    Gluing MDF

    I typically only use MDF for templates. However, I have a unique project that requires hardwood edge banding on MDF. I've always understood that MDF doesn't glue well because it absorbs so much of the (yellow) glue. So, I'm asking this forum for advice on best methods for gluing hardwood to...

    Flatten Veneer

    With regard for all the woodworking sites on YouTube, I had some time to waste (invest?) in learning something about flattening veneer. Most craftsmen subscribe to the "old" school method of pressing wet veneer between paper sheets until it is dry. But one gentleman used a standard clothes...

    Calculating BF used to make a cutting board

    No doubt, a board made of exotic hardwood can be pricey. And when you include an epoxy "river" the cost of materials can double !!

    Marquetry Veneer - Free

    I have a large pile of miscellaneous veneer suitable for marquetry. Some partial pieces, small pieces, split pieces, generally odds and ends. Happy to pass it along to a “forever home”. I’m sure a marquetry artist could use much of it - or not, then toss the “waste” in the fire box. Best part...

    Coin inlay with Epoxy

    You might not think this could happen, but the coin will actually "float" to the surface of the epoxy. You need to anchor the coin to the wood before covering it with epoxy. Either use a drop of glue or a drop of epoxy to secure the coin in place. Once that is dry/cured then you can pour...

    Sanding an Epoxy River

    Tom - as you know, you are mixing apples and oranges... or rather, wood and epoxy. I have sanded the entire slab, wood and epoxy to 320. Then, assuming your "river" is at least a few inches wide, continue sanding the epoxy - although your ROS may overlap the wood. If the river is too narrow...

    Veneer Glue

    I have a gallon of extra dark Better Bond X-Press veneer glue which is about 6 months old and cost about $28. Pretty sure I will never be able to use it all, and lest it age out and go to waste I would love to swap it with someone for a piece of wood, your choice, approx. value of $20. Or I...
