Not sure if anyone has read Jason Levinthals interview on blister gear but this photo was in part 2.

absolutely magic!

I'm guessing that thing is heating up the sidewall so it "melts" onto the wood core. (or some type of glue applicator) Interesting bonding technique.

Just google "edgebander"
These machines have been around for decades.
Probably just using hot melt glue.
I used one years ago when I worked in a cabinet shop.
It was just like this...

Pretty good explanation in the video here.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)
