New Member - Hi

[Gary Morris]

I've just joined and thought I'd say Hi.

I would like to try Intarsia after seeing some amazing pieces on line and in a book I purchased. I've read numerous posts (elsewhere) on the web and am hooked. I just need a scroll saw.

I'm thinking of getting the Axminster awfs18, do you think this one would be ok? I've vacuumed the shed, cleaned the windows and purchased some hard wood offcuts. I intend to buy some plexiglass? (clear 1/8" plastic) to make patterns of the pieces first.

I'm off now.

regards
Gary

hI Gary and welcome to the forum - there are many intarsia experts on here, I'm sure some who are lurking in the background will be along to help you shortly.

Personally I only occasionally use the method where I wish to have a three dimensional inlay within a piece of furniture - The picture below being from the upstand on a hall table I completed for a client just before Christmas.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replys, Ill certainly be using them.
Dodge, your 'Robin and Holly' is beautiful, if I can achieve (eventually) something half as good I'll be well chuffed.

I read in my Intarsia book about a 'Light Box' so I'm off to the shed to concoct one

see you later
regards
Gary

Not in a million years mate. I don't need any more financial directors, lol.

It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know that I am depriving some woman of a perfectly good silly person !! #-o
