Thanks very much for the input and advice. I will look through all the links and I'm sure I'll find what I need at one of the retailers. Thanks again, Simon

HI All, I am hoping that I can glean the wealth of knowledge & experience here? I am in need of a small quantity of some 3" x 6 screws, or whatever that equates to in todays dimensions and am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction as to where I could possibly buy some...

Many thanks both, it's greatly appreciated! I will be having an experimentation session tomorrow thanks to your input. Again, thankyou! Simon

A quick question if I may? I'm sure this is a very basic question to most here, but can I use standard PVA glue in a veneer vacuum bag & if not, what adhesive would should I be using? I am a hobbyist & can't justify buying an electric press, so have recently bought a Roarocket system & am...

Thanks for the replies, As I originally thought, I'll opt for 2 on each side. Many thanks again Simon

Hi All, A quick question, if I may? I'm fully aware that one should adhere a backing/balance veneer to a panel when gluing to the substrate , but I am unsure about the following: I am making something that requires two leaves/layers of veneer on the face side & am unsure whether I need two...

Cheers all, I really like the idea of the Ulmia strip cutter, but it's out of my price range unfortunately. Hopefully, I have a solution??: I spoke to a joiner who is undertaking a few jobs at my place of work & he has a small Axninster bandsaw that he is willing to bring to site, so I am...

Thanks @pe2dave I'll definately give it a go.

Thanks @pe2dave, that would be ideal, but without having any machinery to cut the blocks to an exact dimension, could you suggest how I can create blocks of identical measurements plz?

Thanks again for your input, Yes, @pe2dave, I am wanting to cut exact widths of pre-bought leaves of veneer. (standard 0.6mm) I use exactly the same methhod that is shown in the video, but currently use a couple of steel nuts or washers that I have matched to each other using a digital vernier...

Thanks TOM & ajs, Yes, to answer your question, I am wanting to cut accurate strips of veneer. As stated previously, I have been using metal nuts and washers that I have matched using a micrometer to cut a parallel piece of veneer against a straightedge. After doing so, I have a small veneer...

Many thanks for your input everyone. All your suggestions are great and have been taken onboard. I will let you know my choice after trying a couple of the options suggested. Thanks again, Simon

Evening all, I am hoping that someone can please advise. I am a hobbyist who enjoys making veneer parquetry using very primitve methods. Currently I use metal washers or nuts of the same size pushed against a straightedge which my rule rests upon to try and produce a consitent width of veneer...

Hey Lons, Thanks for the reply. I am looking for a product/veneer that offers a colourful or geometric design that is produced within the veneer itself. I primarily work with natural veneers, and have plenty in stock, but I am wanting some 'engineered' veneers that I can apply to a substrate...

Hi all, A bit of a shot in the dark here, but could anyone advise where I may be able to purchase erable veneer offcuts? I am a hobbyist that makes small items such as jewellry/trinket boxes and would like to create some abstract/colourful items for friends and family. I am aware that Eden...

Hi all, I'm a hobbyist and am certainly no expert, but I asked a similar question several years ago and I ended up buying an Iwata airbrush. (I cant remember the model). After a few months experimenting, I ended up selling the Iwata and buying a Badger 150, due to the fact that the Badger...

As always, thanks for all your input, but I only make small items, so have opted for the following product. https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/mitre-cutter-rp-toolz-rp-cutr-p17221/ Thanks again, Simon

Thanks Tom, but that looks a little to big for my hobby needs. 😁 I was thinking in the same lines as 'inspector's suggestion but I will need an adjustable fence for differing angles that I would need to cut. (up to 60 degrees) The item below is similar to what I think I need, but this specific...

Cheers Pete, I appreciate your input, and the one that you use at your work may be adequate but I am looking for a specific recommendation/product that will cut the required angles and material. I.e wood veneers.. Again, thanks Simon

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could please impart their knowledge & experience? I am a hobbyist that works mainly with veneers, and have a keen interest in parquetry. Up until now I have cut each piece with a scalpel or a fine toothed 'Zona' saw, but I am wanting to speed up the cutting...
