Roger, this is a work of art in itself. I have followed your work for sometime on LJs and I read where you mentioned Patrick and Patrice and their school in San Diego in the past. At that time I visited their website, but wasn’t sure if the French Marquetry was for me as I build mostly furniture from 8/4 and 4/4 materials. However, after following your and Paul’s (shipwright) work for sometime, I’m more and more convinced I would like to try French Marquetry at some point. You and Paul truly inspire me, and now your Chevalet has really got me interested. I live on the edge of America (SC), so I may have to take a trip one day to the other edge to learn from Patrick and Patrice. Thanks for posting, Roger.

That is just such a sweet looking pony Roger. I know you will be turning out show stopping marquetry in no time with this beauty.
I just finished cutting every day for the last ten and while I dearly love old number one here in Az. I have to admit that I do want to make a few little refinements. She’ll still be the recycled D. Fir “phoenix” that she’s always been but I think I’ll machine her a new set of blade clamps and maybe replace the sacrificial jaws. You and Joe are making the old girl look a little down in the heels. :-)
There really seems to be a chevalet renaissance in the air.
Ain’t that grand?

Beautiful chevalet you built.
It looks very solid.
If you were to project it on the floor, how much space does it take?

Very nice! You will be sure to get fantastic pieces made with it. Your skill was already thru the roof, now you will get to use this wonderful tool to the max. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have just looking at it.

Very nice chevalet. I need to get back on mine and practice cutting for my next project.
Very nice! I attended Patrick’s sessions at WIA recently and have the bug to build and learn to use one of these. Thanks for the excellent photos!
Thanks everyone. Attending the American School of French Marquetry really is a game changing experience. Patrick and Patrice show us, first hand, that high quality marquetry is not beyond the reach of us mere mortals. LOL The chevalet is just the first step.
