Thank you for the video. I've seen many tutorials on this and you are the first one to use dust and glue to fill the gaps. It gives much better results. I did read an abalone inlay tutorial by a ridiculously talented young lady and she said press as much dry dust into the gaps as you can then drop super glue onto the dry dust. She said be careful not to put on too much or it will wash away the dust.
yes looks very nice. Im not piling on here but a crosscut sled is desperately needed. Never cross cut wood on a table saw using a fence. (2:13 mark.) Ive got a broken nuckle to show for it. But other than that, a nice vid.
Jolien Brebels it was a little difficult controlling the dremel. I think next time I will make a few different passes with the dremel and really take my time. I went a little too fast I think
Sweet video! I should try to use a softer wood like what you used. maple and walnut arent as forgiving when youre trying to pound something into them. Props to you! Thanks for the shoutout!
He's using 14/3 Romex it looks like. One of the wires is there bare. The others will have to be stripped. But you can buy smaller amounts of 14ga wire so you don't have to buy a roll of Romex.
Yes and no. The stain penetrates the wood and just sits on the surface of the metal, so when you sand the top layer off both it leaves the metal shiny and the wood still stained. Good to use a final clear coat to stop the metal oxidising (rust, copper turns green) unless desired
Yes, pine and other soft woods have large difference between spring and summer growth. The difference in grain texture are then exaggerated by staining. Shellac or a pre-stain can reduce this effect for a more pleasing final result.
It is easier to shape and cut copper wire before you do any flattening with the hammer, as any pounding/flattening heats up the copper and makes it harder. This is related to some kind of reaction to the heat. Interesting video :)
You aren't going to anneal* or harden copper by hitting it for one round with a hand hammer. Even iron/steel requires many rounds to start hardening (*soften metal by heating, removing crystal cracks)
Doesn't look nice
Thanks!
Let's see your work...or is all you can do is run your mouth?
Nice job, buddy.
Doing things like this keeps us from killing ourselves.
Lmaoooooo. Gold

Simple technique. Thanks for posting.
hey Adam could you forward me a link to the copper wire you used?
Thanks for the tutorial, pay no heed to the negative responses. Inspired me to give it a try.

Beautiful! I also liked it without the stain!
I should try an inlay some day! But it seems so hard to control the dremel/router

you can also use small flat chisels, all you do is jab straight down into the wood to create a slot, then wedge the wire in.

Dylan's DIY Workshop That's what she said
Nice video. Thanks!
Amazing work. Where do you get your copper?

Any hardware/big bid store/construction site/neighbours walls (need to be sneaky)

Staining over the metal doesn't dull the shine? Do you think Red Oak would work for wood?
Yes and no. The stain penetrates the wood and just sits on the surface of the metal, so when you sand the top layer off both it leaves the metal shiny and the wood still stained. Good to use a final clear coat to stop the metal oxidising (rust, copper turns green) unless desired
Really beautiful! Can I ask how long something like this takes to make?
Not long. Maybe an hour of work, maybe a little less. The time is mostly waiting for the stain and glue to cure.
very informative
Great job on that but friend , you really should have used some pre stain treatment on that to keep the stain even and not so blotchy

What is the purpose of the glue and sawdust?
+kontos526 it acts as a wood filler and it seems to take stain better than regular wood filler

Thanks for the vid. A nicer peace of wood like oak poplar or walnut would make it really pop.
i completely agree. i saw someone using a piece of walnut and he put some cutting board oil on it as a finish and it looked amazing
Love that his hands are as fucked up as mine.
do I have to use a picture from the internet or can i be creative? ;)
+GUNMATH You have to use a picture from the internet. Sorry.
adam fleisch 😅😅 fuck i knew it
adam fleisch gunna try this on my guitar thanks for the good video man!
I watched inlay work. You don't need any glue systems at all if cuts are tight
Because you watched it.
Try it sometime.
On TH-cam their's a few videos of it being done. Yes by watching people doing it. Theres Many ways of doing one thing
Should I steal somebodys artwork from the internet or should i draw my own design ??
Bruh, he covers this in the tutorial. Steal someone's bullshit clipart.
You should always steal. Never, ever create.
I use a slightly different approach. You should head over to my channel to see how I accomplish wire inlays.
Using a CNC laser engraver isn't hand made and isn't something everyone has access to. I went and watched yours, hand done is hands down..... better.
I hate when some body makes a video, but don’t say a word. All they do is play some music that is totally irritating to listen to.

Here's a tip. Ask for your money back and move on to another video.
looks sloppy. 👎
Thank you! I’m guessing you support Harris
