Intarsia Videos

[tgiro]

I was tasked by a juried show to provide proof that I actually do the work on my intarsia projects from patterns to finished piece. With that in mind, I made these videos.

If you take the time to watch them, you'll quickly realize a couple of things

1- I'm not a practiced presenter
2- There was no script. I just taped the steps I take, making a piece, and stopped now and then to explain my processes.
3- No, I'm not nervous about being "on camera". I have familial tremor and it shows. Even though I talk too much.

These aren't really "how to" presentations - they are more of a "how I did it" type video. A couple of them are long, even after speeding up some of the repetitious parts. Again - they are, mostly, designed to satisfy a show jury that I actually do all my own work.

If someone does catch a couple of ideas on how they can do something differently to make a better intarsia piece, then that's great. I just hope I don't bore people too much.

Great Job! I am very jealous of your sanding setup.  

I really like that piece that you did the presentation on. The branch in particular stands out.
