Curious how the mill keeps the cutting blades sharp. Hope you can help.

@@merlesking Honestly not sure. But I remember if there was any imperfection in the log like a pebble or staple it would damage the blade and leave marks in the veneer. And they would have to go over and smooth out the blade and possibly replace it if it was bad.

I saw that too and thought how dangerous that was.

oh well... such was the 80s :)

Julia Anderson Many dangerous :(

Lol, the veneer place I just started working at instantly states tie back any long hair as one of the first things on the safety page... wonder why :p?

So It wasnt just me. every1 noticed dat

@@prasanthn2 Nope, made me cringe immediately too.

Exactly what i scrolled to the comments to say.

One blad lasts maximum 1 day :-) But sometimes they need to be resharpened even in the middle of a log if there is a particularly sharp thing like metal in the log. Saw that in another documentary about this!

watches video then becomes an expert

Has AI replaced the human labor in the veneer plant yet? Question from Taiwan Big thanks

Maybe in this factory there are not things falling on your head like in America.

same way as the other ones, there's little nail head looking things that poke into the wood a bit, and a vacuums sucking the log against the surface and holding it to it. I was skeptical of it holding it there too til I started working at a veneer place yesterday XD

Process to make it is more expensive.

the veneers run through a glue curtain (waterfall of glue) on a production line before they are stacked and pressed.

They soak the logs in wood

+george scarlett was watching full screen and closed it to make the same comment and see yours, lol. scary, reminds me of the end of temple of doom

+Ronnie Jenzen Temple Of Doom or, No Hair To Groom!!! I worked with a 2nd shift Forman named Wayne, that before I met him heard him referred to as "Dent Head"! I failed to see the significance of the nick name until I was formally introduced to him. Whaddaya know, right there on his forehead was the near-perfect indentation of a good sized Lathe Chuck Key!! I nearly lost it!! At the time it seemed humorous, but it was actually a sad situation. Rotating objects under power have neither sympathy, nor "scruples"! Gb bg

Veneer

depends on what wood veneer you wish to buy

yeah ive noticed it to, 100 hair strands can make a difference to roll in that machine.

If I did something like this, I'd fire myself the same day (being a guy with long hair).

I'm sure her hair was just out for the video, she was wearing ass show off jeans too. She was probably disappointed that they didn't show her face. This video is old though, I used to dress like that on the job during the 80's and 90's. I'm a long haired dude to this day. These days, i keep it tucked in a hat.

1965?? Try 1995.

eh an wood is generly a very good matterial there is a reason why high luxury apartments still use lots of wood even when they could financialy switch to plastic and metal

Don't buy Woodprix, it's a con.
