I’ve been purchasing inlay banding for years to enhance the look of my woodworking projects and thought it’s probably time to start making my own. In this woodworking tutorial video we go over 7 different designs to get you started in making these inlay strips. Inlay banding will instantly make your boxes, table tops and picture frames pop with class and elegance. This is one of those projects that the more you do it the more creative you get with it.

"All I'm gonna do is I'm gonna NYYYYEERRRRHHHH." These are gorgeous inlay bands. Thank you for showing how they're made!

My brain is melting with ideas for the patterns... Great stuff - can't WAIT to see you tear up some dirt! Happy you're happy, David!

As a newbie into inlay projects this video inspires me with my own exotic visions of patterns so easy to construct. And with all the sources of scraps, cut offs, bits and pieces of exotic woods online it provides an unlimited number of experimental possibilities. Thanks for your expertise.

I like your craft versions of your show. Sometimes we get caught up in big projects and keeping it small and simple is sometimes the way to go.

David, you made this look so easy! I've got some legacy inlay from my great-grandfather. This stuff is stunning. Unfortunately, it's so old that it's falling apart. Thanks for giving me ideas as to how I can recreate some of the patterns.

I love this video! They all look great and don't look too difficult to make. So, I repair antique clocks, and some antique wooden clock cases have thin banding like these inlayed into the cases that follow the curve of the dial. They are much thiner that the banding in this video. I was wondering how you could go about making curved banding, say around a 4 inch circle. I can see you you would just clamp the banding around a curved piece of wood that was only made out of straight strips during glue-up, but what about the Chevron pattern?

@toolate912 4 жыл бұрын

Dave, great video. Any suggested thicknesses for the first stage component slices? Or the final second stage slices? Are you typically doing 1/8 inch or shooting for something thinner? Did you find any preferences between using a router v. table saw to make the dados to accept the inlay?

I know this was just for demonstration purposes.... but, do you ever make longer blocks of inlay pattern to get more strips? If so, is there a maximum length that’s more advisable to use? How thin can you cut them without risking them breaking as you cut?

Consider using the short side of your bandsaw fence so the guides are closer to the wood, and so you don’t have to reach around the fence.
