A friend of mine, who winters in AZ and is from the western coast of Canada, built this beautiful machine I thought you folks would enjoy reading about. 


He gave me a few lessons on it and it is one great piece of woodworking as well as a fabulous machine for marquetry. 


Here's the link to his blog on LumberJocks. Chevalet de Marqueterie


Enjoy.

That is pretty nice Gene. Really nice in fact. A tool, and a piece of art at the same time with a useful purpose. Marquetry is something most serious woodworkers are going to have to learn some day or another. It really opens up a new world of dynamics in furniture making. Way Gene, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Gene, that is pretty cool. I have always wanted to learn more about that, just can't right now work it into my schedule. But one day!!

Paul has graciously offered his help any time I'm ready to build one. 


I think I'd like to get much better with a scroll saw before committing to building a "donkey".


Next weekend (3/17), we'll be at Paul's place inspecting his shop built drum sander. I'll probably play around with the donkey some more, too. Maybe, It'll change my mind.


I know that he does some really fantastic stuff with it.
