he reminds me of my grandfather, he had a workshop in his garage where he used to make things, and i was a 12 year old standing next to him nailing a random board.
I have the exact wood edging around my counter top. It's oak. I don't like it. I wanted to paint it to accent my counter top. What do you think about that? Thank you!
I have learned a lot from watching you. to bad not in Ohio. it would be a great learning experience to work with you for a day. thank you for your videos
Basic tools and ingenuity. Simple. Sweet. I did purchase the DVDs and have picked up many tips and ideas that I find myself using almost every time in my shop/garage. ATTN: Please watch Bob's New Generation Work Bench UA-cam video. Simply brilliant. I incorporated some of Bob's ideas into my current work bench and it's helped make my limited time in the shop more productive with less frustration and aggravation, and more importantly -- FUN!. When the time is right, I plan to build one. Be well. -Nick
would it not make more sense to laminate the plywood before fixing the wood edge? i'm sure there would be less chance of chipping the laminate that way?
A million thanks for this excellent video! I didn't know before that it was this simple to make a wood edged laminate countertop. This will surely be my guide when making my kitchen countertop. I have a question. If I want to make the wood edge the same level as the laminate, not the 45 degree angle as shown in the video, what should I do to guarantee they are exactly the same level? Much grateful for your reply. Thank you!
+Ann Shr First put the laminate overlapping the wood edge by 1/8-1/4 ". Then take a 1/8" round-over bit and round over the edge That will give you the smallest edge you want. Then lightly sand. If you want less round over, use a straight bit, trim the laminate even and just use a sanding block a little.
This is the style of countertops I have in my current kitchen - I really appreciate better understanding how they were made!

I like the idea of using plastic instead of sticks. I can see it to be much easier to lineup the laminate with the substrate.

+Letstrythatagain15 No, I don't think so. It just wouldn't work.

what bit did you use on the edge bob ? 45?
Yes, I used a 45, but then I hand sanded it to make a smooth edge.
