Excellent as usual 🙂
Thanks for this video Steve! Need to do some inlay in a box or so!
I’ve been wanting to do inlays for awhile now. I think you helped with your method. Makes perfect sense to me cut those stops on the outside of blade. Thank you for you for your simple and straight to the point videos.
Nice detail!
Absolutely fantastic videos, thank you! I’ve got a question for you or user experienced workers:
What do you do if your inlay is a hard wood but the surface is a soft wood? If it’s slightly above the surface, when you sand it down I’d expect that you’ll also sand down the soft wood more and retain an undesirable bump.
I have to do a brass inlay work using 3mm square brass rods, I intend to use veneered mdf as a subtrate to avoid solid wood board movement. However, I am concerned if I use the hand router or a CNC to make groves for the brass, then the veneer may chip off during the routing. The inlay design would be geometric lines. Any advises to avoid the chip off of the veneer would be highly appreciated. Thanks and best..
Very cool!!
Thanks
You’re the first one to say things both inches and centimeters. Sounds silly but for non american’s watching this really helps a lot. You’re the best!
Edit: I just saw you did a video on this last month! Not sure how I missed this!
I hope you see this. Quick question: when you do a quick spray lacquer like that, what exactly are you using, and if you have time, why did you pick that one? Thank you!
I love that you think ahead of any differences between your shop and others’ and address how they might address it, like if their fence does not meet the table as yours does. Your videos are very well thought out.
Do u have hair inlay on your forehead
I really like the first technique. Seems the most comfortable. I have a blade that cuts out 1/8 and bought some thin boards that thickness on eBay. That only works if he pieces you get are precise and it’s not always that way. But I think I’ll try your first method here. Just seems safe.
Great video Steve!
Thanks Steve, I gotta try this.
Nice and simple – makes me think I could give it a whirl
Great Editing!
Man, that paper feeder for your painting point is gorgeous! My compliments!
This piece belongs in a museum
Thanks for the glue/sanding/sawdust hint. I am sure it would present a better appearance than filler. I will try to remember it for future use.
Steve: You can usa a dado…
Germans in Germany: Oh no he didn’t
Tks 🙂
I wanted to do this, this video is very intimidating.
Steve I have one basic question for you. On your table saw, what blade are you using please? Do you find a 100 or higher tooth count blade makes smoother cuts?
Another informative video Steve. Thank you!
Furniture with custom inlay looks better, as if woman make up. I’ll try to do it later.
9 minutes of a single inlay demonstration, it’s all about tools adverts. Steve showing us how to earn money from youtube!
At 6:40 , another option is to use strong double sided tape and stick your thin work-piece on a square scrap and run it through your tablesaw
Great video!
For the second method, what about stacking them up and putting a brad in each end?
Learn to use a hand plane to thin down strips to final thickness and use a dial or digital caliper to measure accurately for tight fit. Also a properly tuned hand plane will allow removal of excess inlay protruding up on surface while leaving a silky smooth surface.
Purty.
Purple heat in walnut looks alright but I don’t really recommend purple heart unless you have a really sharp blade as it burns easily. Cut a piece on miter saw white a worn blade and the end grain was solid black.
Great videos that help me out all of the time!!
Steve, thanks for this video I enjoyed it. Even adding it my saved playlist. Until next time. *Chris*
I like it!
I’m really liking these more down to earth videos.
Love this hair cut on you!
This is a bit random, but I just subscribed because a tip in one of your old videos has kept resurfacing in my head. In that video, you posed the question, "Is it possible to resharpen a disposable razor?" Then, instead of milking it for some viewing time, you answered it with "Yes, just use some old jeans." Every time I use this tip I think of this channel and the way you delivered that advice.
A great basics video would be on standard sizes of lumber and how best to use sizes for different type of projects. I’m still learning and it’s something that would be hugely useful so you come home with the best materials for your project
You are very good at explaining your techniques. You must be a teacher! 🙂 I like your trick on sanding the pin strips when the glue is not completely dry…..i also like the spray gadget for the spray can finish!! Where can one find one of these?
my favorite thing to do is, fill the inlays with epoxy resin. You can literally do any type of color, add stuff in it and when it dries, it turns out real nice. saves from cutting those thin strips too 🙂
what kind wood is that?
I just watched one of your videos from 2012! (The scruffy unshaven one lol). Gee you’ve really come a long way!!
ahem riving knife you’ve seen thinz’s video right?
How do you have that many subscribers, your work is basic at best, just shows people are not educated
I cut my gripper the first day I got it. Brilliant!!! I would cut the groove and then the spline and plane it to fit, but that is me.
Hey man, you have a “Better call Saul” video in this playlist lol
You did a fine job, learned, we do it by traditional techniques
inlay is sexy…
Not sure why but I keep getting a ‘404 not found’ error message when I click the ‘send me the list’ button.
Can you recommend another micro jig? The one on your page is no longer available.
I have noticed that when you use spray lacquer you use some sort of special head. What is it?
