Thank you so much Rob! Most channels out there only show edge banding 1 piece at a time. This site actually taught me how to edge band a built furniture! Thank you
This worked brilliantly. I forgot to edge-band my boards before assembly and your technique for squaring and setting the piece in between the sides was perfect.
Hi Rob, I have been to many sites on youtube which demonstrate construction techniques and different tools for different jobs, some of them I learn nothing and some I take away a little more knowledge, I recently came across your sites and must say they are the best I have every seen,everything delivered with an infectious enthusiasm, first hand knowledge of things to look out for, the best way to approach jobs. excellent, I learn more in a few minutes here than I have on year long carpentry courses, keep them coming please
Thanks Rob. This is one excellent tutorial, clearly, precise and just long enough (you didn't waist time talking about the weather and the dogs, if any). I especially like it where you clearly showed the tools and the materials needed for the project at the beginning of the video (some others just show them so quickly that viewers would have a hard time finding out what the heck they are). I'm now subscribed:)
Thanks Rob. Your explanations are very straightforward. I could listen to the video and do this without watching you actually do it! Great site! The way you reply to criticism is also great! Thanks again.
Excellent video Rob, thanks for sharing. I tend to edge band before assembly, but that's just my method. What I would like to share though is iron choice. I use a travel iron. The footprint of the iron is maybe 1/3 that of a full sized iron. I find it not to be nearly as 'tippy', especially on those long stretches on tall bookcases. Because of it's smaller mass it seems to heat up more quickly and keeping it's heat it not an issue. Starting out I was afraid its smaller mass would make me wait on the heat so to speak but that fear was unfounded. I'm in the sunset of my career, and my arthritic wrists appreciate the better ergonomics of the smaller iron.
right on, thank you very much. the 64th of an inch really makes a difference. it looks really good and i noticed it helps with dirt and peel back from daily use of my arcade cabinet..easier then using t molding and cheaper..everyone's mom has a iron..thanks for the $ save.
Thank you! I'm a furniture upcycler & flipper, so nearly everything I refurbish is assembled, solid, & would be a real pain in the neck to take apart. Thanks for this tutorial.
The only difference between yourcway and the way I do it is that I mitre join the corner pieces as it just looks better. You can also use ordinary paper backed sheet veneer and cut strips that you then put a thin layer of yellow pva glue onto lije titebond. Do the same with the receiving surface and allow the glue to tack slighly and using the iron and same technique apply the veneer. It works better than using glue backed strips which sometimes dont stick that well.
I'm building my 1st cabinet for my son's office out of ¾" Baltic Birch plywood. I have never used edge banding before and found your video perfect on how to do it. I was planning on applying the banding before assembly, but have decided to assemble 1st after watching your video. I'm still unsure if the plywood should be finished before or after applying the edge banding. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
I have used a ton of iron edge banding and just used FastCap peel and stick edge banding for the first time. I don’t think I’m going back to iron on. Also I will second the comment on edge banding your panels before assembly. That being said still a good informative video and certainly good if you are edge banding an assembly.
Great video. Really helped me to understand how to apply it correctly. Now suddenly I can change my plans from expansive massive wood to cheaper wood but keeping the same look. But would it be an idea to first make the cabinet, then unscrew it again, apply the veneer and then reinstall it all back together? Will veneer stick to mdf wood just as well?
hi ! Do you have any tips on bending the edging convex or concave I find trying to push it into or around a curve the edging will break,, is there any way to soften the veneer to allow it to bend without shattering ?
Hi, my carpenter is leaving some space between 2 laminates and giving the reason that if he'll not do this then tge air will destroy the laminate, is it true bc its looks shabby with the space... Is it true??

It's real wood Preston, so yes... you can stain it with whatever is your favorite choices as you would any other wood project, or use clear polyurethane.
I already know what it is, that’s why I came here, so the couple if minutes explanation of what it is unnecessary. Your explanation actually began when you talked about arranging the edge flush.

leaving the little extra length on the horizontal piece is next level stuff! Thanks for throwing that in. Tips like that never get old.
Thank you so much Rob!

You just helped so much. My tape came with no directions and some “experts” were saying use a hair dryer. Thanks
Talk about well-done. That Yankee to-the-point description, and clearly with lots of experience behind it. Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial! Just what I needed to finish off a decorative wedding sign!
Awesome, perfect instruction - no excess blather. Thanks Rob.

i guess it is kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?
Very thorough and specific directions. Thanks
Great informative easy to follow video. What about curved corners? Any hints?
Good video, very helpful for someone doing this for the first time.
Great video, perfect detail, short and to the point
I used a heat gun. Worked great 👍. Just be careful not to put too much heat.
I sure am glad I found your video. Thank you very much. This was very helpful. Appreciate you sharing your expertise.
You are very welcome
Thanks! Been looking for a video that shows a good trimming method without having a specific tool 👍

Thank you for your amazing information, today I just learn the first technique in woodworking.
Excellent tutorial, thank you..
Hi Rob...great video. I'm wanting to apply edging to a rounded edge. Is there a different technique needed to do this..cheers and thanks again
Thanks Rob really good video .question can you paint are should you paint it thanks in advance
Always a great tip, wood block for the wood tip win!!!
Great Tutorial. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing this!
Great advice
What do you do to prep (sand, etc) the edge of plywood before you do banding?
hi ! Do you have any tips on bending the edging convex or concave I find trying to push it into or around a curve the edging will break,, is there any way to soften the veneer to allow it to bend without shattering ?
Very helpful video. Thank you so much.
Would it be wise to use a 1/8' roundover bit on my router after applying a veneer edge?
Great video Rob, Thanks for info.
Backing block great tip thank you
Hmmmm, before purchasing any sort of "plans", check out Woody's site. Hyezmar's finally published his rather dated but solid plans. Cheers!
Does the tape adhesive?
Hi, my carpenter is leaving some space between 2 laminates and giving the reason that if he'll not do this then tge air will destroy the laminate, is it true bc its looks shabby with the space... Is it true??
Great instructions, thank you.
Can apply this over painted plywood
thanks
Thanks Rob great video
Very helpful thank you. I'm trying to apply veneer in very tight inside radius's any suggestions on tools where an iron won't fit?
Doug Harvey flush router
***** great tip
Thank You Sir!
Can I use this on a rounded corners table top
Very pro delivery
Is there something thinner. Less than 1/8"?
I was thinking less than 1/16"
Smart trick with the 1/64 edge overlay . . . .can you apply the tape over a saw cut finish or do you need a smother surface? Thanks . . .Danny
as long as its not cray rough you'll be ok
It’s an 1/8” thick??
Is it stainable?
I want to do this around a round table, how do I do that. Thank you
Bunty Bunny same way, and edge is an edge
Thank you for a nice video
Nice
What size banding would i use for 1/2'' wood? I mean how wide?
I used 3/4". Hard to find 5/8". Check your plywood though, it may be slightly under 1/2".
At what point do you scream and throw the iron?
I think you can learn more about it on woodprix.
OK nice
Helloo what is plastic edging used for?
Job Ogutu wood veneer to cover plywood unfinished edges
Only issue is how u do this on melamine (pre laminated wood with raw edge)
You can buy tape specifically for melamine.

Americans ‘1/64 of an inch’
Rest of the world ‘huh, wtf is that’
An “eighth” of an inch thick??,..that’s what he said i’m pretty darn sure.
ok ok ok
not a good job . use PVC mode of them and paste by 123 glue
