Love your work.
May I suggest that you make a chamfer at the bottom of your stop block, that way any sawdust will not hold the work away from the stop.
Thanks for the suggestion and the compliment! That’s been a recent update. Very worth pointing it out.
Wow! Awesome!!! Sharing!!!
Thanks!
I love your videos on inlay!! They always turn out gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🙂
Thanks, Lisa! They’re really rewarding, both in satisfaction and in the monetary sense. I always enjoy a good challenge like this one.
Awesome work. While I have the tools to do this, I just don't have the patience to do this.
Thanks, Scott! This one does require a bit of patience. I'd suggest you try some of the simpler ones, like the Diamond pattern. I'm putting all of the inlay videos into a playlist on my channel to make it easier to find what you might be looking for.
You really do a nice job every time. If it's possible to make a wish, I'd love to see you create a meander pattern (greek key) that I can use for innlay when building classical guitars. lj Norway
Thanks for the request! I have several projects underway, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind! I presume you would want end grain for that application?
@@SkyValleyStudio That's right, would love to see the steps you use when creating these. There's someone making it here, but I don't get much out this video ruclips.net/video/73vFIRDBAFw/видео.html. Thanks again.
All I can say is wow!
So many good pointers too. I've never considered a through piece grain orientation on the sections. I try to do inlays but also thought if I wanted a through I'd just use some of my existing. That would have bit me and I probably never would know why either. Maybe blamed the glue..
Many intermediate steps to clean up I used to try and skimp on..Get to the fun. Who wants to sand? But painfully discovered the more I do it's a pay me now or pay me later type thing.. Spend the time cleaning as much as you can now as you go. Or spend the time solving problems on fit up, not as good final result and who knows what other unexpected result. Not just in banding either. So lots of good tips there too.
Thanks for sharing..
I’m glad you find our videos helpful! Yes, patience and taking the time for precision definitely pays off.
We’d love to see some of your resulting projects.
@@SkyValleyStudio I don't know how else to do this so I just uploaded a 5 second clip to youtube.. No making fun(G)
Not sure how this will work out but here you go.. ruclips.net/video/0NDNGfyNWdc/видео.html
So one I didn't screw up.

I typed message with link to a youTube video in previous message. It doesn't seem to show for me. however if interested I believe you can click my name and I took quick 5 second video of one frame I had handy last night. Just a proof of concept that I could do it.
I'm never sure if you see a posting from me with link or not. I believe you have on you settings Channel status and features =>community=>block link enabled. My best guess. Which is probably good. I just cannot link to a pic or other video.
Thanks, Greg. The frame came out really nice! Sorry about the delay in comments and getting your post approved. Looks like RUclips needed me to approve the post with a link to another video first to prevent potential spam. I’ll check the other setting you mentioned too.
Can ask semi related question?
I've made a big uh oh! on a nearly finished big frame.. I'm sick.. I've got about a 1/16th gap that runs about 2 1/2 inches where the inlay banding will go.. router moved while routing.. I'm going to try and fill it and save it. I always use saw dust from a sander and yellow glue. Usually looks ok, and doesn't draw attention but is never the same color..And usually not this big of a mistake Would mixing dust with white(elmers) glue be better than yellow wood glue. Or something even better in your vast knowledge arsenal I should try?
Thanks.
I would take the opportunity two a 1/32 of an inch thick strip on either side of the inlay. If the router slipped and only a part of it, I would reroute the gap for the inlay all around the frame, add the strips to the sides of my inlay and fit it into the piece.
And alternative to this would be to glue in a close grain match piece of wood into the gap. Using sawdust will not give you the same results on that wide of a gap.
As far as the type of glue to use, I would suggest using hide glue or “old brown glue” rather than yellow glue. Hide to glue is stainable and won’t leave glue residue that won’t take a finish like yellow glue does. I have also successfully used shellac as the bonding agent in making wood filler paste.
@@SkyValleyStudio Thank you for taking the time to respond. i took similar route.. I wanted to avoid if possible re-routing fearing chasing the problem I would make worse. I bought some Hide glue and tried mixing with several different species of sawdust on some scrap from the board. Hide went really dark when mixed. Mixed it with dust from white oak, willow oak, maple and box elder.. I saw Hide translucent on amazon but they didn't have that ACE so maybe that is what I needed. Did same with yellow glue
I was just hoping for a magic bullet to avoid routing again.. although it was a dice roll for me I think. Another mistake and the frame was shot.. I think it was the right choice.. Seem to be back on track. Thank you again.
