Ooo! That’s nice! It really turned out great! Definitely better than the method I’ve used in the past! Haha

[@DudeSawdust]

It totally works!

[@baddogcreative]

Love the tips here, I have a cabinet job for a client coming up and I haven’t done much edge banding. Usually I use face trim. Got a little more confidence going into this one after watching 👍

[@DudeSawdust]

Good luck on that cabinet job! If you can edge band before you assemble that is ideal but sometimes you find yourself in this situation and this technique works great

[@MrStrizver]

Why not just install the edge banding prior to cutting the plywood it to final size? Seems like that would give better results with much less effort.

[@DudeSawdust]

Actually not a bad idea. I personally think most people do it after it’s put together. But that’s a good tip too

[@juanhunglo23]

Seems like a lot of effort cutting into valuable time, and we all know time means money. Edge band one side of the whole board after ripping and before cutting individual panels for the best and most professional result. It will mean less work and a far better result with no wasted time. You could say it's working smarter, not harder, but at the end of the day, it's all about effective and efficient productivity.

[@Stillworks]

Interesting. I had trouble adding a faux miter with only edge banding. (So the plywood is just butt-jointed but you 45 miter just the edge banding). idea for your next video?

[@DudeSawdust]

Funny I had never thought of this definitely a great video idea. I may have to use this. Thanks 👍

[@kevinb6102]

I’ll have to teach my wife how to do this. She does the ironing around here.

[@DudeSawdust]

Working smarter not harder. 👍

[@workerbee4891]

Way easier to edgeband before you assemble, production style. Do your cutting.Then band, etc..Those ends that you're making a project out of are a non issue if done prior to assembly. You run your tape long just as you do on the sides. Cut them close and touch up with a sanding block and you're done. Move on.

[@DudeSawdust]

You’re definitely right! Order of operations I have learned is so important. When doing a project I often write it down just so I don’t forget. Thanks for watching!
