    Be careful and do some checking on this. Heard alot of negative about it. Don't really know too much about it. Always thought it seemed too good to be true. Do some checking and decide for yourself. Here is one review I looked at. http://www.gosureviews.com/teds-woodworking-review-scam-alert/ Here is a woodworking For Mere Mortals take also. http://www.woodworkingformeremortals.com/2012/04/teds-woodworking-fraud.html

    Thank you everyone. I appreciate the positive remarks. Just about finished with a robin intarsia.

    Pretty new to intarsia and I am really liking it a whole lot. Still a lot to learn, but i could get hooked on this.Would appreciate any suggestions for improvement from those with more experience.

    didn't have time to view the video, but i thought of holes in the base for pins made of dowel and wedges that can be pulled and moved easily

    A product called Inlace is available here and offers different coilors and textures than the clay. http://woodworker.com/fullpres.asp?PARTNUM=146-669&LARGEVIEW=ON

    Impressive. Like the color choices and all the contrast that highlights the details. Scott

    Thank you for all the replies. I think a combination of several of the things mentioned by all of you led to the problem. I'm working on simpler designs for now regaining my abilities as suggested. My cutting seems to improve with each project. Thanks again for the help. Scott

    I have recently returned to scrolling after about 15 years away. I tried to do a pattern from SSW&C of a Santa and reindeer picture with alot of closely spaced cuts to create the detail. I stacked 4 layers of 1/8 baltic birch. It broke 3 of the 4 layers across one of the areas that was only about 1/16 wide between cuts. Will the box tape support enough? What techniques do you all use to stop the project getting ruined? There were alot of parallel cuts with only 1/16-1/8 spacing and they ran an inch or so into the project. Backing out was where it mgrabbed and broke. Now I imagine that the biggest problem is the Craftsman 16inch variable speed saw I have from the old days. It has some vibration that I'm trying to find the best way to dampen it. I imagine the vibration of this saw as compared to a better one is huge, but for now its all I have. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks much, Scott
