    When I was a Union Cabinetmaker we would mix white glue with a little water and coat the veneer and the substrate with the mixture.Let both pieces dry completely then position the veneer and heat with a home iron.This works when you are going to finish the piece with a lacquer based finish. The lacquer would make the contact cement loosen and you would have a bubble. In your case with that small of a piece you would be fine. Hope this helps you and your viewers.

      Thank you, the truth is I wasn’t that brave. My first instinct was to cut out the mistakes. However the rest of the video wasn’t going to make sense without the mistakes and I would have have to scrape off the project. What you don’t see is after the mistake happens, I went upstairs, ate a snack, thought about it… then went back and continued:)

    Hey Miss Sky! Next time (cutting the top free) put the box bottom against the fence and use your pusher block to shove it through. Do not put pressure in on the lid, just let it fall off on the last pass through the router. Great little box and excellent content. Thanks Sky!

I definitely have a problem with the length of my videos, most times I feel that I talk too much and over explain so it looks like I am just babbling. But it’s a fine line that is hard to walk: I feel I need to explain my train of thought, yes, I should keep my videos short and simple…..
      Anyway, you see? Babbling again:) thank you again for your kindness and support

    Yes, I always learn from your videos as well. I would temporarily ad a couple of small boards to the inside of the box with double stick tape to hold what will be the two halves together and in place while routing that separating cut, or maybe it would be better to do the separating cut on the table saw as there is less that can go wrong with a blade cutting parallel to your cut as opposed to the spinning router blade pulling to the side. Make sense?

    Really enjoyed the video and love how you managed to save a amazing little box. I watched a video not long ago where a guy made the top similar but used the table saw to cut. May I suggest when you cut the top off on the router put a shim in the cut the same size as the bit and tape it to prevent it from closing on you as you go around.

    You had narrow strips of the veneer leftover...could you cut small squares and laminate them together...maybe sandwich a piece of the hardwood inside for strength...and use those for the splines? I've yet to work with veneer or splines...trying to learn.

    Beautiful box and nice recovery on the mistake. I definitely like the longer video and attention to detail and the mistakes on all the steps. You almost got by without saying "I don't have the patience to wait". LOL. 😄That should be your catch phrase from all your videos. I wouldn't mind seeing a video on your veneer. It was a little hard to follow along with the split screen trying to understand what you were saying and trying to match it up with the inset video. I'm sure you figured out the box collapse because of lack of support. Guy mentioned in earlier post to use scraps after you route out your groove to maintain the support. I was thinking getting some square dowels from one of the big box stores of various thickness to the size of your router bits; cut them to various lengths and keep in a pencil holder or something next to your router table. That way you will have them quick and handy to grab and insert into your groove to maintain support while you continue the lid. Nice choice choosing the maple over the walnut for the splines. Definitely gives it some contrast. Have considered or tried using a touch brass to accent it?

I am also curious, because I did not see it in your tools and materials list. What brand of roller/bearing feather board did you use? I have not seen it before. I have the same saw and liked how that one worked.

      Thanks for your quick reply! Your videos are: refreshers, informative, and, importantly, inspirational! I'm 80, just a home woodworker, and I quit making large projects that "giftees" will probably just sell or give away when I'm gone. Your boxes are a really nice, small, easy way, to make a "keepsake". I'm going to make at least ten. I like the "spline" feature as it not only adds strength but also "style" (I will do it in a contrasting color). Gary@@woodworkingwithSkyler

    Very nice box, and a good save. I use the same method, and I machine my grooves on the router table, also. But I leave 1/16 material between the grooves, then cut the top from the box on my bandsaw. I also buy my veneers from woodcraft already glued to a 1/4" Baltic birch substrate. Good video!

  • @phrozen4life
    @phrozen4life 15 дней назад

    The bottom of the lid is uneven you can easily fix that by laying a piece of sandpaper flat on a flat surface and sanding it just a hair to get even seams around the closing. That router table technique was interesting to say the least never thought of that. Though the sheer force of that type of bit cutting into stock you will need to find a way to fasten the box in place to a sled of sorts to ensure it stays parallel to the fence at all times, I just don't see you having the ability to keep it perfectly straight all the way through the cut with the force of the bit just using your hands.

    Hide glue is the traditional adhesive used in veneering. The beautiful veneered. pieces found in antique French, English ( and probably Romanian ) furniture of the past Used hide glue and applied shellac over it. You no longer have to buy hide glue in its solid state and mix your own batch. I use the product "Old Brown Glue" hide glue when working on an antique repair and Titebond and others also sell premixed hide. It's possible that the thin veneers you're working with requires new techniques, but if hide works for you, it might be easier than using contact cement.

    @migoblue 11 месяцев назад

    Wood movement occurring only perpendicular to the grain direction will not affect the fit of the box lid, therefore extra play isn’t required here. However, the direction of the grain in the bottom piece, in absence of any space for wood movement, could potentially blow out the end sides of the box. Good recovery from the router incident and a very nice result.
