If you bought them directly from me (scrollsawgoodies.com), I might have record of your purchases. If so, I could help restore those for you. If you bought them from Dale when he had his shop, that might be a bit more difficult since I don't have visibility in his past sales. You'd have to contact him directly. I haven't heard from him in quite awhile, though.

Dale from Dale's Puzzles did the Puzzimals. Mostly dog breeds. I sell them on his behalf at www.scrollsawgoodies.com.

Changed Club Information to Open to all who live in or are connected to NC as well as all the bordering states (VA, SC, GA, WV, TN) The goal of www.ncwoodworker.net is to provide a welcoming atmosphere that fosters a unique sense of community for any North Carolina woodworker who wishes to participate or lurk. The main aspects to meeting these goals are: Guests and members surfing our site should feel that they are welcome and that participating in our site is a worthwhile and pleasant experience. We strive to maintain a polite and helpful tone in our posts, replies, and questions. We seek to ensure that guests and all members of their families are comfortable viewing site content. Every effort is made to monitor User names, avatars, signatures, biographies, and posts in pursuit of that goal. Members may post threads, comments, replies, questions, and make suggestions without fear of abuse from other members or staff. We wish to create an atmosphere that fosters attitudes about other members that are conducive to a desire to meet others in person and help each other both on the site and in person.

It won't be that elaborate. Just a category listing of pattern vendors with reviews. If you're into compound cutting, you can find them and see that Diana Thomas and Sue Mey make compound cutting patterns.

The trick is to get it broad enough to cover areas where people will be searching for types of patterns, but not so broad that the bucket becomes generic. Clocks is a good example. There are some folks who really like clock patterns. So they would be looking for vendors that do clocks patterns. Technically, it would fall under fretwork, but they'd have to sift through a lot of sites before they come across clock patterns. So for example, Wilckens Woodworking specializes in clock patterns. So their entry would include the categories: fretwork, clocks. Charles Dearing specializes in portraits. So he would be categorized as: fretwork, portraits. Steve Good does all kinds of things, so his categories might be: word art, baskets, puzzles, toys, home items, decor. I don't want a huge list of scrolling types, but enough to give others enough information to that pattern designer's offerings. It'll be a checkbox style entry where you check all that apply.

Hi everybody. I'm working on putting together a listing of pattern vendors. I'm building it in a similar way as I did the Clubs & Organizations section. I'd like to tag pattern makers by the type of work they do. So I'm trying to put together a broad list of types of scrolling. I can use your help. What other categories of scrolling am I missing or should add to the list? Here's what I have so far: Fretwork Portraits Intarsia/Segmentation Inlay/Marquetry Lath Art Compound Cutting Puzzles Toys Home Items Signs Thanks for your help!

Done! Clubs outside the US now have their own section. Let me know if I'm missing anything for club information. If anybody knows of any clubs or organizations that's not listed, please add them. I'm hoping we can create a nice list of clubs around the world.

Happy New Year! May 2018 bring you prosperity, comfort, and hope. With the new year, comes New Years Resolutions! So that's what this month's scroll saw challenge is. I want you to try something new with scroll sawing. Maybe you've always wanted to try intarsia? Or compound cutting? Coin cutting? Something artsy? Or maybe try your hand at pattern making? Post something that you've wanted to try but haven't had the excuse to until now. Find something new, and give it a try. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

That's a feature I need to fix. It was a part of the older software where featured items were handpicked. They were either interesting or cool projects that are fun to highlight. It was basically a way to show off what can be done with a scroll saw to encourage new visitors to browse through user galleries. Back in the olden days of last summer, it was easy to feature a gallery item. Nowadays, it's a little more cumbersome and I have'n' updated it for quite some time. The problem is that the old Featured items don't drop off over time, so I gotta manually remove them. I'll have to look at my options. I either need to remove it or start doing it again and put more energy behind maintaining it...which it tough.

I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. SSV wouldn't be what it is without our creative and passionate members. I just love coming here and seeing what y'all come up with, and the support and encouragement you give eachother. It really warms the heart. Thank you so much for making SSV so awesome. I hope you are able to spend this special time of year surrounded by folks you love. My Christmas wish is that the new year brings your prosperity, comfort, and hope. Merry Christmas Everybody!

I'll work on that next. This one just about did me in.

Hi All. I added a new feature to SSV. I've created a listing of scroll saw clubs. It is located under the Resouces tab in the menu bar. You can also access by clicking here. We used to have an article with the clubs listed in a table, which worked OK. But it was hard to update. Now we have everything in a nice database. It automatically sorts the clubs by state, but you can sort it by city, club name, etc. If you want more information on a club, just click on the club name for more information. You can add comments about the club there. It's super easy to add a new club. Just click the "Add New Club" button in the upper right corner of the main page and fill in the information. If an existing club needs updated info, just click the club name and click the "Update Club Information" button in the club info page. This new database feature was a challenge to implement. I've been messing with it on and off for the last few months. I'm not a programmer, so there's a lot of trial and error and talking to people smarter than me. But I think I got a pretty good handle on it now. I'll be adding other directories soon as well. But for now, enjoy the club list. Please do me a favor. If you belong to a club, check to see if the information we have is correct. If not, please update it. If your club isn't listed, please add it. Thanks All! Just one more step to making SSV even better.
