Please don’t be too critical on this one. This was my first video and also my first attempt to inset an inlay. I had a lot of hours in this table and was very nervous. You may ask, “Why the inlay”. I just wanted an accent.

Look out David Marks. You’ll be on DIY before you know it. That was a very instructional video, Skip. I’m lining everything up to start doing inlay, so I appreciate the time you put into this. Thanks for the post.

I really appreciate you posting this video. You demystified the inlay process for me. I am going to keep this idea for a suitable project. Well done.

I am also going to have to experiment with my video camera and see if I can record some of my stuff…eventually I’ll be good enough to show people:-) what I do!

That was great!
I’m getting ready to start my first inlay so that was a good lesson. I hope mine comes out as good.
Thanks for taking the time to show us.

Skip,

Thanks for posting the video. I found it informative and you documented the process well. You have provided enough instruction and incentive that I am going to try and tackle an inlay.

Well done.

Skip – that was terrific. Thanks for taking the time to present it and describing the process so well. I held my breath while you excavated with the router – how the heck could you see where you were going?

Skip,

The videos are great. I am glad that you are posting over here now. I would not abandon your site, that is a part of who you are on the internet. But you are going to get help with the exposure over here. I have a site and many others have sites too.

The videos are clean and your personality in the shop is pleasant. I hope to see you make more videos and I think the others will too.
