Notes from Joe
- The picture above shows an 8 oz. bottle of softener, but we now ship this combo package with a 16 oz. (pint) size bottle instead.
- X-Press veneer adhesive is not suitable for multi-layer laminations, extra-thick veneers, or crotch grain veneers. PPR glue such as Ultra-CAT™ is a better option for these types of uses.

Comprehensive Review
Review by Jonathan Danforth
Rating:
I usually avoid buying combo kits of tools like this because inevitably I already own something that's good enough for the job. In this case, I already owned a J-roller and a veneer saw but nevertheless I was delighted with this kit. Everything was well packaged and honestly turned out to be useful. There's no filler in this kit. It's all gold. This is obviously put together out of many years of experience.
* Gummy Paper Tape: Excellent! I never would have thought to buy that stuff but it's 100% fit for purpose. I'll never use another tape on the front of my work again.
* Glue: Fantastic. See my separate review.
* Softener: I have not used this. I'm sure that it's great.
* Blue Tape: It's blue tape but you know what, it's in the box and ready for you. I like that.
* Glue Roller: Does what it says. Make sure you rinse it out to reuse later.
* Veneer Saw: Great. Make sure you practice. I find that cutting across the grain first usually gives me the best results. Any tearout I get is usually cut off when I cut the long grain anyway. Put a bit of tape down on the start and stop of your cut to help prevent the tearout too.
Hard Roller: Does what it does, comfortable to hold, small enough to be convenient. I have a big J-roller too but it's overkill for squeezing out the water from paper tape. You will want a larger roller if you're planning to flatten wavy veneer though.
Spongey Thingy: I am SO happy that I got this. It was the perfect thingamabob for preparing the paper tape and for removing it.

What You Need

The kit had everything in it that I needed. I would recommend that you consider a larger size of the veneer softener. I had to be pretty conservative with what I had to complete my project.

This is a great kit if you are just starting out. Everything you need for several veneer project is included. Don't think you don't need all of this stuff if you don't have it already… you do need it. Tape, saw, roller, etc. Joe is very responsive to answer questions. This was a must have for my first veneer project.

Review by David Clark

I waited too long to get these tools in the veneer drawer! The glue roller was a real surprise to me and it works wonderfully. I like the way Joe interacts on a personal level, the orders come quickly and service is great! That's why I like doing business with them.

Humidor - First Veneer Attempt - Success!!
Review by Nick Pelliccione
Rating:
I'd like to support Veneer Supplies on a number of items. I purchased this item, as well as the vacuum system, the mesh and the polyurethane bag along with curly maple and walnut veneer. This is my first attempt at veneering which I used to make a humidor as a gift for a friend. Overall it was a great experience and I could not recommend these folks more highly. They provide great products, fabulous support and give you confidence to do this. I used the vacuum kit to veneer the curly maple to the sides of my humidor, as well as my own veneer of ambrosia maple for the top. I followed the superb instructions as provided in the numerous online support documents and it worked great. I look forward to more projects in which I will use these products to obtain high quality end results. Of course, the service was also fabulous and they will answer any question - no matter what related to veneer - clearly, and in record time. I highly recommend Veneer Supplies if you are even remotely considering veneering in your woodworking.

It's got everything you need to get started! I was a total noob. Never did any hand veneering before. This kit got me started, which is oftentimes the hardest part of any project.

My Project Turned Out Really Well
Review by John Dymond
Rating:
This is a great way to start into veneering. It has all the material needed to create some great looking veneered panels. I was building a classic Vienna Regulator clock case from walnut, and needed to bookmatch a backer panel. With no background in using veneer, equipped with this kit plus the information available on joewoodworker.com, my project turned out really well!

Very Happy and Pleased
Review by Randy Green

Everything it said it was. I actually went to this company after viewing a veneering project video by the Woodsmith Shop. They used these products on the show. I immediately ordered and received it yesterday. The best packaging job I have ever seen. I love it and will return to Veneer Supplies again. Quality is excellent.

Amazon Can't Do This.
Review by Randy Meyer
Rating:
As a newbie to veneering I thought this would make it a lot simpler than trying to piecemeal the needed tools one by one and messing up projects along the way by not having the essentials. Joe was quick with an email offering some advice and even answered a question I had on a Saturday evening. Amazon has never done that.

A Great Kit
Review by Shawn Roland
Rating:
I'm new to veneering but have been working with wood for 15 years in various capacities. Veneer work has always seemed a bit out of reach for me but I have no idea why. I had some questions that I sent to the owner of this website (Joe) and he replied very quickly and with uncommon enthusiasm. I ended up buying a vacuum press system from a local cabinet shop that is going out of business but I asked Joe for his opinion on vacuum bags and a selection of start-up supplies. He gave me a lot of helpful info and I ordered the next day. The items arrived late last week and I used them over the weekend on a test board with some walnut veneer. The results were near perfect.
So this is a great kit. The price is reasonable and I feel like the shipping cost was very good... especially considering that Joe rushed my order through so it would arrive by Friday. The kit includes a nice size bottle of veneer softener and a quart of veneer glue. The glue roller is a must-have part. The veneer saw is perfectly sharpened and the other kit parts are excellent as well.
I would buy this again and I recommend it for all budding veneer users.

Good Deal But Order with a Vacuum Kit
Review by Adam Taylor
Rating:
Joe suggested this little kit to me to go with the Excel vacuum press I bought last week. It has everything shown on the picture. Not much to say about the veneer tape and moistener thing but I can't get over how sharp the veneer saw is and how well the veneer softener works.
This is a good deal and I recommend that you buy it when you order you vacuum press so that you save on the shipping. I dont know why I didnt think of it but I forgot to order this with my kit so I had a lot tied up in shipping costs. I needed some walnut burl anyhow so no big deal.

Review from Canon City, Colorado
Review by Gordon Kemler
Rating:
I am an experienced woodworker and I thought I would give veneering a try. My wife and I found a very nice chest of drawers and a dresser that needed the veneer replaced at a local antique store so we said, why not give it a try? I ordered this kit after I had done the research and it seems to have everything that I could use for this first attempt at veneering this dresser. The products were very well thought out with the assortment of items that you will need. My order was shipped in a timely manner and it was very well packaged. Everything was as described. I would highly recommend this product along with Joe and his company very highly. His information on veneering to the newbie was very helpful.

Review from Falls Church, VA
Review by Alasdair Keith

This is my first purchase from Joe. The products came in two(!) days and were packed beautifully. I have not used any of them yet but the quality is apparent, especially the rosewood veneer. Joe also followed up after the order with a great level of detail and a sincere offer of any veneering advise I might need. Great experience that you could never get from a large online retailer.

Review from Frankfort, IN
Review by Jeff Waggoner
Rating:
I am very impressed with both the products and service. This was our first time to try veneering and we started by reading all of the FAQs. We then ordered all of the veneers and supplies. The next day I received an email saying it was on its way and offering to answer any questions. I sent a question and got an immediate response. This kind of service is very rare today and I will be a customer for life.

Review from New York, New York
Review by Josh A.
Rating:
As you start a project and still in the learning process, the most frustrating thing is to find at the last minute that you can't start because you miss a single tool to tackle the job. This kit provides everything needed but the press and the veneer.
I must admit that I looked and quickly dismissed at the veneer tape moistener. After the first project was done I realized how something so simple, that could be grossly replaced with a wet cloth and a cup of water could make the whole experience of gluing and taping (a bit under the sword to be within the open time), more efficient and cleaner. Recommended without any reservations!

It is very well organized and extremely informative.

Reasonable Price on Great Starter Kit
Review by Thomas H.
Rating:
I was happy to be able to get everything I needed to get started in vacuum-bag veneering (along with my new Excel 5) in a nice package. The Combo consists of all the things I would've purchased anyway, so this made it easy, and the price was very reasonable. Best of all, the included items are of very nice quality. For example, the Two Cherries saw is already honed and ready to use.
When you add in the great service provided by Joe Woodworker, it just makes sense to buy what you need for veneering here. BTW, the sales that come along every now and then make a good thing even better!

Excellent
Review by Eddie Hopkins
Rating:
This review is not so much about this combo deal (which is very good by the way) but more about the customer support you get from Joe and Christine. You're going to be pleasantly surprised when you email this company. They do actually reply to their customers and they do appear to care that your project comes out successfully. I've emailed Joe about 12 times in 3 or 4 days and each time I got a polite and intelligent answer within a short time frame. If you have questions about veneering, this is the place to be.

Not A Bad Deal
Review by Greg Hughes

I'm just getting into veneering and I wanted to get everything I needed without spending a fortune. This kit has all of the stuff I needed to get going with my first project which was a walnut burl humidor. The project turned out great. The parts of this combo deal are all top quality. I'm very satisfied.

Everything Exceeded My Expectations
Review by David Ragan
Rating:
I had read some on veneering (all over the internet), and some folks make it sound so hard and easy to make mistakes. However, with all the information, and sincerity of Joe and his website, it increased my comfort level to a point I was willing to "take the plunge". I got the Excel 5, the starter kit, a fancy bag, and of course some veneer.
Everything has exceeded my expectations, Joe always returns emails, giving tracking numbers and answering emails. For instance I just found out one of my questions was addressed in his website. the Excel 5 is exceptionally quiet for an industrial machine, was easy to assemble, and the tools and glue with the kit are perfect. I might also add that the veneer saw is razor sharp, and beveled perfectly. the veneer I purchased had wifezilla and her mother salivating at the possibilities, it is so gorgeous (almost as much as wifezilla). When Joe has AAA veneer, it really is AAA.
My opinion is that he, like me, a small business person realizes that impeccable service and products at a reasonable price are the keys to success. Your reputation is everything in this world to the small business person. Joe deserves a great reputation, that I believe he has.
I would absolutely say there is no better reason to rack up your credit card if you are a woodworker and are not yet veneering. The process has come a long way in the last 40 years, and is now a science, not "cheap" stuff. If you approach it carefully with diligence, you'll be amazed, like me and ever so glad to have a resource like Joe to help guide you.
Take the plunge, you'll be glad you did-Joe is the best.

Just What I Was Hoping For
Review by Allan Wenzer
Rating:
This kit is exactly what I was hoping for. It has the basic tools you need to get started in veneering once you have the vacuum press project completed. Everything included with the kit worked wonderfully. The glue roller is a must-have item and the veneer softner pint is enough to hold me over for several months.
This is a great buy for anyone getting started.
