Dear Honeybadger Woodworks. Thank you for the video. I, like yourself have a zeal to continually take on new and different wood projects. I was asked by the contractor I work for to learn, buy what I need and apply veneer to solid core interior doors. I did use after research Veneer Supplies. They are fine. You answered what I needed to know and this Monday I pull the trigger to meet a deadline. Best wishes and….. your Herringbone or pattern looks great. Best wishes. -Dickie.
Great overview of your process on this. That was really quite the project to tackle. Not only a massive piece, but also building and learning a vacuum press set up. 👊 As always, thanks for sharing, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.✌
Don't know that I will ever have a project requiring me to use a vacuum bag, but if I do, I know where to find an excellent tutorial on how to do it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the subject with us. Have a great week.
Great video as an introduction to veneering, it’s something I have never done before and at my age probably won’t do but never say never I would definitely give it a go if I had the finances 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
Another dimension to diy projects at expert level. It was reassuring to see a printed book on veneering, books are so often undervalued when there's so many yt guides out there. Always interesting seeing how you plan and work and problem-solve - thanks for sharing this, I'm now tempted to try a smaller (much smaller) project using a vacuum seal glue-up. Have a great weekend!
Wow...this was extraordinarily interesting, as much as it was helpful. My goals are musical instrument building, so it would be a MUCH smaller scale. But, what I always wondered was how the pieces kept together with the blue tape, when you flipped it over to use the veneer tape. It seems that would fall apart when flipping it over. I'm going to have to get familiar with that process. Definitely going to pick that book up you recommended. I'm in the buying/research phase of this now. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. These videos are laborious, so it's very appreciated.
Thanks! If you really rub on painters tape with a decent amount of pressure it will hold quite well. I use it in the shop for all kinds of holding applications. I've used that vacuum set up a few times since this build and the process still works great!
Unless money is in very short supply and your time is worth almost nothing, this approach to veneering makes most sense with the exception of vinyl versus polyurethane bag material. In years gone by I wasted a lot of time cobbling together po' boy systems. While that can be fun it was no may to conduct a woodworking business. If you do that, you'll end up with a set of tools worth next to nothing to anyone else. If you must economize do it with a scrounged-together pump rather than homemade vinyl bags. Chasing down the eventual inevitable leaks is so frustrating and, of course, you'll become aware of those leaks when the largest, most valuable real work is at risk. Using sawn veneers no thicker than 3/32" is the most realistic for a successful outcome on large projects. Smaller builds for yourself preparatory to a large commission is a really good idea.
Another awesome video, this is something I’d like to try in the future so I will make a note and put it in my shop this way I can go back and watch your video. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a big big shop ha ha Ha my shop is 21 feet long 12 feet wide and I dream of having a big shop with lots of room So meanwhile you just have to get creative to move around and get things done keep up the good work kiddo you’re awesome
Wow. Great job. Btw, I'm assuming Australia is on a "60 cycles" system for their electric motors, rather than "50 cycles" that the Brits (and most other former colonies) use.
Good explanation of the Veneering process you used! Always wondered how well those vac bags worked. Do you plan on using the press to do any curved work in the future? nice job keep it; up!
I've wanted to try curved veneers for awhile, but it would have to be via a customer piece because I just don't have the free time and so far no customers wanting curves.
Ben said it all(below.) I agree(and am rather, sort of, in a way, and add,... kind of,) interested in having a stab at veneering; looks pretty cool...cheers...rr
Yep, thats where I bought my gear from too. I just wish I could remember where I got the really good breather mesh from, I found that rigid mesh so annoying after a while. As you quickly realized its best to wrap the project with the breather mesh before you put it into the bag.
I always set the sound for the computer I'm working on, but can't account for variances in everybody's devices. So it could in fact be too low on your device.
Great presentation! Coffee, TH-cam with HBW, now on to leaves and football! Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday to you too!

I love your Vid's with coffee my relax time absorbing ideas . You didn't need to workout with all this pushing and moving around!! lol!! great work!
Don't have to feel bad about skipping leg day working on a project like this haha.

I find books to be the best resources. TH-cam is great, but it can be daunting weeding though videos of "experts" giving terrible advice.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks So true...
Très intéressante comme technique !! Et ça a l'air de fonctionner très bien, à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
Very cool C. Now I obviously want one too! :D

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Excellent…thank you again. This was inspiring.
Thanks for sharing very in impressive always very informational
Good information thanks 👍

I would love to have space for a finishing room. That would be a life saver.
Wow. Great job. Btw, I'm assuming Australia is on a "60 cycles" system for their electric motors, rather than "50 cycles" that the Brits (and most other former colonies) use.
I found wetting the tape then using a card scrapper the best for removing it. Going directly to sanding just destroys your sandpaper so quickly.
The card scraper is what I ended up using in the end.

Great help. I think I will start with a chess board but I am super psyched about trying it.

So far I really like it and the possibilities are endless.
When trying a new technique some people would start small. That’s not the Honey Badger way! A two hundred pound tabletop is perfect. Great work!
hahahaha!

Yeah, I only used it a handful of times and I already notice some wear and tear on this mesh.
am i deaf or is your volume really low???
I always set the sound for the computer I'm working on, but can't account for variances in everybody's devices. So it could in fact be too low on your device.
2,23... why😒
Say what
