Yo, did you just file the top of the bow tie by accident? So you had to flip it upside down?
When your table cracks so you put a bowtie in it but the bowtie cracks so you have to put a bowtie in your bowtie
Quick question, you said the bow tie needs to be 1/3 to 1/4" of the thickness of the material. Is that still true if your material is very thick like a 2" slab?
I use a similar technique. I try to use a rip off of an end of a board so I can make several from one scrap then I cut the first angle and scribe a line so i can use it for reference and make minor adjustments to the size. I make a few extra so I can get the exact fit I want. It helps to have one of those screw down cam action clamps.
John is great. No nonsense. You can tell he really loves woodworking
Can you put on epoxy instead of inlay?
Can I use your band saw?
I like how extra that was without being unnecessary
Still waiting on the job offer!!! Lol
Awesome work as always John.
great work!
Hey what brand of tools are you using in the beginning for your layout?
Bringing us together one butterfly inlay at a time
it made me soooooo upset when he turned the router on by his fly. I thought he was all about safety on this channel. that was not safe. routers in general can rip limb from limb
Outstanding!
Nice 👌🏽
Hey brother so I may have plunged a little hard, first time I tried it with a brand new bit, the bit shattered and pieces of wood and bit went everywhere. Any advice on the plunge action?
Great video. Very helpful. I’ve been wanting to try inlays but have hesitated. Your video inspired me to try my own. Thank you! 👍🏻
Great video! Bow ties really make a project shine. The thumbnail for this video makes me laugh – with the Tucker gaping maw impression.
I raise my Johnny Black to your sir! Nay, scratch that ….in true Swanson fashion, I`ll up it to a 16yr Lagavulin!
Youre the bowtie King
The discreet node spontaneously fit because bandana formally question near a earthy cicada. near, odd traffic
Thank you John great presentation. I have several slabs that need bow ties and after your presentation I feel ready to take it on.
Great confidence building video! Now I feel ready to tackle bowties in any size:)
Awesome video! The tape trick is magical!
Also, fun fact. Bats do actually have thumbs!
Nice video! A couple of comments for others:
1. Making a jig to cut bow-ties on a band saw is crazy easy!!!
2. When tracing with a marking knife, it is easier/better to start at each corner and cut inwards. That way, you cannot overshoot past the corner!
3. When chiseling at the edge, be sure to resist the urge to lever the chisel to break off the slice you just cut! Or you will bend the top of the edge outwards.
Don’t carry super glue in your pocket.
…unless you like peeling denim off your leg.
I’d like to see a houndstooth cutting board!
Thank you – especially for the tip about the thickness of the inlay.
ya man!!!
This is an excellent how-to explanation… THANKS JOHN!!!
In my river table project, should this be done before or after I pour epoxy into the crack?
did you add epoxy to the crack before the bowtie, after the bowtie, or not at all
I would like to see if you could inlay some veneer lettering.
wait! did this dude just say "yinz"?!
Wouldn’t BBB you want to leave the tape in case of squeeze out to keep glue of the main piece
Where I’m from this is called a butterfly dovetail or dovetail key! Thought I was learning a new thing. nm, good video anyway.
Hahaha awesome tutorial, glad I found ya. Thickety thick, thick thick thick. Hahaha
Can you use epoxy for a bow tie inlay?
getting ready to test your bowtie teaching on my bosses river table I’m making because of you. LOL
what did you use to get the color on that 2nd inlay? that’s fantastic. A dye? Any paint would sand right off, correct?
Seems risky considering my accuracy with a router is a solid 3/10. I’ll spend the $60 on a template and save the $500 slab.
Come on, it was right there! Instead of let us pray, Let us Inlay!
I’m getting so many ideas for things I want to do from watching videos from many channels on wood working but I’m certainly binging a lot of yours and the best bit is that when you say if I get X many likes I’ll do a video on how to do xyz I generally find you have already done it and I get to roll my binge right into that. That said you still get the likes from me and when I get my workshop set up I plan to try inlaying animal silhouettes to tables although I think it will take me a while to pull it off.
Not everyone has a bandsaw. From that point on I stopped watching. Got to find someone who cuts bow ties another way , possibly a fret saw.
Very cool!
Try the best carpenters and woodworkers plans. Woodglut.
That was incredible. I’m going to do this on my next table build.
Love the inlay inside the inlay idea. Awesome!!!
Looking to fix a crack in a live edge slab table that is going out side. Is a bow tie or epoxy is the best solution?
