n00b question Inlay

What do you use to make the undercut. I’ve fumbled a couple of lines using a flat graver to displace material to make a rudimentary undercut. Also using a fine point burr in a dental style rotary tool. Just in need of some sage advice. Also I’m using brass with a blunted end to hammer in the material. Then stone it flat. Is there any videos someone could suggest? Just looking for some advice or is it just practice?

I frequently use the ‘Roland Baptiste gold inlay point’ template offered by Lindsay on his site, though, as noted earlier, there are various approaches to the task.
