 Any good vids out there?  The project at hand is laminating wood binding if that makes a difference...

I'm not sure how to proceed there Thomas. There are no links, just titles.

    I may have figured out what to do, but am not sure. I think some experimenting is in order.I am thinking that my thickness sander is about to come in handy.

   I am still looking for some adult supervision here though...  

Sorry, I thought the search box on that page would direct you. Not... Put this into Google Search "site:luth.org: binding" (minus the quotes) It will give you a list of all the AL publications that have articles on binding.  Cheers.

Kerry, My method involves the old thickness sander. I like to laminate my wood binding in a sheet, usually 6" wide by 36" long and then rip to slightly oversized on my bandsaw. I then run the strips through the Stew Mac binding trimmer to get the dimension I'm looking for, as well as a nice clean and square profile.. I have a large stock of various veneers I use for color lines and will occasionally add a strip of dyed maple if I'm looking for blue or green etc. I'm not aware of any videos on this subject, I learned through experimentation.

 I would love to see a photoessay of how you do all this work, start to finish Eric. Maybe next time you have to do up a batch?  I'll send you a dollar!?
