Thank you for the care and details in the video it’s a lot to cover in a video but I am truly inspired people like you push my to a higher level thank you
Thanks for the tip...It is easier for me to make 2.5 mm or 3 mm thick veneer. So all things being equal i would rather do that... I see also that you do nice intricate work with that thickness so that looks a good compromise for me.
Beautiful work! I'm in the process of planning a marquetry faced chest of drawers (2 of 'em) and this video showed me a clear path to processes I was not sure of. I'm not new to fine furniture building but am new to marquetry in large projects. Thanks for this excellent video!
Thank you ! The angle of the table depends on the thickness of the sawblade and the thickness of the veneer. My veneer is 3mm thick, the saw blades are Pebeco 3. In this case the angle is about 7 degrees. Best is to just make some test pieces to find the perfect angle.
Thank you Zane ! I do not offer online classes, perhaps in the future if there is sufficient interest. There will be a new video about a project I'm currently working on.
Beautiful work! I'm a bit new to all this, but it seems like the marquetry is laid down on top of some sort of substrate. Is that a "stable" wood (MDF or plywood) or something else? Also, I wonder if these new Cricut machines, designed for the home crafts market, would work for you. They apparently can cut materials up to 2.4mm thick, including commercial veneers. I don't know if they can do the double bevel technique, however.
Thank you! Yes, I use a high quality MDF as a substrate, mainly for stability. I am not familiar with this machines but from what I have seen I don't think they are suitable for me. I have to saw a total of 6mm thick, which is to much anyway...
Roughly , how many hours go into a piece like that ? Was this for a client or your home ? I curious how you would price something like this. Beautiful work.
Thanks, I made this table for my brother-in-law. It took about 300 hours to complete, so thats what you have to count if you want to make it commercial. But it is not just a piece of furniture, it is a mix of art and craft so it is difficult to set a reasonable price.
@@ronnie_rozenga Thanks for the quick reply Ronnie . Yes , it's definitely not "just" a piece of furniture . It helps those new to this technic (like me) that this level of craftsmanship takes time and patience.
How thick is your veneer? The stuff they sell in the store is too thin. I end up having to make my own as you are doing. RIght now I made it .062 inch (1.5 mm)
Yes I agree, the commercial veneers are too thin for me. I like it best when it is 2.5 or 3 mm thick. That is why I make it myself. 1.5 mm is also fine, with that you can also make curved work.
Knap staaltje werk. Wat ik mij afvroeg: heb je het werkblad van je figuurzaag wat schuin staan, zodat de naad sluit wanneer je de houten delen later aan elkaar lijmt?
Bedankt Eduard. Dat klopt inderdaad, door de tafel schuin te stellen worden de delen een beetje taps van vorm, daardoor elimineer je de zaagsnede en sluit het naadloos aan. Mits je de goede zaagrichting aanhoudt, met de klok mee of tegen de klok in. Het ligt er aan van welke kant je wilt invoegen.
I used Wenge and Maple for the bandings. I didn't use templates, just a router and a straight piece of MDF. The bandings on the legs are made with a circular saw. You can see it in my video ''inlay banding ; aquatic life marquetry drawer table part 2"'
Hi Ronnie, amazing craftsmanship really .. one question where can i purchase an electric saw for tiny small cut like your own one ? I live in Australia by the way but it doesn't matter to me the distance thank you for sharing for work of art.
Thank you ! If you search the internet you will find addresses that sell Hegner machines in Australia. I have a Hegner Polycut 3 myself, but other models are also available.
Great artistry and workmanship...
@@laru-n1h Thank you !
Beautiful work!
@@Roman-hx3qj Thank you !
Absolutely a stunning piece of work Ronnie, I've watched at least 4-5 times.
Thank you Michael, that's nice to hear !

My pleasure Darrin ! That's nice to hear, thanks.
Great workmanship! Thanks for the tip on preserving the color of purpleheart with lemon juice.

Thanks! You can try the lemon juice, I have good results with it.

You're welcome Chris. You might like to see some of my other videos , they show you more about the techniques I use. Have fun !
Erg onder de indruk van uw vakmanschap Chapeau!!.
Bedankt voor het compliment !
That is simply inspiring work. Masterful saw work.
Thank you Danny!
Amazing work.
Thank you Bruno !
Absolutely a stunning piece! What angle do you set your saw table on when cutting the double bevel marquetry
Thank you ! The angle of the table depends on the thickness of the sawblade and the thickness of the veneer. My veneer is 3mm thick, the saw blades are Pebeco 3. In this case the angle is about 7 degrees. Best is to just make some test pieces to find the perfect angle.
A Work of Art.....
Thank you James !
1. you have lots of patience
2. you deserve more views
3. do you offer online classes
4 . how long did it take you to build this piece
I saw how long it takes

What size blade do you use on the what appears to be 3mm thick timber. And thanks for posting this video. It is both entetaining and instructive.
Thank you Danny, I use the Pebeco 3 saw blades, they work best for me.
How much time d you invest in one of those projects? I'm astonished, really.
Making the aquatic life table took about 350 hours. A lot of the time was spent on the marquetry panels because of the many details.
I just found your channel and subscribed. Your work is absolutely amazing. Are you using the double bevel method on your marquetry?
Thank you ! Yes I am using this method on my 3 mm thick veneer.
