rjweb Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 I just received an email from Philadelphia furniture workshop, and they are offering a marquetry class that runs for a weekend if anyone interested. I was originally from that area, RJ https://www.philadelphiafurnitureworkshop.com/project-classes/the-art-of-marquetry OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 It's all in knowing what you're doing. I've never seen a vacuum press like that. I wonder how it seals around the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I watched the video. Very interesting and well done even tho I couldn't understand the audio. Way out of my league. I barely have bench space big enough for scrolling so I don't have any use for another hobby as interesting as it is. Even walking around my shop is difficult so I roll around and I use a walker to get to my table saw. About as much hobby as I can handle.

Scrappile Posted April 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Watched, isn't the "packet" type of marquetry? If so it is the easiest example of it I have been able to understand... And for the small stuff like I would do,,, my wife has a kitchen thingy to vacuum pack items to freeze.. I really think it would work for something like that....I don't know, but I would think so.. ho hummm I ordered his book...

rustynail Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 You don't need a vacuum press table to glue the project like in the video and yes Scrappile it is the packet type cutting that I had stated about as being one of the easyest to do...
