[Video] Basic marquetry with TS 55 plunge saw

[bbeaulant]

Hi Festool owners,

Recently, to achieve the following desk project, I would like to explore an other way to use my TS 55 to make basic marquetry.
Maybe it can inspire someone here, then I share it.



Here is a video that show you how I made this board. It’s a mix of oak veneer and maple.



Regards.

Nicely done and quite the humorous introduction.  [big grin]

Loveyour video and your design.  Hope that more people who do marquetry and veneer work discover the advantages that the track saw gives them.

Thank you Peter and Steve !

Yes, tack saw is not just an other tool. It's for me a new way to do some things easily.

[member=36505]Boris Beaulant[/member] is there a reason why you move the TS55 backwards?

Stunning job there. That is a really really nice top. How did you do the side panel?

[member=50466]Jeff abcd[/member], I move the saw backward to have a cleaner cut. This is possible because the cut depth is 2mm only.

Cool  [big grin] Thanks for sharing that video. Is that a special disc in the grinder there?

 

[bbeaulant]

I don't know the english word fort this kind of disc. But here is a picture :

I would call it a sanding disc. That's a really cool way to do it.

Inspired from the master : Jory Brigham

Your work is very refreshing.
Even the Mrs was impressed with it.

I don't know the english word fort this kind of disc. But here is a picture :

[attachthumb=1]

"Flap disc", because there are 'flaps' of paper.

(A flap wheel has flaps also, but it a cylinder shape rather than a disc)

 

[bbeaulant]

"Flap disc", because there are 'flaps' of paper.

Ok, in french we call that a "Disque à lamelles" because there are "Lamelles" of paper.

... but do think your bandsaw looks scary  [scared]

Arf ...
