This was very fun to watch. Lots of potential for sure.

its really cool… but it seems like a LOT of work, for what you could have done with a strip of wood as a fascia.

that strip of wood (edge banding) would be plain, not patterned like this.

but YOU COULD stick it in a Glowforge… and have any pattern / design you want.
PS: notice the guy uses nothing but festool… quality stuff there.

Very interesting indeed.
Love this guy!
The way he showed his mistake and had a good laugh about it, was great. I also enjoyed, and can identify with the band-aid on his finger.

I don’t know how dumb this sounds, but my first thought before actually watching the video was that you were gonna stick a thick board of wood in a Glowforge, with a mirror at a 45 degree angle in front of it, in order to engrave on the edge. Maybe a strip of polished copper/brass as the mirror since it’s a good IR reflector.

I think I would cut the panels like 1/2" smaller in both directions, made the strips 1/4" thick, and use the edge pattern as a feature, instead of veneering the faces.

I’m so glad he’s (mostly) using safety devices. I did cringe a bit with the bandsaw; I’d make a sacrificial pusher stick for that last inch. Major props for the mask & apron/gloves. Love that tablesaw!

I love watching things like this, but would never, ever spend that much time edging my plywood.

Yes, there were several times that fingers were way too close to blades for my comfort level!

As you know I am still a beginner in so many areas… So I guess this is the basic technique in how cutting boards are made? So interesting.
