    Hey Everyone, One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that I used "Baltic Birch" plywood for this build. Most lumber yards carry Baltic Birch. It's a little more expensive, but worth the price. It comes in metric sizes. 12mm is the equivalent of 1/2" and that's what I use in this video. Hope that helps!

    • @ellolo123
      @ellolo123 4 года назад +3

      how much does one sheet produce after cutting it all down and making the patterns? Was what you showed in the video the amount of patterned material that one sheet produced or was there more? I would like to make a table surface out of this.

    • @MichaelAlm
      @MichaelAlm  4 года назад +3

      @@ellolo123 I used a little less than half a sheet of ply for this. For a table top you might want to cut the strips thicker, like 3/4" or 1"

    Its amazing to see things become popular, go out of fashion, then come back in years later. I was doing this back in the 70's, and though it never became a fad, it was still fun to play with. Plywood has very much improved though, and allows for a much better end result. I spent hours filling up the little holes left by crappy plywood factory bonding, using glue and fine sawdust, which just added to the time and toil of creating. Well done sir. This brought back many memories to an old carpenter. My favorite patterns included ripped pieces of red mountain cedar, mixed in. Once sealed, the red stripes really popped.

    I love all the different patterns you can get out of plywood. I am a woodturner and make bowls out of plywood and will be using some of your pattens. Thanks for sharing. Yes I love using the scraps to come up with new patterns even on regular wood, often time ending up with better patterns than the original.

    You can sell the scraps as pen blanks, might be a easy way to turn trash in to some extra cash.

    I've been meaning to make a table for an obtuse corner next to my hot tub. I keep thinking, I have this nice sheet of marine grade ply but, I need to come up with a nice veneer or some other finish... Now I'll just cut the sheet into strips, have some fun with the shapes, and varnish.
    Great video, and thanks for the inspiration!

    This video really grabbed my attention...very well done! About a year ago I was messing around with strips of plywood and made some similar patterns. I made drink coasters as gifts that were framed in walnut and was pleasantly surprised how nice they turned out...the recipients were even happier. It opened up a whole new world of ideas for me using all sorts of patterns for inlay work. Great video and thanks for posting it!

    I tried this when I saw your original video. I was amazed at how easy it was to experiment with. Kind of amazed at the size of a finished piece compared to the original sheet of plywood too! I had the odd piece that came apart too I think it's just the nature of the game for this kind of work.
