The Secret To Getting Flat Veneer Panels. Another Basic Veneering Techniques Video

I have advised countless numbers of woodworkers and crafters on using wood veneers for their projects. No matter how complex or simple of a woodworking project it's still just getting the veneer stuck flat to the surface.
30 plus years ago I started working with veneers. I struggled and struggled to get good results. Frankly I learned a whole lot about what not to do when working with veneers.
I just couldn't get the veneered panels to be wrinkle free and flat as I expected. I wasted a whole lot of veneer and plywood learning to get it right.
With that in mind I have created this video to demonstrate how you can obtain great results with a minimum of tools and materials.
Watch the video and if you have questions please reach out to me. I'm happy to advise on selecting and using a raw wood veneer for your next woodworking project.

Hey Tom, really good primer. I've just started veneering, and I've purchased some of your veneers and was extremely satisfied with the quality and price. Thanks for posting.

Efficiency type of guy here, why not glue both sides at once? Is that for trimming reasons?

[@volpewoodworks9286]

I agree it would be more efficient to layup both sides at once and save time. For the novice veneer user the physical process of getting the adhesive spread on both surfaces, aligning the veneers and then getting it under clamps could extend past the 'open' time of the adhesive. Making it a two step process until you have more experience keeps it simple.
Recently I had a screw up where I bonded the left and right sides of a box at the same time and didn't see the veneer on the right side slipped out of alignment. PVA adhesive is slicker than snot on a door knob.

​@@volpewoodworks9286this makes sense. It's possible, just more risks involved. Thanks for the insight!
