*• My marquetry tips:*
There’s almost nothing to it,… seriously just get a good and strait ruler, a sharp usual utility-knife, scotch-tape , patience and a compact tough sandingblock with 150 and 180 grain and commence slicing, thats how I uncovered it…..
Recommendations:
– I normally use MDF as a operate-area for the reason that it has no grain and therefore the knife won’t check out to ‘wonder off’.
– Under no circumstances try out to cut the veneer in one particular go, normally make multiple lite strokes dependent on the wood.
, say 3 to 5 for maple, 3 to 4 for mahogany just don’t force the blade by means of, it will “look for” and comply with the grain of the wooden and you would under no circumstances get a strait cut.(I use ,6 mm / ,024″ veneer.)
– Always put the ruler on the element you’re gonna use not on the slash-absent, that way you will quickly slice at a slide angle and get best (!!!) seamless fitting pieces.
– Never use a pencil or pen, just mark things lightly with you knife.
(I am 21 so I have no challenge observing the markings with a knife, but if you do just try out to preserve the traces as this as attainable.)
– I use scotch-tape to continue to keep the parts collectively. Soon after glue-up the tape is scraped of extremely cautiously.
I hope any one has any use for these strategies, it truly isn’t tough just start off-of with some squares or anything and get the come to feel for it, then try out a compass-rose.(which is NOT difficult to do.)
Really feel absolutely free to ask me any queries, I’d really like to enable anybody who is interested
in this good, satisfying, ‘priding’ and enjoyment way of woodworking.
