- A veneer press for applying veneer or making plywood. I will be making a wooden clock soon and need to make plywood for it. So this is a tool to make a tool for a project.

LOL!!! Busted!!! Jim, there is nothing wrong with using a drill driver to screw things together! It makes assembly easier and quicker and I use it all the time.
Power drill part was hilarious. I loved it. Cheated this weekend myself. Lol
Lol. Love having a a bit of fun from time to time.

Lol put that right up next to "you can make glue from anybody part"
Great ideal on the press
thanks!
["Squirrel!!" moment...4:42...i kept trying to scroll my screen further up on the board of stickers in the background...i can make out stumpy nubs, crafted workshop, ox in the shop, total boat, instructables, fix this/build that, workshop hero, & either (1) i just don't know or (2) cannot quite make out others but i guess the "free advertising" is working for them...it made me stop &examine closer]...now back to regularly scheduled programming...
love the idea for this press James...cannot wait to see the plywood construction...REALLY curious to see how you make it with the hand tools.
LOL I love the sticker collection!
Simple and effective , love to the rest of the process 😊👍
There is alot that goes into making clocks. I guess that's why not everyone makes them. I am looking forward to seeing this process from start to finish, I guess the only question I would have is at the end is there going to be compilation video going through the entire process from cutting the veneer, making the press and plywood through cutting out all the gears and working out how they go together? Wow that would be that a long video even typed it was long
yup. we will be going from log to clock on this one. should be a fun series.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo yeah it should
Really cool James! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Okay okay, that is really neat!
thanks!
Great video!
Thanks.
Great video as always James! Was it just me or did you use a new camera? Either way the clarity was outstanding👍
nope same camera and camera man. Luke comes down to shoot most of my videos and all the Saturday ones.
James watch out, the powertool addiction start out slowly, you buy a cordless drill & driver set. Thinking it's still kind of a handtool I hold it in my hands. Next power sander and before you know it you'll be part of the festool mafia shoting into everything as jointery. Lol
Lol. But I already have a Domino.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Oh no too late. All kidding aside, I've used a. Domino, just can't get past sticker shock in buying one
Instead of using nuts as spacers, you could also make 2 wooden levers that keep the top board apart. Should be done quickly, and you save yourself a lot of screwing. 8)
I actualy do nto use the nuts to keep the two faces separated. the friction on the screws does the trick.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Again what learned - as we say in german. :D
I just thought you were saying, that the nuts in between are used to keep the two boards separated to be able to put veneer in.
This design with threaded rod is a tried and trusted kind of thing but there are so many nuts to have to fiddle with during setup. Would it not work to use clamps instead?
If you have clamps that will put as much pressure as a fine thread will they can work however we just having to adjust four nuts It goes really quickly. all the other ones do not have to ever be touched once they've been put in place. It's just a four on top that actually lock it down.
Awesome. I'm building a table top soon, that is in a couple of sections but they will be 1400x1400 tops. Do you think i can make something like this that big and still get enough clamping pressure?
That is a fairly wide table but not the problem for most clamps that long. The width of the table has very little to do with a clamping pressure required. it's more to do with the surface area underneath the clamps. So the question is how thick is the top. If you want me to take a look at it feel free to send me an email and I'd be glad to look through the designs.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo thanks James. I'll take you up on that offer once we finish the design. We are building a game table. One that has a removable top top to reveal a board game that's been pre set up our left behind from the previous session. The top was going to be solid wood however we though that would be too heavy and was rather expensive to make not to mention the risk of it bowing over time. We then though we would veneer 16mm MDF instead. But without a vacuum press I'm now concerned it will delaminate. Overall this table is going to be big. It's 2800mm X 1400mm.
Great idea ! The threaded rods - are they lightweight alloy ? If so, do they give enough pressure ? Would it be preferable to use steel if it was available ? Sounds a great design for a press, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in action ! Thanks !
thanks. the threaded rods are steel.
Do you prefer kiln dried or air dried HDPE?
only the best air dried 25 year aged HDPE for this shop
Where did you get your HDPE sheets from?
I believe I just picked those up from Menards.
Do you think this design would work well as a book press?
possibly but it would be a bit large for that.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Good to know, thanks!
I'm just here because I wanted to know how to make a veneer press, to make plywood, to make something, so you have videos to post.....
Wait, what is that yellow thing? The one that looked like magic and turned the screw without you turning....
At the store they called it a modern brace.
thank you James . why make the plywood ? would not a quality box store one work ? lol so pressed
Lol no most of them have pine on the inside and then have a veneer on the outside I want it to be solid white oak. Also I want to have a farm or plies. My 3/8 plywood will have 15 plies. Extremely stable and will keep it shape really well for as long as the wood is maintained.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo and you will use white oak ? due to its hardness so better wear ability
Do you have any idea how much time I have spent trying to get RID of camber .........hmmmmmpf!!?!!?
Lol there's a reason it is a simple project
Strong white noise in the background
LOL ya I got to find where that is comign from in the system.
He is like all vegan people eating a ham 3 am
LOL I like that one!
Tick tock - time is ticking... Power drill - blasphemy!!!! Semi boring video... 🙄
He got me with the drill joke. ^^
LOL got to love the fun little projects!
