Sarge the consensus from the 6 old Jarheads is you are one fine craftsman. But, of course, the Gunny wanted me to say he has trousers older than you. LOL. Stay safe and continue on with your craft. We say Semper Fi Doggie.
Fantastic detail and precision work. Even though it's not my style, I can't help but admire it. The initial red crosses don't have the third dimension of the finals :)... accept a European hug
@@helderlage thanks! So…..admittedly, I’m terrible at the video and editing side of things. I forgot to video adding the top and base to both cabinets and the walnut dimensioning feature of the crosses🙄🙄😏. Sorry about that, man. One day I’ll get the hang of all this. Haha
@@averagejoesworkshop thanks, Man! Check out Veneersupplies.com (if you haven’t already) They have a sale this Friday (Black Friday) on their pump kits. I’ll be upgrading as well!
@@scottrodman7125 thanks, man👊👊. This wedge was made by Dirty Leg Craftsman. Got it about 2 years ago and absolutely love it. Last I heard, he was planning on making more in the near future. Highly recommend
@@TWC6724 Thanks, man 👊👊. For the most part, I’m using 1/42 veneer. However, the bloodwood for this project was a hair thicker. This presented some issues during the glue-up with the thinner neighboring veneer. Lot of lessons learned on this build!
I saw you have your glue in little bottles, Is that just for convenience or do you store the bulk in a way to prolong its shelf life. And, was that hide glue you used to glue that complete sheet tothe door panel?
@@1deerndingo I started using smaller bottles simply because of the ease of use. It’s easier to use and much more convenient. Not to mention it’s much less wasteful than the larger bottles with the larger tips. And for the panel glue-up, I used Old Brown Glue. This offers tremendous benefits if you have to make adjustments/fixes afterwards (which for this build I did).
@@1deerndingo Haha - so this is one of two processes that I wasn’t able to capture for this video (because of my terrible video skills 🤣). Once I had the door panel glued-up (with the cross) I decided that it needed more dimension. I sliced up some thin walnut strips, laid them on the panel and traced them with a knife. I then carefully removed the veneer waste with a router plane and then added the walnut strips with hide-glue. Once that was done, it went back into the vacuum press.
@@505Daniel I actually use blue painters tape to pull the seams tight. I will add the tape to one side of the veneer, then pull the tape tight before adding it to the matching veneer. This pulls both sheets together and creates a super-tight seam
Those are both very beautiful. It is wonderful when you can turn a necessity into a work of art.
@@jimmcnett Thank you, Jim! I can confirm that this cabinet was a necessity. 🤣🤣🩸🩸
Top craftsman on UA-cam! I would poke myself in the eye just to use that cabinet!
@@masonry201 🤣🤣 I’d let you just so I could use it, too. 🤣
Beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing.

@@williamshaffer2562 Haha - thanks, William! Might be time to get Gunny some new trousers 😁🤣
Those are beautiful. Not a huge veneer fan, but your veneer work is exceptional!

I am ordering a vacuum press and accessories on Black Friday. Excited to try veneering. Nice build!

Pure craftsmanship
Who makes the dovetail wedge or adapter for your combination square?
Thanks again for great content!!!!

Nothing but excellence. Man, I have to get into veneering. What thickness veneer you working with?
@@TWC6724 Thanks, man 👊👊. For the most part, I’m using 1/42 veneer. However, the bloodwood for this project was a hair thicker. This presented some issues during the glue-up with the thinner neighboring veneer. Lot of lessons learned on this build!

How did you go about applying the dark veneer to the edges of the central cross?
@@1deerndingo Haha - so this is one of two processes that I wasn’t able to capture for this video (because of my terrible video skills 🤣). Once I had the door panel glued-up (with the cross) I decided that it needed more dimension. I sliced up some thin walnut strips, laid them on the panel and traced them with a knife. I then carefully removed the veneer waste with a router plane and then added the walnut strips with hide-glue. Once that was done, it went back into the vacuum press.
So the old brown glue is the secret to no glue lines without gluing the seams first?
@@505Daniel I actually use blue painters tape to pull the seams tight. I will add the tape to one side of the veneer, then pull the tape tight before adding it to the matching veneer. This pulls both sheets together and creates a super-tight seam
@@RPBasilio cool, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. I also use an exacto knife over a veneer saw. Feels way more accrate to me.
