Thanks for saving what little I have left of my sanity. After years of fighting with edge band trimmers, this is the ONLY way I will do edge banding from now on.
i was taught to use a file when i trained. i must admit that i now use a wide blade chisel held flat against the side and angled down. takes it off in one quick peel and then one light run down the edge at 45 with a file and the job is done.
Agreed. I’ve seen ppl free-climb skyscrapers and cliff faces, trained dogs sniff out fiber optic cable burried under concrete, lions fighting crocodiles for a buffalo, but this…. this is THEE best vid on the net!
Very nice tutorial...i have used files before and its all gummed up after many uses on edges...i.doesnt work as good as it was before...is there a way to clean the file ..i used detergent and a brush but its gummed up.
Can you veneer a routed curved mitered edge. I have a mdf top on a cabinet, and the edge is not a straight flat edge. The Cabinet top is veneered on bare mdf, but the tops edging im not sure how to go about it or if that is something done at all with veneer.
Amazing. Been looking all over the place for a vid that shows how to do veneer edge trimming with a file. I will be using this technique for veneer edge trimming, maybe also for edge banding trimming. I can't afford a router/trimmer.
Could I use veneer edging on a more rough edge like chipboard/particle board? Or would the glue not be sufficient for a good bond, since the cut surface of chipboard is usually not as flat as plywood or solid wood?
And as shown on this video Don't be afraid to put your file on it and you need to lay your piece flat down on the table which you standing over it fall left to right it's much easier and then you flip your piece and do the other side it's much easier one shelf or one upright less than 30 seconds then it's time for stain or paint
One of the poorest demos of installing shelf edging that I have seen. NEVER - NEVER - NEVER!! draw your file angled up towards the top. ALWAYS ensure the file is angled DOWN as you are trimming the edge. An amateur will learn this very quickly. Too bad the pro isn't really as pro as he would like.... SAD!!

LOL!
Best edge-banding tutorial ever! Thank you! 😁👍
If you are working with a long section by yourself, just use painter's tape to keep it in place while you start.

So do you use the chisel's sharp blade to do the cutting or the side of the chisel like the file to do that cut? Trying to learn. Thanks in advance.
The best video on the internet here. This just works. Thank you!

After much frustration with both a cheap edge band cutter and an expensive one I found this video and finished my project. Great info 👍
The file works very well. Even for PVC edges material
Thank you sharing! It is my first time using veneer.
Thanks for making this video. Very helpful. Repurposing a table and the old veneer strip came off. Replacing it and I wasn't sure how to. Got it now!
This guy makes it look so easy
you are very patient. and your work looks great thank you...
Very helpful and very clearly explained. Thank you.
What type of file is that?
that was beautiful , nice job
great stuff, i've used the Band-It brand trimmer before, but i lost it, so i'm going to give this a try, thanks
Good instruction, thank you
Well expleined. File trick is helpful
How do you get a dislike on an alternate way of edge banding ? Great tutorial. Not everyone has an edge bander and trimmer.
Thanks for the support Wyatt!
100%
If you can afford the tool you should not be in the game. Cheapo.
Hey jerry. How did you even end up commenting on this?? If your RUclips-ing how to do edge banding. You shouldn’t be in the game.
@@jonathansmith5648 I wasn't. It came on after something I was watching so I watched just to see what he had to say. It was a total waste of time.
Got those certified apple pie wiggle toes 🇺🇸 craftsman hands thank you sir
So helpful, thank you!
Great video! To the point, simple and great music track

Thank you. Good comprehensive video. Very helpful.
Does it matter which finger you lick?
Great video!
It does not, go nuts! :0)
Can one use a palm router to trim it? Or won't the glue hold against that sort of pressure?
Thanks for the useful info! Will u recommend to do veneer on the Edge first or the main surface of the wood?
Thanks for the tip. It did a better job.
very well explained 👍🏻
Can this work on particle board?
Can you veneer a routed curved mitered edge. I have a mdf top on a cabinet, and the edge is not a straight flat edge. The Cabinet top is veneered on bare mdf, but the tops edging im not sure how to go about it or if that is something done at all with veneer.

Good job. Thank you for sharing
Why use a file? Is sandpaper ok?
what about adding veneer in to a round edge of the same type of board
Could I use veneer edging on a more rough edge like chipboard/particle board? Or would the glue not be sufficient for a good bond, since the cut surface of chipboard is usually not as flat as plywood or solid wood?
Iron-on veneers will work fine on chipboard. Surprised that nobody replied to you on this before today…
What if you don’t have an iron? 😬
Nice!
Use old blunted file and file down at an angle and you won't miss chunks like you did and you can just tear into much faster..
And as shown on this video Don't be afraid to put your file on it and you need to lay your piece flat down on the table which you standing over it fall left to right it's much easier and then you flip your piece and do the other side it's much easier one shelf or one upright less than 30 seconds then it's time for stain or paint
What about using trimmer machine?
Thanks
Better than all the trimmer gimmicks on market
Prefer to use edge banding tool. Costs about $10 but worth it.
Great video - probably would be a little more helpful if you completed the job and showed us how to use alcohol. Excellent job.
No problem! :))
Thank you!
Don't use your wife's iron. Go down to Goodwill and buy your own for $3.
Просто используйте угольник для обрезки
When I think about how many thousands of feet of that stuff I've applied.....
Do it with quarter sawn oak with no backing now 🤣
Not a good way to do that.
