re: Learning Veneer Hamering- First Baby steps

That came out perfect Abbas. I am also pretty new at this, but it is my understanding that the real purpose of toothing is get the surface level rather than to provide a better glue bond. If you believe this as I do, then it isn’t necessary to tooth plywood which is already flat. There might be different opinions on this, but my glue-ups have gone very well without the toothing on both ply and MDF. I would tooth if I were using solid wood instead as total flatness is far from guaranteed even after planing. I am also thinking that another way to tooth a surface wether ply or solid would be to run it through your drum sander with 80 grit on it with one pass sideways and one pass lengthwise. A lot easier and faster than doing it by hand, and I would think, more accurate too.

I won’t be surprised if you are wary of my opinions here as I am far from well experienced with either veneers or veneering, but I thought it might give you something to think about and maybe experiment with. It’s always great to save time and work, especially on big projects.
