For those comfortable with veneering basics who want to learn more advanced techniques, this video explores the possibilities of veneering curved and shaped work. With a vacuum press woodworkers are introduced to a host of veneering and laminating options. Projects that were previously too difficult can be easily executed by using vacuum. This video covers: constructing curved forms, creating curved panels, veneering a cylinder and bull nose shelf using two step gluing techniques, applying veneer to moldings, and laminating an arched jam and spiral staircase stringer - as well as a section on pump and bag maintenance . Every project is thoroughly examined and demonstrated. If you want to maximize vacuum's potential in your shop "Working in a Vacuum" can help advance your veneering skill.
