Dusty Trucker Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hello everyone. My name is Brandon, and i am a brandnew scroller. I got my saw which is a jet 22in about a week ago for what i thought was a smoken deal. It is used but it looks like there was not many hours on it. I want to change that! Some of my first memories in my grandpas workshop were when i was 8 or so and scrolling is what i would do. So i guess its kind of a nostalgic thing for me. I really want to get into intarsia. But i know for right now i just need to focus on the basics. Im still trying to get up to speed on the forum thing and how everything works here. This is the first community ive ever joined. So thank you for having me! amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Brandon and welcome to the Village. Glad to have you joining in. Once you learn the basics of cutting on a pattern line, don’t be afraid to find some basic Intarsia patterns and give it a go. Judy Gale Roberts is one of the preeminent Intarsia Artist. She has a lot of good information and some free patterns on her website. You can find it here: https://intarsia.com/ Make sure you checkout her articles as well. Kathy Wise is another one, you can find some additional info, and a few free pattern on her site here: https://store7626357.ecwid.com/?redirect=false#!/FREE-PATTERNS/c/31408046 Both Judy and Kathy have great books on learning Intarsia as well. https://www.amazon.com/Judy-Gale-Roberts/e/B000APDNFY?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_6&qid=1568580479&sr=1-6 and https://www.amazon.com/Kathy-Wise/e/B001JS37BQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1568580479&sr=1-1 then Bruce Worthington has a great tutorial with a Teddy Bear on his site here: http://intarsia.net/ and he makes great patterns found here: http://intarsia.hostcentric.com/home/homepage/ Plenty of others, but that should get you started with some of the best. Another source is the Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts Magazine. It is great for beginners and has lots of ideas and patterns each issue, including Intarsia. You can find some free patterns on their site here: https://scrollsawer.com/ and their free Scroll Saw patterns (not just Intarsia) here: https://scrollsawer.com/category/patterns/ And, finally, if you are not familiar with Steve Good and his blog, it is well worth a perusing at your leisure. He posts a free scroll saw pattern almost daily and often gives good reviews and information. It is worth looking back through his site as time permits to glean the knowledge he has shared.

heppnerguy Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Brandon, I too want to give you a big welcome to our world wide family. You picked a great place to log into as there are a lot of scrollers here that love to share photos of their work as well as lend a helping hand with their knowledge and skills. You can request a pattern be made for you at no cost or simply jump into the pattern forum and you should find all kinds of pattern you can download and give a try to. So log on often, post your questions and projects and if you do this often you will soon feel like you have known the regulars all you life. From sunny and warm Southern Arizona, Dick heppnerguy Dusty Trucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
