Inlaying and veneering

[daniemiki]

Very very good...'!!

[budnotu]

Thanks, is it always necessary to veneer the opposite side or is possible to seal it with a liquid sealer ?

[BazCabinetMaker]

@budnotu I would veneer the other side.

1 to cover a cheap wood pine,tulip etc

2 to prevent bowing on a large panel

3 to cover shakes, filler etc

[budnotu]

Did you veneer the inside of the draw?

[BazCabinetMaker]

@budnotu No .The drawer front was mahogany and too small for any bow to occur.I might do the inside if it was pine and I would veneer the top edge of pine.

[budnotu]

It looks like you have a full pot of glue, what is the the length of time that you can use it before it is goes bad?

[BazCabinetMaker]

@budnotu I only turn the pot on the days i'll use scotch.

When it goes crusty and really dark chuck it away.

What a wonderful trade.Great teaching and outcome ty!

I Just got the veneer pot, hammer, etc,, was all excited, and have had nothing but disasters with hide glue...I will say NONE of the 3 books I bought said to get the veneer WET before applying glue. It is especially disasterous when I tape joined peices, then try and glue all at once---my edges lift up and curl. I've tried adding salt, and urea to add working time...that just makes it worse. I WILL try wetting all surfaces first next, but any other suggestions? Ever do joined/taped with hide G?

[BazCabinetMaker]

@ememk123 When scotching don't use tape. Your glue maybe too thin.

Remember veneering takes practice.When I first started I had the same problems as you.

It all takes time.

try something simple first. ( don't run before you can walk )

In the video i'm doing about the easiest thing i could.

Watch my other 2 videos on hand veneering.

@ememk123 Try sawing your own veneers so that you get thicker pieces. They're easier to straighten and flatten and are more stable. Also make sure that your surfaces all mate well and are flat and square. Make sure you use a toothing/grooving plane to ensure increased glue surface on the veneer and substrate. Are you conditioning your veneer pieces and putting them into a press to dry?

What a refreshing woodworking video. So many involve all manner of expensive tools etc. Nice to see no faffing about,in a proper workshop. More woodworking videos like these please. Very informative and enjoyable, Thanks.

[pastorius]

i wasn't interested in veneering, played the vid more-less by accident, but i found myself enjoying every second of it. thanks

[morturn]

This is such a good video; clear, plane speaking, no nonsense. Far better and more informative the some of the other ‘celebrity’ woodworking videos.

I hope you can find the time to do a few more.

[uprightboy]

You are good, sir. I will be watching and learning from you. Thanks!

[woodworks1234]

should veneer tape be used on the edge banding so it won't shrink or just leave it alone,thanks.

[BazCabinetMaker]

@woodworks1234 I would not use any tape on the manufactured inlay used in the video.

When cross banding I sometimes tape the joints to reduce shrinkage, but I would use Newspaper and scotch glue. Scraped off the next day.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers Baz
