Metal Inlay in Wood | Add Brass to Your Woodworking Project
Рет қаралды 100,540
Күн бұрынStep by step guide on how to inlay metal into wood to give your next woodworking project a modern look. I explain the steps I take to prepare brass so it inlays perfectly into the lid of this wood box. I discuss the adhesive that I use for joining metal to wood. You’ll see a really cool woodworking joint that will make your wooden boxes rock solid. And lastly, I discuss the types of finish I use on metal and wood so that I encounter no issues. If you are considering incorporating brass, aluminum, or another kind of metal into your woodworking project then this video is a must watch!

I wasn't expecting to make this video, but I was asked by a customer to make a modern box and I consistently receive questions about brass inlay. Even though I have an older video on it, I think this video addresses much more of the questions I receive. If you decide to make something similar then let me know in the comments section!

I might want try anodizing aluminum flat bar bright colors and inlay it in light color wood like maple or similar. One point I’d like to make is you want your metal inlay stick up a little so you sand it flush with wood. With anodized aluminum, obviously you would sand one side and flip it over when it flush.

I’m relatively new to using “utube” (my apologies). I find your videos very well done; excellent balance of informative, personable, entertaining, technical yet “doable”, but I digress. May I pass along, to you, two little tricks I’ve learned that you may find interesting? I ask out of respect, as you’re a far more advanced artist than I and I don’t want to present myself inappropriately.

Nothing basic about that box, it looks awesome! Love the grain on the lid and how it contrasts with the side panels. 2 questions: When you clamped the box, you had glue squeeze out. Did you wipe the squeeze out off before it dried or did you let it dry and then sand? I have found glue difficult to sand out and curious if you wiped it (spreading some of it around) or let it dry in it’s natural place. What saw did you use for cutting the brass? Didn’t look like your mitre saw, which I figured you would use with a different blade......
@NewtonMakes 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, it was a whirl wind of a project as I was trying to hit a deadline. The best method that I've found is to let the glue skim up. Wait until it's dried enough to be peeled away and then lightly scrape it away with a chisel. I used a super expensive Harbor Freight metal cut off saw. I think I paid $30 for it. 😂

It's fun watching wood go from slab lumber to finished, workable wood! Question: I'm sure it varies based on where you live, but how long did you let the resawed lid acclimate before continuing to work it? Are we talking days? Weeks? Obviously, lots of variables, like humidity, ambient temperature, thickness of the resawed pieces, kind of wood--just tryin to get a feel for what you did. Don't think you mentioned it.

I find it best to wait at least 24hrs. But I notice very little change in my shop if I'm using slabs dry wood. Each shop is different.

I'm putting brass inlay into a large oak tabletop that I'm going to stain. On a practice board, I have to sand the brass with extremely fine sandpaper to get it to shine nicely, but I don't know if the oak will take the stain after that kind of sanding. Should I prefit the brass, then remove it, stain, then glue in the brass?
@NewtonMakes 2 жыл бұрын
I would carefully hand sand the brass after its installed. That way there's no risk of glue or anything else impacting the oak.

Ideas received with thanks = metal-inlay, finishing grit, wax/film Likely Usage = (check suitability)finishing, aluminium-extrusions for more low-class industrial look with (cheaper than good-wood)modular(click) floor-laminates(fake-wood, maybe more-expensive wine-resistent type and/or burning cigarette-resistant type). Objective = troll internet to buy more and spend more and play more and ... jealous more = cheaper is more
