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.

THe plans were designed for 1/2...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Reply to I've been AWOL for too long...by Jim McDonaldFor you and hotshot , remember to hide notes, chicken bones or beer cans in the stud cavities for the next remodeler to find.
I am partial to the folks who hide plastic skeletons in dead spaces under stairs, etc.-

by EnnobeeMy wife fell in love with the shamrock cross pattern in the spring issue of SS&W. So I had to make her one as soon as I found the time. Off course, not being able to leave a good pattern alone, I decided to turn it into a segmentation using some real hard broken pallet wood I 'disposed off' at work....You do not have permission to view this gallery.
