Subject : Hammer Veneering Expert Lurking?

I realize that one does not use a vacuum press when hammer veneering, but am hoping there is someone out here cross trained.

I'm ordering a hide glue pot for furniture construction, and just happen to have a hollow-shaped repair awaiting a bid that would seem well suited to hammer veneering. I plan to try out hammer veneering on some scrap, but I'm curious as to how long, in a 70 degree environment, one might have to rub out the veneer? More generally, how does one tell when it has been "hammered" long enough?

Don

Don,

I am definitely no hammer veneering expert but I have talked with a number of woodworkers who are and some of them do use the bag in conjunction with hammer veneering.

They spread the glue, put it in the bag and then use the veneering hammer right on the bag. Whether this is a acceptable technique or not I dont know, only that its been done this way.

I think the most recent issue of Fine Woodworking has a hammer veneering article, I think in the "Master class" section.

I've hammer veneered some. The rub time is quite short, and you know when your done when it stays stuck down. Under normal conditions, you also want to go till there is no more glue squeezing out.

Rob Millard has posted his technique a number of times on the Fine Woodworking forum. You can find his techniques described on his webside: www.americanfederalperiod.com

Hammer veneering is a great thing to have in one's bag-o-tricks. My own technique is (shall we say) in development.
