Chevalet de Marqueterie

Ah yes, the infamous “marqueteer’s donkey”. I’d build one for myself if I had room for it, but as it is now I set up my scroll saw, band saw, disk/belt sanding center or drill press on top of my table when I want to use them.

Nice job. When do we get to see some of the work from it?

Attached is a picture of my first marquetry piece, an occasional table top.

Very Cool! Any chance of a blog on the build?

That is so awesome. I too Have the 510 with the table upgrade I luv it. I would like to see a video on the Chevalet de Marqueterie to see that bad boy in action. Great job shipwrite.More ! more!

Hey Paul, this looks a pretty tricky build, well done, obviusly didn’t sit around gathering dust. never had a go at marquetry but do marvel at thoes who have conqured it.
when do we see the real action from it ? :))

knuckles on the shopsmith, I need to research your chevalet, it looks cool and fun to build, great job!

I’d like to see a short video too. It seems like the ultimate coping saw fixture with an awesome clamping system for what is being cut. I like that what you are cutting is right in front of you.

The Galoots would be proud, except they couldn’t use a SS to make one.

Paul,

I have a chevalet, too, but I’m thinking about trading for a Ford . . . Oh, that’s Chevrolet ;-)

You have to be a genius to figure out something like that, but having seen your work, you’re only re-confirming that fact for us now! Can’t wait to see the results. We’d love to be able to see your “chevy” up-close-and-personal. And we’d love to read a blog series on it also. Besides Europe, where can someone see one of these in action?

Now I gotta do research because I don’t know what it is but I want one.

Looks great! I still have no idea what the heck it is… Looking forward to a video of it in action!

Great job Paul. It looks FANTASTIC.
