@@merlesking Honestly not sure. But I remember if there was any imperfection in the log like a pebble or staple it would damage the blade and leave marks in the veneer. And they would have to go over and smooth out the blade and possibly replace it if it was bad.
That is so scary. Someone has to show that person the pics of people after they've gotten their hair caught in the winding machines. To this day I can still recall the images from my OH&S workplace induction.
Lol, the veneer place I just started working at instantly states tie back any long hair as one of the first things on the safety page... wonder why :p?
The woman at 7:56 is working on a rotating machinery with her long hair dangling. I'd be surprised if she still had not got an accident with her hair caught by the machine.
Not just that timing in the video. If you have in mind that this clip is taken in the 80's it's fine. As you can see many of the operations are done by operators. Today's technology replaces the no of Op's and the safety is at the high level.
Was wondering what machine cuts wood that thin, never thought of a giant wood plane blade. I'm guessing that every log needs a freshly sharpened blade.
One blad lasts maximum 1 day :-) But sometimes they need to be resharpened even in the middle of a log if there is a particularly sharp thing like metal in the log. Saw that in another documentary about this!
same way as the other ones, there's little nail head looking things that poke into the wood a bit, and a vacuums sucking the log against the surface and holding it to it. I was skeptical of it holding it there too til I started working at a veneer place yesterday XD
I'm sure her hair was just out for the video, she was wearing ass show off jeans too. She was probably disappointed that they didn't show her face. This video is old though, I used to dress like that on the job during the 80's and 90's. I'm a long haired dude to this day. These days, i keep it tucked in a hat.
As someone who works in a plywood mill, it's pretty disturbing thinking about working without a hard hat making that stuff. It's saved my life at least once
That chick with the long hair is gonna get hurt. Blows my mind they are allowing her to work without hair under a hardhat.This plant is filled with tee shirt tennis shoe wearing workers. Not good.
+Ronnie Jenzen Temple Of Doom or, No Hair To Groom!!! I worked with a 2nd shift Forman named Wayne, that before I met him heard him referred to as "Dent Head"! I failed to see the significance of the nick name until I was formally introduced to him. Whaddaya know, right there on his forehead was the near-perfect indentation of a good sized Lathe Chuck Key!! I nearly lost it!! At the time it seemed humorous, but it was actually a sad situation. Rotating objects under power have neither sympathy, nor "scruples"! Gb bg
Wow, serious lack of safety and sensibility. Crap! the girl with the loose long hair at the rolling machine. Even without health and safety laws, I would think that the implications of getting your hair caught would make you choose to tie it up! Makes me cringe to think of how violent it would be to get your hair caught and be pulled into the roll... jeez!
I find this very informative, but the narration is rather... unprofessional. Such boisterous phrases like "done only by the finest technician" and "a source of pride" and various other meaningless description are misleading. We engineers have concepts like error margin and compromises and trade-offs. Nothing is "perfect" or "ideal", but rather everything have unique properties which may or may not be desirable depending on application.
eh an wood is generly a very good matterial there is a reason why high luxury apartments still use lots of wood even when they could financialy switch to plastic and metal
As an engineer and a craftsman, it's always nice to add another technology to my repertoire. Thank you
I worked for a veneer plant in Idaho once. We had to debark the trees by hand though, one of the hardest jobs ive ever had.
Curious how the mill keeps the cutting blades sharp. Hope you can help.

@@merleskingwhere I work at they have a area where a machine sharpens them.
They do this at the plant I work at in Indiana
Fascinating and extremely interesting. Thank you for posting it.

I was thinking the same thing… only 11 years later
Wow, this is impressive!
7:53-7:58 Long hair + rotating machinery doesn't usually end well.
oh well... such was the 80s :)
Julia Anderson Many dangerous :(

So It wasnt just me. every1 noticed dat
@@th3RamDragon Nope, made me cringe immediately too.
loved this video. Thank you for sharing and, I know this is a really old video, and infrared technology was the state of the art then. :)
Has AI replaced the human labor in the veneer plant yet?
Question from Taiwan
Big thanks

I saw that too and thought how dangerous that was.
nice video like it 🙂
7:55 That woman (i suppose) is silly at least. Loose hair near a rotating piece...
Exactly what i scrolled to the comments to say.

Is there a better quality version of this great how to video?
i needed this
What substance do they soak the logs in? 2:30
They soak the logs in wood
Thank you!
Lembra muito da Atlantic Venner uma grande fabrica
wonderful video. thanks for posting.

Very good job
Hmmm I finally followed Adam's advice and downloaded Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. It's great for beginners, and has some advanced stuff too.
7:58 could be a Tom and Jerry scene
watched this, then looked down at my desk and could easily tell that the surface was made from rotary cutting
watches video then becomes an expert
Its 2 am, i dont know why i'm watching this....but i'm watching
(7:55) 🎵Come with me, and you'll see a world of OSHA violations🎵
how are the logs fastened tight on the machine at 4:57?
same way as the other ones, there's little nail head looking things that poke into the wood a bit, and a vacuums sucking the log against the surface and holding it to it. I was skeptical of it holding it there too til I started working at a veneer place yesterday XD
Holy crap, check out the woman's long hair at 7:57. I wouldn't go near that machinery with hair that long!!!
I'm sure her hair was just out for the video, she was wearing ass show off jeans too. She was probably disappointed that they didn't show her face.

I hope they're eco friendly 🔥🗣️
How possible..never
please can I glue more than one mdf board and what type of glue are to be use?
Wouldn't you have to glue each piece of veneer to the one below it, to make plywood? It doesn't show this in the glue machine step
the veneers run through a glue curtain (waterfall of glue) on a production line before they are stacked and pressed.
As someone who works in a plywood mill, it's pretty disturbing thinking about working without a hard hat making that stuff. It's saved my life at least once
Maybe in this factory there are not things falling on your head like in America.
That chick with the long hair is gonna get hurt. Blows my mind they are allowing her to work without hair under a hardhat.This plant is filled with tee shirt tennis shoe wearing workers. Not good.
LOOK OUT!!! At 7;56 I'd like to see the lady wear at least a Hair Net, or someone else could be raising her kids!! Deffinately not an OSHA Factory!!
+george scarlett was watching full screen and closed it to make the same comment and see yours, lol. scary, reminds me of the end of temple of doom

I think its insane how expensive this stuff is for a paper thin piece, more expensive than a whole sheet of plywood lol
Process to make it is more expensive.
Where is the employee PPE? No gloves, safety glasses, hard hats.
10:55 Oh my gods! They cut up an Ent!! You BASTERDS!!!
That’s not how I made veneer, our logs were steamed and then pealed on a lathe with a 6 foot blade.
Good !
Sounds like this was narrated by Carl Sagan.

where can i buy veneer in ny then?
@1906davison where do you work?
7:55, health and safety much.
yeah ive noticed it to, 100 hair strands can make a difference to roll in that machine.
If I did something like this, I'd fire myself the same day (being a guy with long hair).
Thanks for sharing how plywood was made in 1965. I’m sure it’s still similar today albeit better camera technology and different voices
1965?? Try 1995.
unica high pressure laminates
Veneer
How much price veneer
depends on what wood veneer you wish to buy
Plant more than you cut down.
like it
The more you know 🎶
My dad is the guy that does most the vids
so money nowadays!
Why did I watch this :S
This video is from 95
Скажите этой, на 7:55, чтобы волосы убрала!
I bought plans from woodprix and I made it very fast.
I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the Woodglut plans.

This is exactly like watching videos of commy propaganda from behind the Iron curtain 😁
Update this damn video
I did something similar with stodoys instructions.
Stodoys plans help with such details.
This time I will use Stodoys plans for this.
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
Good wood industries propaganda !!!…
Still I fail to understand why wood in our homes has made our lives better than our parents' !!! (0:55)
eh an wood is generly a very good matterial there is a reason why high luxury apartments still use lots of wood even when they could financialy switch to plastic and metal
My works too. Used woodprix handbooks and build it with no problems.
Really enjoy it. Let's check woodprix plans also.
Don't buy Woodprix, it's a con.
