Perfect Inlays Using A Router - Woodworking How-to
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video, I'll show you how to get perfect inlays using a router. This simple method allows you to do all kinds of woodworking inlays. Using a router and this kit, you can cut pretty much any shape of inlay you can dream up, not just bow ties. We happened to use it to get perfect bow ties using a router, but you can invent other shapes also.

Great video, Bruce! That was a super fun day.
Thanks, Caleb! Yep...it sure was a blast.
What a great idea to use clear acrylic!
I really liked how you could see through the template to make sure you were putting your inlay in exactly the right spot.
You totally routered and bowtied like a boss. Well done Bruce!!
Ha! Thanks, Chris!
That tabletop turned out fantastic! I may have to try and make an acrylic template
I want to make some and get this kit too. I think it could be done without a plunge router but that sure makes it easier.
Nice! That grain is so cool. I like the behind the scenes feel on the router skill!
Thanks, guys! It was cool to get instruction from Nick. He knows a ton!
Well done, sir! Gotta get me a plunge router and a bushing set!
Thank you! I want them also. I don't own either, but I'm seriously considering them now.
Great video and project Bruce! Bow ties have always intimidated me, but this actually makes me feel like I may be able to do some! Very cool!
Thanks so much, Ethan! I'm glad I was able to break it down for you a little bit. You can totally do them!
Very cool how-to on cutting and inlaying those bows. Man, I need to go with the bushing technique for cutting out pickup and neck pockets in bass bodies. That looks like a cleaner way to do it without tearing out around the edge of the pockets. *added to Amazon wishlist* lol Nice work Bruce!
I didn’t even think of the application to guitars. That’s a great idea! Thanks!
That template is really cool! Nicely done and extremely repeatable.
I want to start doing some of my own.
great job Bruce, and i like the tip about screwing the template down when cutting the inlay. ill be using that one.
Thank you! Yeah, that’s a very useful one and works great!
That is a neat way to do inlays. I might have to try this out. Thank you for sharing, Bruce!
It is really easy and you can make your own shapes to follow with the bushings. Thank you!
Holy cow this is great!!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks Bruce for sharing !
Thanks so much, Keith!
Great Video Bruce👍
Thank you, Steve!
Awesome video Bruce! Thanks. Well explained and well done!
Thank you very much!
Really cool Bruce! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks so much, Fred!
Just use a bigger spiral upcut to hog out the rest.
While you can use router based inlays for things like butterflies, as shown in this video, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The brass inlay kit converts your plunge router into a handheld CNC machine allowing you to make exacting and precise cuts! Take a look at my avatar for a small sample of what you can do with an EZInlays router template kit.
If you want to try a template kit out let me know and I'll hook ya up!
Looking good with that plunge router. Think you’ll add one to you’re shop?
Yeah, I really think I will. I've been wanting one for a while and this just solidified it.
Does nick have social media we can follow?
They're not on RUclips (yet), but go give them a follow on Instagram @lakesidewoodworksky
Why didn't you just route out the entire bowtie when you make the initial cut?
The bit is quite small in this kit and it would take a lot longer than removing the bulk of the material quickly with a chisel.
@@BruceAUlrich I have 2 questions regarding this:
1- If I change the bit to, say a 1/4" or 1/2", could it be removed cleaner and in a more even fashion than a hammer and a chisel?
2- Could I use this same system to apply it to a mortise and tenon for joinery? Like if I have a slab that I want to join to a wooden base and wanted to make the joint really tight, but use it the other way around, like to to make the tenon on the slab, remove all the excess on a router sled and the mortise on the wooden base? (Sounds like a great deal of work, but aiming towards a close to perfect fit and look seems like it's worth the fuzz)
An American said “millimetres”.
Whoops! ha ha
