CamfireTalk - Thanks. I was similar to you that marquetry didn't do much for me. It is a fascinating process and now I am enjoying it more and appreciating learning about its history and techniques.

I've never tried any marquetry mainly because it doesn't light my fire. But I do appreciate good craftsmanship. What I enjoyed about this video mainly was a look at your workbench and shop. I really enjoyed setting up shop when we bought our house. I can get a little O.C.D. when it comes to shop layout.
