What happens here
From the remaining plywood, two shelves are cut. A decorative cutout is made on each shelf to accommodate a coffee grinder, kettle, and other small appliances, creating a dedicated coffee station area. Initially, a band saw is attempted for these cuts, but a jigsaw is ultimately used due to issues with the band saw blade. After cutting, iron-on edge banding is applied to all exposed plywood edges. An iron is used to activate the adhesive on the banding, pressing it firmly onto the plywood edge. Excess banding is then trimmed flush using a razor blade. Finally, the edges are lightly sanded with 120-grit sandpaper and a sanding block to create a smooth, seamless finish.
Goal: Two custom shelves are created with unique cutouts for a coffee station, then finished with iron-on edge banding for a professional appearance.
