Of course you solder it outside. Soldering copper is also called hard-soldering because you need higher temperatures to do it. You can do it pretty accurate and have some sanding/polishing to do.
@nicolagregson60549 жыл бұрын
onpsxmember yes but on a piece like that with extremely fine lines would leave no room for error, you'd also run the risk of scorching the wood with the soldering iron, totally ruining it. I'd say it would be a better idea to ensure the wire inlays meet up perfectly before setting them.

I did my first copper wire inlay to a piece of black walnut and it came out pretty good. I do understand the gaps in the copper wire inlay. when you sand the piece of wood you have to be careful or you will sand the wire to thin in places and it will break off and there you have the gaps. I used 18 gauge copper wire that I purchased at Home Depot and I flattened the wire with a Pepe Tools rolling mill.

1. Sand it with an orbital or face down on a stationary sanding sheet backed with flat level sheet of plexiglas or cement board. 2. Coat it with clear epoxy resin, like for a bar top, instead of Tung oil. Epoxy will leave a smooth finish, not the rough and snaggy one. I also am interested in Neil Bradley's suggestion to use a metal hammer but you'd want to experiment first to see how that works out. You want to be careful not leave elephant feet marks in the wood from the hammer. Interesting video.
@ScooterFXRS2 жыл бұрын
While I too would have used a faster, flatter mechanical means of leveling off the inlay to the wood then finish sanding and polishing the inlay and wood. No, pure tung oil nor the manufactured "tung oil" wipe on is not going to do much for the inlay but is Not going to leave a "rough and snaggy" finish. You get that result you need to back up and redo your finish sanding. Epoxy, meh, it has it's place but over time and subjected to sunlight will yellow and turn opaque over time. Much better to use pure tung oil or even linseed oil then use a clear finish of your choice AFTER the oil has polymerized. Hammers; 90% of every guy I have come across thinks he is black smithing and beating carbon into steel. "Tippy, tap, tap" as AVE would say. This person used a urethane hammer to prevent deformation of the copper inlay and quite frankly is the wiser choice for as soft as cooper is.
@kenthartland85812 жыл бұрын
I know this thread is aging but I do want to say that while some resins may yellow over time, others won't. Do some research into epoxies, polyester and urethane (water and oil based) resins to get one that won't yellow. Generally, the longer the resin takes to harden, the tougher it is. Also understand it's UV resistance if that is a concern. But for this cool little wire inlay project, I doubt if yellowing or UV is a big deal. Like I said four years ago, neat project, great video and thanks for posting it.

@wildrangeringreen2 жыл бұрын
looks good, just a few gaps here and there (wouldn't look bad from 5 feet). Don't normally use glue with wire inlay like this, but I feel your "knife" was too wide for your wire. With wire, you essentially slit the wood, and wedge the wire in. The tension from the grain trying to spring back holds the wire in and once you oil up the wood, that inlay is held in there tight. That being said, at least on this wood, the glue didn't seem to discolor it once oil was applied, so it did work well, fast setting CA glue?

Can be solved by using an actual metal hammer to hammer the wire in, This may also make the use of glue unnecessary, tapping the wire into the crevice repeatedly will make it expand to fill gaps, which in turn will create a mechanical bond.

I have a problem when I do inlays into light coloured woods, once I get to the final sanding with fine sand paper, the metal dust stains the wood. The only way I can "clean" the wood is by sanding it down which besides ruining the leveled surface I acquired by sanding the whole piece face down on a flat surface, is impossible to do in intrincate designs without touching the metal (which would get me back to square one). Is there any way to avoid staining the wood when sanding? Or at least a way of cleaning it? I've tried several solvents and brushes but without luck.

it takes a lot more time but you can also do it the old way...make the initial groove as wide as the wire and half the depth then make the bottom a bit wider then the top of the groove...little bit of a dovetail or undercut.....then use a bit more force when you hammer down on the wire...copper silver and gold are soft and will deform enough to "lock" into the groove then file and sand flat...no need for the superglue but takes longer and have to be really careful if its a softer wood
