    Default Making and Casting a Dragon

    I am putting this here especially for those who cast, Jeff Powell of IAP does some amazing work and it would be worth getting the magazine " I will have to ask my local shop to get it in, I think it is the October Issue he is talking about. Amos QUOTE" I really should toot my own horn !!! Of course none of this would ever have been possible without the bounty of knowledge from the IAP and then my own personal experimentation's on the product because of you people. This month's Creative Woodworks and Crafts magazine contains an article where I scroll and cast an intarsia dragon. So if ya'll are floating by a new stand waiting for the wife to buy grocieries or something like that, be sure and take a peak! It may not be on the new stands until next week, but it is arriving right now if you are a subscriber. I have my copy ready for framing "END QUOTE

    Wow nice,

    I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Been a long time since I've done any Intarsia though...

    No wonder they call him a Master Scroller, I have no idea what is involved with Intarsia, but just can tel it requires patience and skill. Amos

    intarsia is well beyond my meager talents thats for sure

    i did notice in the article from the Sept issue that he scrolls out a design and then he says he fills it with epoxy

    question - what sort of epoxy, to me epoxy is a glue, does anyone know what sort of epoxy he uses, things are named differently in the US compared to here

    i was thinking about scrolling a name into the side of a pencil and filling it

    Intarsia is surprisingly not that difficult to do, although like all things, to do it well takes lots of practice. You do however need the patience of job, the perseverance of a tupperware sales lady, and the organisation skills of filing clerk. Cutting, shaping and keeping track of hundreds of pieces of randomly shaped and coloured wood is not for the feint of heart.

    I do believe Aluminite is a preferred option. Amos
