On Saturday Bob Brokaw demonstrated his veneering technique. He showed how to cut a sheet of veneer and apply it to a board. Bob used his vacuum press to hold the veneer in place until it cured. Bob also discussed how to construct a vacuum press like to one featured on www.joewoodworker.com . Bob's vaccum press cost a significant amount for the parts which he got as a kit from the joewoodworker website. Bob mentioned that are many other uses for a vaccum system such as clamping parts to a workbench or for a vacuum chuck on a lathe. It was also pointed out by several  members in attendance that there are many other sources for vaccum pumps as well as the other parts.

Please see the board notice in the last picture concerning the Huthmaker Violin shop in Duluth that is looking for someone to make a display stand for the shop.
