[@teefrancis6005]

Beautiful work, well done. Kris Harbour recommended your channel, and I'm so pleased that I visited. I find that watching other people working creatively is very therapeutic!

[@GillisBjork]

Thank you for the visit! I'm glad to hear that!

[@KrisHarbour]

That is fantastic. seriously impressive mate. you should be getting more views. Im going to do a quick post on my community chat to tell some more people about your channel.

[@DutchVai]

Thanks for linking me to this channel Kris. Gillis you're a true artisan...... excellent work !!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Thanks Kris!

[@markschattefor6997]

Thank you Kris, Gillis has a new subscriber.

[@GillisBjork]

Wow thank you so much, Kris! I'm a huge fan of everything you do, your hard work is some of my biggest inspiration right now and your endorsement means a lot. Thanks man!

[@KrisHarbour]

@@GillisBjork Its always nice to hear that and im glad you are enjoying the videos. Im always impressed with your woodwork and honestly i think you should be getting a lot more attention on here. It really shows that you can do quality woodwork without having a huge workshop and big power tools.

[@jlinkels]

As a fellow woodworker I admire your work and the videos I have seen so far were amazing. Therefore I am sorry to say your videos without this disturbing background music were much better.

[@GillisBjork]

No need to be sorry! All input is appreciated.

[@keizerwoodworks]

8:04 that is some very interesting clamping

[@tomowens2720]

Gillis you may be getting a taste of this by now but I can assure you that your future will be very very busy. Your skills, art more aptly will be in popular demand for decades to come. The pieces you make will command a lot of attention and compensation. Enjoy it my friend. Stay true and pure to it. Another feast for my eyes. The Taipan

[@GillisBjork]

Thanks a lot Tom! That sure would be nice, I'll have to keep working towards that!

[@chrisharrell5945]

Your tip at 9:08 as simple as it was, I've never thought of. Great tip. I've only tinkered around with inlay on smaller projects and never struck out on something as large as your table there. This is going to be extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@gondebas]

4:42 That's the most amazing scroll saw I have ever seen. I am astonished by your solution.

[@giuseppedeepakbentihandtoo3809]

Amazing work 👍😄😄😄

[@paolo_galassi]

You managed to amaze me once again. So grateful you're sharing your footages in the tube. The leaves… the acorn… seem alive. I can smell the scent of the forest.

[@janolson9592]

absolutely beautiful! You are an amazing artist!

[@nicandkathy]

Never seen inlay done before like this. Really good. Will try it myself maybe starting with a simpler design though!! Many thanks

[@GillisBjork]

Thank you! A simpler design would probably have been a good idea hahah. Glad you'll give it a go!

[@taniamagicfingers1636]

Love your videos. Found you via Kris Habours channel. I can see why he likes your work. Love that you have made some of your own tools too.

[@GillisBjork]

Many thanks! Working with homemade tools is a great feeling :)

[@billsutherland7486]

Beautiful work!

[@brigetteanderson-atkins1128]

Beautiful. You have come so far in your woodworking. You are definitely inspiring me!!

[@GillisBjork]

Many thanks, Brigette! I love hearing about people being inspired, very happy you feel that way!

[@randsipe224]

I have done quite a bit of this type of inlay using a specialized router with fine down cut spiral bits. Doing it by hand requires incredible patience. I have tried it your way with limited success. And it’s very time consuming.

[@jimscheltens2647]

Thanks for the detailed inlay segment. I’ve down inlay with straight lines and will attempt my first curved inlay soon. I use a power router for the interior of the field to be removed, hand tools as you did for the boarders.

[@GillisBjork]

Awesome!

[@VinceEspositoJr]

Recently attended an inlay class where we used these for glue application - Monoject Curved 412 Tip Syringes 12 Cc. You might find them useful for future projects. All the best.

[@GillisBjork]

A syringe sounds like a good idea, thanks for the tip

[@jayt9882]

This is beautiful work, you are incredibly talented and I'm so glad too that Kris linked to it. When KZbin turns back on my ability to subscribe (I've sent feedback again, wish I knew what keeps happening!) I'd be delighted to sub and watch your other videos. I'll save a few for now to 'watch later'. Hope all goes brilliantly - am sure it will. :)

[@GillisBjork]

Many thanks! Don't worry about the subscribing, I'm sure it'll get fixed for you but I'm just happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@jayt9882]

@@GillisBjork You're more than welcome! Success... patience paid off and am now subbed. All the best :)

[@keithdavison5578]

Beautiful what scill you have well done

[@MrHIGHGUY99]

Hey Gillis. Just subscribed and love the work. Can you tell the name og the tool you are using at 8.13? Best regards - Benjamin

[@GillisBjork]

Thank you very much, Benjamin! That's an old type of router plane. There are also metal ones with more functionality, and you can make a super simple version by drilling a hole at 45 degrees through a block of wood and shoving a chisel through.

[@shaunmellor6085]

What is that super narrow plain you used called?

[@jimscheltens2647]

Did you take the inlay parts right from the fret saw, or did you do some sanding after the sawing out?

[@GillisBjork]

Mostly right from the saw, some spots I took a sliver off with a chisel. And a few strokes of sanding to break the edge that goes into the cavity.

[@jacobolsson1405]

Ambidexstrocicity I believe it's called

[@GillisBjork]

Sounds about right
