- In this video Allen Newberry J.S. will show us how he inlays fine silver into wood. This is a fun technique for embellishing knife handles and black powder rifle stocks.

I have to say, you make that look so very easy.
I tried it for the first time a week ago and took me forever to make even a large curve. Thanks for making the video!
It is a pretty simple idea. But, it sure can be tricky sometimes.
I bought some German Silver wire from Dixie Gun Works 30 years ago. I still haven't used it. Always thought I'd learn how someday. This video helped.
Uncle Bucks Forge get a scrap piece of maple and some exacto knives and give it a whirl. It is pretty fun.
Great tutorial. I feel confident that I can do this, thankyou!
Nice work on the blade as well as the inlays. Joe is an amazing craftsman to learn from. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Great video, clear and precise.
A pleasure to watch!
Pablo Ramírez Díaz Thanks!
Great job. Simple and easy to follow
Stuart Smith Thanks! My videos are improving. I’ve still got a ways to go, but I keep figuring out more of the CZcams process.
Very nice Allen! I enjoyed every bit of it and learned something new today
James Carlyle Glad you liked it. Silver wire is pretty fun. Plus, it will be handy if you ever decide to do some of Moran’s knives.
Excellent job demonstrating how it's done, it was very easy to follow. The overall knife it great. I've had a soft spot for brute de forge knives for a number of years now, especially when forged in damascus. That walnut is gorgeous too, it looks as great as the incredible Missouri walnut that Don Hanson uses so often on his saw mill line of knives. Anyway, Thanks for sharing another great video.
lsubslimed thanks for the kind words. I have liked the Brut de Forge style Knives ever since I took the ABS Handles and Guards class with Joe Kesslar as the instructor about seven years ago. I definitely enjoyed that week.
Fast and easy, no hocus-pocus. Thanks for the tutorial, very informative
Thanks!
i like your wooden hand tools, thank you for the video, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
Thanks
Great craftsmanship, thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you for a great video
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Started a wood ring I wanted to do this, video was a major help
I’m glad that you found the video helpful.
Beautiful knife!
Thank you!
Great job & great tutorial vid. Namaste. 🙏
Thanks Destiny!
Looks good and thanks for the tips. I’m about to have a go at it! Wish me luck!
Have fun!
It turned out okay for my first time. I watched a few more videos that have a few other details on the stabbing that helped too. Gotta love CZcams!
👍
Awesome!!👍👍💪💪
BTW I love your intro to your video!
Thanks!
Parabéns pelo trabalho de vocês grandes obras de arte ! Aqui de Manaus AM Brasil
Obrigado!
Thanks for Your video!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this video! I AM GOING to do this in the near future. So simply swelling the wood is enough to secure the wire? I saw another video where they used CA glue to hold it in place. I like to stay away from CA glue because invariably my fingers become part of the project.
Eric Cartrette when done correctly it will stay. You aren’t removing any wood. So, when it swells back to its original position it is pretty tight. Also, if you use ca and you intend to stain the handle it will resist staining where the glue is.
Where can I finx tools and wire for inlay?
Thank you so much for the video. This is a thing I have wanted to do for a while and just haven't tried yet. What gauge wire were you using and was it full flat or half flat? And lastly, I love the brut De forge style, when left to my own devices, I will usually default to making a "blacksmith" knife in that style.
Bjorn Ronaldson the wire is flat. The sizes that I have seen recommended are .008 X .055 and .013 X .055. I am using the thinner wire.
Beautiful work. I’d like to inlay check marks on the length of wooden sticks, they vary from very thin at the ends to wider at the center. Any ideas how to inlay something like that. Thank you.
I would recommend trying it out on a scrap that is shaped similarly and ideally made from the same wood.
Great video! Can you share any links about making the modified x-acto blades?
Here is a link to an article by Joe Keeslar. It also includes some videos: www.blademag.com/knifemaking/silver-wire-inlays-the-keeslar-method-pt-1
I'm interested in the process. Where do you get the tools and the wire to practice and learn. There does not seem to be many outlets.
Hagstoz.com for the wire I have a video on making the tools.
Could we make silver wire inlay into african blackwood?
Did you think about coating the wire in something like two-part epoxy just so it won't pop out if/when the wood flexes with age and dries? I'd be worried the wire would pop out.
It stays in well in walnut and curly maple. There are muskets still holding onto their wire. But, if you do something like Blackwood you might need a glue. I just stick with the maple and walnut.
Have you eaver done a rifle shape in a knife handel I think it would look cool
I have not.
Where do you get the wire from? Great work!
Hagstoz.com
Bad ass!!! I’ve seen also where the inlay was sealed with CA glue what are your thoughts?
I haven’t ever tried it. It might be needed on some woods. I plan on sticking with maple and walnut.
I know its a year late, but on some materials its necessary, namely bone, horn and stabilized/resin impregnated woods, usually natural woods that are able to expand and contract dont really need it but its not an awful idea if in areas where the humidity and temperature can swing wildly, since if the wood changes a little and a corner of the wire can catch and poke out it can be a chain reaction where more peels out of the work. Hope this helps, my work doesnt hold a candle to this video but maybe it helped shine some light on it
Emily Harper - Even if your work doesn’t hold a candle to his your knowledge does and it outshines his. Keep practicing and you’ll get even better. Hopefully you never become as pretentious though.
Is There any you have to do to the blades. to get the desire head
Thank you
Yes. I do reshape the exacto blades.
What is the dimensions of the flat wire you are using?
Here are the two most popular sizes. 008″ x .055″
.013″ x .055″
Is the glass table required too?
It is not.
Thanks for the video! Whenever you see a piece like that you try to wrap your head around what the process was, I'll trying to record videos in order to give back for all the things I've learned and will definitely try it this year! :D If I video it would you mind if I uploaded it if I credit and link to you?
That is fine with me. Hope it works out well for you.
@@AllenNewberry thanks! :D and thanks for sharing! :D
Where can I find these tools?
Mainly make them yourself. Although, I have seen Joe Keeslar M.S. sell them occasionally. Also, in one of my videos I discuss a way to make them that is relatively easy.
Where can I get the jeweler handles
Jewelry supply places like Rio Grande, ebay, amazon.
Graver handle is the term to look up.
Do you have a template for that knife ?
I do not. I just made it about how long I thought I could make it given the size of the Damascus billet.
bold of you to do this on a glass table.
It is mostly just little taps. But, it might not be the ideal place to do such activities long term.
Can you tell us where you get your wire and what the specs are?
Hagstoz.com
Here are the two thicknesses that I generally use:
.008in x .055in 0.03 half hard
.013in x .055in 0.05 dead soft
@@AllenNewberry Thank you so much for that. Can you tell me where you source your material? I'm having a hard time finding wire (though I did purchase a wire mill)
I see a lot of people use superglue.... you don't use that at all?
I do not use glue. But, I also generally limit my woods mostly to curly maple and walnut which work well with this process.
OMG that background guitar is SO distracting not to say irritating!
