Paul,

I’ve always been fascinated by the chevalet (since you introduced us to it). I don’t have the patience, skill, and eyesight for such work, but I admire the marquetry that a skilled artisan such as you can accomplish on this old marvel of a machine.

You get really intricate cuts with the chevalet. One of these days, I’ll get to take your class. I can’t imagine getting such detail with the scroll saw.

I speak English, Danish and French and still have no idea how it works. But it still seems to.
Good on you Mate. Oh I forgot Australian.

You mean my a craftsman jig saw couldn’t do the same thing? ?

Art being the representation or replication of something that is beautiful or meaningful, describes the craftsmanship of the chevalet itself. The beauty of the marquetry that you create with it is somewhere beyond.
