Thank you guys for yet another great reveal. I myself is a builder and bit of a nerd so I tend to spend more time then I probably should seeking new knowledge, ideas and so on too improve on my own work. I always find myself really impressed with the amount of passion and true dedication you guys put into your work and really thankful for the resources used making these awesome videos. Thanks from Denmark for great inspiration In way of work and passion for the trade.
Yes! Please let us know what product you're using (currently). I'm pretty sure I remember you saying in a past video that you guys changed to a new version of that vacuum bag system.
Nice to see you using Fenix. Great product, with a great look and feel. The black is amazing, holds up really well against greasy fingers. Formica doesn’t seem to be as popular in the States as it is in Europe. Maybe you’d go over how you form and finish the boards and if you’ll be using the edge banding too? Great content! 👏🏼
So insightful thank you 🙏🏼 We have just ordered our polyurethane bag without zipper as it is not available in UK with 10CFM pump. Hope it all goes well for our large veneering order.
Love these videos. Wish all builders put as much thought and skill into their work as you guys do. It would be great to see how you process your lumber. What is the PVA glue you used in that glue up of the laminate? I use a bag for veneering but it is just open on the end. The zipper bag would be so much easier for longer pieces.
I'd be interested in seeing your approach to milling. In my shop if I'm working with 3/4" material I'll buy 13/16 S2S1SLE just to save some time, but anything else I'm buying rough.
Great videos guys. I love the workshop stuff. Any videos on processing etc would be great. Question. In some of your kitchens you don’t have standard toe kicks but moulding that sits proud like a standard skirting board. How do you deal with undulations in the floor when doing this? Thanks again.👍
For the drawer slides on the window bench wouldn’t you want them both to be the same length? I know that the drawer sides aren’t the same length of course. However if the throw of one side is shorter won’t that slide see more force from opening? When it gets fully extended. It also may appear to “torque” a bit if opened fast because that side hits first. And I’m not sure what the benefit of having one slide longer because it won’t be extended the full length. I could be wrong though!
It would be nice if you guys had an online store where those of us that are just DIYers could purchase laminate, veneers, and other supplies knowing that if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for us. I just searched Google today for high gloss laminate and OMG what a disaster. I get more than likely there isn't the staff and resources to do this, but I'll at least plant the seed of an idea 😉
My local plywood/hardware supplier doesn't carry any laminated veneer core products, they claim the ply will expand and contract under the laminate. I don't buy it as I've seen laminated ply in tons of commercial spaces, any opinion on that?
Ply where literally invented for stability. Your supplier isn’t telling you something maybe🤷🏻♂️. One detail Ken may have not mentioned here, like wood Veneer , laminated need to have equal thickness laminate on each side to keep a ply flat. If he said it, I may have missed it. But ply core sheets are great to laminate .
That would be interesting to see your process of milling wood.
Just here for the bloopers 👀 lol . Great work Ken
That's a beautiful piece of poplar ;)
Interesting vid Ken i'm loving the cabinetry specific content :)
Much appreciated thank you
I would like to see your process of how you finish cut and band those laminate panels.
What a great instructor- clear and concise.

First! That white oak countertop is going to look really nice.
Can’t wait to see that butcher block countertop
Love Ken’s Corner. Always interesting stuff posted. I always come away with something new. Thank you.
Great video! I just purchased a vacuum bag system for my cabinet shop and you have answered some questions I had about using it. Thank you!
Can you please share your source for that zippered vacuum bag ... that's pretty slick!

We will be using their edgebanding as well. We’ll definitely make sure to cover it in an upcoming episode.
We're about to use Fenix in a kitchen project. Timing couldn't have been better. Looking forward to the unbagging.
I love that vacuum bag with the zip. So much easier than loading mine from the single open end. Where is it from? Thanks for sharing these tips
So insightful thank you 🙏🏼

I love Fenix. Great looking laminate.

I use a bag for veneering but it is just open on the end. The zipper bag would be so much easier for longer pieces.
Do you cut all of your plywood/mdf pieces to size before laminating or do you laminate full sheets and then cut to size?
how do you level the window bench? are you scribing front legs to the floor and then shimming the back?
Just finished building and finishing 13 red oak edge grain tabletops, would love to see y’all’s whole process, especially sanding and finishing.

I'm curious where you got your vacuum bag and what size is yours?
for that butcherblock countertop, do you have to use any special glue for that? Is normal wood glue ok? or does it have to be food safe?
For the drawer slides on the window bench wouldn’t you want them both to be the same length? I know that the drawer sides aren’t the same length of course.

How are you going to keep that countertop stable?
Where's the vacuum bag from?
Dumb one: so the side bench drawers pull out the length of the short hardware, right?
Correct
