Hello from Maine
« on: January 11, 2015, 10:11:43 am »
Hello. My name is Tom and, like many of you, I am addicted to woodworking.

I am a 63 year old remodeling contractor with a love of woodworking and a shop full of scraps.
I've just recently tried my first Intarsia piece and want to learn more about it by watching and learning from those of you who've been doing this with success.

I did my first piece with a bandsaw and had to be extremely careful when I got to the tiny pieces.
I went on Craigslist and bought a cheap Delta scroll saw and had better and safer results.

This is a picture of my first piece.

I'm looking forward to being a part of this forum

Happily making dust,
Tom

Glad you are joining us. Paul here from Washington State.   Very nice piece especially considering you cut out the little pieces on a band saw.

Welcome to the forum family Tom.  I am Al from TN.  I don't do intarsia but if I decide to try it, I hope my first attempt looks as good as yours.  Great job on that piece.
