    I saw an announcement yesterday that the Scrollsaw Association of the World is closing their doors and dissolving their 501c. Were any of you members? I've looked at it many times, but I was never clear about what benefits it offered to members. I think they put together packets on how to start local clubs, with some support/listings. What else did they offer? Hate to see another scroll saw resource go. Is there something SSV can offer to help fill the void?

    Spring is in the air and our furry little friends are coming out to play. This month's challenge is all about the critters in our lives. Share a project of bunnies, puppies, and anything else that make you saw "awww." Post your animal projects below. When you do, please tell us a little something about it. While we love seeing your handiwork, it's the backstory that makes it special. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Howdy All. It's been a brutal winter, and I'm itching to get things done. I've been focusing on organizing the house and shop, lately. So I thought it would be fun to do some organizing projects. This month's scroll saw challenge is called Boxes, Bowls, & Trays. Basically, any kind of vessel, which could also include vases and other holders. Post a pic of boxes, trays, bowls, vases, pencil holders, totes, caddies, or whatever else you made to hold or organize stuff. It doesn't have to be completely done with a scroll saw, but a scroll saw should be involved in some way. Be sure to tell us a little about your project and what it was used for, or any other story that comes with the project (I love the story behind the project just as much as I like the project). Have fun! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

    I can help. What do you need deleted? Can you link me to it?

    I removed this site from our Patterns Vendor's list. Let me know if it becomes an active site again and I'll restore the record.

    Checking his website again, I bet he sends it out manually. I'd still check your spam filter, just in case.
  7. Travis
    I don't know how he has his website set up. But if it's automated, your pattern should arrive in your email inbox. I know sometimes when people buy my patterns, the email with the link to the pattern gets stuck in the spam filter. So be sure to check there, too.

    Howdy all. This is a reminder to keep things friendly. I think there was some misinterpretation of some of the posts. You can disagree, but please do so calmly and respectfully. This thread is getting a bit heated. I think Ray got the answer he was looking for. I'm going to lock this one down. Lets get back to talking about making some more sawdust!

    Unfortunately, I"m not a programmer. I do OK with modifying other people's code, but there's a lot of trial and error involved. I can look around for a solution. Maybe there's a plugin I can use. If you're a SSV Patron, you can bookmark posts and gallery images. The easiest way I found to bookmark a pattern is to right click on a picture and and choose Open Link In New Tab. That will take you a new pate and the screen will go dark and show the image. Just close that window with the big X in the corner, and that will show the image's home. Under the description is the Bookmark function. Click that and it will bookmark it for future reference. Then when you go to your profile, you'll have a list of your bookmarks.

    Hi All. You can do a search. After you do the search, you can refine by clicking More Search Options and choosing a specific section. In this case, it would be Images. This encompasses the Pattern Library as well as the User Gallery (They're basically the same software...Pattern Library it technically just a category of the gallery system). So if I was searching for this, my keyword would probably be "Pool" and the result would be here: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/search/?q=pool&type=gallery_image Now, this is very dependent on how folks upload the picture or pattern. It'll search using the filename, title, description, or any other meta information provided with the image. If it's not labeled well, it won't find it. That's why I try to categorize the patterns. But some of those categories are pretty big...LOL. I hope this helps.

    This month, it's an easy one. Post your first project of 2019! "Out with the old, in with the new,"as they say. We don't want to see what you made last year; we want to see what you made in 2019. Fresh off the saw. When you post, tell us a little about it. Who did you made it for and for what reason? Or maybe a little backstory. Projects are nice to see, but it's the story that goes with it that makes it special. Here's to a productive 2019!

    Mine got easier as I used it for awhile. It should loosen up after a bit.

    Hi everybody. I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for being a part of Scroll Saw Village. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'm continually amazed at what you folks come up with. It is truly inspiring. I hope 2019 brings you happiness and everything you hoped for...and maybe a little extra shop time, too. Happy Holidays, everybody.

    Hi All. This is a great thread with lots of great advice. I removed a couple posts that were a bit too aggressive, though. I just want to remind folks of the User Guidelines (a link found on every page of this website, and agreed to upon joining SSV): We all know what a friendly discussion looks like. So this policy shouldn't be a big surprise. Thanks all! Keep talking shop! That's what we're here for.

    Been wanting to cut a Nativity for quite some time. Finally got some time in my shop to get it done. This is Steve Good's pattern and made from some alder that @heppnerguy gave me. My wife and her friends really like a video game called Midnight Cinderella. I made some custom ornaments with some of the characters. The are thrilled with them. Here's a detail shot. Cut from 1/4" BB ply. The image is just printed onto copy paper. I also put some Christmas scrapbook paper on the reverse before cutting them out.

    This scroll saw challenge is an easy one! Post a Holiday project! Ornaments for your tree, gift for a loved one, or decorations for your house. Whatever! While we love to see your projects, it's the stories behind the project that makes it special. So tell us a little bit about it. I can't wait to see what's on your saw this Holiday season.

    I usually do most of my Christmas shopping online. I hate crowds and the traffic. So I'd rather spend my shopping time online. Its quick, easy, cheaper, and my gifts arrive at my door in a couple days. I do most of my shopping on Amazon and I love it! Very convenient. If you shop on Amazon, there's a way for you to get your Christmas shopping done and support SSV at the same time. We don't have a large publication to support our operating expenses. Thankfully, we have members choose to pitch in a few bucks by becoming SSV Patrons. That certainly helps offset the costs of running SSV so we can keep the lights on. But we also participate in an affiliate program with Amazon. Basically, if you purchase something from Amazon after clicking our banner, we get a small kickback. It doesn't cost you any extra. We can't see who bought what, so no worries there. It's just an easy way to support SSV while Christmas shopping. I've added a small Amazon banner in the right side of the forum. Just click that before you begin shopping. I'll be removing the Amazon banner after Christmas. Thanks for your continued support!

    Ornaments For Charity is a project from the members of Scroll Saw Village. For the last 15 years, our designers have donated their talents by creating wonderful ornament patterns for the Holiday Season. It has become so popular, and so big, we had to split it into 2 books! Book 1 covers our first 10 years; 2010-2021. Our newest book, Book 2, covers 2021-2025. Between the two books, we have 182 pages with 570 Holiday ornament patterns! So be sure to download both books! This popular eBook was featured in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts (read the article here). Is it really free? Here's how it works. Download the eBook and take a look at what we have to offer. If you decide to keep it, all we ask is that you donate to your favorite charity. You get a ton of great ornament patterns, and you help those in need in return. Remember, this isn't about "buying" an eBook of patterns, it's about giving to a worthy cause. If you don't have a favorite charity, we have listed a number of national (and international) charities below that could use your help. Remember, the purpose is to raise money for those in need. So, please dig deep when donating. Please donate to one of these fine charities or a charity of your choice. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which donates toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. By giving to Toys for Tots, you'll bring the magic of Christmas to children in need. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to children (2.5 years to 18 years old) who have life-threatening medical conditions. It is a wonderful charity that brings a few moments of joy. Habitat For Humanity is an international, non-governmental, non-profit organization devoted to building simple, decent, and affordable housing for those who would not otherwise be able to afford their own home. A donation to your local food bank will ensure that the hungry will be fed in your own community. Make a difference in your neighbor's life.

    Howdy all. I love running SSV and am happy to provide a place for folks to talk shop. But, SSV is a big place with lots of posts, forums and other nooks and crannies, it's hard to keep up with. If you need my attention for whatever reason, please tag me or send me a PM. Otherwise, there is a high likelihood that I'll miss your post. Tagging is great for mentions, or questions for a person that are relevant to the thread. You can tag any member by putting the @ symbol before their name. This will put a notification on their notification bell at the top of the screen. So mine would be @Travis. Naturally, private matters should be done with a private message. It's also a more direct way of reaching me. If you're having trouble with SSV, you can either post in the Help & Feedback forum. You can also open a support ticket. You can do from the main navigation at the top of the screen: More>Help>Submit A Help Ticket. These are the first 2 places I visit when I log in each day. If a particular post is problematic, you can always click the "Report Post" in the upper right corner of the post. A moderator will take a look at it. I hate missing questions directed at me and it goes unanswered. I don't want anybody to think I'm ignoring them. I probably just missed it. I hope this helps. Thanks All!

    Oh my gosh, we're sooooo close! I've added a badge to the pot. Once you send in your design, you'll be awarded a ornament badge for your trophy wall on your profile. Thanks to all that have participated. I greatly appreciate it. If you still want to design, there's still time. I just need the patterns by Wednesday. Details in the first post of this thread. Can we make it to 10? Here's what I have so far. If you sent me something and you're not listed, please let me know. I don't want to miss anyone. @Travis @Kris Martinson - Received @meflick - Received @worbler - Received @Montserrat - Received @MrsN @Fab4 - Received @grampa - Received @Foxfold - Received

    We're at 8 designers! Can we find 2 more designers? It would make my Christmas wish come true! 2 more designers would make 50 brand new ornament designs for the year! How awesome would that be? Remember, patterns are due by Wednesday. @Travis @Kris Martinson - Received @meflick - Received @worbler - Received @Montserrat - Received @MrsN @Fab4 - Received @grampa - Received
  25. Travis
    Here's where we are as of now. Thanksgiving is next week, so we have 9 days to get to our 10 designer goal! I think we can still do it! Who else is in? @Travis @Kris Martinson - Received @meflick @worbler - Received @Montserrat - Received @MrsN @Fab4 - Received
