Have you ever wondered if you should use a ball peen or a claw hammer for veneering?  And is bigger better for hammers in veneering?  In fact, hammer veneering is a process that has been in use for hundreds of years.  Using simple tools and hide glue, veneering can be done in any shop.  Hammer veneering also allows the continuous veneering which is not limited by a vacuum bag or veneer press.  The key to this process is hide glue (described in associated link) which is made from animal parts and been used since the days when the Egyptians were building pyramids.  During these session you will learn the importance of hide glue for veneering and construction and the tools and techniques for veneering.
