I was a always afraid of veneer as I was taught it needs to be pressed evenly for a long time after glueing. Now I see it's much easier using contact cement and your video makes me wanting to veneer, thanks a lot, Jon! :)

Really looking forward to this series. Great that you're starting out very basic and working up from there. I've never veneered before and I'm sure I'm not alone. I've seen you do it in the past but a good step by step would be super. It's all in the little details for me. Sometimes the simple taken for granted stuff that beginners don't know makes or breaks a project. Thanks for this. Walnut

I enjoyed the tutorial, John. I haven't worked with veneers but it seems like a practical alternative to solid wood if you prep your project properly. Also, I vote for the white oak.

Thanks for another great video! Lately I've been building some utility furniture (audio equipment racks) using baltic birch ply with a solid walnut face frame, and the contrast is really nice and makes the walnut stand out even more in my opinion. So my vote is to use the oak veneer for the body and the walnut for some kind of accent or trim!

Great tips! Cool furniture! One thing I'd do differently with the box you made is to have the face of the cabinet have trim that is at least as deep as the doors so you don't see the white ply peeking out in the end.

Great info, Jon~! I'm really looking forward to this "Veneering 101" build you're bringing. Closest I've come to veneering is laminating the top of a router table with formica, so I've got a rough idea of the basics. I'm very interested in trying my hand at this with an actual furniture project. Thanks in advance~!!

@gregorhochschild7811 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. I have mainly been applying veneer prior to assembly. This gives me new ideas! However, I really suggest water-based contact cement. In my opinion, the normal stuff is awful. Small like crazy and keeps releasing VOCs. I have good experience with the 3M but it's expensive so I generally use Wilsonart H2O contact cement.

@billqqq 3 жыл бұрын

Not a big fan of mid-century modern, but there are many other cases where knowing how to veneer is a needed skill. I usually opt for a veneer trimmer to bring it to size, though. I find it provides an accurate edge, and reduces the need to sand. I've also edge-banded as the final step, so the edge of the veneer is hidden, but we're talking ~ 1/64th here, so probably not such an issue. Great video, though, and the walnut is the winner. :)

@rickmunroe4159 3 жыл бұрын

Jon, my vote is walnut. Which ever you choose, I prefer you cover one side, then the top and finally, the other side. This will create, I believe, a very nice continuous run of grain. Good luck and thanks for all of the great videos! Rickster

Great tutorial video. I am wondering about the cost of buying plywood and then veneering the plywood as opposed to buying already veneered plywood. Any comments? I know the choice of veneers is larger than the choice of veneered plywoods. Are there any other advantages of using a venner over a veneered plywood?

@frederickwatson557 3 жыл бұрын

I'm watching you push on that flat board as you attempt to strengthen the adhesion between the veneer and the project back face and I'm thinking you might "split" the veneer due to too much pressure from the lead edge of the push board. I think the use of the J-roller would be a safer tool to use. Have you experienced any tear-out doing your method? Thanks for the veneer 101, it's very informative.
