Wow, I'm really late to the party. (7 yrs.) Very nice work and I appreciate your time that it took to make this.
Thank you I just built a les paul kit guitar and I want to do a design on the head stock..
You inspired me
I can always tell its a Canadian Vid when I se Le Page glue - nice job
Wow! Thanks so much for your video - very helpful with learning inlay. 🌟 Much appreciated! 🌟
Beautiful work 👍😎👍
This is great. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome work!!.
Great video. Really nice work.Thanks
That’s really cool thanks for sharing your video
Awesome work Mike, thanks for sharing this
Nice job! Not being in a well appointed shop made this video very approachable. I felt like with a few router bits, an inlay, and some stuff I have in my cupboard I’d be in business. Thanks!
you are so welcome, what a nice comment, thank you very much!
Nice job, I just started doing semi advanced inlay work on my guitars there is a learning curve for sure.
Man, the final result! This is great! Really good work! Slow standing up applause for you!
Thank you for your kind remark, I appreciate it very much
Real nice Michael! Very educational and well presented video! Best wishes.
Good job!
Grandioso
The flies know when you start filming.
Very nice, thank you
Awesome work and you get to be outside too!
Thanks Bilbo, it was nice to do on the porch of the cottage.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks
Incredible, always wondered how this was done! I don't have a coping saw but I do have a scroll saw -- would that be too aggressive to work with MoP or Abalone?
thank you
Beautiful work..I would like to have my guitar done on the fret board head stock and sound board..
Thanks Donny, appreciate your comments
Thanks for the video, really cool. When you set the router depth do you allow for the glue? Or does the final sanding adjust for the glue?
Hi Drew, the depth has the pearl proud, and for sure there is glue below, but much or most is pushed to the sides. thanks for watching and your question.
What kind of a router base are you using ? The base that came with my dremal tool is impossible to see inside for small detail work.
What bur, varnish & 5 mins. epoxy did you use?
what name, and type of router are you using?. Thanks
All I can say is wow, I don’t have the patience or the study had to do that,
You should drill a small diameter hole in your cutting board for file work. Better support for small pieces.
How type of glue did you use with wood sand ?
Ps: this ended up as the headstock vineer for a brazilian rosewood, and matching ebony fret board, honduras nexk, see :ua-cam.com/video/i7oan6goNuU/v-deo.html or a couple of others in process (same guitar) if you are interested Michael
Hi what call. With. One that’s shell 🐚 ??
dude your credit card!... I don't care to have your digits but someone will.
Thank you Suntan69, fact; most guitar makers are not good financial targets, as are the artists that I hang with, but I thank you for your advice... glad you watched the video.... Michael
That fly only wanted to add you a like... 😥
my ears hurt but its so beautiful
I build Mountain Dulcimers. A student of mine just bought a 35 year old dulcimer built by Richard and Denise Wilson. It has a beautiful Unicorn Pearl inset on the fingerboard. Is that by any chance your parents?
Hello James, nice thought, but I am afraid that would not have been my parents. All the best. Michael
Great video, I want to start making my own inlays. Newbie question: how would you go about taking what you just did and putting it on the guitar? You say it's a headstock veneer, so would you plane it super thin and glue? Does anyone route right on the actual guitar?
Thank you for the kind remarks, I did end up using that headstock blank, if you look at minute #11:00 you can see it in process:ua-cam.com/video/bWOVFrLhGbo/v-deo.html AND there is another at the final stage of the guitar: ua-cam.com/video/i7oan6goNuU/v-deo.html Thank for your interest, and good luck, it is fun...
@00:42 I ducked my head 😆
How do PRS and Ibanez do it to a 0 tolerance, I mean even with CNC machines it would appear very hard to do it as perfect as they do it?
machines all the way, and better filler perhaps to disguise any flaw... CNC is very accurate, thanks for watching. Michael
Question. I'm Learning how to play. Are Pearl Inlays Just for decoration or do they affect the sound of the guitar?
Decoration only
Decoration
Hello, Why not use an aerosol paint to mark the contours of the inlay, a little spray when it's in place?
Brilliant idea, might give that a try.
What for sawblate do you use! What thickness?
Hi Otto, the one large one is about 2 mil, and I have some I got from a dentist which are tapered and good for the sharper corners.
OK! Thanks for giving information! I also try that once when I have the right tool for it. Unfortunately, I can not get a little small milling machine. So I have to make one myself I think :-/. Have fun for your hobby :-). It's very great work - gratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of router and base are you using?
Dremel, the base came with it.
Thanks, man
Please see the final product, and listen to it (towards the end) if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/i7oan6goNuU/v-deo.html
Here is the start of the guitar that I put this headstock blank on: ua-cam.com/video/nk7gMt6oiC0/v-deo.html
Can I also use superglue for it? LG Cornelius
Hello Cornelius I expect so. The proven use with epoxy is the ability to hold the sawdust so well. Be interested to see how you make out? Thank you for watching. Michael
@@majorgunn I couldn't quite tell from the video, does the epoxy have the same problem as wood glue with darkening the sawdust, or does it hold the color pretty evenly?
is that REAL ivory? i thought any kind of ivory is illegal or so. where did you source those pieces? i need like 10x10", how much would such a piece will be?
He mentions in the video they're piano keys, so he pulled them off an old piano. You're not going to find a piece as big as 10" by 10" because any new ivory cannot be legally imported.
Piano keys is what I showed, How many broken down pianos have you seen, "otherwise go to a goodwill or antique shop and buy one of a bazillian carved pieces, no need to kill another elephant.
well, ivory in deed is legal in thailand and it's a legalized market, however it's prison to export it.
yawn, what is your contribution to our lives
what size router bit?
Hello Barbara, the bit is about 2 mil and I put a shaper taper that I got from a dentist for the last bit.
They can be purchased at Lee Valley in Canada, and probably other wood supply places, (for Dremels).
Good luck, Michael
Over the years, I have asked dentists for their old bits. I take them a medium sized jar with my name and phone number on the outside. I keep an address book and go around about once a month to empty out the jars. I have gotten thousands of used, but still very useable, grinding bits, FREE! Most are carbide, some are diamond. I show my appreciation by making them something personal for their office, or perhaps a couple of bottles of wine.
