- I LOVE Star Wars! Who doesn't? I especially like R2D2 so why not make him out of wood? I have always wanted to try intarsia and for my first project I am so happy with the way it turned out! It took me a long time to finish with all the tiny pieces and detail but it was worth it! This piece is made from standard poplar that you can buy at the big box stores. I cut each piece using various thicknesses and then shaped each one to give it the look I was going for. I thought I could do it without a scroll saw but as you will see, I needed to buy several tools and gadgets along the way. I have been wanting to do this type of woodworking for a long time. It's like 3D but not quite. Maybe 2.5D? Anyway, may the force be with you!

Very cool video. This is one of those "Make it happen", videos. If you want to do something bad enough you will do what it takes to make it so. My name is Steve Good. I write the Scrollsaw Workshop blog. I am going to link to this video in today's post so my readers can see your project. I know they will find it entertaining. If you are interested in seeing the post just do a google search for "Scrollsaw Workshop". Fun video.
Hi Steve, thanks so much for your nice comments and posting on your site! I have a lot to learn so I'll be following your blog from now on. The Scroll Saw is so much harder than it looks! Thanks again for featuring this video!!!
"I was watching before the R2-D2 video" is something I'll tell my grandkids someday. Dude, this is awesome. Such a labor of love, well done
Yes! That’s hilarious thanks for your support Seth!
A lot, a lot of patience, my respects
Thank you!! It was a ton of work but I loved doing it and learned a lot.
Nice job. One of the challenges of intarsia is to find woods that are different colors so you don’t have to paint them. No you won’t get bright blue but there are blue-ish woods, brighter and darker woods.
Thanks! Yeah I love watching the guys and gals who do this with natural woods.
Steve Good sent me here.... THAT WAS AWESOME !!! My husband love Star Wars, I think i will try to do it.... keep the good work, I'll follow you :-)
Thank you so much Carole!! You should make one! Let me know if you have any questions rllwoodworks@gmail.com
I love it! Well done!
Thanks so much! Working on a similar project as we speak for Mandalorian.
Wow what a great video. I am a huge star wars fan and love woodworking but I don't think I could do that. You deserve alot of subscribers and gained 1 more here. Thats incredible. I say C3PO or bobba fett next lol.
Hey thanks so much!! Really appreciate you watching and the kind words. I was just thinking yesterday what I want to do for May the 4th 2021. Should I stick with something intarsia wood or what about a Boba Fett helmet?
@@RLLWoodworks a helmet would be awesome.
Now we gotta hope Rorland Woodwork make a 3CPO so this little guy has a big gold buddie.
Haha I think you're right! Ask and you shall receive here at Rorland Woodwork.
Great build! The part with the table saw made me laugh so hard! The force is strong with this one!
Haha thank you so much for watching!! This is my favorite woodworking project and video to date.
Awesome!!
Thank you!!
I never did get into the whole "Star Wars" thing but I must say, you did a masterful job on this project. Good on ya!
Thank you so much Ray!
amazingly detailed and beautiful work. enjoyed it very much! 👍🏻
Thank you!! 👊🏻
Cool project. Well done, friend. You just got yourself another new subscriber!
Thank you so much!! It really means a lot to me.
That’s an impressive piece of art and an entertaining video Roland. Great job! Now you need to create the Dagobah system for him to live in...
Ha thanks Bret! 👊🏻 Maybe they will be next!!
Steve Good sent me - thanks Steve🙏
Roland, I loved this project and seeing you do it was a special treat. It is great. Looks great on the wall too! Something you can be proud of for sure🐓 So let's all stick around and see what you come up with in the future👀
Mistakes? were made but, hey, we all improved our woodworking by our mistakes so no worries. Just be safe. Steel is much harder than flesh. Did I say Be Safe yet?
Did you know a scroll saw can do such clean cuts so that you only have to remove a few frizzies from the bottom cut edge?
Stay safe. -Mike
p.s. 'Roland' until I figure what your street name is😁😁 (I'm old school that way - anonymous is so cold, eh?)
Haha thanks for the comments Mike! I’m going to be following Steve for some of those scroll saw tips because I hate filing and sanding! Appreciate your advice. Also, name is Rory but Roland made me laugh.
@@RLLWoodworks See Rory, my tactic worked😁 I learned so much scrollsaw from Steve and others on YT but am no means a master of it hehehe.
-Mike
Nice
Thank you! One of my favorite projects ever.
This is really good, I like star wars and I also do scroll saw work, I noticed that Steve goods commented and his newsletter that I'm subscribed to is how I came across this video, well you have a new subscriber here :)
Thank you Daniel! Appreciate your support. I have a lot to learn on the scroll saw that for sure.
@@RLLWoodworks your welcome
😃👍🏻👊🏻
Hi I enjoyed your video! Steve Good sent me to check this out. I wonder what the product that that you purchased is called? I wish you had a link for them. Thanks, You were very instructive and entertaining. Thank You for sharing. Hope you check out the scroll shop blog and all the free patterns steve shares!
Hi George thanks for the comments! I will include the links soon. In the meantime, the scroll saw is a Wen from Home Depot, the sanding plate is from Woodcraft (I love this btw), and the router speed control is from Harbor Freight. I think you can get them all on amazon as well. Thank you!
How long did this take?
Way too long! I started it on February 24th and worked on it off and on for about 6 weeks. Then I realized if I hurried I could get it done by Star Wars day so I kicked it into gear the past couple weeks. Thanks for watching!
RLLWoodworks nice. When is that?
Haha, today! May the 4th be with you!
RLLWoodworks haha just gettting your goat. Cool build. Live long and prosper.
