Box with 3D marquetrie #2: Construction of the box and veneering of parts.

1664

Hello,
I work without machine only with hand tools.
I will show you some pictures of the construction of the box and the veneer of the parts.

Part 3, the box still gets a shellac polish and a base.

The miter saw I freehand on the lines.

Groove plane of the floor.

If it is necessary, I planed by the miters.

The wood is preheated.
I’m using infrared lamps. This is an interim solution. I am building this new device and show them to you later.

The press my grandfather is also good for small workpieces.

Good blog Uwe.
Are you using hot hide glue?
Is the aluminium caul heated?
I ask because I use heated aluminium cauls with HHG in my marquetry. It can eliminate the need to pre-heat the wood.

The early bird gets the worm but its the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Hi Paul,
The caul is zinc. It is heated.
I know this should be enough.
In the workshop, it is cold and I have to heat the wood.
