Leather Veneer experiment

[@ktulu193]

Joey: "I wanted a 3-way mitre look, but didn't want to put in the work." *Puts in the work*

[@kurtfattig9370]

8:58 - "Which I don't have video of, because it's a shambles, and I don't want to show it to you". Joey, I love watching your videos because you are so well composed and easy going. Very nice work.

[@dBassCline]

Joey, you have taught me so much in the last few years! I really appreciate you and you work!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Hi Joey, I found your channel doing a search for gluing leather to wood for a chess table I'm working on. You do nice work! Just subbed.

[@Bikeeast]

Turned out awesome Joey! Great that you are expanding your skills with doing the metal work yourself.

[@PassionforWoodworking]

I like it Joey. Nice work. These kinds of off the cuff builds are my favorite to do and it sounds like you enjoy them as well.

[@samuelb6960]

Looks awesome I like the legs attached to the side. I think I might try the leather idea for a coffee table top.

[@Kraftmade]

Fantastic! It’s always my favorite when I get to watch and when I am limited by materials for a project. That’s when the crazy cool stuff comes out!

[@g00thier]

When veneering leather I like to color the panel with a sharpie where a seam or an edge will sit. it does indeed stretch from the contact adhesive but it will shrink afterwards. I had better results using a different type of glue that I believe was meant for carpet. (the leather supplier helped out on which glue to use). Nice work!

[@FixitFingers]

Was very interested to see this after hearing you chat about it on the podcast this week. Great looking piece, the leather and brass work well together.

[@scottbramley1778]

Hey Joey, Yet another great video & beautiful piece of craftsmanship! Next time you do the leather if you router/leave a 1mm gap round the edges you can just force the leather into it.

[@davidshaper5146]

My scrap and crop projects usually don't turn out like that. Nice work and design!

[@jcsrst]

As usual a beautiful piece! I find some of my best pieces happen when I use scrap and don't really have a plan. Love it!

[@nathansilver9190]

Well done Joey, I hope 2021 is fantastic for you and yours.

[@jbb5470]

Turned out great Joey! I like the use of leather here. Nice to be able to combine different materials. I need to think outside the box more :^)

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Looks like a winning experiment to me. It's a bloody nice piece! 👍👍👍

[@chrismul8337]

like the leg design

[@clydedecker765]

We all learn by doing. And I like your doing!! Maybe not a long term piece but I like it.

[@IntelWond]

Great work, Joey! I've gained a lot of inspiration from your videos.)

[@my520graj]

Beautiful and unique. Well done mate.

[@delightwithgabby6497]

Que usaste para pegar el cuero ?

[@xedasxedas]

Joey, love the modesty but it turn out really great looking. The contrast between leather/wood/brass and the design looks real "expensive".

[@yehudaboneh8786]

Very clean , pro and refreshing peace of work. Liked it very much

[@KCGiD]

Cool idea, turned out stunning💪🏻

[@JT-hw6mq]

awesome work.

[@davesatosky5840]

i have probably 25 full hides from a previously failed venture that i've been at a loss as to what to use it for other than lining my bench vise jaws and a few strops.. this is the coolest idea i've seen and i think im ganna have to do some playing with it. i wonder how this will look 10 years from now, could go either way as i can see it either being nice and worn in, or looking like total shit and wondering why the heck i ever built it lol.. only time will tell.. good idea man and your a better man than me because not only do you have cool ideas but you execute them and film them and show me all for free.. thanks

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Ha cheers, my only recommendation would be to glue the leather to really thin ply then glue that into the panel . That way it would fit perfectly with no trimming required. Have fun!

[@davesatosky5840]

@@KingPostTimberWorks could probably just glue the entire hide to a sheet of plywood and cut it on the table saw, you got so many ideas going in my head now. Your wonderful for sharing what you do and its inspired a stranger on the opposite side of the world!

[@yourfriendlycook]

A really handsome piece

[@angelaslaney1514]

What I've learnt over the years is the importance of getting the sequence of operation right. Seeing that you have a press, why not treat the leather as you would a veneer? And apply it first? You won't like the legs in a week or so...

[@Bikeeast]

I was thinking the same thing, glue the leather on oversized panels, then cut to final. There is also edge treatments for leather to deal with the fuzzies and colour differences.

[@hakamrauf1924]

How much the money...

[@vandammethierry]

Jolie realisation

[@totobill22]

Très joli, je verrai bien ça sur une layette d'horloger.

[@julianlech8505]

Very cool. Will the leather shrink or expand with weather changes?

[@pachting]

Nice!

[@Forbidden303]

She's a beauty!

[@hans1163]

👍

[@SMee67]

Looks shit hit, mate! 🤙🏽

[@aaronharris5275]

What no crown guards on the table/ dimension saw. Its going to nip you one day.

[@kevingerald8286]

Great result from a scrap wood (and other its) challenge Joey 👍

[@tool79]

Nice!

[@davecurda2350]

Merry Christmas mate

[@WonderfulSkills]

Good

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Stoked it came together. The stretching really didn't look that bad

[@chakireladraoui9331]

👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤👍❤

[@routleyc]

What was that hardware you used for the drawer divider plywood pieces? I've been woodworking most of my life and haven't ever seen that. Pretty slick!

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Very nice, looks like a fun project . . . maybe not so if it was for an actual commission. Cheers.

[@garryevans3594]

very nice the leather gives a warm setting for stuff around the shop

[@caeeylots]

Well this night just got much better. Love Joey experiment projects.

[@fabienlegall1199]

I’m pretty sure this project turned out perfect only because of the mahogany left over 😜

[@sephalon1]

I'm sorry if you said it in the video - I missed it if you did: What did you use to adhere the leather to the plywood? Normal epoxy?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

I used contact adhesive

[@breakingwavecustomwoodwork8683]

Nice work, very attractive piece!

[@Pete-z6e]

Like it,nice.
