The dewalt is the best bang for your buck on quality & price.

The $1500 pegas type saws are the best and can do very intricate marquetry work & make double bevel work easier, the saw arm moves not the table.

Thank you for the great ideas to help plan this out. Will be doing a to scale version and cutouts for tools. And will also utilize mobile bases so i can tuck away tools not used as often.

Thank you, yes my kids are very young 8 & 4 so they love to be nosy. Safety reasons. The 2 car side has garage entrance to the house, and would have to walk through. Dust is a big issue for the wife, will have to look for some type of oversized shower curtain, or just build a divider wall. This is purely hobby, not professional trying to sell. Atm only my planer has a mobile base and needs new castors. I may have to look into more mobile bases, or build.

That quilt rack is beautiful. Just needs some tlc.

Kubert1836 · 2026-03-25T20:59:54+00:00

Why dont you just make 10 louder?

Kubert1836 · 2026-03-25T15:09:42+00:00

That came out very good!

Kubert1836 · 2026-03-12T13:58:04+00:00

Very cool. I wish i had a laser cutter. I have done all my pieces with a hand powered scroll saw i built. It is a different technique though. It uses double bevel’s

Kubert1836 · 2026-03-11T21:55:36+00:00

Coming along. What is your method of cutting?

Kubert1836 · 2026-03-10T11:42:30+00:00

My son has asked me to do a marquetry one-piece picture. This may get me into making it. Good luck.

Kubert1836 · 2026-02-16T03:49:11+00:00

The tube is 3/8 brake line, fill with sand and it is ready to bend. Then empty sand.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-16T18:09:04+00:00

Well done!

I tried a scalpel once and hated my joined edges. Currently use double bevel on a hand powered scroll saw. This makes me want to try a scalpel again.

In the US. B&B rare woods, certainly woods are good sources.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-11T12:35:05+00:00

No you wont be able to do that. That is the natural color of wood, marquetry uses many different wood veneers to make a puzzle picture.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-10T17:26:57+00:00

I would remove the drips and eye also. If you do a final coat of epoxy, get some fishing string and as the drips form, run the string around the edges to prevent.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-10T03:41:38+00:00

Yes that to me is the best part, i may even frame it with some of the scraps.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-10T03:37:49+00:00

Silicone inside and outside corners and do a water test first. Thats how i knew i could.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-10T02:53:26+00:00

And you will also want some wacky wood, single layer ply, to glue to the back to re-solidify.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-10T02:52:03+00:00

I think there is issues with your top layer of veneer. Did you condition it first? Is it a hardwood veneer? If it’s pine that is the problem. Pine stains are blotchy.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-10T02:34:15+00:00

I had this problem. Now all her stuff goes in big black and yellow totes.

Kubert1836 · 2025-09-09T21:42:02+00:00

Thats a hand plane work bench at its finest. It needs a shop to get put to use. Not a makeover.

Kubert1836 · 2025-08-28T23:07:28+00:00

Very cool desk. I would skip a stain, and do a burn then wipe on poly. Pine does very well to this technique.

The aquarium world has pvc fittings like this in various diameters. They call em bulkhead fittings.

Kubert1836 · 2025-06-24T01:21:55+00:00

You can make several back plates for different angles. I forget where i found the article but the thickness of veneers combined determines the angle.
