My lord I finally found a youtube woodworking video with no expoxy, and a wood worker that is aware that there are other woods besides walnut. Major round of applause sir!
Well you finally found us! That's great!
Someone hates Blacktail studio 😹😹😹
@@michaellewis1884 Hate is a strong word, and I'm not singling out anyone. But literally 99% of woodworking youtube channels use only walnut, and mostly live edge. And of those 50% of them use epoxy in every build. It's a tired look with no creativity. They are bowing down to the algerythm.
@@paulhopkins1905I’m just yanking your chain he recently had a video talking about non epoxy and non black walnut so made me think of that
But this dude def earned my sub. I agree get rid of the FaceTime talks so much and do voice overs. I’m loving what’s I see so far.
The intricacy of the inlay is AMAZING! Those jigs are a whole other level of math... very impressive work. Can't wait for part 2!
Well worth the time.
It’s crazy how much creativity is needed just to be able to make the cuts for the inlay
It really is crazy. I thought for a while on this one. Thanks for watching!
You earned my subscription.
Thanks for the sub! I'll see you on the next one!
Thanks for having the honesty to tell viewers about the later setback.
As a cabinetmaker - furniture maker since 1972 in Australia I felt for you throughout your build and felt anxious about the possibility of a call back.
With work as challenging as that there are so many things that can go wrong , but we’ll done anyway .

I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! Cheers!
Thank you for coming back to part one and adding links to parts 2 and 3.
I'm happy to make them available to you. Thanks for watching!
You’re are the wizard of inspiration. Amazing and glad I found this channel
I'm glad you found us too! Thanks for watching!
I was just searching for how to bend brass to the right radius for inlaying. You answered my question, but the whole video was an incredible treat! Thanks.
I'm glad you got more out of it than you intended! Thanks for watching!
Amazing! Very inspirational!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching
Me oh my. This takes “next level” to the next level!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
This man need 10 million subscribers ❤
I appreciate you!
Well, thankyou for the lesson in inlay!
I need to watch this video 7 times to learn all the tips and more importantly, what not to do.
Saved in my lesson playlist!
Love your channel and have subscribed.

I appreciate that. Thanks, and good luck with your creations!
Thank you. I'll be back
That's great to hear!
That's tight work man 😮😊😯🤔😃
Thank you. I appreciate that
Hats off to ya. Not a river table!🎉
Haha thank you!
Ingenious use of jigs on this one! beautiful work for real! Also your animation sections are very well done and help visualize what your explaining nicely.
Thanks, the animations take a long time to make, but really help to drive the point home. Between the actual inlay work, the filming, editing, and animation, I put a metric ton into each video. So I very much appreciate when people notice.
Thanks for watching!
@@FortressFineWoodworks I've got a few videos on YT as well so I know the massive work involved! I dont know about you but I greatly underestimated the work involved putting out quality content!
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous!
Great job! And the real deal, not some laser cut job.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Really good video. Subscribed on the strength of this alone 👌🏼
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate you
Well, you earned my subscription with this video. Aesthetic is personal whilst skill is universal. I don’t really like the aesthetic of the finished product (entirely personal) but I have total admiration for the skill you showed in the inlays. I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and appreciate very much the skill required in those jigs.
By God, rosewood is so attractive. It’s very busy and that aesthetic may not suit every project or every decor. But, where it does, it really lifts. We’ve got a couple of pieces of antique rosewood and mahogany furniture and I would guess those planks and grain pattern are just unavailable now, Here in the UK, Bolivian rosewood is very rare. Indian rosewood is better but all rosewood is very expensive. Solid timber for a 96” x 30” x 2” (rough sawn thickness) would be over £2500 and that’s using 4” wide staves. I’d have to make a similar table out of shop sawn thick veneers with solid wood edging. Can’t think of an affordable solution other than that - apart from buying an antique table and cutting that up for the timber (I shudder at the thought of that).
Thank you, I appreciate that. Everyone has their own taste, and gothic is a very niche style.
Rosewood is also awfully expensive here. But morado is quite a bit cheaper
Looks like a good reason to invest in a Shaper Origin.
No kidding! I agree 100%
Fantastic. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 can’t wait for part 2.
I appreciate it! Really! Part 2 will actually go back in time to the beginning of the build where I fabricated the Rosewood top. (I'm pretty sure)
Best Shaper Origin ad ever. LOL
Right?? I thought the same thing. That would be the exact tool for the job
Remarkable craftsmanship!
Thanks man! Trying my best
Excellent
Thanks!
Perfect work! Amazing!
I appreciate you watching!
Lovely.
Thank you!
beautiful!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
OMG!!! you do some crazy shit man I love this Chanel beautiful work man hope one day I can create something that special like this table
I really appreciate that! I hope to see you learn and grow then!
Perfection
Thank you so much!
Excellent video.
FYI "Bolivian Rosewood" is not a rosewood It is M. Scleroxylon or Machhaerium villosom.. not a true dalbergia (rosewood)
It is also known as Pau Ferro, Santos Rosewood, Morado, Iron Wood, jacaranda and many others.
Nice wood, I have a considerable stash bought decades ago. Musical instrument quality.
Liked and subscribed.
That's awesome to know. Thank you for the sub too!
Beautiful work. Was the sealant UV resistant or has this begun to turn that nice cherry color?
Bolivian Rosewood doesn't change much. The clearcoat has some uv protection in it
Ive had really bad luck with CA glue holding brass, and I know others that have also. I hope this held up well for you. I have had to switch to epoxy or hide glue depending on the project when using brass.
I see the table on a daily basis and those inlays are still perfect
Man your content is amazing! Could use more BGM options tho :p
I could switch to rock and be like the other 99% of woodworkers on youtube. Thank you, and I appreciate you watching
What is the spray tack used on the ebony at 9:01? I could really use something like that and the last one i tried bonded too hard and left a ton of residue.
I think it was elmers temporary spray adhesive
Wow, this is way harder than what I've been doing: sharpen one edge and a 50-ton hydraulic trip hammer (the trick is to get the wood good and wet first around the impact site). Of course, my intarsia always comes out looking like someone tried to do the wood glue and sawdust trick over a 3' area, so maybe this is worth trying.
Give it a try, see what works better. Thanks for watching!
@@FortressFineWoodworks Just for clarity here, man, I was totally kidding. Anyone who's ever seen an example of a 50-ton triphammer driving inlay directly into wood knows... very little afterwards, I suspect. I guess it depends on how much brain cavity coverage their face shield offers. I suspect the results would be fairly... kinetic.
Got it now!
My bueno
Thank you!
Wouldn't adding a tiny gap for the saw throw off the overall length of some of the pieces?
Well yah, it makes those connecting inlay pieces a millimeter shorter, therefor changing the alignment
Do you have a nail clipper ?
Whats that?
You just made my brain stop working. Holy s**t. This is next-level stuff, and while I'm not at that level (yet), I completely see the need for the elaborate jig system. It truly is genius. As if all this wasn't total awesomesauce, now we all come to find out you're a skilled luthier?? I love the rosewood, too, but have a question regarding the ebony - it's insanely expensive, so could you substitute another wood (maple) and then just dye it black, or is there an inherent property of ebony that requires that species?
Thank you, and that is a great question! Ebony is useful because it basically has no pores. But mainly, it's used for class. I suggest using a less porous piece of wenge. Otherwise, you would have to literally soak the maple in their strip form, with an alcohol based dye so they don't warp. The problem this might present is bleeding the color when you add the thin CA. 🤔
@@FortressFineWoodworks Great advice! Thanks!
Yes sir!
REALLY??? $100 for that ONE PIECE of GRADE "B" EBONY?!?!? (I have no idea if that's good or not) idk where you get your wood but have you tried that online wood delivery company that Four Eyes Furniture, Shawn Boyd, and Blacktail Studio all use? they always speak so highly of them ( I can't recall the name name of the company right this second) but I have no idea about their prices or selection.... It couldn't hurt to look around art a bunch of sources when it comes to wood THAT EXPENSIVE, so I personally think it's worth looking into it if I could save myself even 10% ... it adds up over multiple projects and they seem to have a wide selection....
Figured I'd mention it just incase you were unaware... I'll go look for the name of the company :)
it's called 'woodworkerssource' :D
It's woodworkers source, and yes, you can buy A grade Ebony online very easily. Look there

The advertising sucks😂 At least give an option to skip it and not t
I'm sorry that was your experience. Hopefully some of my other content (that don't have sponsorships) will suit you better. Thanks so much for watching!
cant hear shit
Sorry about that. Thanks for watching!
Try using a up/down spiral compression bit, that should give you a clean cut with no blowout.
Add it to the list! The warehouse is so expensive, I haven't been able to buy luxury items like that lately! Thank you for the suggestion.
