Best video on veneering I've seen to date. I had no idea that there was a right and wrong side when it comes to gluing up, and the tips regarding adhering wet and dry to the contact side of a straight edge to prevent slippage, and the thin-strip cutting jig were absolutely priceless! What a superb craftsman and teacher you are sir!

I'm with you, but unfortunately many still feel it's a cheap form of furniture or cheating. I think this started back in the 50's, 60's and early 70's with introduction really cheap imitation mass produced plastic veneers and sort of stuck. Personally I am very happy with veneers and solid edge work as long as the construction and sub-straight materials are of a sufficiently high enough quality and not Chipboard of fiber density panels. These materials do have their place and function but for me it's definitely not high end craftsmanship built pieces. Cheers Steve

loved this basic part 1 video! Could not find the part two after searching. Is the part two still posted ?

The tape trick from 4:30 is really smart

Thank you for some very helpful tips - most appreciated. Do you have any tips on how to bulk cut veneer sheets into strips? I have about 400 sheets requiring cutting into 1/4 inch strips for miniature parquetry. Thanks

@Woodworkingmasterclass

Hi Angie, The way I would do large numbers of sheets is to clamp them between 2 sheets of plywood and put them over a table saw. I would prefer a Table saw but is may also work on a Bandsaw with a fine tooth blade. Cheers Steve

I have some experience in woodworking but it's my first time with veneer had no idea about sides. I am tempted to put pattern but no sure if can manage

How can fibers be cut only on one side?

Same way as shaving comes off a plane or chisel blade. When it curls you'll notice the underside is broken and cracked while the top side remains in tack. Cheers Steve

Hola juanca, No conozco uno para doblar madera, pero uso prensa de libros para aplanar madera si eso ayuda. Compré uno de 2ª mano en internet. Adiós, sé feliz. Steve

Yes! This is just what I needed, thanks so much! I couldn’t ask more after freely downloading Woody Hyezmar's Bible, google it, it's still available.

You always say the side that bends easily, but it's actually the opposite side you mark as the glue side?

Hi Yolanda. I would suggest using a Veneer hammer or something simliar to put the [pieces into place them cover with some sort of non stick paper and add a heavy weight on top of the paper. Even a bucket of water works fine and is something I often use myself. Cheers Steve
