how I solder inlay

(1/4) > >>

aprilheadhunter:
I started with a piece of maple from my front yard. 


This is the solder I use.


It is 1/8" wide.


I cut the groove with a 1/16" parting tool and make test fits until the solder is just a little wider than the groove.


This is how I measure the length.  Just wrap it around the call and rub the end on the solder to mark it.


Here it is cut just a little to long.


This is just right.


I marked the piece of wood to show where the seam will be with gray, to keep the glue from messing up the solder joint I do not put any glue in between the two black lines.  I don't put any between the two black lines but some will seep in to the area.


Now for the soldering iron.


This is what the joint looks like when I'm done.



Now its time to turn the solder down.


This is what it looks like when your done.

Truly Custom Calls:
Well done Paul.  I like that your method doesn't involve a bunch of hammering and filing!  Thanks for the tips.
