Also interesting. I do need to try one of these. Thanks.

That's looks very interesting.
Thus far I've had seemingly good results with larger panels by quickly hammering well-flattened panels down as well as I can with little or no ironing and letting the glue set up--without worrying...

Good idea. I'm still looking at soldering stations and how they work. Ideal temperature for a hot-hide-glue pot is given as 140 degrees F. Low-temperature settings of commercial clothes irons...
I really like Honeywell Titmus prescription safety frames (which claim to meet ANSI Z87.1 standard), which are available from several online sources. I wear mine 16 hours/day (mostly without, I'm...
Can anyone advise on a way to closely control the temperature of an electric iron for use in hammer veneering? The lowest settings on the commercial irons I've used produce quite high temperatures,...
It was. :)
Bill: The slides are approximately 3/4" x 1-1/2" poplar, as shown in the picture. They’re rabbeted 3/8" deep to accept the edges of the glued-in drawer bottom, as shown in the rear-view sketch.

Mel: Thanks very much. I agree that the feet should be darker. I tell myself flaws can sometimes be endearing. The very bottoms of the feet aren't actually curved (if that's what you're looking at):...
John Ten Eyck: Thank you. I used Waterlox on the front and sides because I like it. However, it doesn't harden well for me. Thin coats of Arm-R-Seal do, so I used that on the tops and connected...
Here is a first chest of drawers. It’s a simple, post and panel chest on chest made of veneered plywood panels braced with poplar web frames. The NK-style drawers have veneered fronts, routed...
Robert, thanks for replying. I was hoping someone would put in a good word for shellac. I really like Waterlox, but in in my hands it never seems to get very hard. Maybe I've been putting on too...
I’m trying to decide what to put on the top of the lower case of a chest-on-chest I’m making. I’m looking for something tough and repairable that I can apply with a brush or a rag. The chest top in...
I'm trying to decide on a clear finish to brush or wipe on the top of the lower case of a chest-on-chest I'm building. I'd like it to be possible to use the two cases separately as low chests.
The...
Thank you all for responding.
William: What I have in mind is a post-and-panel carcass with 3/4" plywood side panels whose edges are rabbet-dadoed and glued into 1.5” posts, and with web frames...
Hello. I’m planning a chest of drawers with veneer-over-plywood side panels. I expect to cover the insides of the side panels with balancing veneer. I wonder if the balancing veneer could in any...
