My wife wanted an accent wall in our bathroom. The whole project with brick veneer was going to cost $700. Convinced her I could use my machine. At first I want the wood grain to pop through a white stain but it was looking too yellow. Ended up painting and making it look more like faux brick. Really enjoyed doing a project that wasnt for a customer and didnt require precision. Only took a $70 sheet of maple plywood.
@Clt49er I really like your hold down method.
It is called a gravity clamp…
Yeah. It wasnt moving even without my case of water. I was enjoying the lack of precision required. Need more projects like this. More of my speed!
My tiling wasnt great also. Had a gap of 1/8” ish between each tile. Solved it with my multi tool blade later on. And paint covered the rest.
Thanks! You created more work for me. Now my wife wants one…lol. That looks really great!
Cool idea. My wife has been wanting a brick veneer similar to what you did in our kitchen, but finding it has been difficult.
What thickness of a panel did you use?
It was 1/2” maple plywood.
I think there are better choices. I am kinda new. I would have had more issues if I only stained. Think my pocket depth was .10”. It went into the second or third layer of ply. There were some voids I covered with filler and paint. Think you could get a higher grade of ply with more quality layers. Baltic birch maybe?
