Rochester Woodworkers Society


Jeff shows flexible backing material called "wigglewood"	He shows some examples of various designs that can be created	Different directions create diamonds, starbursts, and more	The workshop was videotaped for the RWS library for those not able to attend

Edge treatments include veneer to spline attached solid wood ...	to thin stock attached	Jeff's example to explain the 5 ply material	Here he shows the typical veneer tape used to prepare materials for gluing

Here you see the face side with tape holding the pieces as well as reinforcing the edges	One of the more recent timesavers is a veneer "stitching" machine	It uses a fiberglass fiber that is glued to the veneer to hold the pieces in place	The front rollers push the work together as the fiberglass and glue zig zags across the pieces

The result is a fastening technique that is much quicker to use	Jeff's many years of experience have taught him some valuable time & mat'l saving techniques	He demonstrates a heat pressing technique for doing edge banding with veneer	Glue is applied to both surfaces, when both are almost dry, they are pressed and heat bonds the glue
