Mini Intarsia Challenge - Jim's Toucan - simple intarsia and tutorial - Page 2 - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

jim_mex · 08-26-2009, 03:17 AM

Hi Folks - well this cute little fellah certainly has an attraction ! Don't say I didn't tell you - everyone just loves a toucan!

@Janette - I've learnt after not taking enough photos of my 'snotty' candle WIP that the only way to do the slide show is to build it in parallel alongside the progress of the project. It also makes me look more closely at the photos and i spot the mistakes sooner - remember your comment in one of the challenges to stand back occasionally and look at things - well I'm learning! And if they look too bad I stand back about 100 yds!!!

@Tony - I did think about that idea but as its been taken by a million Irish pubs around the world I thought i'd give it a miss. And whilst you are not a Guinness guy I'll let you into a secret. I much prefer Murphys or McCaffertys !!!

@Enriqueta - I somehow thought the fish would bite on this one - LOL! Now do tell me one thing. Where do I buy 5" diameter magnets.

Oh silly me! you meant small 'touquies' - ROFLMAO

@Anne - I bet that kitchen looked great. Wonder if the smell of the Guinness had disappeared?

Ok guys I'll be answering private messages later on - including the one from Jerry - Hip Hip Hoorah!

Holy Moly Jim! This is just about the cutest little critter I've seen in a long time. I've been wanting to find a "beginner" type intarsia pattern to try and this just jumped up and said "me me me" lol!
