I am just getting started and I have a problem. We are going to be living and travelling in an RV in the near future and would like to do Intarsia while travelling. Weight and size is a factor for any equipment I will take. Other than a scroll saw, if you were travelling, what other portable equipment would you take? Are there multipurpose tools that can be made or purchased?

Re: Intarsia on the road
I made a sander with a flexdrum on it to sand walking sticks...would think it would be nice to have to sand the edges of your intarsia....used a evap. cooler motor, used the two speed (slow speed is best most times) and bought the flexdrum set for 35.00. I believe there is a picture of it on my picturetrail site.

One of the most versitile tools around is the rotary tool. It is light, easy to store and can be used for a multiple of purposes. With the proper attachements, you have a sander,router,drill press, carving tool .... and probably some I forgot.
In your case RVGeorge, I would think investing in a Dremel rotary tool would be a good choice of portable equipment.

by RolfI don't know how big this piece is normally, but to see this at this scale is absolutely stunning. I saw it on facebook and didn't realize that he is the one that we contributed blades to. It is hard enough to cut and fit Intarsia pieces when it is done by an individual having multiple people cut pieces...
