This is the first intarsia video I have seen. I’m blown away! Amazing job! I watched half yesterday and went immediately to get a book of intarsia patterns. I know this will being my little scroll saw experience to a new level. And I agree 100% that it’s more shaping work than cutting. You really brought the magic out.
I haven't found one. McMaster Carr has an adaptor that will fit a 3/4' shaft and one can mill the other end down to a desired size. This might be a job for a local machine shop.
To be honest, some folks do it that way. But, I find that working from back to front results in less adjustment of pieces I've already shaped. When I work from front to back, I find that I'm not taking off enough wood or, in some cases to much wood. Then, when I shape the next layer, I have to reshape pieces to fit correctly. I tend to follow Judy Gale Roberts methods for shaping projects. You can see some of her methods on her website at intarsia.com.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and talent. You are a wonderful teacher and mentor. I’m new to intarsia and learned so much from watching your excellent video. I love your sanding bench. Wishing you continued success.
Here is the website for the sandpaper. Choose your grit here. I use 220 grit and 320 grit mostly. The sanding mop is for smoothing and easing edges. Don't use it for shaping. www.woodworkingshop.com/product/fs32100/ Here is the page for the arbor that fits the 5/8" shaft of the 8" slow peed grinder. O that page you'll see the links to the arbors that fit drill presses. That is what I use because of the drill chuck I have on my sander. It fits other tools as well as the mop arbor. www.woodworkingshop.com/product/cl10014/
I hate to be negative but I guess I will be. I was very excited to find this intarsia about doing the contouring, my biggest problem. You didn’t show sanding the log, branches, or how you decided how much to sand. Did you mark the arms in anyway to tell how much to sand? Then you have other parts sanded and on to the body without showing how. That’s what I wanted to see. I figured the rest would be the same so I left. You do have an impressive shop. Way beyond my few machines
Sorry - I missed that detail. I always start shaping the pieces furthest away first. So, the branch and log were shaped first. The branch is thinner than the log so it was first. The teddy sits on top of the log and his feet stick out proud of the log, so the log was second. Also, the chain saw has to be proud of the log. The bird is thicker than the branch. I hope this helps you a little.

Xellent tutorial, thanx
Just found you and I am in love!
On your bench grinder with the sanding mop. What size shaft and where did you get the drill chuck for the shaft? Thanks
¿Es necesario empezar el video ,mostrando el esmeril ,durante 2 minutos y algunos segundos ?
Good
I have a 3/4 spindle motor used with a grinder. Can I get an adapter to put a chuck on it like you have?
I haven't found one. McMaster Carr has an adaptor that will fit a 3/4' shaft and one can mill the other end down to a desired size. This might be a job for a local machine shop.
Why do you start with the furthest away? Why would you not start with the closest and then remove material as needed going farther back?

C'EST BIEN MAIS J'AIMERAIS AVOIR PLUS DE VIDÉO EN FRANÇAIS MERCI
Je vous remercie. Je suis désolé, mais je ne parle pas français. J'utilise Google translate pour ce message.
