Easy Woodturning project - Milliput bowl inlay

In this woodturning project I wanted to show just how easy milliput epoxy putty was to use as a method for inlaying wood. I decided to add brass to the milliput at the last moment and am so glad I did. I contacted Milliput and they agree that they had never seen this done before.

Great job, the brass looks fantastic

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Jim, thanks so much for taking the time to view.

[@tomburns7544]

Absolutely gorgeous. As someone who has always wanted to do woodworking but never had the money nor space to pursue it, I live vicariously through those who can on TH-cam and your channel is one of my favourites. Well done, Mike!

[@MikeHolton]

Hi Tom, your situation sounds like mine a few years ago, then circumstances changed and I managed to start. I'm glad you enjoy the videos and you never know when your situation may change. All the best, Mike

[@DavidBrotherton-z1z]

Never seen this used before, love it!!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks David, I'm actually on making another one of these, video out soon 😀

[@MrErViLi]

Love miliput. If you use it a lot do yourself a favor and buy a heavy duty pasta roller. It makes short easy work of mixing miliput.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks for the tip, not at that level yet but I might buy the wife one I can borrow 😜

[@lindaali6703]

I didn't know that Beech was so pretty. Pretty as Maple, my favorite.

[@MikeHolton]

Yes but not all of it, this piece was a lot better than most, it can be quite bland.

[@philippaatkinson8703]

The inlay turned out amazing :) Also I hope you kept the snake haha he should have his own competition to be won :’)

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks, the snake is still safe and sat watching my next project :)

[@OliverFinley2018]

The brass takes it to the next level! Absolutely beautiful!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks, I was so pleased with the way it came out 😃

[@mickwilson127]

Truer of things new 👍

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks :)

[@LOTGiscool]

Yes, the inlays turned out great. Wonderful job!

[@MikeHolton]

Glad you like them! 😃

[@suesmith9202]

That's beautiful. What a good idea.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Sue, this was a fun project 😀

[@melgillham462]

I like the brass in the *milliput. Nicely done sir.👍🤝

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Mel 😌

[@Ted_P]

Beautiful piece, as usual. Great call on the brass in the black milliput. It looks great!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Ted, yeah, pretty happy with the way it came out 😃

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

It is stunningly beautiful magnificent and spectacular

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Kobie, does this mean you like it 😁

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Yes it is awesome

[@MikeHolton]

@@kobiekaasjager4822 thanks 🙏

[@mikemercer6307]

A fab item so I must have a go at one or more thanks 😊

[@MikeHolton]

You should Mike, Milliput is great fun to play with 😀

[@19termite]

Love the brass particles!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks, it worked out a lot better than I had hoped 😀

[@Audie1234]

❤That's beautiful ❤ The inlay work is cool❤

[@Audie1234]

Also, I'm now recommending the use of a hand cranked pasta machine to work the Lilliput (I will continue to use my variation on milliput). Just trying to make life easier for you ❤❤❤

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks so much for both messages Audie 😀. I will take a look at the hand cranked past machines although I'm pretty sure what you mean 😀

[@lv_woodturner3899]

Well done. Very nice bowl. The brass swarf in the black Milliput looks very nice, good call. I do not think it would look as good in the white, less contrast. The white would stand out more in a darker wood like cherry.
I love beech, but the only piece I have was cut from a table leg when a friend needed to shorten the legs on a table.
I have a few pieces of sycamore which also turns easy and is a pleasure to work with.
Dave.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Dave, beech is nice but you can get pieces that are very bland. I got lucky with this one. You are right, it may not look as good in the white as there would be a lack of contrast. All the best, Mike

[@racheldray1057]

Fabulous!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Rachel 😀

[@pollyrobinson3877]

Very cool!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Polly 😁

[@alanganek8078]

Very nice! Did the metal hurt your hands at all? I always enjoy your videos.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Alan, I seem to remember it nipping a bit but not too bad 😀

[@fionacrouch1732]

Copper or brass??? Lol
Great piece Mike, love the inlays. Very effective.

[@MikeHolton]

Haha, you know I never get it right, thanks Fiona 😁

[@fionacrouch1732]

@@MikeHolton I just had to smile lol.
Have a great weekend.
Catch you on the next video.

[@MikeHolton]

@@fionacrouch1732 😀 you too Fiona, talk soon.

[@ear677met]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks for watching! 😀

[@dottyharbison7156]

Gorgeous bowl! Love the idea of the Milli putt. I have never seen it here in the US.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Dotty, I think Milliput is available over in the US do try a web search, good luck. 😃

[@deehenry1983]

This is just lovely! Great craftsmanship!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Dee :)

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Came over from Radar new sub here👍😎

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks for coming! I appreciate the support. I have Radar's sticker in my next video :)

[@edwardukleja4583]

Hi Mike, I appreciate this comment is late but I have only just “found” this video having watched your Lignum Vitae video. I have used Milliput many times, any surplus mixed putty can be frozen and then used after thawing.

[@MikeHolton]

Hi Edward, really, that is pretty amazing and something I wish I had heard earlier, thanks so much for letting me know

[@esterfernandes5706]

Um espetáculo de LINDO

[@MikeHolton]

Obrigado Ester

[@withoutdoors5230]

Nice idea! I wonder if using a polish like brasso may make the copper pop even more? Did you consider it?

[@MikeHolton]

That's a great idea! next time I'll give it a go.

[@michaelbuckingham716]

Nice and simple just the way it should be. you've got me wondering what else might work in milliput,maybe glitter. think I might raid the kids art supplies

[@MikeHolton]

Do it! And please let me know how you get on 😃. Really interested in seeing the results.

[@kaceycarter2972]

Im sprry but you are NOT the first to use milliput as an inlay on a turned bowl. I have seen this for well over a decade on youtube by several channels

[@MikeHolton]

Hi Kacey, I did not way that, I said I was the first to add metal shavings into milliput into an inlay. I talked to the guys at milliput and they confirmed this. All the best, Mike
