Only 1ft sq area can be done using this technique? So if i want to veneer a table top of 5 x 2 fts i need a different technic? Can you pls point me in the right direction?
If you don't have a router you can finish the edges of the veneer with a piece of sandpaper on a block. A block sander. With a fine grit, something like 180. Using downwards strokes, just sand on a very slight angle to start, against the edge of your board. This eventually grinds the edge of the veneer down quite flush and makes for a very smooth edge. Remember, Slow and steady wins the race. Without the router, you're just looking at the cost of the glue and sandpaper, and you can probably find an old iron second hand just about anywhere if you don't already have one.
cool technique.. Completely new learning for me, thanks a bunch for sharing.
That was really nice. Great explanation. Curious about one thing I may have missed: did you have the iron set to steam or no-steam?
hey nice video, thank you for posting. Why can't you use that tecnique in a area bigger than 1 square feet? is there a reason for that? thank you!

Could I use just about any brand of wood glue? Is there anything special about Titebond?
im sure any wood glue will work, gonna try it right now with lepages
Why titebond 3 can’t be used?
Nice
Wow!
Easy. Except for the $100 worth of specialty tools!
