Stock making

[johnbaz]

Hi

I made the plywood (HW80) stock of these using two pieces of 1" Birch ply (Scrap wood from our patternshop), I glued them together using PVA glue (Also from our patternshop!) and put a load of G clamps on to hold them together, I used a gouge that was intended for turning wood in a lathe to cut the inletting, Got it finished then sold it for some reaon!!

Try to arrange the mated sides 90° to each other for a seamless job

Apologies for thicko response but I don't get this and it sounds crucial.
Dim but willing. Jules

If you have the grain of ply running the same direction (The parts that are glued together) you'll get a 'twice as thick' ply running down the centre, He means make sure the two mating plys to be glued run 90° to each other, Mine both ran in the same direction!!

Thanks John. Crucial then as I suspected. Jules
P.S. Lots of waste for one offs then. J

Just finished cramping together using gorilla glue - jeez, it's messy.

Might be messy but it's the best there is for this job.
Basically the same glue used to make engineered timber frames used in large buildings.

chap near me built a DIY wind turbine a few years back. the blades are carved from a laminate of old school desks stuck together with gorilla glue. seamless build, looks great up close and has been outside for years without a single joint failing.

I've done stippling in the past, quite easy and very addictive. Used a Dremel.

Using a round burr bit, something around 3mm diameter.

I have found that marking out the area to be stippled first and then randomly in filling. It is actually harder than you think being random - but you definitely don't want to do it in lines.
