how to add a strike plate

(1/1)

Squirrelslayer:
here is a step by step guide on how to inlay a strike plate.


start by marking around your strike plate then use a chizel to carefully remove wood from inside the line.


keep checking to see how the inlay fit's


fill the hole with some 5 min epoxy


then push the inlay into the hole.


then wrap it with tape, you could also use some string.


once dry remove tape/string and sand it with some 180 grit sandpaper until it is level with the wood. then rub it with some wire wool and add a polish.

That looks great!  I noticed the blue under your leather grip.  Is that another piece of leather underneath?  I like the contrast.
