Mid Century Modern Media Console Built with the Lamello Zeta P2

[@uproarink]

What a beautiful piece of work! I like how you show the complementary use of the Lamello and Domino together.

[@yootoob7048]

I LOVE Mid Century Modern furniture! The knock down fasteners are very discreet which to me is a double benefit. Nicely done, Guy. Lamello Zeta sounds like a dessert, or maybe a drink.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much!

[@juanmallqui9309]

every other week i watch this build again to inspire me to keep pushing and learn everyday, one day when I grow up I want to be like Guy!

[@GuysShop]

Go for it!

[@samsabastian5560]

I'm in Australia and have just bought some swirly walnut veneer from NY State. Taking a long time to get here at the moment. I have been considering the best way to ensure the veneer edges are straight. Must confess have never seen it done the way you did it on a planer - thicknesser. Great idea Guy. Will certainly give that a try. Always enjoy your work.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks!

[@SawyerDesign]

The veneer jointer is awesome. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge here and on IG, Guy! Been listening to the podcast- finally a podcast with useful (and accurate) woodworking.

[@GuysShop]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rknott2006]

One of your best builds to date! Not enough videos on KZbin with veneering. Keep up the great work

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Rob! I love working with veneer.

[@tomlagatol4448]

I’m so glad to have you back! I was just looking at my subscriptions and checking to see if I’d missed anything from your channel....Wonerful vid, as always! Thanks.

While this isn’t my favorite style of furniture it was fascinating watching you make it. I’ve never attempted veneer work but may try some in the future. The piece is outstanding. Guy, you do great work.

[@mcccarpentry6after5]

Thanks so much for detailed video. I’ve learned so much. Especially the 45’ router bit for the waterfall edge. Again thank you

[@GuysShop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TetraCNC]

Wow so the only glue was in the veneer and the doors. That is just amazing and beautiful

[@GuysShop]

Yeah, it was different being able to put it together and then completely knock it down for finishing.

Ive just came across this video, I'm thinking of getting a lamella zeta. Im also into surround sound and hifi so I can appreciate mods in the back to allow for services and heat control. I would like to see it installed with the kit in it.Thanks for build

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much! There are pics of it on my Instagram account.

[@mrklean0292]

Hey Guy, another great demonstration. It was one of your other videos that got me to finally get the Incra TS fence for my Ridgid R45 table saw, which I actually love now that I added the fence. There were several things I saw in this video that had me drooling. I was doing a search for the Lamello Zeta P2 because I wanted more videos on it's functionality. Before this video I only saw the main use of the basic connectors and the basic knockdown connectors in other videos. In this one you showed several things I hadn't seen before. You also answered a question I was wondering about how it would be used in a real world scenario, in particular, if you would possibly need another system to compliment it. Answering that question, you demonstrated using the Festool Domino's knockdowns in areas that you couldn't use the Lamello connectors. I always seem to find your videos a couple of years after you post them. I know I could click on the bell, but if I did that for every KZbin video I like, my phone would never stop sending me notices.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Hi Guy, I hadn’t seen the solid edges under the veneer before this and I love it. Thanks for showing this technique. Would you consider doing this with a paper backed veneer? I’m curious if the edge could look seamless like yours did.

[@ronh9384]

Hello Guy. This is my second time watching this video. The console turned out great and as always your attention to detail is excellent! The Lamello Zeta P2 and the Festool Domino and the Domino connectors really worked well together in this project! I believe I have the same tablesaw you do (Powermatic PM2000) and was curious about the Incra fence system you have on yours. I know you have had yours for some time now and was curious if you are still happy with it and would you purchase one again? I am thinking of upgrading my fence system to one as well. Which length/width? fence did you get? Also are you happy with with your Incra router table and fence system? If I remember correctly you built the the router table base yourself correct? Any changes you would do there? Thanks Guy. Ron

[@Joe-go2vu]

Happy to see you back,Guy. Ive been following you for some time and you have inspired me to dive into veneering after your great walnut dinning table build. Did my own version of yours in cherry. This project was exceptional and offers some great joinery options. One question. Curious why you choose what looked like yellow wood glue instead of the regular veneer glue you and others have used in the past?

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Joe! Since the veneer was 1/16" thick, there is really no danger of the glue coming up to the surface. The thineer commercial veneer can let glue up to the surface, so veneer glue is a better option.

[@DS-cb8zt]

Very good and perfect work. Respect.

[@joeleonetti8976]

Thanks Guy. I enjoyed the video. You had talked about it on the ATG podcast and it was nice to finally see it. Was the choice for walnut veneer driven by wood movement and the desired design? I live on the West Coast and I can get rough sawn walnut for around $4 a board foot so I'm guessing it's not so much a cost issue. Just curious. It certainly a nice piece.

[@kyledobson1607]

Hello, I have a question about the Lamello. Do you think you can use the clamp biscuit connectors (not sure what they are actually called) to glue up wood panels (table tops) without using clamps?

[@paultest4544]

you can with the lamallo Clamex connectors, they are designed to clamp the wood while the glue dries. Could you do it with the lamello knock down fasteners in the video? Honestly, I don't know. The nice thing about the clamex connectors is you don't have that little 6mm hole drilled in (which is needed to get the allen wrench in).. Obviously, the clamex are not made to be taken apart once joined.

[@mattg.5584]

Looks awesome as always. Hey, why use the Festool connectors in the legs and not the Lamello?

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Matt. The rails for the base are not wide enough to use the Lamello, so I used the Festool connectors. Those are very good connectors also, but they won't do mitered joints like the Lamello can.

For thicker veneers like this, either will work fine. I just had more of the TBII on hand

[@jakobgollon7337]

@@GuysShop what is the reason that folks would use titebond I or II ever? I realize that III is graded for harsher environment with weather/water-resist to some extent, but wouldn't that be good to put on everything? Sorry, I'm 'new to the game' :) Thanks in advance for your answer.
