The people complaining about this can take a hike. CNC doesn't equal no craft, doesn't invalidate the effort or the end result. It allows artists to complete repeatable work faster, it's a tool. Anyone whining or complaining about this, that's their own deficiency, not yours, they have to deal with their own issues, and clearly, they cannot if they put that on you. Good on you, this is nice clean work, and the inlays look great.
Because there are real artisan woodworkers who do this shit by their hand and he doesn’t mention the use of machines in the title so some us were were lured in when it wasn’t what we were searching. I think it looks amazing and it’s great to use the innovative tools available to us. I suspect it just cheapens it for those real artisans.
@@joshhaas2410 I appreciate the feedback. I called it "How I make..." because it's how I make them. I didn't mean to mislead. I couldn't possibly make some of the projects I have in my head in my head in a timely manner without the use of a machine and if I did they would be far too expensive to sell. I feel like that's worth pointing out.
Hey everyone. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video. I never expected it to get so many views during it's time on youtube. I'm thinking of picking this hobby back so perhaps I'll make another video some time this year. There is a common theme in the comments about how I use a laser cutter to cut the void for the inlays so I'd like to clear something up: I have to design the image myself in adobe illustrator. This step is hands down the longest and most boring part. I could include this step in future videos but I'm not sure how to make that part look appealing. I use software and a laser cutter so I can make multiple pieces of the same design cheaply and quickly. Each piece has notes (type of wood, thickness, beam strength, focal point, etc). It also guarantees an even path for the wire inlay so it can fit nice and snug. Coming up with this process took a long, time and many attempts. This isn't like using your everyday printer (though I wish it was). The best way to appreciate this step is to see if you can go learn how to operate a laser cutter yourself. I may actually make a video about that as well. Still, I know some will continue to look down on me, chisels in hand. That's fine. The pieces I make come from my mind and end up on my walls. What more could I ask for? Anyway, check out the description for a more step-by-step tutorial about the process. Thanks.
Regardless of the technique it really looks nice. I would need a CNC to do this as I am a negative 1 on the can't draw a straight line on the artist scale, but give me the right power tool and I can get it done.
This is excellent work regardless of the tools used, thanks for sharing. I was wondering though if you think there might be a way to fuze or melt the metal to avoid the small gaps, without harming the wood? Maybe some kind of chrome resin or epoxy exists that could do this? Maybe some kind of solder that could be inlaid and then melted?
I've thought of pouring pewter into the voids but it would begin to solidify almost immediately as it cooled. I doubt that could get into all the spaces. I have tried epoxy, however it it a different look entirely.
I see a lot of articles of people saying they have trouble with using metal on solid wood because the wood moved and you get gaps and buckles around the inlay. Is there anything you do in your process to prevent issues with wood movement?
Very nice work! If I can ask, on your projects, do you stain or dye your wood before or after the inlay process starts? I'm really interested in trying this.
I clicked because I thought it was handmade all the way through. My personal opinion, CNC and laser machines are like cheating. I guess it’s fine for mass producing. Nothing beats the feeling I get when I put my sweat equity into a project from start to finish then stand back and admire the completed work. Besides that, you’ve constructed a beautiful piece. And I know it takes skill to do the inlay as well as you did. Thanks for the video!
I guess you just use your fingernails and teeth for all your woodwork. No power tools. No metal tools. No machine-planned timber. Where do you draw the line, and why? All the CNC in this case does is save time. Arbitrary snobbery is arbitrary.
Mark Hanford ..... Actually Mr Rude, you don’t know what I do or have so keep your snide comments to yourself. Just today I milled 2- 1x6 shelves out of a 5 inch thick slab of live edge walnut. Time consuming as all hell but I did it. AND I didn’t use a machine to plane it. I used a hand planer. Sharpening the blade as I went. So the next time you decide to speak about something you know nothing about, ask questions first.
I should point out that I did have to make the the vector file myself. I didn't include that part in the video because computer work is a little boring to watch. Besides that, I had to learn how to use a very expensive laser cutter. I also had to study arabic for a while before this piece was possible. Also not shown in this video are all the times I got it wrong (void was too deep, too wide, too shallow...) Cutting the void by hand is just not possible with my schedule and would have made this piece too expensive. By cutting time and maximizing repeatability, I can cut the cost of each piece.
You can set the depth and power for the laser. How deep one cuts is a combination of factors that include depth, speed, power, and the material being cut.
Two ways. One, you can play around with the focal point of your laser cutter or you can play around with the image you use. Both are going to have to take some experimenting. I usually play around with some test cuts first before I create the voids
Thank you very much! My Arabic isn't very good but I recognize words in there that mean praise lol. I'm not a muslim but I do study Arabic and have traveled a bit. That is what inspired this piece.
Looks more like a laser than a CNC. The focal measurement tool he used and the dark burns are give-always. A CNC wouldn’t typically leave such dark cuts. It may be a bummer to lose focus on traditional woodworking skills, but using a laser or CNC requires skill and expertise too. You don’t get good results on your first few tries on each project, there’s a lot of practice and trial and error.
Paige Wesolowski Actually CNC just stands for “Computer Numerical Control”. A CNC machine can have an assortment of different tools on the end - including a router, a laser cutter, or even a plastic extruder (for “3D printing”). In the end it’s still a CNC machine as long as you’re using a computer to drive a tool to create a design based on a CAD file!
I’m aware of what CNC means. However fellow machinists only use “CNC” to describe a CNC router. I guess we can never go too in depth on the internet 🤷♀️

All that and you didn't tell us what it says? Looks great though.
We still waiting for your new videos
Beautiful work, I love the idea. Great work!
Absolutely beautiful work
That was beautiful craftsmanship great job
Thats perfect work
Gooood work!

@@jkinlays5904 Use soldering metal to fill then sand down
This is so beautiful. I'm looking to do something similar. Can you tell me what kind of wire you're using in the video?
That turned out pretty sweet!
Hello.
I love your work.
What kind of metal you use for inlays?
Regards
Great!!! The Chordettes...Watched it twice...LOL
great work! which cnc machine do you have and what power is the laser? Thanks
Fantastic work
sweet job

Great work, would love to know what type of laser you use for this? Thanks
Pretty cool!!!
Excellent work, real craftsmanship!! Just wondering what the tool is that you use to flatten the wire?
Damian Morgan It's called a rolling mill.
Yup. A rolling mill. Check out the link in the description for a more depth instructions.
That’s Fancy!
Pretty awesome, dude
Very nice work! If I can ask, on your projects, do you stain or dye your wood before or after the inlay process starts? I'm really interested in trying this.
after. If you do it before, you'll have to redo it again because you'll sand a lot of it off anyway.
Do the stain after the inlay is set and after you sand the inlay down to the wood. Hope that helps.
Beautiful!

JKinlays .... Touché!! I retract my statement sir! It is a gorgeous piece😃. I didn’t realize how much work it took. My apologies.
Beautiful.
that was beautiful gj
name and price of the machine? It seems it worth to own one.
The pretty great work but the song was unmatched , with ayah
Hi, my friend, how much good is this metal wire you used?
Hi there, great job! Btw where can one find that wire press, and is there another name for it?
Thanks!
rolling mill
It's a rolling mill. There are more instructions in the link in the description.
Nice information
Beautiful
Sick!
Well done, Masha Allah.
Does the laser burn that deep?
You can set the depth and power for the laser. How deep one cuts is a combination of factors that include depth, speed, power, and the material being cut.
Thanks!
Wow, great work. sharp
Parabéns pelo trabalho.
great
А куда вы тротил в эту доску инкрустировали?
where you inlaid TNT in this board?
Внутри он, не показал чтобы было сюрпризом.
Great!
Amazing work! What finish do you use to preserve the metal and prevent oxidising?
I do something similar with 18ga copper wire. I have used a router in the past but have a laser. How do you get the cut wide enough for the metal?
Two ways. One, you can play around with the focal point of your laser cutter or you can play around with the image you use. Both are going to have to take some experimenting. I usually play around with some test cuts first before I create the voids
Just got an email from the CNC. FYI He's pretty pissed you left him out of the title.
Yeah I keep getting calls from Adobe Illustrator, the rolling mill, the table saw, my pliers... I'll be sure to credit all them next time, too.
What's it say?
seni seviyorum müslüman ALLAH CC için ne güzel bir çalışma helal sana

John Rutsey zip your s#*t up
Holy hell, you sound like a spiteful person.
what a moron you are John Rutsey.
CNC machine did a great job who needs skill when you got machines to do the hard work.
اینکه هنر نیست ماشینه
Bummer..... Another video that relies on CNC to be successful..... Nice work regardless.

Anyone can make an inlay with a CNC
Give it a shot :) I'll sub you
Crap, try doing this without a machine, go on do it by hand, then post it
paggodiablo01 true, but you got to admit even working with machines take some major talent
try not being a dick, come back and then comment
ahmad Zaka who are you talking to?
zach O'Flaherty not you, the main comment I mean some people put real effort into the stuff and these guys just full on "this is CRAP"
ahmad Zaka amen man
This song is soo racist.
It's a rather sexist song I suppose or rather I did not age well but I don't understand how it is racist. Would you explain?
@@thedouchebagofholding980 I think the joke is that because it's about Arabic it's calling Arabs sandmen
That's beautiful.
Thats perfect work
