Honeycomb Cardboard In Fine Furniture
Overview of the veneering process used in creating flat, stable, lightweight, and structural wood glue up panels. These panels have many advantages in preventing wood movement or warping. The resin impregnated core creates a torsion box inside the panel with crossbanding and shop sawn veneers. Very stable balanced panels can be used in many fine furniture applications and I show a practical example using them in a butterfly leaf table extension.

Irwin Marples VS. Stanley Sweetheart VS. Lie Nielsen Chisels
Просмотров 6 тыс.8 месяцев назад
I wanted to show if an entry level or intermediate chisel set could be sharpened and tuned up to be as good or close to the level of a premium chisel like Lie Nielsen or Veritas. What are the differences, how do they compare, cut quality and how to sharpen. A common question is what is sharp and I briefly explain my sharpening process and results using these chisels.

Word
I feel like unless the chisel is the cheapest of the cheap (sub 55 Rcs), they shouldn't really be that much different during the first few cuts. Owning and restoring no less than 200 vintage chisels amongst my modern chisels, I can anecdotally claim that the difference is often in the feel and edge retention (depending on what you are cutting) vs sharpness. On softwood especially, where the keenness matters far more than edge durability, I feel like that based on that sound, your chisel hasn't found the sharpness for some reason. The end grain chips should break with no skips on a sharp chisel. On a properly sharpened chisel, even just on a hard Arkansas, it should feel and sound like cutting through thick plastic rather than wood. Your chips shouldn't have such large break profile and will appear waxy. Just some thoughts.
I like that tray you’re using for your sharpening kit. Can you tell me the size and where you found it?
I’m running to a box store right now to look for one. I liked it too.
Top oil vs Polyx. I am doing a table top. Which would you choose?
Thank you for sharing! Very imfirmative. I hope I can purchase the vaccum kit if you can share the store link.
beautiful. do you think the veneer would bend around slight curves - like on a drawer from Ikea?
Amazingly helpful. I have an ash project that I'm finishing in the same way and wondered if I should up the sheen with the new project since it turned out pretty dull. Thank you for the test piece you did -- saved me hassle, time, and money to do that myself! Cheers
Do you mind sharing the brand and name of your scissor lift- do you recommend it? Thank you
Do you adjust for drift with the fence?
I NEED A SIGN!! I've been looking for wood, no one can help😢 Can we connect?
Rubio states you can dilute with up to 30% water. They claim it provides a more even stain as it slows down the initial drying time. Have you ever applied Rubio this way? Thanks for sharing.
Да это так.
How do they look after 6 months?
I'm glad I sold all my old Stanley's and bought LN chisels. Next up is Blue spruce and some Japanese ones.
hi, we are a sign company from China, we can make such backlit sign. Do you need a quote of a sign art?
Great video! Question, without a drum sander, how would you recommend sanding the resawed veneers?
is this product supposed to feel "dry" after application much like oil plus 2c? Im supposed to be applying this tomorrow and just did a sample piece but the piece still feels wet, not sure if it's supposed to feel dry in 24 hours or right after you finish applying. thanks
Plastic backed abrasive sheets don't curl up and become s nuisance. This type usually comes with scary sharp type sharpening kits.
James, help.. I dream of building a Sam Maloof Rocking Chair… Question: where does one get a copy the plans for such a rocking chair?
Nice panel - but it must be worth a fortune considering how much tape, glue, and labor time is used in production
I've learned over time by wasting time and $...save and get the best. Quality over quantity, always.
Scares me you are leaving those chisels on the corner like that, can you please move them to the middle of the bench 😂
please tell me what s name glue ?
Absolutely the coolest!
Love it! thanks for sharing!
Great job
What is a ballpark figure of what something like this costs?
Does the sheen increase the durability or water resistance?
Great video. I bought the Stanley Sweetheart 4 chisel set. 3 of the 4 sharpened up quite well, but the 1" was a bugger to flatten! It had a high spot on the back, which I understand is much harder to flatten than if it were cratelow in the center, and it took forever to flatten. It was a good learning experience for me to learn flattening and sharpening, but I think my next chisels will be either Narex Richter or Lie Nielsens.
Do you think I’d get similar results with commercial veneer? I have a vacupress but don’t have a drum sander yet. So I’ve only used commercial veneer for panels. This looks amazing and super fun
how did you hide the standoffs
And I still have a question. In your video, I saw Shapton glass 500. But we don't have them for sale in Lithuania, but they are available from other Japanese manufacturers, such as Naniwa and Suehiro (and this is an incomplete list of products). So the question is this. Which sharpening stone grit is better to use if there is no 500, 400 grit or 600 grit?
It really wouldn’t matter.
Good day America. This is Lithuania. I want to know. What grit should I start using on a grindstone to prepare the correct chisel plane? And how many microns of metal can be ground off if the back of the chisel is not smooth? And do you need to grind the entire back of the chisel, that is, smooth it, or is it enough to grind halfway? I have Irwin 750 wood chisels and their backs are not straight, if you look at the whole length it looks like a convexity that shines through, but if you look at half the length, then the convexity is smaller and it is more even in half the length. P.S language is not corrected.
What LEDs did you use? Can you link to them? Nice light!
Amazing work! I’m about to build a tambour door myself, could you tell me if you veneered both side of the tambour? At the same time? Thanks!
What is the vaccum pump and bag you're using? What is the glue you are using for this? Thanks!
Awesome video! I’m very intrigued with the vacuum press! Need to research that a bit! Looks like the panels are held in the folded position with magnets?
Thanks! These are for spacers and are just washers with countersunk screws. They raise the panels up on the ends to match the height of the table top. In order to get it to move freely, it's slightly elevated over the apron and essentially floats. I'll have another video coming out at some point about the table and glue all that's working together.
Great video! I really wanted to try this honeycomb material but found no local distributor and tricel minimum order was about 34 sheets of 1” at $2500 plus freight. As a small home shop I don’t have a place to store it😂 Glad to see vacupress has smaller 2x4 sheets with minimum 4 pcs or $120. Serious markup but good to try out at least. Tricel needs to get a distributor in north Texas!!
That's crazy! I've only purchased per project and id love to have a distributor nearby!
Would you consider the honeycomb panel process a viable option for the fixed sections of the table top?
Defintely, I'm already planning one with a burl veneer
Where do you buy the honeycomb cardboard from?
It's called tricell honeycomb. You can buy direct in large quantities or smaller from vacupress website
Upcycle IKEA furniture 😅
@@dnosaluh only about 1000x’s better and last that much longer.
@@jameswesleyfurniture can you please share the specs of the honey comb you use like cell size and thickness. And that is a beautiful table by the way
Damnit!! I just had to spend a quick grand on vacuum gear after watching this. Thanks! No, really, thanks for the demonstration. Looks super fun. Can't wait to try this.
Ha! It's a fun rabbit hole to go down
Any other good websites you’d recommend for a first time guy?
How much is it and could you do a quote for the word "Tree of Life" added to it?
I'm not talking any orders. Thanks
I have never heard of this style of veneer, thanks for the info! In Canada that plywood is known as MDO, Medium Density Overlay.
It's a great choice in breaking up the typical "veneer" look
great work!
Thanks a lot!
Good day)! About Pure-Color Easy Intense Black. It can be diluted with distilled water, and at the same time the intensity of coloring will practically not change! And the price will be 2 times lower)...
Interesting idea
Ни кому не говори😂 это секрет!
Do you ship railings to other states?
Unfortunately I'm not able to do that
I can ship you one. Won’t have the wood cap
What are your thoughts on the shape of the chisels? But for the thickness of the edges of the chisels, I like the Stanley Sweethearts. To my eye, the edges are too thick, which make the chisels difficult to use for paring the inside corner of dovetails. They're just fine for most other bench chisel tasks.
I've not had any issues that I paid attention to. If it felt clunky to me, I may reach for a smaller chisel or skewed chisel in my shop. I do believe the Irwin felt very large and didn't really compare to the Stanley or lie nielsen
I'm surprised that you did not remove the handle from the socket chisels for sharpening. The ability to do that is one of the primary reasons I prefer socket chisels.
Probably just a preference thing. I don't really have issues with my stone setup because it's elevated enough off of the table. It cleared using the glass in all but the Irwin
Lie Nielsen is made in USA about Irwin and Stanley? Some Irwin chisels are made in UK and they are really good.
Unfortunately I don't believe any irwins are made in the uk anymore
I'm not sure at all, I really went off of price point labeling them as entry or mid level and premium
Very interesting and I believe it's probably a very complex reason why there are so many variables in the pricing
