Reguarding the clean out; what you call, "monotonous", and "boring", I call it pure joy. I love cutting wood.

I like the reality of your presentation. Instead trying to portray your process as “perfect” you were honest and showed us the little nicks and how to fix them to make for a good finish! Thanks for the info!

This is just what I needed - i searched on "Using a Router Inlay Kit" and I see that Glen has my router and plunge base - what a gift!

Removing the double stick tape: on the inlay piece apply painter tape then double stick tape. After inlay is cut, pull-up inlay and peal painter’s tape off of inlay. The painter’s tape releases easier than the double stick tape.

Great job , explaining the method.

Crazy, I bought my bandsaw from Glen. He's an awesome guy and seeing his inlay work in person, his skills are also awesome.

Glen has some great skills to learn from. I miss his and Bob Lang's contributions to the magazine.

Very interesting, picked up some good info. But where is your hearing protection??? I see so many videos where, like this one, no one even bothers with ear muffs.

Good demonstration Glen.

Use a chisel to clean up the corners of the piece, and leave the inlet crisp and sharp. The rounded corners look less craftsman like. Admittedly 99.9% of people won’t see a difference. But, every woodworker will. And, drilling a small hole out the back of the host piece to let any extra glue and trapped air out. A future video, of hiding a knot with an inlay and a bit of added grain to match it in.

Very instructive video. Thanks! I have the same router (in Australia) but it did not come with a base that would allow that insert to be fitted. Any ideas where I might obtain a suitable base?

Very informative video, thank you

Very informative 👍🇬🇧 thanks

I already have my "plug piece" is it just a case of same process but reverse the bushing off to cut the recess template the route my recess with the bushing on using the template i cut?

Above everything demonstrate patience for a job done well.

Wouldn't it look sharper to chisel the corners out rather than rounding off the corners of the inlay?

I appreciate you leaving in the part where your inlay doesn’t fit quite right. It gives us a heads-up of the kinds of things to watch for.

I prefer to mark the sharp internal corners with a knife before routing out, and then chisel them out if possible. A neater look IMO.

Why use a router, just hammer it in! :) Joking, thanks for the detailed video. I will buy an inlay kit thanks to what i have learned here.

Heat, beat, fit and finish!

Not many people, and none of the manufacturers, point out that by design these kits will not create compatible positives and negatives and that the either the positive or the negative will have to be shaped by hand to fit. Good on ya.

How did you make the pattern?

OK, gracias por sus videos, thanks for your videos J.M.Castilla@2018

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzfaq.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

newbie here. Question. Why does the inlay have a hard edge and the negative have a round edge?

The ONLY video I have seen showing how the router insert actually goes on the router. How to figure out if the bushing WILL ACTUALLY FIT THE ROUTER YOU HAVE is the BIG question as it is not stated on the ones on amazon.

This should be R-rated

Good Job! :)

One word....”Chisels”😂

Link to a kit? I already have an inlay bit

So how's your hearing?

If it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer :)

greta video in the future have your camera get right on your hands and the work way more to

How about a thicker inlay. Yeaaaaaa

That was a rough finish. It didn't even fit.

This wood working book “Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it) covers everything from wood types to tool types as well as uses. It also tells you about the different types of wood and just how easy or hard they are to work with. This book has been very helpful and is a good one for somebody just getting into woodworking. .

This is undoubtedly the best wood working book I have ever read, “Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it). The book consists of attractive images and drawings and reader-friendly text. This is a “must have” woodworking book because everything you should know about wood working is available here and it truly walks you throughout the topic well. .

This guy needs to get his breathing checked out.

It's simple, Just go to woodprix page - and enter woodworkers best source.

Add some background music slightly louder than your mouth breathing. 😊
