I've been wanting to do inlays for awhile now. I think you helped with your method. Makes perfect sense to me cut those stops on the outside of blade. Thank you for you for your simple and straight to the point videos.
Another skill to add to all you have taught me. Friends ask me why all my shop projects have interesting little things like this new one... I simply reply: "Because I like to show what Steve Ramsey has taught me!" Thanks SO much for keeping my WoodShop my favorite "dust-maker!"
Thanks Steve! I'm actually working on a project where I'm going to inlay a strip of walnut into red oak. This will be my first time doing inlay so your video couldn't have come at a better time.
Dwight L hello fellow Menards shopper and Steve Ramsey fan! I’ll have to see if they have them when it’s safe to visit Menards again. I can maybe get one with my rebate money.
I saw them at sLowe's yesterday. Rustoleum was on the package. I almost bought one, but the only spray lacquer available was from Krylon, & the handle package did not say whether it would work on other spray cans. Thinking back, I don't see why it wouldn't. Spray cans probably all come from the same manufacturer.
This was an excellent tutorial, as always. Saw a few videos on how to do this, and this explination and steps made it so easy. Short, to the point, clear on every step!. Thanks Steve!
A great basics video would be on standard sizes of lumber and how best to use sizes for different type of projects. I'm still learning and it's something that would be hugely useful so you come home with the best materials for your project
Good content Steve - I'm a fan of inlay. I just recently made a simple picture frame out of padauk. I put just a very thin strip of pine as an inlay around the edge and that's what really made it look nice.
Great video Steve! I am building a project for our daughters wedding and I think I will add a pin stripe like you have made here. As you have mentioned, it will dress it up a little. Thanks for posting, always learn something.
You make it all look way too easy but that's actually really heartening since you ALSO make sure that you're telling us the method - so whenever I go to try some of your projects and so forth, I may not be going at it easy-breezy like you, but I can at least know I'm doing it right or not :D
Edit: I just saw you did a video on this last month! Not sure how I missed this! I hope you see this. Quick question: when you do a quick spray lacquer like that, what exactly are you using, and if you have time, why did you pick that one? Thank you! I love that you think ahead of any differences between your shop and others’ and address how they might address it, like if their fence does not meet the table as yours does. Your videos are very well thought out.
Hi, Steve. In fact, marquetry gives a very beautiful appearance. It seems to require a lot of precision to perform, in addition to skill. Thank you so much for sharing this video and have a great week.
I find the planer works best for me to make the inlay strips and the final thickness of the final piece. I get more consistent thickness of the inlay piece and when glued in place just run the whole board thru for the final thickness of the board. Perfectly flush inlay. That is............ if you have a planer. Thanks Steve. JimE
blackemmons omg I didn’t think of that. I’m going to make a wood frame project, and I can put inlay on all my lengths even before I cut it all to length. It’s a rough project but that’ll be a nice eye catcher. Thank you.
Perfect, as always, Steve - the fact that you can employ so many differing techniques in the cutting approach of course caters to every woodworker's powertool inventory. Classy finishes; my only wish would be, that spray laquer be freely available in the UK - perhaps I'm not sourcing from the right stores - but it's peculiarly difficult to obtain same. Thank you very much !! :D
You are very good at explaining your techniques. You must be a teacher! :) I like your trick on sanding the pin strips when the glue is not completely dry.....i also like the spray gadget for the spray can finish!! Where can one find one of these?
Steve, where was this video last week when I screwed up the paper tray and had to do an inlay just like this cover it up? I had to fake it because the internet was sorely lacking a good video on it. Next time I'll try your technique. Great video!
Steve, I appreciate that your channel shows how to do hard things the easy way. I've learned a lot. Can you do a video on making your own table saw insert plates?
my favorite thing to do is, fill the inlays with epoxy resin. You can literally do any type of color, add stuff in it and when it dries, it turns out real nice. saves from cutting those thin strips too :)
Thanks Steve. I deathly afraid of the table saw, but it think i can do this with a router. I might cut the strip first and then size the groove up according to that.
You read my mind. Ive found another good reason to use an inlay. If you're using reclaimed wood that has nail holes in it, inflating is a good way to cover them up. It makes the piece look nice and you don't waste good wood.
Steve I have one basic question for you. On your table saw, what blade are you using please? Do you find a 100 or higher tooth count blade makes smoother cuts?
I have to do a brass inlay work using 3mm square brass rods, I intend to use veneered mdf as a subtrate to avoid solid wood board movement. However, I am concerned if I use the hand router or a CNC to make groves for the brass, then the veneer may chip off during the routing. The inlay design would be geometric lines. Any advises to avoid the chip off of the veneer would be highly appreciated. Thanks and best..
Absolutely fantastic videos, thank you! I've got a question for you or user experienced workers: What do you do if your inlay is a hard wood but the surface is a soft wood? If it's slightly above the surface, when you sand it down I'd expect that you'll also sand down the soft wood more and retain an undesirable bump.
TheFalconJetDriver I’m ‘new’ to this type of woodworking. I use(d) the table saw mostly for larger less precise cuts. My current fence is, well... garbage. Can you recommend brands for a decent fence, and where I can purchase them?
OMG. "Furniture pinstriping." I love it!
That was a great line!
I've been wanting to do inlays for awhile now. I think you helped with your method. Makes perfect sense to me cut those stops on the outside of blade. Thank you for you for your simple and straight to the point videos.
Wish I would have seen this before my very thin piece went flying across the shop, another great video Steve.
I'm really liking these more down to earth videos.
Super helpful: & wise tip on sanding before glue dries!
Another skill to add to all you have taught me. Friends ask me why all my shop projects have interesting little things like this new one... I simply reply: "Because I like to show what Steve Ramsey has taught me!" Thanks SO much for keeping my WoodShop my favorite "dust-maker!"
Super, and you didn't forget in any step the security in handling. Thankyou for showing us this.
So simple, yet so beautiful. Thanks for the new trick! 🍻
Ya trick ya
💏
You had me at "furniture pin-striping". :D
As always, your videos are very knowledgeable/informative/Enjoyable to watch. Thank you Steve
Steve, for getting the exact width how about using the router bit between the blade and the fence; set fence and bingo, correct spacing. 🙂
It took me almost 3 months, but I have finally watched every video on your channel, including the roller coaster one :P
Thanks Steve! I'm actually working on a project where I'm going to inlay a strip of walnut into red oak. This will be my first time doing inlay so your video couldn't have come at a better time.
Hearing the Words "Spray Lacquer" from you, brings back some old Memories. Bought that same Handle Years ago because of you :)
I was wondering about that handle...Who makes it?
@@PugetSoundFlyer Mine seems to be Brandless, just search for something like "handle spray can"
@@PugetSoundFlyer Believe I got mine at Menards. Other big box stores probably have it as well.

Steve your shop looks so much bigger. Excellent layout and an awesome video
I'm really miss your videos every week
Highland Woodworking sells fancy inlay strips in standard widths, really cool patterns!
Awesome pointers like always and I'm a big fan of how you break it down to the basic steps.
New to the channel, im starting with woodworking, you had help me so much, thank you and greeting from Chile.
Another great video!!! Thanks for showing me a new skill that will improved my work. And teaching me that i can do in different ways. You are great!!!
Such a great and timeless video.
Learn something new every day..thankyou..
You're the first one to say things both inches and centimeters. Sounds silly but for non american's watching this really helps a lot. You're the best!

Man, that paper feeder for your painting point is gorgeous! My compliments!

Steve is back😊😊
"Extra Fancy" Very nice Steve.
Thanks for this video Steve! Need to do some inlay in a box or so!
Thanks Steve, I gotta try this.
Absolutely love this for refinishing a wood floor as well. Turn a standard wood floor into something stunning!
Great video Steve! I am building a project for our daughters wedding and I think I will add a pin stripe like you have made here. As you have mentioned, it will dress it up a little. Thanks for posting, always learn something.
Good
Another informative and pleasant video. Thanks, Steve. That was a nice Friday afternoon treat.
Your shop looks so satisfyingly organized!
✨Oohhh fancy ✨
Steve, Great video as always. Certainly something I need to try.
Glad to see some videos from ya, know you been busy.

Another excellent video Steve!
Would you consider making the tools list with European links?
Keep them vids coming please :)
Pura vida Steve great video on good technique is to cut off tiny piece of lumber with the outside of the blade saw
I will definitively try that. Nice video.
Hi, Steve. In fact, marquetry gives a very beautiful appearance. It seems to require a lot of precision to perform, in addition to skill. Thank you so much for sharing this video and have a great week.
that brown paper roll in the work bench idea. mind = blown
Love this hair cut on you!
Classic Steve with the spray lacquer
Thanks for the glue/sanding/sawdust hint. I am sure it would present a better appearance than filler. I will try to remember it for future use.
Great videos that help me out all of the time!!
Great video as always. Gonna try this on my next project.
Great video and tips, even for a veteran woodworker!
Thanks for the info Steve! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

@@BlackSwan912 If you have the equipment I find it a lot more accurate and you get a really smooth finish with the final planing.
Nice detail!

Stewart Macdonald sells spray laquer.
Thank you, Henry...three years on, I have found a supplier. That said, your gesture was very kind,
Andrew 🙂
I read the title as Custom Inlays for your PLYWOOD Projects, and I liked that idea too, despite that was not the video
Steve, thanks for this video I enjoyed it. Even adding it my saved playlist. Until next time. *Chris*
U are best at ur work
You are very good at explaining your techniques. You must be a teacher! :) I like your trick on sanding the pin strips when the glue is not completely dry.....i also like the spray gadget for the spray can finish!! Where can one find one of these?
Home Depot has them for very cheap.
Great Editing!
Excellent as usual 🙂
Nice easy tip's thanks for your time something I will try
*Great Video Steve, Pl Upload More Videos* 👍👌💯
*I could not get the Weekend Workshop but when it will relaunch again??*

awesome video, thank you Steve.
MICROJIG maker of the GRRRRR GRIPER!!
Great Video Loaded With Great Information !
Another great video thank you.
Very cool!!
Thanks
I just watched one of your videos from 2012! (The scruffy unshaven one lol). Gee you’ve really come a long way!!
my favorite thing to do is, fill the inlays with epoxy resin. You can literally do any type of color, add stuff in it and when it dries, it turns out real nice. saves from cutting those thin strips too :)
DIY WoodWorking TV how to you clean the top once the resin is cured? I have some some wood Inlay before and cleaned them up in my planer.
Great video sir!
Yesss!! Another upload appreciate it Steve.
Very informative. Thank you.
Nice work!!
I wanted to do this, this video is very intimidating.
Thanks Steve. I deathly afraid of the table saw, but it think i can do this with a router. I might cut the strip first and then size the groove up according to that.

Great explanation for simple fancy inlays! 👍
When to cut a thin piece off. ,,is it better keep the cut off side against the fence side???
Top seu trabalho

What do you do if your inlay is a hard wood but the surface is a soft wood? If it's slightly above the surface, when you sand it down I'd expect that you'll also sand down the soft wood more and retain an undesirable bump.
You did a fine job, learned, we do it by traditional techniques
If you had an Incra Fence you would not have to do all that tapping!🤣🛫 it is nice to see your videos again.

Dude, your hair is fire!
