I need to shorten my learning curve on veneering. I've built a vacuum system and made the bags. So far flat panels are no problem but curved ones are a little tougher. Could anyone recommend the best book they have personal experience with?

Thanks, Perry

Perry,
Prior to taking a class on vacuum veneering, I found The Veneering Book by David Shath Square and the videos by Darryl Keil most helpful. The Veneering Book was published by Taunton, but is out of print. You can still find used ones with a websearch. Darryl's video called Working in a Vacuum covers advanced topics like curved surfaces. You can get it through his company VacuPress (www.vacupress.com) You can also post questions on the VacuPress forum. Daryl is very active there and answers most questions.

I'll second the recemmendation for the video's from vacpress - the advanced one covers curves, etc. The forum there is also a good source of information.
