This is the best video I've ever seen on youtube about string inlay. Thanks a lot for sharing your great technic...

It looks as if you are using a mortise chisel to take down the inlay to near surface level. I had never thought of using it that way. Good instruction.

Until now, did not know this technique existed. You did a marvelous job on explaining every step & process along the way. A very well done tutorial and EXCELLENT Craftsmanship!! Someone is going to be very proud, they may never want to use the pizza peel however. Thanks a lot for you sharing of knowledge and your valuable time.

Thank you. I have just started adding string inlays to my projects and I picked up a few tips.

Great demonstration. I love the challenge of figuring out if there is an order of operations. Cutting through an inlayed piece intersecting or deciding to stop/start skip over it.

Brilliant way to make the fine stringing material which at the best of times is difficult. Thanks for this episode.

Very useful video, thank you!

Half of the fun of woodworking for me is making jigs.

Very educational thank you for sharing

It looks like the jig is more effective, i like the design.

Very nice, many thanks. I am looking to insert brass flat wire and then silver once competence is achieved.  You can buy a length of sterling silver at say 1mm and cut a narrow strip with Wiss aircraft type cutters.  I need to achieve a 1 mm or similar groove in rosewood with probably many more tighter curves.  Any chance of giving it a go? You Tube shows people hammering a groove but the results look like a Kindergarten production.  I did wonder about a double blade cutter with changeable blades. A scalpel comes to mind with a pointed blade. They are 0.7 mm wide, so bound together would give a 0.7 mm groove.  Perhaps a spacer in between? It needs a clever handle perhaps in two pieces which screw together. One blade each side with a location piece and then screw the two sides together. Perhaps two wooden sides a blade in each side and a load of baking soda and CA glue to stick it together to see if it works.   Craftsman knives are probably thicker to give a wider groove. An even worse bodge would be to PVC tape two Craftsman blades together and hold them in a vise grip to see if their is any milage in the idea.

Boa tarde é muito bonito o seu trabalho parabéns, aprendi muito com você

How about a video of how you made your bandsaw jig

Really helpful video, thank you. Do you think it would be possible to use the veritas cutter to run two parallel grooves to get a wider dimension?

Some good info here. Suggestion - I find when slicing the stringing with a chisel it is better to use a slicing motion rather than using the chisel straight on.

Very nice video. Curious though as to where I could get the Lie Nielsen cutters now since they no have the Latta tools. Do they still stock the cutters?

wait how did u make the circle inlay?!

A very useful video.  How do you prevent the glue used on the string inlay from contaminating the surface of the spalted maple?
BTW, once the glue has set to hold the inlay in place I’ve had good luck using a card scraper to reduce the inlay to the depth of the groove.

Cross-grain inlay on solid wood? Not expecting any wood movement? Or am I just being paranoid?
