I remember a while back finding a video of Jozsef Kozak doing pewter inlay on one of his duda. I can’t seem to find it… did anyone here happen to bookmark it? Otherwise have any ideas for other videos showing the same process? I’m building a flute right now that I plan to do full pewter inlay on but wanted to watch a video one more time before pouring anything.
It seems to have been removed.
On amateurbagpipemakers, the Yahoo site there is some description, with diagrams, in the files section.
It’s still there, just very hard to find:

I made a set of pipes with pewter inlay a couple of years ago, I didn’t know about that video and so I had to “re-invent the wheel” but interestingly enough that is exactly how I did it in the end.
Be prepared to make a lot of scrap, I was working in boxwood and had added problems of the heat causing warping and scrapped enough pieces to make a second set.
