Mike Crosa Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 I was very sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I have been a fan since the mid 2000's when I got my first scroll saw. You will be missed. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
scrollerpete Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 We lost the MASTER patterns maker for the scrollsaw, the variety of patterns designed by Steve are enormous, very sad day for the sawdust makers community. Sympathy to all his wife and children during this very though times. Scrolling Steve, OCtoolguy and Jronn65 3 Quote
flarud Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 (edited) His blog mentioned in leu of flowers, donations can be made. Instead, I figured that I would buy the USB since I have always intended to buy it but never did. I just tried to purchase the USB drive but when I went thru all of the clicks and filled out my info,, it doesn't allow to enter credit card info,, only a link to go to Paypal. Any ideas?

Hudson River Rick Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 REST IN PEACE dear friend. Not too long ago you remarked on your daily post, that you were so happy that you & Patty got to move back to be near family. I'm so glad that gift was granted to you. Blessings to your family, and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU GAVE TO US. Rick ChelCass, Scrolling Steve, OCtoolguy and 1 other 4 Quote

MarieC Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 I am so very sorry to hear this news. I have used Steve's patterns in my scroll saw classes and have always enjoyed seeing his smiling face on so many of the downloaded patterns. He was such a great and generous soul. My heart just aches for you and your family. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Marie TAIrving, OCtoolguy, Scrolling Steve and 1 other 4 Quote
wombatie Posted March 6 Report Posted March 6 He helped us all to be the best we could be with his amazing patterns. Both my husband and I have cut quite a few of his patterns and I have a few on my to do list to do before Christmas. I hope they keep the site open just for the patterns it would be sad to lose those as well.. RIP Steve, we will miss you. Marg OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Fish Posted March 6 Report Posted March 6 It's sad to lose such wonderful people. His scroll saw work will always keep him around us. Rest in peace OCtoolguy 1 Quote
red river Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 What a punch in the gut. I feel like I knew the man. Watching his videos and cutting his patterns got me started in scroll sawing hobby. I could tell from his videos he had a good heart. Very sad to receive the news. MarieC and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
artisanpirate Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 He was a legend and he will be greatly missed, he gave me permission to use any of his patterns to teach with on YouTube when I met him back in 2019 jerry walters, ChelCass, Jronn65 and 3 others 5 1 Quote
timelett Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 I have been working on the shelf project from the flash drive I purchased. I will post a picture when finished, Steve Good left a memorial gift for all of us to enjoy,that's what I will remember as I enjoy his patterns, I find enjoyment on putting my own thoughts on his patterns. I hope this doesn't undermine his talents. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
stevan Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 Like most everyone else around here, I started with Steve's patterns. He lived and worked here in Lexington until just a few years ago and was just a few miles from my house. Sadly, I never got the chance to meet him in person. Steve truley was an icon in the scroll saw universe. He will be missed. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
trackman Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 I meant Steve at a wood show in Dayton Ohio. He was exactly the same man that he appeared to be on his blog! Some people get big heads and make you feel like they’re doing you a big favor just to look at you. Not Steve, we talked an couldn’t ask for a nicer person. Been following him so long I truly feel I have lost a good friend. OCtoolguy, Jim McDonald and MarieC 3 Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 Not sure how many would get this reference but I equate Steve to be the Norm Abrams of scrollsawing as Norm is well known in the woodworking world that introduced us to the tool world as well as the make your own projects world. I put them both in that same class. I learned so much from watching Norm's shows over the years and he too was one of the nicest people when you meet him at shows. People like this are valuable assets to their fields. Steve's legacy will live on. As we older scrollers slowly pass on, hopefully a new generation carrys the torch and with it the legacy. RIP Steve.

BluedMoon Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 I haven't been online in a couple of weeks and now here's this terrible news. I finished two of the SG "Slightly Rude" signs for my boy in those weeks (he loves them and has them in his bathroom). Sincere condolences to Steves' family. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
