Marquetry is the art of assembling thin pieces of wood together to form a decorative pattern or picture. Then that final piece can be applied on top of larger workpiece or inlayed into it. I've always wanted to try it and I'm really glad I pushed myself to make this project. I'm happy with how the pattern turned out. Hopefully you enjoy the video!
Love it! I picked up a bunch of small veneer pieces at a garage sale and haven’t known what to do with them. Thanks for the video. You’re a good teacher! Only thing that threw me off is you saying that you’re going to “cut this in half” when you are cutting them in two unequal pieces. I thought your box would be funny looking if the lid was the same depth as the bottom. Thank you again!
What fine scroll saw skills ! And incredible patience. Absolutely beautiful, thanks for the links, especially for those beefy hinges. Really enjoyed this, I must attempt some version of this at some point😎 !
I have just finished a " marquetry " picture of an Italian lakeside scene . There was a gap of 52 years since I started it. As this video shows the making of a "pattern" in wood veneers, I believe the correct description should be "parquetry" as seen in parquet flooring.
Absolutely amazing! You have a seriously steady hand to cut those straight lines with a scroll saw. You also have a great eye for selecting the wood species that contrast yet compliment each other, great job!
Interesting to see that even hand-sawn stripes go glue back together - but I guess you'd have harder times when using wider stripe in between. That thin and bendable veneer paid off. But still - did you have to somehow corect the rhombus shapes before gluing them together? I can't believe they could have fit so well together when hand-sawn...
@@NewtonMakes haha that time was when I was a full time touring drummer in punk rock bands…think I have a few pairs in a box somewhere. I’m amazed how good that pattern came out! Definitely gonna give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration brother!!!
Superb job, absolutely awesome. How many man-hours in total do you think you spent on it. I only ask because if you saw that box in a shop for sale you’d be shocked at it’s price. It’s only when you see how much effort it takes to make something as beautiful as that you realise the value (not price) of something hand made by a craftsman.

this pattern is called Argyle. Lovely work.
Yet another awesome box Billy. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you for the shout out :)

The box looks amazign on the thumbnail! Let's see how it's made :))
In the RUclips world, the thumbnail is king!
I really like your work. very good.👍
Amazing. Great project and for sharing the tips.
Thanks, Henry
Lovely little box. I know someone who is into card tricks and playing card collecting that would love something like this!
You have some mad scroll saw skills. Keep these beautiful projects coming, Billy! I can’t get enough of them.
Thanks, every time I cut I feel like I'm getting better.
Your skills are sick! Beautiful box!
Thanks, it was a pleasure to make it.

It took me ALL DAY to glue that pattern together. I have another video on step by step installing box hinges if you think it'll help.
Stunning work as always 👌
Thanks! I'm happy with how it worked out.
This is exactly what I wanted to learn!! Thank you! ✌️
My wife is a huge Harley Quinn fan and those colors are perfect. This would be great for her. Thanks for showing how to do this.
Didn't even think about Harley! I love the idea. I used these colors when I made my Joker picture a few videos back.
That's very impressive!
Awesome work! Your thought process & your work Is extremely inspiring! Thank you for the encouragement.
Thanks for the kind words. I simply think about what I haven't done and then force myself to try it.
That wengé just looks so amazingly good! Cool pattern, never saw this before!
I've used wenge a lot for scroll saw work but I'm loving it for boxes. The puzzle box I made is wenge and looks beautiful.
Man awesome video brother nicely done and great process of this as well as all your videos, love the press you made thats super cool and handy
So handy! That glue up was a breeze.
Nice work, as usual Billy! I really enjoy your channel!
Thanks, Larry 👍
Really beautiful, Billy. Great job on the marquetry!
Bill
Thanks!
Looks great 👍. I like that pattern. Your channel is growing my friend!
The little channel that could 🤣🤣

Cutting fast helps me to keep it as straight as possible. I'm already ruminating on some future project ideas.
@@NewtonMakes If you didn’t have a scroll saw with a tiny blade, what type of saw and blade would you have used to make the cuts?
Great video
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Horton-Brasses hinges are a great product at a great price.
A good quality hinge is invaluable. Much better than the cheap ones in terms of installation.
Nice job 👍
Thanks, Dave!
👍👍👍👍

No, everything fit together without any issues.
How did you get such straight cuts with the scroll saw? Came out amazing!
There was a time in my life that I only wore argyle socks :)
Hopefully that time is now. My cuts get straighter when I cut fast. The slower I cut the more they veer off.

Probably three full days to make it. I film so it's difficult to come up with a more precise number.
@@NewtonMakes so if you worked on it six hours a day for three days, even at $15 per hour that’s $270 not including materials 😳. That’s my point.
you inspire me to do a wood box I would like to show you the result but I don't know how I can transfer you picture if you can help me
If you post it on Instagram you can tag me. I'm @newtonmakes.
Try some 0.7mm fineers 🤣🤣😂😂👍👍
