Hi all,

This is how I am installing my Ram Head inlay. If there is an easier way, someone tell me since this takes a lot of time. First I layed out the head on the deck and then rough routed it out and finished with sandpaper and files. Next I layed a walnut strip over a section of a cutout and traced onto it from the underside. Then I sand it very carefully on the sander drill you see in the picture. I put a light under the cutout as I am fitting so I can see to get an exact fit. I sand a slight taper on my inlay and when it drops half way down into the cutout I apply glue and tap it down tight with a mallet. If you try this remember the sander is going down on one side and up on the other and so you have to get this into you mind when you touch you piece to the disk so you don't get suprised. And watch your fingers.
