    Default Newbee wannabee

    Hello everybody,

    I am newly retired, and got a lot of time on my hands.

    This summer and autum I will be working on my boat build project.
    In winter it will not be possible to work in the boat shed, so I started looking for a hobby that can be done indoors.

    Googling around got me to this forum, and I think that with my skill level, and the (lack of) building space marquettery will fit the bill.

    On a side note I think that some marquettery in the boat's interior would be nice.

    So time to stop this little rant and go for the $100.000 question.

    Could you please name some books, manuals etc on the technique and the tools needed. So I can do some reading up on the matter.

    Thank you

    Cheers

    I'd suggest 'A Marquetry Odyssey' by Silas Kopf. Also have a look for some of his videos on U-tube.
