I have never made any of these projects for sale... only as gifts. People would probably be unwilling to pay for the time it takes to make these. :-) Thank you for your comment. It is much appreciated! Please subscribe to my channel where you will find many more projects of interest. Ron

This is a 13+ minute video with an average view time of just under 5 minutes (which is pretty good statistically). People in general have a relatively short attention span and making a longer video only results in more of the video not being watched. Having shown all the steps to make these, with the exception of showing all the small pieces being made on the scroll saw or the actual application of glue, if someone cannot take the ball and run with this or a similar project… it probably would not help them anyway. I have many videos showing how to cut project pieces on a scroll saw. Thanks for watching! Ron

+Justin H I used 120 and then 220 then buffed with the dry felt wheels and they felt pretty smooth and I did not see any more scratches in them. The one frog you can see is shinier the the others and on that one I played around with some finer grit and the 3M wheels. If I am only making one piece I will probably get them smooth as glass but with so many pieces I got tired of working on them (old hands and fingers syndrome). With the mineral oil they feel really nice and smooth and when applying the oil, if a scratch appears I go ahead and sand it wet with 220 and wipe on a little more oil. Actually, you can mix a little paraffin into heated mineral oil. They often use that mixture on kids toys. I forgot about it otherwise I could have tried it on these.

Actually that is a good question and one I haven’t thought about being a problem for someone as I just go out in the shop and cut whatever I need. Someone who does wood intarsia will have stack of boards, table saw, band saw, plainer, sander, etc. to prepare whatever thickness wood they require for a particular project. Obviously it would be cheaper if you could prepare your own wood or have a woodworking friend. Otherwise, look around your area for a hardwood or exotic wood supplier. They tend to sell large boards but some also sell thin boards for arts & crafts or (for a price) will cut whatever you want. Search the Internet for “Intarsia wood suppliers”. I found one ocoochhardwoods.com/ which offers quite a selection (Note: I have never purchased anything from them). Look around for others. Another possibility is National Balsa www.nationalbalsa.com I purchased some thin wood from them when I was building my street organ and it was good quality. I notice you are in Canada. Try to source your material in Canada, as shipping cost across the border tends to be prohibitively expensive. Kathy Wise or Judy Gale Roberts are Intarsia artists with countless designs. Kathy Wise has a great website with information on how to get started and she has workshops (possibly expensive). You will have to look around for small pieces of 1/8” or 1/4” Baltic Birch Plywood as it comes in 5 ft x 5 ft sheets. For common wood such as maple, oak, ash, poplar, walnut a local carpenter shop may have cutoffs from a project and (if cooperative) may prep them to your desired thickness. Hope that helps.

Ron, you are not paying attention. Magazine details are clearly given in the opening shots of the video... and... in the video description. Thanks for watching. Ron

The following video shows the process. Wood Branding ''Hand Crafted By'' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMlxir2Ysa_eh4E.html Look around on my channel. There are a couple more videos that show branding, including branding plastic. Please subscribe. That's what keeps this channel going! Ron

Back issues of the magazine are available from woodstore.net or the article is available as a digital download. " Keepsake Intarsia Boxes Woodworking Plan " www.woodstore.net/Keepsake-Intarsia-Boxes-p/gr-00539a.htm

@@RonaldWalters2010 I can't find my country which is Spain in the form to be able to buy the plans.

OK... I looked into this and I called Woodstore.net. For various reasons they cannot ship paper plans into the EU Countries and because of the way their website program works, that also prevents the digital downloads. Possibly you have a friend in another country which is on the list, who can purchase this for you and then send the plans to you via an email attachment. Hope that helps. Ron

I do not have a record of the blade used. Flying Dutchman Scroll Saw Blades I use a lot of Scroll Reverse FD-SR No.5 - 5” x 0.037 x 0.015 13 TPI / 7 Rev Teeth and I use Ultra Reverse FD-UP No. 5 - 5” x 0.037 x 0.015 15 TPI / every 3rd tooth reversed Basically, you need to find a blade that works for you for the thickness and type material you are working with. That requires some experimentation on your part. Thanks for watching. Please Subscribe. That is what keeps this channel running. Ron

Sorry, I do not sell these. Just showing others how to make them.

Alright, thank you for replying!

Sorry, the plans are not mine to give. You need to obtain a copy of the magazine.
