This should be R-rated
Not many people, and none of the manufacturers, point out that by design these kits will not create compatible positives and negatives and that the either the positive or the negative will have to be shaped by hand to fit. Good on ya.
Glen has some great skills to learn from. I miss his and Bob Lang’s contributions to the magazine.
I like the reality of your presentation. Instead trying to portray your process as āperfectā you were honest and showed us the little nicks and how to fix them to make for a good finish! Thanks for the info!
I’m pretty sure you can still buy plans with all the details you need on Woodglut.
Above everything demonstrate patience for a job done well.
This is undoubtedly the best wood working book I have ever read, āBĪ±zĪæmĪæ Tdy PlĪ±nā (Google it). The book consists of attractive images and drawings and reader-friendly text. This is a āmust haveā woodworking book because everything you should know about wood working is available here and it truly walks you throughout the topic well. .
That was a rough finish. It didn’t even fit.
Heat, beat, fit and finish!
How about a thicker inlay. Yeaaaaaa
Wouldn’t it look sharper to chisel the corners out rather than rounding off the corners of the inlay?
Great job , explaining the method.
Good video, but this link does not work http://bit.ly/shop_routers
This guy needs to get his breathing checked out.
OK, gracias por sus videos, thanks for your videos

greta video in the future have your camera get right on your hands and the work way more to
Very informative šš¬š§ thanks
Use a chisel to clean up the corners of the piece, and leave the inlet crisp and sharp. The rounded corners look less craftsman like. Admittedly 99.9% of people wonāt see a difference. But, every woodworker will. And, drilling a small hole out the back of the host piece to let any extra glue and trapped air out. A future video, of hiding a knot with an inlay and a bit of added grain to match it in.
I know you can find solutions to this problem in the Stodoys plans.
Link to a kit? I already have an inlay bit
Reguarding the clean out; what you call, "monotonous", and "boring", I call it pure joy. I love cutting wood.
If it doesn’t fit get a bigger hammer š
Very instructive video. Thanks! I have the same router (in Australia) but it did not come with a base that would allow that insert to be fitted. Any ideas where I might obtain a suitable base?
This is just what I needed – i searched on "Using a Router Inlay Kit" and I see that Glen has my router and plunge base – what a gift!
So how’s your hearing?
The ONLY video I have seen showing how the router insert actually goes on the router. How to figure out if the bushing WILL ACTUALLY FIT THE ROUTER YOU HAVE is the BIG question as it is not stated on the ones on amazon.
Why use a router, just hammer it in! š Joking, thanks for the detailed video. I will buy an inlay kit thanks to what i have learned here.
How did you make the pattern?
I already have my "plug piece" is it just a case of same process but reverse the bushing off to cut the recess template the route my recess with the bushing on using the template i cut?
newbie here. Question. Why does the inlay have a hard edge and the negative have a round edge?
Crazy, I bought my bandsaw from Glen. He’s an awesome guy and seeing his inlay work in person, his skills are also awesome.
This wood working book āBĪ±zĪæmĪæ Tdy PlĪ±nā (Google it) covers everything from wood types to tool types as well as uses. It also tells you about the different types of wood and just how easy or hard they are to work with. This book has been very helpful and is a good one for somebody just getting into woodworking. .
Good Job! š
One word….āChiselsāš
I appreciate you leaving in the part where your inlay doesnāt fit quite right. It gives us a heads-up of the kinds of things to watch for.
Good demonstration Glen.
It’s simple, Just go to woodprix page – and enter woodworkers best source.
Removing the double stick tape: on the inlay piece apply painter tape then double stick tape. After inlay is cut, pull-up inlay and peal painterās tape off of inlay. The painterās tape releases easier than the double stick tape.
