The old techniques were so laborious. I was one of the last marquetry makers in the UK before laser cutters came in. This video makes it look very difficult but really its very simple. All it takes is practice.
That glue is the smell of my childhood. My father was a cabinetmaker and used to warm it up on the kitchen stove. The whole house smelt of it. I could smell it again as I watched the video.
This marquetry is in 2 colors, brass and shell. For this demonstration we used horn as shell is a controled substance. The pack is build with a backerboard (3mm soft wood) a layer of brass and a layer of horn and a front board (1.5 - 3mm soft wood). There is also grease paper for lubrification of the balde made with newpaper and tallow. The thickness of the material needs to be consistent. It this demonstration the brass and the horn were 1.5mm thick.
Um excelente trabalho artístico, colocando em nosso momento a arte dos grandes artesões do passado. Gostaria se possível mencionar onde coletar informações sobre a construção desta maquina de corte com pedal. Agradecido.

I used to get this stuff in the worst shape. We used resins to make what fixes we could, but brass that bends... stretches :/

Delightful, masterful, divine! What can anyone say to such mastery.
One practical question: how thick is the brass sheet being worked?
Indranil Banerjie 1.5 mm
What are the materials he layers at the start?
Is it just the brass, and different veneers? Or a few other things?
Thanks.
