Free Chapter Download: Vacuum Press Basics
Mar 22, 2011
Be sure to download a free chapter from Darryl Keil's latest book, Vacuum Pressing Made Simple.
My first foray into the world of vacuum pressing came on the heels of a desire to build the absolute best humidor I could muster. For that, I settled on a solid mahogany box with rosewood veneer on the exterior. While I could have handled the veneer using clamps and a couple of pieces of MDF, I decided to experiment, and instead, turned to a little vacuum press nestled in the rear corner of our shop here at Fine Woodworking. The reward? Easily applied, perfectly flat veneer with nary a bubble to be seen.
In this free chapter download from Darryl Keil’s Vacuum Pressing Made Simple, you’ll learn about the basic method behind pulling a vacuum that performs flawlessly. Vacuum pressing opens up an entire new world of artistry to the intrepid woodworker and quite frankly, I’ll never tackle another veneer job without “the bag!”

Seems to be a problem getting to the Chapter download page, or is it me ?
Same problem for me.
Thanks for the heads-up folks. I'm working on this technical error as we speak. Should have the download working very shortly.
Thanks much and sorry for the hassle.
Best,

Hi again folks.
You should be all set now. Enjoy!

Can't buy the book as a PDF to read on my iPad? Can't view the video on fww nor access the flash content with the iPad either.....fww, you guys need to make your website and bookstore more friendly for mobile devices. I want to spend more money with you, but you make it so hard.

Thanks Gina. I didn't see all the ebooks available. That's very cool. The videos available for the ipad look pretty limited right now as far as a member basis. I may wait that one out. Thanks for the quick response!
