My heart sank the instant you dropped the guide through the band saw table. 😂
Very well explained. In the podcast you talk about Bob being very eloquent and putting thoughts into words and this video was so easy to follow and understand. Awesome work David!
Exactly! I consider myself relatively intelligent, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around box joint jigs. Then I watched David’s box joint video, and it all made sense. There’s just something about his way of explaining things that just resonates with me. 🙂
thank you guys! 🙏
I agree with both these guys. I'm a beginner at woodworking myself but I was easily able to follow along with his demonstration and fully understood by his teaching methods. Love the "why/why not to" elaborations especially
I have moved into a new house recently and do not have a workshop setup currently. All my equipment is wrapped up and stored in my garage until I can get a shop built in my backyard. Watching your videos every week really helps me feel like I am still "Making It" even though I am not. Thank you for your dedication to always putting out new intriguing projects.
If you do a ten-minute video of you flapping veneers, you've earned my like... I mean, you've earned it here too but I'll happily do another!
Thank you David, Hope your doing ok ? Look forward to “Making it “ every week
Excellent video. It's nice to have more control over the veneers you make then fumbling through multiple in store veneers looking for just the right one you never can find.
Another great video.
I laughed when the setup block fell through the throat plate.
Thanks! Yeah, that wasn't supposed to happen but it made me laugh.
Yeah I lost it at that moment. Especially since it just went unmentioned.
Really superb instruction....especially using a sledge for very thin pieces....thanks john uk
The brass set up block got me 🤣🤣🤣
I am so excited for the next video! I am resawing a bunch of walnut right now for 2 twin beds for my 4 year old twins!
1/16”, I’m impressed! …and I also need a drum sander. Thanks David, now I want to try this.
I never made veneers before but after seeing your video I said way not
Worked great thanks you opened up a lot of new projects for me
Glad to hear the old MakeSomething theme at the end... It was like talking to an old friend you haven't heard from in a while.
I'm not sure I can pull this off, but I have an awesome idea for a project if I can get it to work... Like you said, you can use any wood.. I love the idea of a spalted maple veneer!
I make my own veneer as well and I love it. One of my favorites is to buy exotic woods and veneer them for inlay.
Fantastic tips, Dave! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Dude your workshop looks like a living room, love it !
Hoping in the near future to upgrade my bandsaw so I can start cutting veneers. Until then, I’ll just have to buy them.
Very informative video!
Thanks brother, building a band saw to do nothing but Re-Saw! The sled for the planer is a great idea the sand paper seems to hold it very nicely!!! Thanks for that tip. Keep turning left!
As already, you are great. Thanks for sharing your methods.

I just wanna say, you're looking happy and healthy, David!
There will never be a replacement for Anthony Bourdain. But I would choose you for Raw Craft. Love your voice and tempo.
oh man, thank you!
David, as always, beautiful!
The scene at 2:39 earned my like. 👍
Nice video. Style was a little different but I like it. Really liked the intro about the tools needed.
Love this… great tips inside! Thanks David, I had an “ah ha” moment!
Not a woodworker myself(yet) but I love the idea and overall concept of projects like this or milling lumber in general. The project before the project that is itself part of the project. The work you have to put in, in order to do another kind of larger more involved project/work. The execution and importance of each step along the way. We've been talking a lot about how, in life one dot is connected to the next and so on, that we cannot get to the subsequent dot until we get to the next dot. And this morning, I watched you mill down some walnut into sheets of thin veneer that will ultimately become part of one thing that will become another even larger thing...and it was as entertaining and informative as your larger projects.
Be well.
Awesome video.
Your workshop is very colorful , organized, and beautiful 😍 may Allah bless you and your workshop
Thank you, this is extremely helpful
"as always ... stay passionate and make something... with veneers" 😂
You make me change ways of thinking in many ways to make my own veeneers. :) :) :)
the brass block into the saw!!! LOLOL my life
Thanks man. I would never have thought about this. A great tip!
I'm looking forward to seeing all walnut plywood
Wow, you’ve gotten really good at these videos. I was thinking about the older vids and pulled up this one. Lots of steady focused progress.
Nice, tight, informative video Dave. Thanks!
Planning on stripping our old hardwood faced and cardboard core doors for their facing, should come up nicely.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with the homemade plywood
ps don't forget to get the setup block out of the bandsaw 😂
Always enjoy and you get me think’n! Thanks.
Super helpful. Thank you David!
Very well explained man. Good job!
Great, very informative. Thank you
Veneeeeeeeerr, the man says. 😊
Great video David! I can’t wait to see the full walnut plywood!
Lots of great tips here, even if you're not going to be making your own veneers. I'm still getting used to my planer and was surprised when I tried to get something too thin and got a bad catch. Glad to know it's a grain issue and I can watch out for that next time. I really like my Rikon benchtop bandsaw, but I still get blade drift when I push too hard. Maybe I just need a better blade for it. If you made a video of 10 minutes of board flapping, I would definitely watch it, and probably die laughing. 🤣 Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video!
Thanks, Dave!
thanks
Thanks for sharing the process! Love the splotchy back ground with the color behind the drill press. I am going to totally use that as inspiration for a couple of canvases! That's what I am making this weekend
Good tips......thank you!
Great video! Thanks!
Your awesome ! Thanks for the video.
A great video! Love how you explain everything so well!
It’s going to work!
Great video. Cool and clear instructions. Can't wait to see the final project. Mahalo for sharing! : )
2:37 INTO THE VOID
Super cool! Thanks
Special project, huh? Could it perhaps be time for the next set of wedding rings already? 🤔
Looking forward to the video!
Great guess as it is almost time!
Now I need a good tale saw, a bigger planer, a big joiner and a drum sander :( I wish we had hardwood veneer here for sale.
Another "awesome" video Dave. Can't wait to see what you do next with the veneer plys!
Hey David, it seems like I stopped getting notifications on your videos, even though the 🔔 is set to ALL. 😔 This is great, I definitely want to try making some veneers soon.
Great idea
Guess I need to go and find myself a bandsaw!
Very Good👍👍👍
Awesome
Dave at 7:38 "I could make a 10 minute video of me doing this [flapping the veneers] and I would have a great time."
Me: And you would still have thousands of views and likes. 😁
I'm always learning something from you. Thank you for another great video.
You gave me a great idea with the solid wood plywood. I'm going to try that, but with different species. Maybe walnut and maple. Make a small board about 1-1/2" thick and do some creative cutting to see what it will look like. Feel free to use my brilliant idea for your own video. LOL.
@4:09 I cannot be the only person who was thinking of that episode of The Office with the DVD screensaver... right?
Love your work as always! :oD
Hi David, could you tell me what thickness of veneer you did in the video? And could you update link on Drum Sander (current link doesn't work).
What's the reason you'd want to make them thinner (after getting the surfaces smooth)? After the comment at the beginning about sanding through thin veneers I'd have thought the closer you could keep it to the initial re-sawn thickness the better? (I'm a blacksmith by profession, woodworker only as a hobby)
Could you make veneer with a kind of oversized hand planer?
My guess is you'd need a big machine with enough power and also need to soak the wood for that to work.
Question: if I need a wide veneer, how would I edge join two veneers together?
Thanks. I hate it every time I have another reason to have a drum sander. LOL
Cool!!! 😍
Would love to see someone have a go at making a veneer peeler, does anyone know if it's been done?
That would be awesome!
Veneers aren't for me, detures are the way to go. 🤣
If you soak the veneer and then ROLL it, it will be more flexible and go around corners or act like a leather flap for fancy to containers (invented by Ekan, in Canada.. and seen on their website)
Ahhh yes, the 1 sided glue-up potato chip phenomena. It's also applicable on 3/4" mdf + hollow core door bench builds. Sheesh, I built a giant slab sled to fix vs. scrap and start over.
I can't believe 3/4th inch Baltic birch will potato chip.. guess I will find out as I'm not using double the material of 19 a board foot wood I am trying to stretch..
OOO...what a great video. Walnut chair backs that are curved using ALL walnut plys! How far can these veneers bend before they break? Can they go half circle? Would you recommend that?
How is this shop so clean? What type of air filtration do you use?
No air filtration. Just dust collection at each tool.
Fácil, rápido, y cualquiera con un taller de carpintería avanzado puede hacerlo, 🤣🤣
Is 5TPI too many teeth for veneer cutting (blade is 3/4in width)?
Is it good for veneering mdf.. when i use home sawn venner.. i mean thick like that.. about 3/33"?
Which bandsaw blade are you using? Looks like carbide clad?
what grit paper did you use in the drum sander to clean up the veneer.
I can't believe you burn walnut in your fireplace.
There's just so much that we don't know what to do with it.
Great video. Iv just got a big bandsaw so am definitely going to give this a go. I
May have missed something but where is camera Dan?
Walnut plywood? All layers walnut? I guess I'll have to watch the next video for the why.
How many 1/8 inch set up blocks are in Dave's saw? LMBO!!
hahaha!
I’m going to have to get some crap wood to practice this. Every time I try to resaw anything, it comes out thin in the middle, thick on top and bottom, or flat but wedge shaped. I’ve ruined pine, walnut, cherry and (last weekend) curly maple. I’ve tried thick blades, thin blades, flat fence, fence with a round bar on it so I could pivot the wood. Nothing’s worked so far. (I was PISSED about the maple)
Maybe I need a different blade.
As Dave said: "Wide, sharp blade and go slow". Sufficient blade tension helps. Perhaps you need to adjust the fence for drift. Table square to the blade. Blade guides just barely touching the blade. In short a adjusted saw. IMHO
Very nice work!
Was that cherry wood that you were resawing?
How thick can veneers be?
Thanks for the vid, can you please comment on whether or not you could use mdf as a substrate rather than plywood, as quality plywood is expensive where I live but mdf is readily available. Thanks again.
Absolutely you can!
Thank you. I have learnt a lot from your videos.
Man that just makes me wish my band saw didn't suck even more. I can't get a good cut out of it no matter what I do
Once you cleaned up the 1/8th inch thick veneers, aside from the specific project that you are working on, why take them down to 1/16th or beyond?
no reason other than I don’t want them so thick that they add too much thickness to the piece I’m gluing them on.
Hey man, I was looking for your grand Dad interview video but I cant find it, by the Way, did you see Giuseppe Tornatore's great movie called "la mejor oferta"? (thats in spanish) its a Real Wonder, lets see it, thanks for the nice and funny videos and of course the making it podcast 🤟

hello bearded man
Wet glue will cause it "to potato chip" - new verb enters the English Language!
3:07 *angrily looks at people who will still talk about not having the tools
ha!
Which saw is it?
