I will be trying to make these soon and am looking forward to the inlay slicer. One comment on the edge tool. It is not set up to score at a distance less than the width of your bottom inset. You will have need to score for an inlay pretty close to the edge. Looking at the picture of the Lie-Nielsen, it seems the bottom part of the diamond shape mortise is cut back some to allow the cutter to move closer to the fence and allow for a line to be cut in as little as 1/8" from the edge. I'm sure it is an easy correction, but I am not as clever as you and need to have an example in front of me. Please keep up the wonderful work. Rick Wonderful write-up.
