Thread: the art of marquetry

Easy when you have a machine, I think it takes the ART out of marquetry

Machine + vinyl = crap.

It is not art.

Still art whichever way you want to look at it, skills in most works of art are being changed perhaps we can't or don't want to adapt, nothing wrong with doing whatever different.

Available next week at your local $2 shop.

I have a mate who did the stuff for the Parliament House at 80 plus his work is still in demand.

Maybe this amazing new way of making stuff could be used to fix Geoff’s flood damaged cabinet.
Just think none of that labour intensive sawing of special rare timber into veneer.
Im sure a 12 year old gaming guru could do the program and it could be Made in China next week.

Like 3D printing 30 years ago end product was gunna fall out the bum of your computer.
Sure will if you’ve an F1 team and a million dollar printer.

Nah! You need a $10 million machine to print an F1 car.

A bit of existential philosophy: Remember that in 1943 IBM president Thomas Watson famously predicted that there was a potential world wide demand for about five computers.

Now just imagine if 3D printers evolved to become replicators as effective as those in Star Treck, what would be the world wide demand for replicators?

Surprisingly, the answer is one. Its first task would then be to replicate 1,000,000 replicators.

Hence, because of market demand, one, no company will ever produce a replicator!
