Bowtie Key Inlays (No Jigs)

This is how I make and inlay bowtie (butterfly) keys. I recommend this method to those who don’t do it often enough to make or buy jigs. You’ll need your tools, a sharp pencil, steady hands, and good eyes. It's really not hard. Be sure to chamfer the bottom edges of your bowtie to make the fit a little easier and mix the router sawdust into the glue to help hide any imperfections. Hope this helps someone out there!

Steady hands and good eyes for sure. Looks great.

Just found your channel I love your videos! Bow ties have been intimidating for a while. Not so much after this video thanks.
