    Hi Maurice,

    I'd encourage you to give it a try and for lettering, I think you could go either way, especially if the letters are not tiny. Would definitely practice a bit and the key is fiddling...

    Hi all,

    My BIL is a big fan of koi fish and has a pond in his backyard that's the center of his landscaping. So I took that as inspiration to try a marquetry box with a fish for the first time. ...

    Derek is over the top as usual!

    I'm not that patient and usually take Tom's approach. If I was teaching or needing to move tools around often, I'd look hard at the wheeled tool boxes like the...
