IN the above sawdust session I have few questions on veneer,

1) What was the glue used?

2) The veneer jig can you tell me how you make the top bars for clamping with taper?

3) if doing a round table top what would be your suggestion for cutting the veeneer in a circle? It does not go to the outside edge so laminate trimming will not work, ( i think)

4) the laminate saw can someone post a picture of it?

"What was the glue used?"
Plastic resin.

"The veneer jig can you tell me how you make the top bars for clamping with taper?"
Not sure what you mean by "clamping with taper."

"...what would be your suggestion for cutting the veeneer in a circle?"
Mount an Exacto knife in a long 1x2 board -- all you have to do is drill a hole for the round handle. Drill a second hole, 1/16" in diameter, to serve as a pivot. Mount the veneer stock temporarily on a scrap of plywood with veneer pins. Drive a wire nail through the pivot hole, through the center of the nveneer stock, and into the plywood. Cut the veneer circle by dragging the Exacto knife around the pivot. After several circuits, it will cut through the veneer.

With all good wishes,

Thanks nick,

The veener jig you said that they had 1/8 round and 1/4 round. Maybe I am making it to complicated, did you just cut the cross braces free hand or did you use and arc or circle jig to complete them?
