you

[@jessegarrett6343]

Now I want to see the reverse. Plywood edge on a piece of tree.

[@timort2260]

Pretty neat trick I thought about doing this a while back but it was kinda a joke just has some cherry live edge I needed to take off then i clamped to a metal bench and called it a live edge. But honestly i can see a time and place for this that's for sure. I have my own technique to do live edges but it's done with high voltage electricity lol.

[@rickwanless5738]

I am trying to make a live edge table and the joinery I was looking at the loose tenon method with the stacked dowels but can't seem to find the name of the inserts to purchase can you help please

[@maximeprimeau670]

Now you will need to find a way to make the other ends look line end grain, cutting thin end grain after gluing up leftovers might be a solution...

[@giovannipetitti1588]

Hi Colin 💯👍

[@Andy-in8ej]

Oh Colin. The live edge is not fake, it's the board that is not 100% honest. Trades description are after you now.

[@rafemaxwell4143]

Just when I thought live edge was going out.... faux live edge!

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Cut off the live edge and put on the fire to save it messing up your furniture XD

[@i1bike]

I know u are older guy and it might sound weird to you, but its about ur surname. It is not pronounced as "K-net", it is pronounced as "Neht". Combined letters "c+h" are pronounced as "h" like in helicopter, letter "e" is pronounced as "e" like in pepsi, and letter "k" is a mute letter used only for spelling. I know u wont start pronouncing ur surname differently now, but i just wanted you to know, about ur central european origin. Greetings from europe, from another family of "Knechts !
