This is pure experience talking. You can learn a *ton* listening to a guy like this and benefiting from his years of experimentation and refining of his tools and techniques. This video is a treasure of information.

I bought a vhs video from Bill Moran about 25 years ago on how to do this inlay and I can already tell, this is going to be much more informative. Thank you so much Paul for starting up KZfaq, you're the guy I want to be like when I grow up (I'm 44)!

Excellent information - I've been a woodworker for maybe 50 some odd years and I still learned quite a bit today. Thanks! I'll look for some of your other videos.

I love seeing the ways you have used normal materials like the punched velcro and felt pads. For those of us with not a ton of money for buffing pads and the like it is extremely helpful!

Thank you for showing the floppy disks and your modifications! Very useful! By the way, the Velcro terms are "hook" for the prickly face, and "loop" for the fuzzy face. :)

Paul, thank you for your excellent instructions. Very helpful!

Can't thank you enough for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. You are doing great.

Hi Paul! Thanks so much for sharing your talents! I just found your channel on youtube through Keith Fenner and Keith Rucker. You sir are an artist! There is so much knowledge crammed into that head of yours that it will take years to share it. I for one would like you to explain your story of how you began, what training you had and how you developed your tremendous skills. If anybody out there with the technical training for video and editing and producing could help this gentleman out, the craftsmen and machinist communities would be appreciative and enriched! Thank you again Mr. Hamler!

I'm 25 and I can't explain things this well when I'm awake and caffeinated. Pump up the standards boys.

Always a delight to be schooled by you!! Many Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and hope you're well !!

Thanks, I. Picked up a few tips I may try when I build and polish my pocket knives such as the furniture pads. Good one! I was researching trying to learn a bit about inlay for knife handles. This was certainly educational for me, thanks for doing this presentation.

really liked the video, was not aware that so much stuff was involved in doing wire inlay. Great tips also. thank you.

Thanks for sharing your tricks with the polishing pads.

Fantastic Paul. Keep up the videos. Excellent information, well presented.

Paul, a clean and neat workshop is the sign of a sick mind. Just saying.

Thanks for the excellent tool tips, they will come in handy

My goodness, the wisdom! Thanks so much for this! Great tips that will save a ton on buying Dremel pads.

Nice tips. I like how you modified the floppy disks with chair pads.

Unbelievably good information!!! Thanks

I really enjoyed your video. Educational and informative, while being just a delight to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing this, it will really help with a project of mine, I appreciate it!

!!! GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WATCHED OVER AND OVER. YOU ARE GREAT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you - some very useful information there!

Wow so glad you are making videos keep going

Great job on the videos. I started making longrifles about 7 years ago and you have a few little tricks i might borrow. Thanks!

Good video, thank you

To transfer any image onto anything use transfer paper aka graphite paper. It was originally used for typewriters, but these days is made for diy purposes. There's different variants for the different materials you want to transfer onto. Such as wood has 1 type, as well as metal has another type. It saves alot of hassle.

this is excellent information. thanks very much!

Very interesting and very well explained. waiting for part two

Looking forward to part two!

Damar Varnish as used by oil painters makes an excellent replacement for our Muscelage glue. Put a small drop on the surface and rub it in with your finger and within seconds it tacks off and will accept your art work that you burnish onto it. You can then hit the artwork with a thin quick coat of "Artist Fixatif" as used over chock and pencil drawings to make it all permanent while you work over it. It comes off very ease with denatured alcohol.

Very interesting video. You can get a nylon rotor brush from Rio Grande that works very well for polishing silver along with a polishing compound.

Brilliant video thank you.

Very nice, detailed video. Epic :)

Love the info but the sounds as if your eating is my 1 thing i cant hear. Props to a master

Lol the rocking hammer in the first of the video

Thank you so much for such a great instructional video! I've looked everywhere for similar wire to what you use and can't find it anywhere. Everyone points to rio grande but they seem to only have very very fine wire

I think that's the glue from horses..lol nice video and nice work

I Enjoyed Your Work Sir!!!!

What are specifications of the wire you are using? Where did you purchase it? Great video!

Hello! Thank you very much for these videos, i learnt a lot out of them! Could you help me, please? What is a right size of a vire if i have to flatten it myself?

The sanding disks that come with Dremel are not my favorite tool. Where can I find the kind used in this video? Thanks for sharing. I am currently looking into creating some special looks in a Flintlock Rifle Stock I'm working on. Thought I would do some brass inlay and after watching your video I think some wire inlay would look nice also. I already have a Dremel but like I said the sanding disks and cutting wheels with the little screw that hold them on are not that easy to work with. Velcro would be much easier and I hope I can find the Floppy Disks that will work on a Dremel. I do have the Chuck Adapter for the Dremel and a Roto Zip if I should find the Floppy Disk that will fit on it. Each use a different diameter shaft on the accessories. Hope someone can give me some info about the Floppy Disks. God Bless!

i dont think i heard a word you said cause of that hammer thing in the background, gotta restart

Very informative Paul I can tell I'm going to enjoy your chanel. Was wondering if you can use modified hex wrenches to make the stabbing tools?

I've not watched the whole Video yet I want to buy or know how to make the little hammer gadget, in the background "CUTE"

This is very helpful information. Where can I find on-line patterns for wire gun stock inlays?

Really enjoying this content thanks Paul. Is your printer ink jet or laser toner by the way?

What tool exactly (and how do you use it) do you use to punch out your sandpaper and velcro disks to exactly fit your floppy disk silicone polishing wheels?

Velcro has hook (hard) surface and a loop (soft) surface. Non-Velcro fastener is called "Hook & Loop Fastener.

Wow! Thank you!

Paul, could you tell me, are you using "dead soft" silver?

how do you put a fitting on a shepherds axe not a wire but like a 4 mm brass wire

Fun game.... Count how many times he says stabbed .

Totally distressed by hammer toy in background 😂

El de los subtítulos a debido beber antes de traducir o no se...

Cool Hammer!

Just thought of something! When the M of P is sanded down, does it retain the luster of the original face ?

Anyone else miss the first 45 seconds because of that hammer? lol

Where can I find the small handle tools that you have the exact blades in?

Where's part 2

What is the wire thickness in mm?

100 thousands of inch or centimeter?

When transferring you drawing to wood have you ever tried carbon paper.

Do you have any experience with inlay into ebony wood? Will that seal up after it has been wet as well?

Si ma profession bien venir en maoc

Why would you say you can eat and drink the glue. How is thatrelevant to the process

What do you mean by 10000 thick? One milimeter?

I don't want to buy one I wanted to build one.. thanks

Fuck me dude, I hope you made it through the video?

I tuned in to the stabbing of the wood. Got bored and left after 25 minutes and still no stabbing. Way drawn out video.

Maybe I didn't pay that much attention,but I didn't learn anything from this video except; don't eat Fucking glue man!!! Especially old school glue. That stuff still has horse hooves,and pig sinew in it. So if it taste like bacon; you're probably right...

It is like a slow death............

To much Bullsh#t Talking lol
