Thank you so much for a very interesting tutorial, and especially showing how to deal with errors. As a beginner that is invaluable !! Much appreciated.
that was my favorite 1st one I ever saw over 20 years ago that lighthouse, the man had a dining table he made Intarsia scene, have looked for it everywhere. got to where you are gluing the pieces together, what kind of glue? Good thing no one is YELLING MOM, MOM, MOM or other distractions/time stealers for attention with using those tools.
You've done a masterful job of describing something I've been into for years, and very few people know about. It's a beautiful piece. I know how many hours go into making even a simple project, and you make it sound easy. That was not a simple project. The best part of the whole video was seeing you work in that gorgeous shop I've watched you build, sir.
+Larry Aubry Thank you. It was a special project, beside being Renée's christmas gift it was the first "real" project I did in my new shop, So it will always have a special place in my heart.
I really enjoy your videos. Your projects are always interesting and you manage to fit a lot of useful information into a relatively short time frame. I can't wait to try and build something like this. Well done!
It turned out really well and I'm sure she likes it very, very much... but you got a new shop, man!! I think she deserves a new house for Christmas. lol
I really like the sand bag weight idea. I actually haven't seen that before but I would have thought a lot of people would be doing that, but no, people don't.
I love your grinder with the sanding wheel on one side and a flex shaft!!!!! Seems quieter than other types so how do you set up the grinder that way???? I’m in a one bedroom apartment so noise is a concern for me I do have a table saw and dremel with flex shaft so far
I love it, and yes it's pretty quiet. it just have one default; the rubber inflatable drum leaks after the rubber dries after 5 years or so. You can check it there www.kirjes.se/EN/kirjes.html
+Dwight Souder While building the shop I gave myself a tendinitis in my left elbow. The Strap helps for the pain. But a year after I'm almost at 99% so I rarely uses the strap anymore, only when I'm scared that I'll hurt myself again...
+James Campbell I always work in short sleeve all year round. Yes it's well insulated and with my two 5000 watts heater it onlu take 30 minutes to bring the temperature up to 20 celcius.
mr Vaillancourt this is what your new cnc is perfect for... if you need help taking a picture and transforming it to a 3D model Ill gladly help you with that...
I noticed that some of the tools you used were on the rotating (Lazy Susan) tool stand in your old shop. Do you still have that rotating tool stand, or did you get rid of it? If so, was there problems with it? I was thinking of building one.
+Rich Eklund I left it in my old shop to put stuff on it, I won't transfer it into my new shop for a couple of reason. It's big, in one corner of my old shop it was ok but I don't realy have space for it in my new setting. In a corner, things are always falling in the back, and it's almost impossible to get them after. If, like it was setup, you're having a lot of weight on it, It's becoming hard to turn.
It's a Kirjes kit, I bought it at one of our woodworking store around here I love it. Here's a link to their product (www.kirjes.se/EN/kirjes.html) good luck.
+Daniel Mcgann 2 reasons. 1) it was done last december and I didn't had any CNC then 2) I found that a hand made gift is even pricier than a machined one. So even this year I'm working on Renée's christmas gift without using my CNC other than signing it :)
I've printed it with Matthias Wandel BigPrint program. You can find it at woodgears.ca I use this program every time I need to print something to its real dimension, it's very useful Each page were printed on letter paper 8½X11" but you can use any paper size, then you stick them together with scotch tape Have fun making intarsia, it's been a while since I made something in intarsia, but it's a lot of fun
@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker Thank you very much, because I do not have the original pattern, I only have the photo and I will enlarge this photo in A3 size and copy it, so I asked for the dimensions, I wonder if it is A3 small, thank you for your help.
This is one of the best woodworking videos I have seen. The reason I like it is the inclusion of all the mistakes made and how to adjust and accommodate them. I tried my hand at intarsia once and made many mistakes. Here is a picture of my dog I wanted to do. imgur.com/v7Uw72s and here the pattern I made imgur.com/eZas23N but this is what I produced imgur.com/jDmqy5b so I need to practice more. your video will help, thank you.
You're welcome. I always include almost all my mistakes, I think this helps other. Some say I'm a jerk and don't know what I'm doing, but I let them be. I wish I could see what they're doing... Nice outcome, I find person and animals are hard to reproduce, they always look strange at the end.
+Making it Matters Actualy she doesn't, but it's her christmas gift of last year, I'm still working on her christmas gift of this year. You'll see it next december.

Très impressionnant ,c'est superbe. Évidemment ,au Canada ,c'est pas le bois qui manque . Bravo Monsieur Vaillancourt.
I love the lighthouse. The different colors make the project look perfect.
+Heavyboxes And the best part is; all the wood came from my shop leftovers and a couple of bits and pieces lying around :)
A master woodworker and a Canadiens fan. That's a great combination!
That is beautiful Alain, I'm sure she will love it.
+TheBeerbelly007 She loved it very much. And on top of it she found it more beautiful than her ugly Santa :)
I like how the grain on the pine that forms the sky is graduated, giving the piece some forced perspective to create depth.
+Peter Collin I know it turned great for a bunch of shop construction leftover.
Thank you so much for a very interesting tutorial, and especially showing how to deal with errors. As a beginner that is invaluable !! Much appreciated.

Beautiful piece
I have never seen this type of project before. Very nice gift for sure! Thanks for your video.
Marvellous , THANK YOU .

I can show you a few of mine if you would like....
+Larry Aubry I would like it very much. I love intarsia but I don't make it as often as I would like :(
+Alain Vaillancourt How would you like me to send you the pics?
Amazing work! Very nice, true craftmanship...
Oh my land, this was so cool to watch!! Congrats; this was a fascinating project start to finish--and it finished beautifully!
thank you
That came out beautiful, Alain... well done I am sure she will happy with it...
Im glad i found your video. You are a craftsman brother. Outstanding work!
Very nice, and thoughtful.
Merveilleux Alain.
Looks great
I really enjoy your videos. Your projects are always interesting and you manage to fit a lot of useful information into a relatively short time frame. I can't wait to try and build something like this. Well done!
Great job. Thanks for sharing this video.
Alain.....Nice work, thanks for sharing
This is really great ... Excellent work. Loved it.
Masterpiece!
Merci pour ce vidéo. J'ai appris plusieurs chose. Je commence dans ce loisir.
Je suis content de t'aider un peu. J'aime bien l'intarsia, mais je n'ai pas la chance d'en faire souvent par contre....
enjoy your videos,,you are a superb craftsman!!!
Oh yes. Great job on the lighthouse. Keep the awesome videos coming.
Excellent, beautiful piece...
Cheers...
It's a lovely gift and it's nice to see how pleased Rene was. Merry Christmas to you both :-)
I can't believe you sat on the video for a year before publishing it. That would have driven me crazy. Great result!
+Jeff Ferguson I'm doing the same thing this year :)))))
+Alain Vaillancourt That's a long time to keep us in suspense. I'm sure Renée will love this year's gift!
Very impressive!!
500th like! Woohoo! I have always liked intarsia work. I really liked this.
That is absolutely beautiful Alain. I'd pay for that or a set of the cut out patterns.
Amazing piece of work. However, I couldn't help thinking that her reaction would be like: "nice christmas gift, something to heat the house" =D
Great project - I really enjoyed watching and appreciate that you explained all the steps. I'll be trying an intarsia project soon!
Go ahead it's quite fun and easy. In the end you endup with something very nice, I still enjoy it each time I take a shower.
Hah - it took me a while to understand why you enjoy it each time you take a shower... I remember now :)
you make a hard job look very easy. really enjoy your videos.merry Christmas and a very happy new year
Amazing job!
You're the master of intarsia Alain!
+Andrea Arzensek I'M far from being a master, but I love making it.
You were blessed with some talented hands! I think I need a truck load of that wood filler for all my gaps!!!! Happy New Year bud!
I'm not normally a fan of intarsia, but I quite liked this. Good job, Alain. (shh: I think you got the better present.)
+wordsnwood Hihihi I know :)
It turned out really well and I'm sure she likes it very, very much... but you got a new shop, man!! I think she deserves a new house for Christmas. lol
+KSFWG We spent all our money on the shop, so the hose makeover will have to wait;)
Great workmanship as usual I've always wondered about intarsa projects. I think i will try a project of my own
+montewoods Try it it's fun
I really like the sand bag weight idea. I actually haven't seen that before but I would have thought a lot of people would be doing that, but no, people don't.
+Heavyboxes I don't use sandbags.... I use heavy boxes.... ;)
inspiring, my lesson learned, do not be afraid to et mistakes on wood scrolling :)
Muito bom parabéns
Very nice
AWESOME!!! :)
I'm new to TH-cam. Wonderful work!
I love your grinder with the sanding wheel on one side and a flex shaft!!!!! Seems quieter than other types so how do you set up the grinder that way???? I’m in a one bedroom apartment so noise is a concern for me I do have a table saw and dremel with flex shaft so far

Alain and the patience of Job
👏👏👏👏👏
Very nice! In parts of your video, you have a strap on your left forearm...what is that?
+Dwight Souder While building the shop I gave myself a tendinitis in my left elbow. The Strap helps for the pain. But a year after I'm almost at 99% so I rarely uses the strap anymore, only when I'm scared that I'll hurt myself again...
Very nice video. Never watched how these were done. Are those plans readily available?
+Gary McCoy This light house come from a book. If you look on Amazon for Intarsia books you'll find a lot of them. It's how I bought mine.
nice; with wood shop done & all the insulation how is/does temp hold as you're in short sleeves?
+James Campbell I always work in short sleeve all year round. Yes it's well insulated and with my two 5000 watts heater it onlu take 30 minutes to bring the temperature up to 20 celcius.
Nice
thank you
Noice!
Good
mr Vaillancourt this is what your new cnc is perfect for... if you need help taking a picture and transforming it to a 3D model Ill gladly help you with that...
This is beautiful, nice job Alain, I'm trying to learn on some simple intarsia pieces.
I noticed that some of the tools you used were on the rotating (Lazy Susan) tool stand in your old shop. Do you still have that rotating tool stand, or did you get rid of it? If so, was there problems with it? I was thinking of building one.

In a corner, things are always falling in the back, and it's almost impossible to get them after.
If, like it was setup, you're having a lot of weight on it, It's becoming hard to turn.
20,000 dollars worth of shop tools and you can make one too!
In your video at 3:47 I seen a dual chucked green bench grinder type sander. Could you tell me a make or where to get one?
It's a Kirjes kit, I bought it at one of our woodworking store around here I love it. Here's a link to their product (www.kirjes.se/EN/kirjes.html) good luck.
cool project. see uses scaner slash printer to shrink patern. see if make again this time as christmas ornament small hang tree branch.
if don't have one those liberty some time photo copy for some money.
Why didn't you use the CNC machine to carve it?
+Daniel Mcgann 2 reasons.
1) it was done last december and I didn't had any CNC then
2) I found that a hand made gift is even pricier than a machined one.
So even this year I'm working on Renée's christmas gift without using my CNC other than signing it :)
Ok that explains a lot!...
Very nice work.
Wish you would do a couple of video's on the CNC machine!...undecided if i should buy one or not....
+Daniel Mcgann I use it in a couple of upocoming episode.
ın which format did you print this pattern a3 a2?
I've printed it with Matthias Wandel BigPrint program. You can find it at woodgears.ca
I use this program every time I need to print something to its real dimension, it's very useful
Each page were printed on letter paper 8½X11" but you can use any paper size, then you stick them together with scotch tape
Have fun making intarsia, it's been a while since I made something in intarsia, but it's a lot of fun
@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker 81/2×11", how many did you use and put together, I'm very sorry, I need the exact dimensions in cm
I'm not sure if it was 4 or 6 pages. But with the diagonal aligning lines of BigPrint it's super easy to align the sheet
@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker Thank you very much, because I do not have the original pattern, I only have the photo and I will enlarge this photo in A3 size and copy it, so I asked for the dimensions, I wonder if it is A3 small, thank you for your help.
What town do you live in? I live on the St. Lawrence river in the United States in New York.
+1Independentrider In a small town south west of Montreal
Im just across the border from Cornwall Ontario.
+1Independentrider So we're not that far apart, I have relative in Cornwall
Small world
noel 2014 ???
+Jose Felix Sanchez Bellorin Yes christmas 2014, Next year you'll be able to see Renée's gift that I just finished :)
ok. gracias por su respuesta .. feliz navidad¡

and here the pattern I made

but this is what I produced
imgur.com/jDmqy5b
so I need to practice more. your video will help, thank you.
You're welcome. I always include almost all my mistakes, I think this helps other. Some say I'm a jerk and don't know what I'm doing, but I let them be. I wish I could see what they're doing... Nice outcome, I find person and animals are hard to reproduce, they always look strange at the end.
I guess that Rene does not watch your channel :)
+Making it Matters Actualy she doesn't, but it's her christmas gift of last year, I'm still working on her christmas gift of this year. You'll see it next december.
Very nice! In parts of your video, you have a strap on your left forearm...what is that?
