I'm just getting started in Intarsia ans have what maybe a elementary question. Who uses cut & paste and who traces the pattern on the wood--different schools of thought. I have tried both but my tracing ability leaves a lot to be desired. cut and paste seems to work okay. maybe it's just i need more time doing it to get it right for me--just don't know which way to go--Richard aka thumbs
-
I use the "Trace" method only I trace onto "Tracing Paper" and fasten it to the wood.
I'll send you the same email I sent another member of this forum yesterday, answering the same question, explaining the method I use.

Al, could you send me an email to?

Al, talk about a bolt of lightning hitting you--those are great instructions and make all the sense in the world. It solves a lot of questions about fitting pieces together.I have several pads of tracing paper so off I go--thanks so much for the info- It sure beats making 5-6 copies of the pattern--Richard aka thumbs

Al, I would like an e-mail to please. :)

Hey Al, why not post it here so all can see? Or maybe post a link.

Hi Al, There must be a reason you didn't post it, but I, too, would like the e-mail. I would love to know your secret. julief36@yahoo.com I strugle with it sometimes. That is why I have only done a few intarsias.

For Dan (dgman)
I am not a technical writer and what I put together was, in my estimation, a hurried and crude answer to the question that was asked. If I had known I was going to post it in the forum I would have spent more time developing it.
And, my not posting it on the forum has nothing to do with it being a secret as alluded to in another post!
Some of the greatest joy I get out of making Intarsias is sharing what knowledge I?ve acquired over the past eighteen years with others. I have received several requests, other than the ones posted, and really appreciate the feedback I've received.
Thanks, Al

I didn't think it was a secret - I just thought it might be lengthy or complicated. I believe it is your work that I have seen in magazines and if it is - the instructions you give are easy to follow. I have long admired the talent you have for selecting the wood and grain direction to put your pieces together. I came across the "oh so full" pattern in a past magazine the other day and might just give it a try.
-
Al, Thanks for the email!
easy to follow instructions and pictures that speak for them selfs.
-
Al, I have completed one and working on an other and based on the responses to your e-mailed instructions, I believe I could definitely benefit from those instructions - please send me a copy of that e-mail!
Thank you,
Pieter

I use the cut and paste method and it costs a fortune in ink or photocopies so I would appreciate receiving your tracing paper method.
My email is bjpinsonneault@gmail.com
