Video quality is EXCELLENT (sound is not too bad either). My favorite part of this video is with the DETAILS - something that most presentations lack (and thus tire & frustrate the audience).

Thank you for that video! I building an Urn for my wife's ashes who succumbed to cancer in March. I wanted to create an attractive inlay in the lid. I've done wood work for many years but it was almost all very simple stuff. I'm a 1st class machinist by trade, (retired), and specialized in precision milling. If I had to do this in steel, I'd have no problem, (assuming I had access to a vertical milling machine). However, wood milling is very different and many of the techniques are worlds apart. I have purchased a Router kit, (Dewalt 2.75 HP with 1/2" & 1/4" collets and additional plunge base). I also wound up buying an inexpensive router table, a large assortment of bits, a router guide bushing set, a number of various size dovetail and round-over bits, and a dovetail jig. It's kind of funny because my wife had insisted that I not buy any expensive Urns. In fact, she wanted me to get the least expensive, standard plastic urn provided by the funeral home. I objected but after a number of attempts to change her mind, I agreed. I told her I would make one that would house her and our dear pet cat who died about 5 years ago. At this point I spent at least twice as much as I would have, had I bought an 'expensive urn', LOL. I'm sure I'll find other uses for the router tools so I can argue the justification from that POV. Anyway, I thought it would be easier to route a large rectangular shape (1/4" deep), into the lid of the urn using a router table. I was initially thinking of setting up a set of straight edge guides that would stop the lid as I moved it over a 2" facing bit to remove the material inside the inlay area. Of course, I would change to a smaller bit to achieve the 1/4" radius in the four corners. Please understand that I hadn't gone into any serious considerations regarding the logistics of doing it that way. Now that I'm a little closer to that stage of the urn, I can see all kinds of problems with trying to cut that inlay on a router table and after seeing your video, the idea of doing it that way is completely "off the table", (pardon the pun). Now, it appears that I'd be better off doing the entire inlay job with a plunge router and bushing guides, coupled with a template as you show here. Your video has certainly given me a decent idea of what I need to do. I have plenty of 'practice stock' which I used a lot of when I taught myself how to cut the dovetail joints I completed for the main box body. I'm not in a huge hurry and it's a good thing because I can see I'll be doing things quite slowly as I go along. Thanks again, Rich

@@zactaubman365 Thank you. In fact, I actually completed it on April 23 2020, (less than a month ago). It turned out very nice but it isn't "perfect" if one looks too closely. My late wife insisted that I not buy an Urn, especially an expensive Urn. Well, I didn't, but after I added up the cost for a variety of tools and Jigs, (in addition to the wood for the urn and 'practice' wood I needed to use for the hand carved pieces and setting up the dovetail cuts), I spent more than $650, lol.

Hi Brian, I've watched many of your videos and have to say that you're a great teacher!I've learned a lot from watching you and I'm 75 so old dogs "can" learn new tricks! LOL I don't know (yet) if it will work with a wood inlay but I used to make sterling silver jewelry and cut my own cabochons for each setting I made.Before trying to fit a cabochon into a setting a long piece of dental floss is laid across the setting before fitting the stone.If the stone is too tight you hold one end of the dental floss while pulling up on the other end.This pulls the cabochon back out of the setting. This may work with a wood inlay?? Thanks for this and all of your videos! Tom

Template oversizing: Assuming the removable bushing on the router inlay kit is 9/16" and the router bit is 1/8", then the margin around the edge of the template is 7/32". I arrived at this number by subtracting the removable bushing diameter by the bit diameter (9/16" - 1/8" = 7/16") and then dividing that by 2 ( 7/16" / 2 = 7/32"). Note that this is a margin _around_ the template, so a 4" circle would require a template that is 4-7/16" in diameter ( 7/32" + 4" + 7/32")

Your son is adorable!:) Would it be easier with a router table or no?? Thanks again!
@BHavensWoodworker8 жыл бұрын
Any of the name brands should be good, but a small Porter Cable 690 would do the job. You do not need a lot of power for doing inlay. One big consideration for doing inlay, if you can afford it, is to get a plunge router or an extra plunge base. You can get away with doing inlay with a fixed base router, but it is really convenient to be able to plunge into the work. I have not seen router inlay done on a router table. I think I would prefer doing it by hand for better visibility.

Thanks - good, clear explanations. One question occurs to me. After routing the edge of the negative, would it make sense to switch from the inlay bit to a wider straight bit to clear out a large area such as the one you were demonstrating? Obviously nothing that would compromise the edges of a smaller or more intricate pattern, but only for wide areas.

@whozure9512 жыл бұрын
It hasn't happened to me yet but the 1/8 inch bits have a tendency to break, but Lee Valley has a guide kit that uses a 1/4 inch bit that cuts the same size as the 1/8 guide kit. I also use a DeWalt 611 plunge base router with a clear base and LED lights so I can see my progress. Using a full size router is overkill in my opinion.

@contessa.adella2 жыл бұрын
Brilliant..TY. I will just add…modern wood glue, like Titebond, is immensely strong. Try it…a pea sized blob between wood. Once dry, you just try pulling it apart by hand!!! So when fitting an inlay you really don’t need it slathered in thick gopping glue. You’ll get less or zero squeeze out, and save money, by using a small amount as appropriate. All wood channels apply glue like jelly on toast, then clamp it until 95% of it has oozed down the outside of the piece. My 0.02.

If the positive is not too proud and I only need to take off a little bit, then I will use a card scraper followed by sanding. But there are other options: drum sander, if you have one available; power sander (belt or random-orbit); hand plane, if one is handy with planes.
@TheSeancassady11 жыл бұрын
Nice clear video but I am still confused on how you match up the positive and negative with the use of the bushing spacer? You said to reinstall the spacer when preparing to cut the "negative" piece but won't this move the router bit in closer to the center thereby making the negative piece too tight to accept the positive piece? What am I missing here?
@PunkR0ckz0910 жыл бұрын
Actually, this is the way to go (reinstalling the bushing). Take for example a 4x4 square (that you cutout as your template). If you route the positive piece without the bushing and with the 1/8 bit, you will be cutting a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 square because you remove an 1/8 on each side of the square. If you try to route the negative with the same piece you will actually be cutting out a 4x4 hole because the bit itself will follow the template that is why you need to reinstall the bushing that will allow the bit to shift to the center of the template an 1/8 of an inch to make it "perfect"... hope you understand Annony Mouse :-)
@PKriger9 жыл бұрын
Annony Mouse What you wrote seems to make sense, but remember that when cutting the "positive" the bit will cut on the "inside of the bit" thus closer to the developing positive profile (making this piece smaller by the diameter of the bit) and further away from the template (the template is a negative too). When cutting the negative, the bit cuts to the "outside of the bit" making this cut-out bigger...too big, unless you re-install the bushing.
