If I really want to pop the grain, I'll do 50/50 BLO and Mineral Spirits. I'll apply it, and wipe it away after a minute or two. Add again after a bit if it's thirsty enough. Then I'll wait for the next day to put a clear coat on. But most of the time, I just skip the oil and move to the clear coat. I use Deft spray lacquer. It's a bit more spendy, but i like the way it handles and looks.

That's a good idea. Let me see if I can put together something.

Yup. These challenges usually only follow a theme and is open to your own interpretation. So you can use your own designs, or someone else's. Whether its from a book, magazine, SSV, or another website. All is welcome. If two people make the same thing, no problem. We're doing this all for fun. No real rules, other than get into the shop and make something. Great job, BTW.

Happy Valentine's Day! I never thought I'd say this, but stay out of the shop and spend some time with your better half.

I added a bunch to the list. Who else am I missing? Please add it if you can. If not, post it here and either myself or another member can add it for you. Also, please add a review to one that you've had experience with. That is very useful for other members.

I'm not sure how you assemble the clocks, but I wonder if you drill a smaller hole that goes all the way through. Maybe 1/2" or 3/4" wide. That way a person can simply push a pencil through the back of the piece to pop out the clock. Might be a nice way for your customer to easily pop out the clock for battery changing or resetting.

Do you have Photoshop? If so, you can write a quick batch script.

Changed Additional Information to .

I have that one.

Could you do something like this. Your main picture is under 200px. That makes it difficult to blow up and still get details. Then for the second picture, have it about 400px that's zoomed in to show some details so they can see what they're getting.

Hmm. I think it's really hard to see what it would look like, but a decent solution. The other ones are so blurry, I wouldn't know what I'm getting. Do you have any of these cut? the best solution would be to have a picture of the finished project. I'd shoot it at 3/4 angle so it can't be traced. Maybe put a flag across it that says "Pattern Only" or "PDF Pattern" or something so folks aren't confused that they're getting a pattern, not the puzzle. I'd also title the product to indicate it's a pattern.

Howdy All. I'm happy to introduce a new section on SSV for Suppliers! This is very similar to our Pattern Shops section. This will be a directory of places to find suppliers of scroll saw supplies. This includes places that sell scroll saws, tools, replacement parts, accessories, scroll saw blades, clock parts, wood parts, hardwoods & plywoods, etc. Each supplier has their own page with useful information, such as Website, location, if they offer international shipping, and an area for additional information customers may find useful. (Shop owners: Add a promo code for an SSV discount so they can track much traffic SSV has sent their way.) And most importantly, it has an area for comments/reviews. So if you have bought a pattern with a supplier, share your experiences with the rest of us. Suppliers list is located under the Resources tab. Check out our growing list. If you don't see your favorite supplier listed, add it by clicking the green button that says "Add new supplier" (Be sure to double-check to make sure it's not there already. We don't want double entries.) If there's missing or wrong information on the supplier's listing, please change change it by clicking the "Update Shop Information" button on that supplier's page. And one last note, many suppliers also offer patterns. If a supplier ONLY offers patterns, please add it to the Pattern Shops list instead. This list is for those who offer scroll saw supplies. Anyway, I hope y'all find this useful. Enjoy!

I bought some Pegas brand scroll saw blades. When I ordered, they were shipped from Canada. But it was really fast shipping and received them in 2-3 days. Great experience.
