The June demo will be Dave Therkildsen on making acoustic guitars.
Since this may go long the demo for July is also Dave Therkildsen on
making acoustic guitars, cont..
.Demonstration So, we have seen much of Al’s work over the weeks. In fact
every week. How does he make all of those wonderful
boxes? Well, we can’t possibly get all of the “inside base-
ball” in one demo, but this month’s demo is certainly a start.
Below is an example of some of the marquetry boxes. The
box starts with the
lid. You can have a
wide variety of
choices for the lid
design by referenc-
ing clipart pictures
from the internet.
Pick a simple one for
your first attempt.
Then put your veneer
packet together with
no more than 16 lay-
ers of veneer. The
number of veneers
needed is relative to
the number of varie-
ties of wood / colors used in the lid design. For example the
packet for the floating duck would be many more than the
shamrock. Complete the packet with a waster board on the
top and the
bottom of the
pack. Attach
a copy of
your design
on top of the
packet and
drill a hole just large enough to get the scroll saw blade thru
the packet. Using a 2/0 blade cutout your pattern. The blade
should be perpendicular to the
packet with no angle. Place the ve-
neer pieces together to form the de-
sign and put veneer tape on the show
side to hold it together. You can now
glue this to the wood you have se-
lected for the top or lid of the box.

Demonstrations
Chuck’s Corner for Tricks of the Trade
Dave Therkildsen offered the tip this week. In doing some net
searching for guitar work he came across what he considered
one of the best tricks he has seen in awhile. When doing pattern
cuts with a router it is necessary to use double sided tape to affix
the pattern to the work piece. Some tapes (such as carpet tape)
can be quite aggressive and you can damage the work piece
when removing, especially a veneered piece.. No more with
this trick. Put masking tape on work piece and pattern. Put a
little CA (super) glue (doesn’t need to cover) on one piece of
tape. If desired spray the other piece of tape with accelerator
and press together. Now separating the pieces is as easy as re-
moving masking tape!.

Demonstration cont.
There are going to be a lot of pieces after the design is cut from the veneer packet so stay organized. Use melamine
caul boards to press the veneer flat when gluing and use clamps to provide the pressure. A vacuum press comes in
handy for this step if you have one. At this point the lid should be lar-
ger then the box so it can be sized later.
Select the wood for the body of the box and if it is thick enough
re-saw it so you can book match the sides or ends of the box. Try to cut
the pieces so the grain wraps around the corners for a nicer look. Now
miter the four corner joints and glue the box sides together. It helps if
you finish the inside surfaces of the box before you glue it together.
After the glue has dried, tape the lid to the box with an even overhang
all around the sides. You are now going to drill the four holes to put
the bullet points in that locate the lid to the box.
Place your forstner bit against the sides in the corner and drill a shal-
low hole for the dowels (bullet points). With the lid still taped to the
sides, use something that is about a 1/16” thick placed against the sides
and mark the lid. This will be the amount of overhang the lid has
compared to the sides. Untape the lid and sand it to the lines you just
marked. Install the bullet points in the holes
you drilled.
Make sure that the bottom is also larger than
the box and glue it onto the sides with an
even over hang all around. After the glue has
dried flush trim it even with the sides using a
“flush trim “V” groove bit”. This bit will trim
the bottom flush to the sides and will route a
small “V” groove at the same time as an ac-
cent. The bottom and the top of the lid can be
rounded over with a router bit.
You can now sand the parts and apply your favorite finish. Ok, if you are planning to bring your box to the next show
and tell I suggest you do not go after Al.
Show & Tell Projects
Projects by Charles Jaessing
Charles brings in several examples of cutting boards this month. He brings examples of apple, pear, pumpkin
Ohio, jug and square to name a few. The boards are solid and laminated (maple
and mixed) and are finished with mineral oil—only.

Projects by Rhonda Inman
This is Rhonda ….and she makes ornaments. (OK … Al didn’t have a show and tell this month.) We have
another compound Christmas ornament with her unique keepsake box. This offering is made of 100% canary
wood from the Brazilian rain forest. As I re-
call from her demo Canary wood is one of the
more difficult woods to work with in this type
of woodworking. The pieces are finished with
2 coats of ultra– cover Gloss clear spray.
Show & Tell Projects
Projects by Rodney Gruesbeck
Rodney brought in what he terms a “mega mallet” this month. The mallet is made form ash and is used as a very
heavy maul to split wood with a 14” splitting froe. It was turned on the lathe using a roughing and spindle
gouge. The long barrel was a bit of a joke … because it was there.

Show & Tell Projects
Projects by Dennis McCann This is a cedar Nautilus shell constructed of 27 precisely cut pieces using a scroll saw and then put to-
gether and finished. Getting some scroll lessons from Rhonda? This was a project from last month. I
wasn’t happy with the picture so I wanted to bring it back.
Projects by Steve Moss Steve brings his rendition of a band saw box. This is made of maple with a trans-tint dye. The handles are figured
maple. The finish is a wipe on Poly. Steve wishes to acknowledge Thom Pabst for his help on design and cutting
tips.
