    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

    Thanks for the input. I am going to try it the way you suggest and see what I can do. I appreciate your time. Scott

    I am planning to try intarsia here this fall/winter. I have the beginners book by Judy Gale Roberts for reference. I see what she uses to help shape her pieces. I will not be able to afford each thing all at one time. I have a couple of electric motors ( one with dual shaft, so 3 shaft ends to work with) and plan to but a flex drum to fit one of these. I have a dremel tool also. What items do you use most on your projects? Sanding mop, certain Dremel bits, pneumatic vs. flex drum?? What would be the most key item or items to focus on first? Thanks for any advice you can give. Scott

    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

    Thanks for the tips. Center out probably would have helped. I appreciate 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
