Re: Hello everyone.

 

Woods of various thicknesses are used in marquetry. We also work with 1 and 2 millimeters. What you see in this image is 0.6 millimeters.

I'm curious, how thick is the wood you use when you're doing an inlay like this?? My impression is that some people work with extremely thin veneers when doing a project like this, while others choose to use wood that's several millimeters thick.

Re: Hello everyone.

 

Terrific work, Burak.? The geometric shapes look like you styled it after Picasso which I don't think was an accident.? I want to share the photo and writeup with a friend who is deeply into marquetry and another who makes excellent humidors.? I know they will appreciate it.

I don’t know if you are Burak or Gurer, but (apparently) unlike some others here, your pictures did not come through to me.?

?

The three tiny little pictures that show up at the end of your message below did not appear in your original message – only as small boxes with some lines in them.? Clicking on them did nothing, same as when I click on the mini pics below.?

?

I do see in one of your later posts responding to Imran’s query whether your work was by hand, a picture of you doing the work.? I agree with the others:? Amazingly beautiful work!??

?

I hope you continue to post.? If you can send the pictures in some other format . . . . , I would love to see them.? ?

?

Thank you!?

Hello everyone, I am new to the Forum. I don't know if we can share the work we do with our Felders. But since I see you as my friends, I wanted to share a humidor box I made with you. It is made of wenge wood. I used Spanish cedar inside. I used Lebanese cedar and purpleheart for the floor coverings. I made the Dali on the lid using 243 pieces of exotic wood with the marquetry technique. I hope you like it. Greetings from Turkey


Re: Hello everyone.

 

Wow, wow and wow! Incredible art as well as craft. It isn’t often we get to see such beautiful work both design and execution are super fine. Thanks for sharing.

John Sincerbeaux still does his marquetry by hand.

Thanks for the reminder Imran. I will do that.


Re: Hello everyone.

 

I'm so glad you liked it.

Re: Hello everyone.

 

I'm guessing the inlay work was done by hand?? It doesn't have the look of CNC'ed inlay.? Sadly, it seems like hand done inlay is an art form that's slowly fading away.? The work is beautifully done.? I hope you're proud of the accomplishment!

Burak,

Thanks for the details. BTW, we like people to sign their posts. Since you are new to FOG, just thought I mention it. You can set your email app to automatically insert your signature, so you don’t have to type every time.

Thank you for liking it Imran. It was a work that took about 350-400 hours. The work on the base was done both decoratively and for tobacco pests that do not like the smell of Lebanese cedar. The purpleheart was put there just to make it look good.

Hi Burak,

That is amazing. How many hrs of work is that?

I don’t know humidors. Is the feature on the bottom of the humidor decorative or has a function to keep cigars fresh?

Re: How much pressure does your pin nailer require?

Thanks Natanel, I called them today and they said that 90 to 95 PSI should do it. He did say that the hardest of woods could require 110PSI.

Asked me to check a few things which I will do on Monday, when I am back home.

One more thing, I checked the manual


It says not to exceed 120PSI, and that the operational pressure should be around 70-100PSI.
It is strange you need such a high pressure for 5/8" nails

Re: How much pressure does your pin nailer require?

 

Imran,

I also have the Grex 23g pin nailer, and 90-100PSI are sufficient to drive the pin through the surface.
I don't remember if I used it on hard maple, but for soft maple/walnut I am able to drive the nail (1-1/4") all the way.
?
I think I have a piece of hard maple at the shop and can try it tonight if that helps.


Processing Rails & Stiles for Cabinet Doors: Space Balls compatibility with 3/8” groove

 
Edited

I ordered 0.26” balls from panel buddies. I called them to confirm if they will be okay compressed to 1/8” (1/4” wide and 3/8” deep groove; 1/4” of the panel tongue to be in the groove) and they said it should be okay.
?
I thought that these made clamping a bit harder than it needs to be.
?
Is my use case considered normal?
?
Panel buddies also offer rectangular pads. Has anyone used these?

Got a long drive so might as well use this time to ask a few questions.

Finished my first raised panel door project and I have some questions. I would post them separately so the discussion is easier to follow.
