Hi Nancy. Thanks so much for the kind words. I will be making more videos soon as well as a series of veneering articles in Canadian Woodworking magazine.

Hi Nancy. Thanks for saying so. Glad it helped. More to come…

Thanks for watching. The slats are the thickness of the blade around 1/8" thick and the widths are 1/2". I usually make them about 30" long and cut as required. Thanks

Thanks very much for watching. I’m glad it helped.

Yes, not an issue at all.

Thank you. Sometimes silence is more than enough…

Hmmmm...interesting question. Not sure as I almost always use raw veneer. However, thinking about it not sure why you would need to soften paperback stuff. It should be fairly easy to work. Try it and let me know how it goes. Thanks Steve

Hi Sean. Thanks for watching. Commercial softener is good for around 48hrs after the process. If you don't get to it by then you can always soften again. Nothing bad can happen from doing it again. Thanks Steve

@@theblackwalnutstudio how much pressure is required like a minimum? as i am trying to get into marquetry would there be any further processes that need to be done in preparation?

Thank you very much. I appreciate that

Thanks so much! You’ve made my day. I’m glad you’ve tried veneering and it seems you find it as awesome as I do. What are you working on now? Thanks Steve

Thanks for watching and taking another minute to sharing your comments.

Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it and for some info out of it. Made my day!

That’s very nice! Thanks back from Canada!

Lmao! Love it!

@titebond does it all mon ami!

Hehehehe!!!

Lol…me too! …but now I’m thinking if maple syrup. 😁

Thank you!

Hello Tomas. I’m happy they are teaching you a thing or two. Stay safe

Thanks Jonathan. Looking forward to seeing the project!

Thanks very much Glen. Have a great day!

Thanks very much Glen. Have a great day!

Thanks Vic!

Thanks Pat! More to come…

Thanks so much for saying that Kevin! Made my day!

Thanks very much Glen!

Thanks Bryan! Much appreciated!

Thanks Kevin. I appreciate the kind words!

Lol. Thanks Ned!

Hi Trevor. Yes , it will "stick" to the veneer after softening however, you will need to let the veneer dry a bit no matter what glue you are using. I typically apply the softener then place it in between sheets of clear newsprint for about 24 hours changing the newsprint as needed. Hope that helps.

Hi Ricardo. Thanks very much for the kind words. You're most welcome. I 'm glad it helped.

HI Gerald. Thanks for watching my video. As far as changing the blade whenever I start making the strips I switch to a rip blade which makes cleaner cuts as compared to my combination blade. My rip blade is a Freud with 32 teeth and is specifically for ripping.

Thanks very much!

Thanks

Don’t get me started 😃! Thanks Vincent.

Hi Glen. In the other video I was making iron on veneer. Basically you apply PVA glue to both the veneer and core then use an iron to apply it. In this one it is a vacuum bag and you only need it on the core. Thanks for the kind words and for watching it. I hope that helped.

Oh...I forgot...that is in part two of the video...LOL! I thought about edging it but then decided since it's a shop thing I thought seeing a bit of baltic birch is ok. Thanks for watching Glen. I appreciate the kind words...and the laugh!

Hi Glen. Thanks for watching. Those are great suggestions. I’ll be making another video soon and will add those for sure. Thanks.

Hi Linda. Thanks very much. Do you mean the sharpening jig or the kumiko blocks?

Ummmm…ok…I think…

Ummmm…oh…you weren’t supposed to see that…Thanks Pat.

😂😂😂

I knew you liked the "only shop sounds" vids. Thanks Pat!

Hi Martin. Thanks for watching. I don’t actually apply softener twice. I ended up changing the newsprint twice, and sometimes even 3 or 4 times, so that the veneer dries. I don’t want to press wet veneer. Using commercial softener this will stay soft and pliable for about 2 days after drying.

If I can help some more please let me know.

@@theblackwalnutstudio oh ok. So just to make sure it dries fully, thanks.

@@koalafan1576 Yes. That’s right! You’re welcome

@@theblackwalnutstudio do I have to straighten the entire piece or can I rough cut the pieces I want to use and do I always have it soften and flatten? Do I need the roller they sell or can I just glue without that? I’m starting from scratch with few tools.

Thanks Ron. It’s really a very nice and relaxing process

Thanks David. I appreciate that. I'm going to convert my spare room into a "Shellac Room". Temperature, humidity, biometric and dust controlled.

Thanks Vic!
