In this video, I'll show you how to make beautiful round boxes that never change shape! Lids that swivel open effortlessly and automagically index closed. My techniques will work for round boxes or tubes. For this process, I use paper-backed veneer...NOT raw veneer. It's about the only thing I use paper-backed veneer for...and I prefer a 10 mil.
Best glue for adhering paper-backed veneer to PVC pipe is polyurethane glue (Gorilla Glue) or epoxy. Melamine glue will work as well, but doesn't have as good of a bond. But still works well. Always scuff PVC surfaces and clean pipe and back of veneer with acetone or denatured alcohol.
Grit Grip sand paper works well for providing that "tooth" or scuff needed for a strong glue bond. Check them out here: grit-grip.com/
I love that stuff! Of course, many grits are available.

I was starting to have withdrawals, you posted just in time. One of my favorite videos yet. You really are in a whole other league than others on RU-vid. Thank you for sharing. Perhaps you should consider doing an in depth & comprehensive series on working with veneers from start to finish or even a writing a book on the subject. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Your attention to detail is unmatched.

Thank you tons! This was a great surprise to wake up to! I apologize about not uploading YT vids lately…I had a rental that needed work and I got behind on everything else! I’ve been thinking about a veneer tutorial. There is a lot out there already but I have a few unique tips n tricks. Maybe one day. Thank you for the inspiration and for checking out my videos.

Another amazing video, Ramon. The balloon clamping is genius and there are so many other great tips and tricks in this video. I love how you have a specific sanding sequence to maximize your efficiency and to get perfect results. I've got a list of smaller projects I want to get done and the list is now a bit longer with these PVC boxes. Thanks Ramon!!!

Dude I almost passed up this video when I saw the PVC. So glad I didn't. Kick ass project. I never would have thought to apply veneer to PVC. Will definitely be checking out your other videos.

Awesome to hear! Thanks a ton

@waterboy8999 3 месяца назад

What a great video Ramon, one of your best! I love it. Before you glued up the inside I wondered what you "wood" use as a clamp, I thought a balloon might work, then the balloons came out! Fantastic, your work is second to none!

Absohleyely outstanding work. It’s just beautiful. Great job Ramón and thanks for sharing several tips including the type of glue used. I’m wondering what material is the blue side of one of the covers 🤔. Awesome!!!

@ramonartful 2 месяца назад

Thank you! I appreciate the good words! I used a dyed blue veneer…I believe it’s a bird’s eye Maple. Not sure where I got it.

@getdirecti0ns 3 месяца назад

Love it! Balloon is genius! How did you apply pressure to the veneer on those long necklace rods? Anytime I’m gluing veneer joints where there will be squeeze out I put yellow Frog tape (delicate surface) right up on the edges and any squeeze out stays off the show side of the veneer. Using only a clear finish over glue squeeze out is usually fine but anytime I need to stain the wood I have problems, especially with epoxy that has soaked in.

@ramonartful 3 месяца назад

thanks! On the necklace holders I used tape like normal...pulling the tape tight across the seams...that pressure applies to the overall section of veneer negating other clamps or pressure. But the length has to be just right. When dry fitting...the seam just barely comes together. With glue, the seam is almost open...but the stretch of the tape tightens things up. Makes sense, yeah? I don't remember having any issues with glue squeeze out at seams. It always gets cleaned up enough to not show up later. Even with stain...even though I don't use stain that often anymore. But I do think it's a great tip especially when working with epoxy. Thanks for the input !

@jeremiahbullfrog9288 3 месяца назад

I will forever think of balloons as "reverse vacuum bags" .. thanks for that brain worm lol

@ramonartful 2 месяца назад

Ha! I remember thinking one day…how could I keep that veneer tight inside…🤔 I need a “reverse vacuum bag”. Of course! Balloons! 🎈 😆 Thanks for watching

@MAVENdeNYC 3 месяца назад

These look like great hobby projects but can it be a profitable one? Accounting for all of the time and effort, it must quite expensive as a product. Do you only make them per order request or make multiple at once to be more productive?

@ramonartful 3 месяца назад

That's a great concern and one that I should have touched on. You're correct...they're too time consuming to be profitable...usually. I have made these and charged between 1K - 2K and explained to the customer for that justification. But in general, I like the skills that I gain...and usually just give these away. And yes, I typically make a few at a time. Thanks for the input!

@MAVENdeNYC 2 месяца назад

@@ramonartful thanks for the response. I was thinking they would have to be that expensive but only current loyal clients would be your best bet in selling them. I agree they seem like fun to make with interesting challenges to up our game and for good time at the shop (if one has the time and a shop) to do these for family and friends to make as gifts for those special people that will appreciate them.

@ramonartful 2 месяца назад

@MAVENdeNYC Once you're familiar with the process, they can be created fairly quickly. Burls are best for production...of course, marquetry added to the top is going to be the slowest, but perhaps the most rewarding. Thanks again

@gregorymacneil2836 3 месяца назад

The points have no value and re non-redeemable, but having said that, I will give you a million points for the balloon trick.

@ramonartful 2 месяца назад

Ha ha…I love that. And thanks for the points! 😬🙏🏼

@vulgarwoodworks 3 месяца назад

Well if this aint ironic? Im using PVC in a quasi-apothecary chest in lieu of building dozens of small drawers. Why over complicate things that will never see the light of day?

@ramonartful 3 месяца назад

Interesting…and I agree. I always disclose my intentions of using PVC when talking with a potential customer. Then I tell ‘em why. Most get it. I’ve never seen a solid wooden round box that hasn’t deformed over time. I find it interesting that high caliber yachts and jets have veneer all over the place…and people can get hung up on solid wood being superior. It still takes a highly skilled person to create something that not only good but will last a lifetime. I seldom use paper backed veneer for anything (other than my medallions) because the veneer is simply too thin. But here, it’s a good fit.

@vulgarwoodworks 3 месяца назад

@ramonartful as you say, transparency is key, and good design to mask the material seals the deal. Very cool project and tutorial. I really need to build up my patience and get back into using veneers. Too many fun and creative ideas in my bald dome that need attempting

@ramonartful 3 месяца назад

Yeah…veneer opens up so many possibilities!

@Qwiv 2 месяца назад

lol, you could have traced the pipe…..

@ramonartful 2 месяца назад

Yep, you’re right. But I wanted to show how to divide a circle into six segments in case someone wanted to make a 6 segment starburst. It’s simple geometry, but useful, yeah? Cheers
