Adding a ROUNDOVER to Plywood Corners - Corner EDGEBANDING with splines
I'm in the middle of a project where I am using walnut plywood... I changed the design and I wanted to add a big 5/8" roundover to all the corners, so I had to come up with a plan to hide the exposed ply! Let me know if you think I succeeded!
Huge thank you to WOODCRAFT for sponsoring me and my channel. I love all my Woodriver planes and chisels, you can find them here -

I can't express how much I love your explanations and the measure twice, 'make a test one', then cut approach is just so great!
Glad to hear!
It's a really nice piece and I like that you address a common issue that comes up in many carpentry projects: namely that things change. If I could point out two small things: the issue of your one corner piece not being consistently proud along the full length of your top board is most-likely due to your spline being slightly too thin and allowing the corner piece to drift back in the gluing process. (I know you did that on purpose for more glue area but you could probably dial it back a bit.) The other thing I might suggest is that you should clean up all the excess glue with a damp rag right after you clamp! You'll have FAR less sanding before you go to finish and that means less chance of sanding through your veneer, which was one of your concerns going into your decisions before the glue up. Looks like the final piece came out very nice!
I agree on a wipe down before it dries. Naturally I like learning things the hard way but learn that one I have lol.
I love how you try new things. And are always learning!
Incredible attention to detail and how you think ahead. Wonderful training and thank you so much for sharing your ideas and thoughts as you move through this - it is so valuable!
Love how you added that piece at end so you wouldn't get blowover at the end with the router. People should practice that . I learned the hard way. Man I need to make more videos . I shoot out about 2 to 3 projects a week but never video them or get paid. Usualy for family and friends and ofcourse I donate stuff for worthy causes and charities .
Glad you liked it! And if you started filming them you would drop production down to one every 3 weeks..... filming my projects triples the amount of time I work on them
@@3x3CustomTamar I honestly thought making videos would add more than 3x the amount of time. I would think it totally breaks your flow
Congratulations.
@@3x3CustomTamar i kind of stopped because of all the trolls. Hard enought to deal with stuff happening in my life than to read real bad negative stuff. I do have them made just need to finalize and ill post
@@FranksDIY I never let the trolls get to me. I know if someone is taking time out of their life to put negativity into the world there is something wrong with them….
Love watching you design and problem solve!🥰
Awesome to hear because I like doing it. Ha
I'm late to your channel and have been enjoying all the content you have been providing. This video in particular is going to save me buckets of tears for an upcoming project I'm working on. It's a great idea and it looks fantastic too. Thank you!
I like your attention to details, and the fact that you're not afraid to show any mistakes either. Nice, down-to-earth video!
I sincerely appreciate you letting us learn techniques like this alongside you. This was a really cool way to solve your problem that really adds to the look of the piece. Keep up the great work!
Glad you like it!

Wow, that's a super nice looking edge! I might give that a try on one of my next projects.
Thanks! It was fun to figure out!
I just absolutely enjoy seeing your process. You show your process of deciding and problem solving and I like it. I'm learning!!
"But, we're here now" Just brilliant.
I’ve been keeping the concept of a pair of nightstands on the back burner for quite a while. I couldn’t come up with corner joinery I was happy with. 🤔 Thanks to you, I now have it! Great video! Love your clear and concise explanations and your ‘human’ candidness re mistakes! Thank you!
oooo yeah that would be such a beautiful application of rounded edges!
Your work is great! Even your test pieces look amazing. I was thinking you might have turned them into something else but then you stomped on them 😲 Its always a good idea to test new ideas for strength so in future projects you get a sixth sense as to what will be the best type/style of joint you can use. Thanks for sharing your work. I always feel like I have learnt alot, even if I haven't done anything. Looking forward to your next project!
So awesome to hear. Haha yeah. I had to stomp on them 😂😂😂
Another awesome video! I love how much detail you put in your videos in the actual process of your woodworking. I learn so many little tricks that help me fix major issues I have in my own projects that I never would have thought of!
That’s so awesome to hear! There are so many details that get glossed over in the full build videos. So it’s nice to just focus on one aspect of the build and try to explain as much as I can. Glad you like it!
I love your tutorial videos, sis. It's kinda easy to adapt all your ideas for new woodworking guys like me. Thanks a lot all your infos n guides. I really appreciate it.
Beautiful work! I've never seen an inner & outer round over applied that way before. Very creative. 👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I appreciate that you show the process and the mistakes too!
Glad to hear!

I have to jump in on this comment too, woodworking is all about learning and getting comfortable with new techniques and expanding your repertoire for design sake. You genuinely capture this spirit in every video with your skill and your journeys. I always learn something new.
Jeff Nakama really so awesome to hear. This whole journey has been so amazing to document and I’m so happy you guys are along for the ride
Agreed! That’s me at the end of your video, dropping things and getting glue everywhere! Thank you!😀
This is awesome! I appreciate the durability test as well. I learn so much more from seeing what goes as planned and what doesn’t. Always turns out amazing in the end!
Happy I tested them out as well!
Love your idea! The roundover really adds to the overall look of the project. Makes it very unique. As always, great video and instructions. Looking forward to seeing the project when finished!
Thanks so much! I excited to actually finish it. Ha
Despite fractious, imperial units - yeah, went there - surprisingly easy to follow your process! Thanks so much!
Ha. Thanks
Maravilhoso, adoro seus trabalhos muito bom para nós leigos, cada dia aprendo mais, vc faz tudo parecer tão fácil e prático, um abraço Almir aqui de São Paulo Brasil.
Thanks for the lesson. Love how you point out your slight oversights and find a solution. Take care
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Tamar, great video, as always. And so nice that you show your design process and the alternatives you have considered before making the final choice on design. Can't wait to see the next video and the final result!
So glad you liked it! There’s def a lot more that goes on than what’s in the final build video. So it’s nice to make these detailed videos on one portion of the build
When I glue boards together I take a damp paper towel and wipe off the excess glue, makes clean up easier once the clamps come off BTW love the channel.
Sensacional! Parabéns pelo seu talento, gostaria de ser seu aluno! Kkk
Thanks for this. I’m new to woodworking and trying to learn all I can to get the best results. Videos like this are exactly the type of thing I love! It will make me better when I get to the point of making this type of furniture. You are awesome!
Glad it was helpful! Awesome
You not only succeeded, you knocked it out of the park. Beautiful work, Beautiful Lady,and very smart the way you think things through. You are a pleasure to watch.
That little lip the round over bit left is called a fillet
no no - use hardwood for your splines. and keep them to a press fit so all alignment is spot on - cut grooves slightly deeper than width of spline to allow for relief when gluing and clamping. when i was making tables i would use spline joints for the tops to increase the glued surface area, but nice and tight with relief in grooves. i also used an expanding urethane glue to fill the gaps. awesome work though. keep the projects rolling...
She explained your points in the video. That is why i look at the whole video.
@@beqwaam keep on watching there buddy. you are doing fine.
Great video. Great that you explain not only the woodworking processes but the way you’re thinking out the options.
So glad you liked it!
Good job walking us through your thought process. Looking forward to seeing the project video.
Glad you liked it! I’m excited to finish it up. Ha
I wish I had hair.. I wouldn't keep on loosing my bloody pencil. Great work!
😂😂😂 and get sometimes I still can’t find it
“My kids aren’t going to be able to mess up this project.” -- oh how many times have I said that. I got a 5 and 7 year old. I made a beautiful cedar mud kitchen for them for this summer -- CNC engraved with their names -- I hope it can make it through another summer -- I no longer say that something is child proof. It's child resistant. That's best we can hope for. It's like cell phones with a waterproof rating, it's just a matter of time and pressure.
Hahaha! That is the truth....
Not meaning to rain on your parade or anything but your kids and their destructive abilities are known because you're raising them. Wait until your grandkids visit! With them, you've not had a hand in raising them nor could you possibly imagine their abilities to break the unbreakable. Still wouldn't have it any other way and love when they come to visit :)
Gene LeGate 😂😂
@@genelegate1308 at 5 and 7 I got a ways to go before grandkids. My kids love it when my mom comes to visit, and yes she is constantly impressed when I tell her why I had to fix something because my kids broke it, and always tells me, you and your sister never did that...
@@genelegate1308 You are correct, Gene. The difference for me is that I don't get as angry when my grandkids break something as I did when my kids broke things. That being said, I do prefer to go to my grandkids' house rather than have them come to mine. I wonder why?
I really like your videos. I think you are really natural on camera and a joy to watch! Love the rounded corners swell. :)
Great video. I really like how clearly you explain your thought process and how you don't hide any mistakes. Really helpful, thanks.
Awesome to hear. Thanks!
“My kids aren’t going to be able to mess up this project.” ::cracks fingers:: “Challenge accepted”
😂😂😂😂
Brian P ... obviously kids aren't teen-agers, then. It's when said teen-agers decide "your" tools are "family" tools ... you can guess the rest ...
Grr saw this after i made my comment. You beat me by 30 minutes.
That's exactly what went through my head when she said that and I scrolled down here to type it up and wouldn't ya know it, this was the very top comment!
In UK, "Game on."
Awesome process, and the finished result is terrific. Your attention to detail is 👌 Thank a mil.
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Love the way you show the different ways to approach a woodworking problem. Thank you.
So glad you like it!
I absolutely love the result. Really enjoy watching your experiments... I get so excited when it works out brilliantly 😁👍🏻
Haha! Thanks so much! Me too 😂😂
Great technique. The end product looks like a cool joinery feature, and not at all like you are covering plywood ends! That is a real trick when using plywood, and very effective here. So well done!
You are a great teacher and I really cannot believe with very rudimentary equipment you do such a great job. Many in their videos assume that we have hundreds of thousands of dollars like them equipment. Thanks
I am utterly loving your skill progression. and learning at the same time by watching your videos! This is a really nifty technique that I am going to use in the near future. Bravo.
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
I just found your channel, and this is me finding my candy land. Love the channel, feeling inspired to at least attempting one easiest woodworking project seeing you solve this problem. Hopefully one day I am not limited by fear, poor knowledge or space constraints
Awesome to hear!
Thank you for sharing. As a fellow appreciator of the small details, I can tell you that while it seems small, the little details make all the difference.
Looks amazing 👍 I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who changes things mid project. Love your videos and thanks for the great ideas.
Thanks! That’s how all projects go. Ha
I love your projects and your natural way of showing the things that happens in real life.
So awesome to hear!
As ever, love your work. I think others have said something similar, but I really appreciate you sharing what you tried along the way that didn’t work. It enriches your content immeasurably.
So awesome to hear! There’s a lot that goes into all these builds that hard to fit into a 15 minute video. So I’m glad you guys appreciate the super focused videos
Just found your channel, and glad I did! I love that chamfer trick to true up the edges. I have never seen anyone do that, but it makes so much sense.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
you're so smart and thoughtful about building. love the prototyping
It’s always fun to figure this stuff out
I am a big fan. What can and old guy ask for when watching woodworking video's. Your cute, funny, pleasant, and a good woodworker. Total package. Keep up the good work!
Its a long video, but watching this is like hearing a lecture in wood working. Beautiful explanation. i learnd many things. Thanks Tamar. You can starting teaching in college.
Haha glad you liked it
Great video, I really appreciate that you took some time to solve the mystery of curved corners on a plywood cabinet, thank you very much.
So glad you liked it!
As a new person to woodworking I enjoy everything you put out for us to learn and grow!! Fabulous Job!!
Awesome to hear!
Absolutely brilliant. Good work. 👍
I love this idea Tamara. I will totally use this round over and filler piece when I use 3/4” or 1/2” or whatever thickness of ply wood all thanks to your informative video!😊👍Thank you so much!👏👏👏👏😊👍
love your thinking process, how you spotted the problem, found an elegant solution and executed it well
Glad to hear! I have a lot of fun figuring this all out ☺️
Just what I needed to see before embarking on a cabinet project. Thank you
Awesome
I jave already built your scrap wood cart so now I might have to try one of these. The walnut looks fantastic.
I love how you breakdown all the steps and share your thinking. Best of all, there are no 'tricking edits (that I can see) to hide (tiny) mistakes. It motivates me to accept my (big) mistakes.
Glad you like it!
It's great that you show your thought/test process. I think you made the right choice with the Walnut hardwood and the project is going to look awesome.
Glad you like it! Looking forward to finishing it up!
Awesome results, your skill set & ability to accomplish high level aesthetics have certainly improved over time
You know what they say about practice... ha! Thanks!
Wow. What a beautiful and functional way to strengthen those mitered corners. Amazing. I love the experiment with the filler piece as well and will be trying both methods in my projects. Thank you for the video!!!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Great video - very helpful. I have looked at that walnut plywood and it is really expensive so I appreciate that you didn’t want to just start over. I think you have a great solution and can’t wait to see the finished project video. Thank you!
Yeah... sticker shock on this stuff was not fun. Ha. Excited to finish it up!
Great job! Thanks for showing and explaining how and why you did it.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I really like your "build" videos but I like these videos as well. Thanks for taking the time to show us your different methods and how they worked. Thanks for taking to time to doing this. Really appreciated it.
So glad to hear that it’s appreciated!
Very creative, Tamar. I love the finished look. I look forward to seeing the finished project.
Thanks so much! Excited to actually finish it. Ha!
Tamar, your ingenuity is worthy of recognition! I hereby wish to bestow upon you the honorary doctorate of PhD in Woodworking from Wood State U(?)! Congratulations Dr. Tamar! BTW, I would have bet a million dollars you would have gone with the contrasting wood! Fortunately, there was nobody to take that bet!
Hahah! Glad for you that no one was around 😂😂
Yes, it absolutely looks good. Well done and thank you.
Thanks! Glad you like it
Oh my.... I can't wait to see the project video for this build. You are an amazing wood worker.
Thanks! I can’t wait to finish it. Ha!
@@3x3CustomTamar Im about to start building furniture for the living room in our new house. The living room set will be an industrial type with an I have no idea what I'm doing look. Going to be steel frame and wood top tables basically. Thinking about making some videos.
Very clever. Which, is the hallmark of your work. I spent quite a while having fun thinking about the different woods that would make different statements in the corners. I agree with your thought of insuring that no one takes it as a failed attempt to create a seamless transition. Entertaining and informative.
Glad you liked it!
the project is super cool. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Thanks! ☺️☺️
Awesome job. I've been using plywood more in my projects and always looking for ways to hide the plys. I will be trying this out. Keep up the great work.
Awesome. So glad it was useful
I am following you some years by now, and see you growing better and better. I think you reached the pinacle. You're now officially a master woodworker. Greets from the Netherlands.
Thanks ☺️ but there is always more to learn ☺️
Thank you very much for doing extra parts, iterations, and testing! I especially like that you are human, and laugh at your mistakes. Yes, I do know you would have protected the plywood against tearout (sp?) on a non-test piece. Thank you for including the testing as well!
Glad you like it! I have a lot of fun doing these experiments!
Well this idea I can use, thank you! I have a stack of birch plywood and assorted hardwoods waiting to be made into furniture and I will definitely be looking closely at variations on this technique. I'll try test pieces with variations on the size of the round-over and using contrasting woods for the edge-joining pieces. Thank you again for the inspiration!
So awesome! Have fun!!
Great solutions to the plywood corner problems Tamar! Learned a lot, you make fantastic content.👍 Thank you!
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much!
I really do like/prefer that look very much. Thanks for showing the how to and a number of variations to have bouncing around in my head... As always, well done! Thanks for sharing...
So glad you liked it. Thanks!
It was amazing, i enjoyed the project. Thanks for trying it.
So awesome to hear. Thanks!
Couple of extra steps really adds to the longevity makimg the extra effort worth it!!
For sure!
Awesome technique looks great and strong!
Tamar your channel is so underrated. You have so much skill and talent. Keep up the awesome work and videos..
Thanks! ☺️☺️☺️
I really enjoy watching your videos, thank you! Really enjoy your fornula and how you go through your process, lessons learned ,etc
Awesome to hear!
marvelous work as ALWAYS
You are such a wonderful teacher! I'm also very glad to see more women bringing their talents to woodworking. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! ✌️
I'm going to do this on my bathroom vanity project.. Thanks for the content
Still constantly amazed at how you are able to figure these things out!!
☺️☺️
Very cool. Really enjoyed seeing your process for this design. Looking forward to the project video
Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to actually finishing it. Ha
Good work and planning Tamar, not many professionals would even have thought that through as you did with the chamfer. Keep on smiling.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing you’re inspiring me to go expand my skills
wow this is something that never occurred to me. I was having a hard time figuring out how to make this round over corner on a coffee table with out much hustle. Really cool techniques, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
It that sort of detail that turns a good piece into a brilliant piece. The result looks fantastic.
Thanks!
Thank you for testing the strength!!! You are awesome
Haha! I had fun doing it 😂
You blow me away every single time I watch you, which I need to do more of because watching Tamar = inspiration! You rock!!!
Haha awesome to hear
I must have missed this vid, very informative and a lot of design possibilities- thanks Tamar.
This feels more about a really nice way of joining plywood at 90° than it does about the roundover. This is a really nice elegant way of joining and hiding the ply, and very strong to boot. Nice one!
Glad you like it!
Yes, I have been woodworking (hobbyist) for 40 years and I love watching your videos. Not sure when I learn something new or if some of it I knew but forgot about. Point is I really love your videos.
So awesome to hear. Thanks!
Great job Tamar. I'd definitely say to chamfer was worth the effort. That transition is so smooth.
Thanks! Yeah. I’m glad I went with it. But it’s totally not necessary
@@3x3CustomTamar so smooth! Lol
An excellent demonstration of this technique. Thanks for sharing, Tamar! Felix
So glad you liked it! Thanks!
Very professional carpentry an presentation. Loved your systematic and analytical approach. Keep it up.
Thanks! ☺️
