  • Musical instruments have been made far longer than there have been power tools. Methods of cutting veneer with hand saws are documented from hundreds of years. Roubo on Marquetry covers it well enough for your purposes I think. DM me and I’ll send you a .pdf.

    Where in the world are you located? I have material in yellow cedar- a tone wood very similar to spruce- in pieces 6" wide x thick veneer to 3/8" thick, very tight vertical grain that I can supply you with at an attractive price.

    It looks like you’re in Europe so shipping may be prohibitive. I’m in the USA.












  • There are 3 ways to improve the cut on a smoother. 1 close the mouth 2 increase the cutting angle 3 adjust the chipbreaker close.

    None of them are magic bullets, and for the most part you have to use one of them. Sometimes you can use mostly one and a little bit of another, but if you max out all 3 you’ll have a badly choking mouth.







  • In what let’s call the Jewish diaspora there is a strong thread of fascism. The fascists currently (and for some time now) are in control of the israeli government. If the israeli people were not in support of such fascism they are doing a poor job of expressing it. Globally fascism among jews is not universal, probably not even a majority though I have no hard data here. Anecdotally among the Jewish people I know there is one rabidly fascist of the kill all the Palestinians ilk, a few who claim not to support genocide but will get loud and in your face at any criticism of it and many who are disgusted by it and will openly say so. Your mileage may vary.
