Those little gaps would drive me crazy

Hopefully everybody is now done sniping.  I think this is inspiring and it has motivated me to try some things..  I also think you are very brave posting this for all of us to learn from...and evidently to get poked at for your efforts.  If you used mechanized processes and it was perfect...you would merely have different snipers.  I am grateful that these techniques are within my grasp so I feel comfortable making the effort.  Thanks!

What a beautiful finished product on a complicated thing to do by hand. Very impressive, I would love to see more content like this. Thanks for making this video! Keep it up.

That would look awesome on a skateboard for decoration!
Loved it!

That was so cool! I wonder what would happen if you took a heat gun to the metal bits after putting it in the channels. Looks really magical anyway.

Thank you for this instructional - This whole process is new to me, so it was good to see this method. Thank you for the knowledge bombs! I will use this method on my next project.

Great job guys, love your channel, always helpful! Great work!

Don't let the complex patern here deter you... I've had huge success with just straight lines of brass inlay in wood. Same process but MUCH simpler when it comes to the meticulous placement and length of the wire. Comes out looking great.

What! ...No $100,000 CNC machine, no super software? ...by hand???   Bloody Nice!!!

Your little exercise is like porno for craftsman...keep up the good work, mate

Very beautiful. What a level of Elegance. Idea..... make some wall sconces with this wire inlay as a circle just behind a candles flame. Several circles stacked one on top of the other or a narrow width strip running top to bottom setting behind the candle. Tea cup candles would work well because they typically burn in place. I really enjoyed this video. Very nicely done to include the music.

this was incredible!!  Thank you!!  a lesson in many ways including patience.....

I did my first copper wire inlay to a piece of black walnut and it came out pretty good. I do understand the gaps in the copper wire inlay. when you sand the piece of wood you have to be careful or you will sand the wire to thin in places and it will break off and there you have the gaps. I used 18 gauge copper wire that I purchased at Home Depot and I flattened the wire with a Pepe Tools rolling mill.

Beautiful! This is the type of content I want from make.

Beautiful work!  Clever idea thinning the wire first before sinking it in.  Lovely job :)

I can't imagine a kind of person who would have the patience to do fiddly work like this but not be driven crazy by the gaps. I do appriciate the video though, this might make a neat present for someone. I might have to give it a try sometime.

I've been wanting to do that in some of my work! But I was going to use the pre-made flat wire. I don't have a roller thingy!! Thanks for sharing.

You make it look so simple. I am inspired by your work. Thank You WCD

what brought me here was the photo etching process used in modelling, which i think would make for perfect inlay material.

this is looks like quite a fun project been looking something different to do for a while now thanks for posting this came across it by complete accident

Very nice job.  I enjoyed the video & admire how all was done by hand.  That being said,  hand crafted items may & most likely have flaws.  That's what makes them completely unique to production made items.
