@@paulhamler8315 Wow, that's incredible!! Unfortunately due to my physical disabilities traveling is very difficult for me, but I'll be sure to contact you if I'm able to do so. Thank you so much Mr. Hemler, and happy holidays to you and your family!
This video is a gift. This isn’t exactly a mainstream topic, and it isn’t something I often find people sharing information about. And yet in a single video you taught us the tool design and use, the processes involved in setting the wire, the rationale behind it, tips and tricks for problem solving, and then shared two bonus tricks. I could go into my garage today and start doing this. Sir, I salute you.
Wish I had known you as a teenager so by now I would be a pro at this. Very good vid. and excellent job! Many thanks, and for some reason feel like I have known you for many years.
A nicely done pair of videos. Thanks for all the work that you put into such a comprehensive description of the process. I have tried wire inlay a few times but will be much better prepared for my next attempt.
That goat head hammer is AWESOME. This technique is new to me, I will give it a try. Thanks for explaining so thoroughly. The micro-saw tip is gold as well.
Thank you very much ! I have learned allot and this video solved some issues i had . I am very gratefull for taking time to teach us . Greetings from Romania
Quality craftsmanship.Thanks for showing your technique! That bottom rectangle in the groove makes a lot of sense. That plus the glueless water setting makes this far superior to several other inlay videos. :) Also, I've never even thought of converting a fine blade to a saw; that will be very useful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your ideas and hints. It's a rare gift to share and I appreciate you giving your time to be a "sensei" Greetings from Australia you take care.
Great lesson, Paul! Thank you. Fantastic tip about toothing the knife edge with a file. That is a tidbit that could easily have been lost over time but for your sharing. The concept of the sawtooth knife brought to mind the veneer saw that Paul Schurch showed how to sharpen and use in one of his veneering videos. The veneer saw is one of the double edged saws having perhaps 20 or 30 teeth per inch and an offset hand. The edges have a mild curve to them. They come from the supplier with the teeth looking like those of a small dovetail saw. Paul demonstrated that they are to be sharpened by beveling the edge on the handle side to a knife edge and honing the other side flat. The saw then will follow a straightedge and cut a very crisply through a sheet or sheets of veneer. Same concept as you demonstrated, but you are working on a much finer scale. I very much enjoy your detail explanations and your pointing out the subtleties in the process. I feel like I have a front-row seat in your class. Looking forward to your next video.
glad to see you on youtube your work and teaching are great sorry i did not meet up with you at cabin fever a few years back my health has not been so good i have trouble getting around hope to be all right by late spring .keep up the good work Richard Westerfield
You've laid out some great information. I've been doing silversmithing work for several years. I never thought of trying silver inlay into wood before. It's certainly something I'll give a try with. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the craft.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm going to give this a try. I have an old Martini type Schutzen rifle that is elaborately engraved, carved, and wire inlaid. I think it was a guild qualification gun. Dad picked it up at a gun show when I was a kid, and I've been fascinated with those arts ever since. Rachel Wells tried to talk me into taking her engraving class when I lived in Prescott, but I never had the time... Now you're inspiring me.
This is so much better than some of the other tutorials I’ve seen. The explanations of every move paints such a great visual. I think you should make a tutorial on making tutorials hahah! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I can’t wait to try this for the handle of a trout fishing net I’m gonna take a shot at next weekend.
Hello Paul, enjoyed this video very much. Great information. A note about your ball pein hammer, it is a gasket making tool. You can hammer out just about any size, small or large, gasket you may want to make. Place the material you want to us and follow the shape of the part you need a gasket for and tap it out. I own two of them. Very handy to have around. Thanks again for the good lesson and suggestions. Marshall, TX.
I found your video very informative. Thank you for sharing. Would you have any any ideas on where to purchase tools to get started? My searches on this type of tools has not gone very well.
I have to say that these videos are great and I am looking forward to the next one. There is one small suggestion I would like to make. On multi part videos I would add the part number to the video title.
Paul that was a great video! I am very excited to try your techniques. As soon as I finished watching your video I immediately ordered aluminum & brass wire both. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
What an absolute privilege and joy it is to watch and learn some of your techniques and expertise. If I may make a suggestion, I know that better quality takes mush more storage and upload time, but it would be very beneficial to have at least 480p really 720 video especially because of the high level of detail and smaller size of a lot of your work. The quality difference is huge between 360 and 480. None the less I was able fully grasp the subject at hand and thank you much for taking the time to pass along your knowledge.
Easy use different round wire for your desired diameter, predrill stock with a slightly smaller drill ,taper end of round stock and tap on like a short nail.
The tools or stabbing are unique and not commercially sold. If I ever get caught with a few projects I'll do a video on making the required tools for inlay. Paul
Now this video is another excellent example of why I like youtube. Thx for making these vids. Cool tip on the bamboo chopstick for cleaning file teeth. Those Chinese invented a lot of extremely useful objects. Also, I'm reading quite a bit about silver mining, and I'm thinking "ouch" quite a bit as I'm seeing you snip away and grind away on that silver wire/ribbon. What, if anything, do you do with the "waste" silver?
If it was snipped to reduce inlay size I save it and melt it when casting silver, as for the dust it's not worth the effort it would take years to save enough that wouldn't even make enough to fill a small cavity
@@paulhamler8315 Some folks use the very fine precious metal dust mixed with epoxy or CA glue to fill really tight curves and close-together curves that might split or chip if hammered. I have to say though, I just watched another fellow route out his channel with a Dremel and didn't get as sharp an edge to the finished product. The way you do it the wood fibers are compressed out of the channel, and when you wet it the fibers expand to grip the metal giving a much sharper edge. Let me add my thanks to those of everyone else, especially for the bamboo trick for cleaning files! I'm 66 and have never heard of it, and now I have cleaned all my needle files to like new.
Thank you for doing these videos. I only found you because of Keith Rucker's channel. I'm interested in learning wire inlay but after watching this video I tried to find where to buy the wire and couldn't find it on eBay or Amazon. Don't know where else to look.
Riogrande.com is where he purchased his fine silver wire. He used a rolling mill to flatten his wire more but you can use a hammer/anvil if you don't have a rolling mill or purchase fine silver cloisonne wire from Riogrande that is pretty close to the wire he used in the demo.
G'day ! I am from Australia and am keen to start on some silver inlay in wood. I have watched all the youtube videos and they are very helpful in terms of technique . BUT i have been trying to buy some of the silver wire to start and for the life of me I can't find it anywhere - having spent hours on the internet . So I asking for some help in specifying the grade of silver wire I should be using and some contacts of suppliers who sell it . Believe me I have tried and have had no luck . Thanks Sydney
paul--awesome video!!!!! btw, when basically mashing the grain down to make a channel rather than picking and removing material, how do you avoid it heaving after time? noooo slant or criticism, just trying to understand so i can employ it too!!!
If the tools are extremely sharp you are not mashing the wood but cutting the fibers with minimal damage. When wetting the wood the fibers swell back to they’re stabbed state and hold the wire for years and years.
I think when purchasing the ribbon wire it come in .05 thickness.For my miniature work I run it through the roll press to various thickness i require usually from.020 down to .008
@@paulhamler8315 Haha, I can imagine. I'm just starting woodwork here in Australia and trying to become 'bilingual' in mm & inches. It's proving tough. Thanks again Paul👌🏾

TSJC is a gunsmithing school I think had produced a lot of craftsmen over the years who tended to appreciate the pursuit of perfection respect for traditional craftsmanship in the firearms industry.. .i think a lot of the examples around the gunmakers and engravers guilds had studied at TSJC .. i asked because your mannerisms remind me of some of the examples i have known from that environment; but i guess like any other generation most professionals tend to speak to the same set of examples in some measure and share knowledge and manner. I would love to see the guilds or some similar do great ... really great.. to provide fellowship between craftsmen and admirers of the arts.... but without the liability of stagnation and or the production of disparity where the sharing of knowledge is concerned; that is generally associated with the perception Guild age. your act of providing quality educational videos to pass down your knowledge...and holding yourself to high and clean standards... represents potential to produce one half of that objective.... the rest is up to everyone else to go out and hobnob... make friends.. and enjoy the admiration of and pursuit of that great experience... it helps to maintain high standards in paid schools... helps to prevent the hoarding or loss of technological information... helps to inspire, build, and do all the stuff you no doubt hoped to achieve with your investment... I and many others do appreciate you for investing energy to make sure we knew that you, and others like you, are out there... and life is good... and worth working for and building on.
You're amazing, please don't stop making videos. If you inlay two or more parallel lines very close together, do you have to fill the first groove with silver ribbon before you press in the second cut so the wood doesn't have a pace to move, and therefore not have the wood chip out?
Probably not ,you need something more rigid. A lot of people made the stabbing tools out of Xacto knives. See Joes video at Tools for Silver Wire Inlay by Joe Keeslar
Thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately your fingers covered the view so perhaps another camera angle would help. And some editing too. These are very valuable lessons today when we buy everything as new.
Wire does not always need to be circular in shape. Circular wire is not used because the visible width will change with amount of sanding. This would create a very unpleasant and ununiform design. So use rectangular or square wire.
