I bought a vhs video from Bill Moran about 25 years ago on how to do this inlay and I can already tell, this is going to be much more informative. Thank you so much Paul for starting up UA-cam, you're the guy I want to be like when I grow up (I'm 44)!
I love seeing the ways you have used normal materials like the punched velcro and felt pads. For those of us with not a ton of money for buffing pads and the like it is extremely helpful!
Excellent information - I've been a woodworker for maybe 50 some odd years and I still learned quite a bit today. Thanks! I'll look for some of your other videos.
This is pure experience talking. You can learn a *ton* listening to a guy like this and benefiting from his years of experimentation and refining of his tools and techniques. This video is a treasure of information.
Thank you for showing the floppy disks and your modifications! Very useful! By the way, the Velcro terms are "hook" for the prickly face, and "loop" for the fuzzy face. :)
Hi Paul! Thanks so much for sharing your talents! I just found your channel on youtube through Keith Fenner and Keith Rucker. You sir are an artist! There is so much knowledge crammed into that head of yours that it will take years to share it. I for one would like you to explain your story of how you began, what training you had and how you developed your tremendous skills. If anybody out there with the technical training for video and editing and producing could help this gentleman out, the craftsmen and machinist communities would be appreciative and enriched! Thank you again Mr. Hamler!
Damar Varnish as used by oil painters makes an excellent replacement for our Muscelage glue. Put a small drop on the surface and rub it in with your finger and within seconds it tacks off and will accept your art work that you burnish onto it. You can then hit the artwork with a thin quick coat of "Artist Fixatif" as used over chock and pencil drawings to make it all permanent while you work over it. It comes off very ease with denatured alcohol.
To transfer any image onto anything use transfer paper aka graphite paper. It was originally used for typewriters, but these days is made for diy purposes. There's different variants for the different materials you want to transfer onto. Such as wood has 1 type, as well as metal has another type. It saves alot of hassle.
Thanks, I. Picked up a few tips I may try when I build and polish my pocket knives such as the furniture pads. Good one! I was researching trying to learn a bit about inlay for knife handles. This was certainly educational for me, thanks for doing this presentation.
What tool exactly (and how do you use it) do you use to punch out your sandpaper and velcro disks to exactly fit your floppy disk silicone polishing wheels?
I really enjoyed your video. Educational and informative, while being just a delight to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing this, it will really help with a project of mine, I appreciate it!
The sanding disks that come with Dremel are not my favorite tool. Where can I find the kind used in this video? Thanks for sharing. I am currently looking into creating some special looks in a Flintlock Rifle Stock I'm working on. Thought I would do some brass inlay and after watching your video I think some wire inlay would look nice also. I already have a Dremel but like I said the sanding disks and cutting wheels with the little screw that hold them on are not that easy to work with. Velcro would be much easier and I hope I can find the Floppy Disks that will work on a Dremel. I do have the Chuck Adapter for the Dremel and a Roto Zip if I should find the Floppy Disk that will fit on it. Each use a different diameter shaft on the accessories. Hope someone can give me some info about the Floppy Disks. God Bless!
Google wire inlay patterns and change google search to images. This will give you several examples and point to several sites for more examples. I do not know of a specific site that offers patterns, From the google pictures my recommendation is practice , practice drawing them after a while it becomes easier to draw and custom draw your own.
Most stabbing tools were made from 01 or piano wire. The offset chisel used to inlay the square nuts was made from an allen wrench because they work well and are easier to do controlled bends.
Hello! Thank you very much for these videos, i learnt a lot out of them! Could you help me, please? What is a right size of a vire if i have to flatten it myself?
Are you going to flatten round wire in a roll press? I recommend using brass or nickel to learn with. Buy from any long rifle supplier as mentioned in video,after practice get some silver flat from Rio Grande
I live in Hungary, so i think ill find some vires here. Yes, ill use a machine, same as a roll press. What is the perfect size for the wire, i should look for? Thanks for your help, I appreciate a lot 8)
Erfeen A'Naeth I have never rolled flat wire from round,I’ll test in the next few days and get back with you . The finished with should be about.05 inches wide and.01 to .03 thick.
Maybe I didn't pay that much attention,but I didn't learn anything from this video except; don't eat Fucking glue man!!! Especially old school glue. That stuff still has horse hooves,and pig sinew in it. So if it taste like bacon; you're probably right...
Thank you so much for such a great instructional video! I've looked everywhere for similar wire to what you use and can't find it anywhere. Everyone points to rio grande but they seem to only have very very fine wire
I have and it is not as user friendly as maple and other woods, Some ebony can be softened with alcohol in small sections prior to stabbing in. I have used a router and CNC to create a pocket for the wire and then use black epoxies to lock in the inlay. The other option is to use sperial amalgam to fill the stabbing or pocket.

Paul, a clean and neat workshop is the sign of a sick mind. Just saying.
you are exactly right
Wow so glad you are making videos keep going
I'm 25 and I can't explain things this well when I'm awake and caffeinated. Pump up the standards boys.
this is excellent information. thanks very much!
My goodness, the wisdom! Thanks so much for this! Great tips that will save a ton on buying Dremel pads.

Fantastic Paul. Keep up the videos. Excellent information, well presented.
Totally distressed by hammer toy in background 😂
i dont think i heard a word you said cause of that hammer thing in the background, gotta restart
Thank you - some very useful information there!
Thanks for the excellent tool tips, they will come in handy
Fun game.... Count how many times he says stabbed .
What is it with folk named Paul and having the absolute utmost of experience in their craft
They are sex symbols
Anyone else miss the first 45 seconds because of that hammer? lol
Yes! It is the only reason I checked out the comments!
Love the info but the sounds as if your eating is my 1 thing i cant hear. Props to a master
I agree
Lol the rocking hammer in the first of the video
I came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed. I had to watch it from the beginning again because I wasn't paying attention
Fuck me dude, I hope you made it through the video?
you hurt my feelings

Very nice, detailed video.
Epic :)
Unbelievably good information!!! Thanks
El de los subtítulos a debido beber antes de traducir o no se...
sorry i don't speak foreign language
To much Bullsh#t Talking lol
Mute your computer
Thanks for sharing your tricks with the polishing pads.
Nice tips. I like how you modified the floppy disks with chair pads.
Thanks, I. Picked up a few tips I may try when I build and polish my pocket knives such as the furniture pads. Good one! I was researching trying to learn a bit about inlay for knife handles. This was certainly educational for me, thanks for doing this presentation.
Very interesting video. You can get a nylon rotor brush from Rio Grande that works very well for polishing silver along with a polishing compound.
What tool exactly (and how do you use it) do you use to punch out your sandpaper and velcro disks to exactly fit your floppy disk silicone polishing wheels?
search e bay steel hole punches to see the type I use,
really liked the video, was not aware that so much stuff was involved in doing wire inlay. Great tips also. thank you.
Where's part 2
ua-cam.com/video/hGrviqJK3Dc/v-deo.html
I think that's the glue from horses..lol nice video and nice work
I really enjoyed your video. Educational and informative, while being just a delight to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing this, it will really help with a project of mine, I appreciate it!
how do you put a fitting on a shepherds axe not a wire but like a 4 mm brass wire
Not sure what you’re referring to “fitting “
What are specifications of the wire you are using? Where did you purchase it? Great video!
Rio part # 101-071
Track of the Wolf has brass and nickel silver
also Dixons in Pa. has nickel and brass
Very interesting and very well explained. waiting for part two
Brilliant video thank you.

Go to RioGrande.com and search for floppy disk they have them.
@@paulhamler8315 Thank You I've ordered a couple. Can't wait to give them a try.
This is very helpful information. Where can I find on-line patterns for wire gun stock inlays?

I do not know of a specific site that offers patterns, From the google pictures my recommendation is practice , practice drawing them after a while it becomes easier to draw and custom draw your own.
I've not watched the whole Video yet I want to buy or know how to make the little hammer gadget, in the background "CUTE"
The hammer was a modification of this www.amazon.com/Schylling-WP-Woodpecker-Toy/dp/B00123COXK
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. You are doing great.
Good video, thank you
Very informative Paul I can tell I'm going to enjoy your chanel.
Was wondering if you can use modified hex wrenches to make the stabbing tools?
Most stabbing tools were made from 01 or piano wire. The offset chisel used to inlay the square nuts was made from an allen wrench because they work well and are easier to do controlled bends.
Always a delight to be schooled by you!! Many Thanks!!
Paul, could you tell me, are you using "dead soft" silver?
Rio Grande fine silver
Si ma profession bien venir en maoc
you don't say
!!! GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WATCHED OVER AND OVER. YOU ARE GREAT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks
When transferring you drawing to wood have you ever tried carbon paper.
yes
Really enjoying this content thanks Paul. Is your printer ink jet or laser toner by the way?
ink jet
Just thought of something!
When the M of P is sanded down, does it retain the luster of the original face ?
nope must refinish
Where can I find the small handle tools that you have the exact blades in?
Most all of mine are custom made.Check Rio Gande or Brownells or Otto Ferri
I Enjoyed Your Work Sir!!!!
What is the wire thickness in mm?
23

Thanks you may be the first to notice.
What do you mean by 10000 thick? One milimeter?
.010 inches
Great job on the videos. I started making longrifles about 7 years ago and you have a few little tricks i might borrow. Thanks!
I tuned in to the stabbing of the wood. Got bored and left after 25 minutes and still no stabbing. Way drawn out video.
This is a 2 part video go to part 2 and stab away
Why would you say you can eat and drink the glue. How is thatrelevant to the process
Maybe I didn't pay that much attention,but I didn't learn anything from this video except; don't eat Fucking glue man!!! Especially old school glue.

Paul Hamler thank you very much!
I don't want to buy one I wanted to build one.. thanks
I understand but sometimes in order to make something you can study a working model and make custom modifications to achieve your design.
Yes, Thank you for you patience, I assumed you had a video of that"whirly gig" Love the inlay stuff, thanks again! S.
Do you have any experience with inlay into ebony wood? Will that seal up after it has been wet as well?
Should have waited until the end. I see you address ebony. Thanks.
I have and it is not as user friendly as maple and other woods, Some ebony can be softened with alcohol in small sections prior to stabbing in. I have used a router and CNC to create a pocket for the wire and then use black epoxies to lock in the inlay. The other option is to use sperial amalgam to fill the stabbing or pocket.
