I was a laminate technician for years. My favorite material for keeping the laminate and the surface separate before contact was Venetian blind slats. Easy to stack and transport. Nice and low so you could line up the surfaces. Try it and you'll like it!
Oh, I’ll have to give that a try at work.
My boss 30 years ago used them also but I love 1/2 poplar dowels
In my old shop we used to use metal pencil rods for the apprentices to support laminates when gluing up full 4'×8' sheets. After a lot of practice, we all learned how to lay full sheets without any "stickers".
Nice! I always used dowels, but have used regular trim pieces, even those cheap plastic trim pieces like quarter round works too.
I was shown that trick a coule of decades ago, after using other random sticks and paper. I still have the same set of Venetian blind slats that I found at the dump way back then. They have been used dozens of times over the years, without fail. Just make sure they are wiped clean of dust and junk before use.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos czcams.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
When scoring the laminate, put the straight edge on the side you want to save and cut with the waste end exposed, that way no matter if you miss or not, you wont scratch the side you want to keep.
Yeah, good rule of thumb for pretty much all scoring, cutting, and even marking (especially with a marking knife).
I was thinking the same thing
Also I like to clamp my straight edge. Nothing worse when scoring and the straight edge suddenly moves.
@@JayDee-xj9lu In his case, he's using a saw guide. Those things hold pretty well. Good advice either way though.
Watching those mitered corners perfectly come together is IMMENSELY satisfying
This video is really giving laminate a better reputation. Great info Jason. Enjoyed this one!👍👊
I followed your instructions and did a good job first time. My wife actually commented favourably and I am now not completely useless.
If anyone else attempted these intros it would kill me! But with you my friend, it never gets old.
to me, this is the absolute model for what a woodcraft how-to should be. clear, simple, full context, sketch diagrams, fun presentation, outstanding outcome. tyvm
I love the new gear! I had to Stop when I Saw your new table saw! Harbor Freight's been stepping up their game, it seems.
Love your Harbour Freight Table saw. 😉 Nice table saws Station. 🇨🇦
Yes wonder where he got such a nice saw at harbor freight? 🤔
Never seen Jason this serious before, , , , , , just saying. - another great vid 👍
Jason, great and informative video. Scoring the laminate before you chamfer is unnecessary. Just hit it with a flush cut bit w/bearing, then the chamfer. Also you can totally run the router in a normal direction (against the rotation for better control) without worrying about any chip out. I worked in a laminate shop for almost 8 years and layed thousands of linear feet of laminate, never had an edge chip out with a flush cut or running against the rotation of the motor on a router. Also, LOVE your "Harbor Freight" table saw!
As a question for you: if I were going to make some channels in the top, say for t-track, would it be better to pre-cut those and fit the laminate in sections, or can you use a router to make the grooves in place after installing the top?
I concur. i performed many sins with no chip out.
@@PFoxen i, an expert since i did this once, would say once glued, pretend its one with the wood its covering. I would not make panels but route right through. This stuff routes very nicely.
I was thinking of using this for my workbench but wondered how it would go with drilling all the dog holes?
I ended up using the Ujk parf jig, it was really easy and there was no chip out on any of the wholes.
I was a laminate Jedi master for 49 years before getting my doctorate in laminate scoring and I have a pro tip. Keep doing what you’re doing
we bow before you, Master.
Great job showing the basics of laminate installation. There are many ways to do this, and lots of tips and tricks.
I switched to using water based contact cement a long time ago. 3M makes one that is top notch. Very little odor, and very strong. I did my kitchen counters in 2007, and they still look good as new. I have done several workshop surfaces as well, with zero long term issues. I even did a bunch of small tops in a mobile coffee shop/school bus. All in bright yellow, and all of it survived heavy daily abuse.
One more thing, I always use white or yellow for workshop surfaces (outfeed tables, extension wings, etc.). You can write notes on them while working, and easily wipe them off later. I use the scraps to make note pads that glue to the side of my tape measures, too.
good to know about the 3m stuff. i have laminate-like finish sheets to lay on a kitchen island to finish the sides. also, my cabinet toe kick covers are the same. i may look into this to adhere them vs. construction adhesive/pin nails
That there is an absolute unit of a table saw system especially with that big ol’ harbor freight saw😂
I noticed that too. Didn’t know HarborFreight made quality table saws. 😆
That’s a Grizzly 1023 not a harbor freight
Harbor Freight certainly did not sell that saw!
Of course it's Harbor Freight, didn't you see the label?
@@ewetuber186000 The other saw Jim, the one with the big green and black Harbor Freight label under the blade height adjustment wheel.
Jason, you make life better. Thank you.
This was fantastic! I just made a shop drawer base and used laminate surface. It went over without a hitch thanks to you and this video!
I think "Mr. Bourbon Moth" needs to build a bourbon bar for the shop..or house, where ever the misses prefers you drink....with all the cabinets you've been doing, it will fit right in..come on, build a bar!
I definitely concur. We want to see a bar built.
BAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!! 😂
Shuffle Board table needs a friend.
🤚 put my name down for the bar build vote
I agree with Torrence Carpentry. That way he could do more videos on some fantastic bourbons for us to indulge ourselves in.
Went through the whole Harbor Freight Website. I couldn't for the life of me find that snazzy black table saw that you are showcasing! I guess they aren't selling that saw any longer
I like how you trimmed out the top with the maple then installed the laminate. Usually I see people adding the hardwood trim at the end, but this way gives a nice smooth work surface and a more modern look. I like it!
Yes and since the laminate lays over the edge, there is no joint on top between the self-edge and the laminate top. Keeps out dust and spilled beverages, both hot and cold. ;-)
the "binging with babish" of woodworking. love your stuff
Aah, the return of the Harbor Freight Stop Saw!
Love the Harbor Freight logo.
that harbor freight saw is sexy AF. They've really upped their game.
@20:45, I didn't know you were fluent in Russian. Neat!
Great tutorial. Very thorough and well explained. Keep up the great work!
Outstanding video and narrative! I have been wanting to add this to some of my tops and now you have given me the confidence to give it a try! Thank you for posting
Jason…love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips!
You forgot to mention how crazy sharp laminate is. I was scrolling through CZcams and saw your post and I was like "Oh Jason is on! Missed his sorry butt !" Seriously man, I can binge watch your videos. Long time ago a land far far away I used to restore antique radios with hubby. I did both, electrical and the wood working part. Those days the was no CZcams only internet. I wish I could have watched these kind of videos back then..... I still miss my table saw and my tools.
Sweet! Great job as usual. Love your videos. Both entertaining and informative.
Another mighty fine video. Awesome work, can’t wait for the next one 👌👌👌
Brilliant! You are doing some of the most useful and entertaining content in the woodworking CZcams community. I just broke ground on a new shop and I’ll be laminating like a mad man! Nice job!
to me it was one of the best. I like all of your videos, but especially this one. thanks.
Nice work Jason, I really like the island work area you made. Have a great day.
Keep up the good work i enjoy watching your projects and learning at the same time super informative so thank yoy for that from the UK
You are absolutely hilarious to watch and very knowledgeable. I love watching your videos.
this vid showed up just when i needed it, thank you
I think this was one of your best videos. Nicely done very informative
As a 50 year + woodworker, who has had the cutting tool wander away from the straight edge occasionally. I started measuring to the far side of my straight edge. So that if an error occurs, the wandering cut is in the scrap and not in the protected finished piece. Nice pipes! Your voice and the clamps!
This is likely the best of your videos that I have watched, and I've watched a bunch. Thanks.
Great detailed video. Thank you for carefully sharing every step.
This is the best video I have seen you do. Jason this was great and very helpful, plus you actually had safety gear on while doing it.
Everything you do is so perfect! Gives me a target!
great tutorial, that unit looks epic, the whole table saw area is unreal, nice work as always Jason.
Beautiful job. Great tips. Really. Please continue to educate and inspire.
This was such a good video. I always appreciated your prior videos, your builds are awesome, your personality is amusing, BUT you have a great sense of humor and therefore your videos are fun to watch as you learn and are entertained. I really never gave you credit as a good instructor and this video highlights that BONUS skill you posses. Would really appreciate more videos like this one, you knocked it out of the park on this one. Please keep it up, take care and have a good one 🖐
Excellent tutorial! Thanks. I liked the "working from the middle" tip 👍
Jason, your the master of "Pro Tips". Great video buddy, I enjoy each and everyone of them.
the green flannel is amazing! well done Sir!
Great video - perfect explanation! I am going to do some laminating this weekend! Thank you!
My grandfather was a carpenter when Formica first came out and we still have alot of stuff with formica around the house. I love it especially with a wood finished edge!!!! Easy to clean resilient and looks nice
Yours is my favorite woodworking channel.
Great video. Great instruction. Thank you for the step by step. Great looking shop !
Both entertaining and informative. Always great tips
A really fitting sponsor to this nice and educational video of yours. Thanks for the insights
This is the first time I watch this channel and I love it.
Very thorough, informative and direct.
I have been woodworking for a while but I always learn something new here. Thanks for explaining everything so well!
Very very informative kind of video. I learned a lot from this. Thank you Jason. May you and your family stay safe and healthy always.
What a great video. I learned a lot and had any fear of doing it decreased immensely. Thanks a lot. Cindy
Love your tips here and there within the video. Beautiful table saws setup at the center of the your shop. Subscribed!
Easily one of the best channels on CZcams. Entertaining and informative at the same time. Thanks bro!
That was awesome. I like the black with the super light wood color.
You took me to the late 70's early 80's when I learned woodworking with my uncle in Puerto Rico. We used to do kitchen cabinets and laminated them with Formica brand. Great memories. You did an awesome job!!!
That was very informative, thanks. All the little details about the potential hiccups were great.
Very informative, and your personalized segments of you watching Skillshare videos on your sponsor spot was hilarious. Thank you. 🤣
Love the way you bring your stuff, education and some crazy actions
envoled, learned some, knew some. You bring it the right way thnx
Johan from Belgium
Outstanding Video. Your video has inspired me to go this direction. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
Great lesson taught to us! You did a great job of taking the "mystique" out of laminate installation! The helpful tips were useful too! Thank you
Great Video Jason! Also love you relabling of he sawstop as harbor freight!
Great Video! Thank You. I am getting ready to laminate shop furniture this week.
Just did one of my tables and turned out great. Was always nervous about it but your video killed it
That’s perfect timing. I’m laying laminate for the first time at Monday. Thank you!
Great video! You have an awesome way of explaining things 😀.
Excellent video. Thank you
Excellent demonstration and instructions.
Working on my new combo Miter bench/Outfeed table this weekend, gonna use this
Appreciate your work!
Those miter tips were super helpful and informative!
Loved the video, lots of information
Superb 100% demonstration & explanation ..Thanks for this video man..Great job and finish !
Subscribed to Kevins world!!! looking forward to see his exciting content!
Thumbs for the introduction alone!
WOW, a great "monster" worksurface now, the laminate process is spot on, love the cabinet work..
Simply the BEST entry to date. The slide and prat fall was AWESOME. Oh and the table was cool too. 😉😂
Outstanding❤. Thank you for the great laminate tips!!!
Love the content bro! Gotta give you 2 out of 5 stars on laminate though. I'm a production carpenter and there's no time for the extra care and effort, and especially time, you put into the laminated tops. What you really want to do is cut the laminate an inch or more longer on all sides and forget the cheat sticks on a top that small. Grab it, bend it, stick your long edge and roll it on by hand. Also, a 1/4" flush trim bit, cheating your fence/deck of your router up off the surface a bit, will provide a cut you can file back. That is, to laminated banding. Even if you have a hardwood band that you use a chamfer or roundover or whatever bit, it needs filing or back bevel sanding. Hope I can help you in return. I've learned a thing or two watching your vids. Thanks bro.
Thanks, I followed the instructions and worked fine with my project
Very informative. Especially liked the way to remove laminate as wasn't aware you could remove anything after using contact cement. Learned something useful. Thank you.
I really needed to watch this before I applied laminate.
This was golden.
Thanks, man!
Love your presentation very informative and entertaining.
Excellent ! Very informative ! I have been watching and thinking what I should laminate first.
I like to turn segment objects which requires lots of gluing. Very motivating video. Lots of ideas.
Thanks.
Good instruction. Love the Harbor Freight label over the Saw Stop logo on the saw. Hilarious!
Great job showing how to do the basics. Well done, I'm definitely subscribing.
I luv this man , so crazyyyyy and real
