Not sure. I"ll have to test it on my iPad when I get home. I thought the software automatically converts URLs into links (make sure you have the http:// part).

LOL...I hear ya. That's why I'm not able to crank out as many videos as I'd like. I'm hoping to do more, though.

I removed a couple of patterns that came from other sites. Only post patterns you have personally created yourself. Thanks for the help!

I think you just create a google account. When you're logged in, there should be an upload button in the upper right corner.

A wooden gear clock is on my bucket list. I won't design my own, though. I'd rather just buy the plans. If you do a build, be sure to document it in the Works In Progress forum. I'd love to see it come together.

For video, it's best to use a hosting site like YouTube, Vimeo, or a service like that. Then just post the link in the forum. If it's on YouTube, it will automatically embed into the forum post.

I removed the pattern. We can't lift patterns from someone's cutting as it circumvents the original designer's control of their patterns. You can do it for yourself, but we can't distribute it. Thanks for the assist, though.

Hi Ade. Welcome to the Village. We're glad to have you aboard. I'd love to see it, but it looks like your image didn't attach. Here's a tutorial on how to add an attachment to your forum post. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/articles.html/_/using-ssv/attaching-photosdocuments-to-your-post-r68

I think that might be the best place too. I added one to the rotating banners. I also updated the Support SSV tab to include a link in the Amazon section description along with the banner.

Sure. Basically, if you go to the support page, you'll see an Amazon banner. Just click that and it directs you to Amazon. Whenever you make a purchase by clicking the banner first, we get a small kickback. The entire transaction takes place on Amazon. I don't know who bought what, no credit card information, or other vital information. So there's no worries there. SSV gets about 3-4% of the total, depending on what is purchased. It's not much, but any little bit helps. I need to find an easier way to make the Amazon link available without getting in the way. I don't want it to be too spammy, but easy for those who choose to support SSV that way. If anybody has an ideas, I'd love the feedback.

Sorry I'm late to the game. I'm still trying to play catch-up since my unexpected trip back to MT. On the Support SSV tab, we have multiple options to support SSV. The first one is the SSV Patron badge. This is what most people do. You get a few extra perks on SSV, plus a Supporter badge that shows under your avatar. The next option is the Donate button. This is for those who want to donate a few extra bucks in addition or in lieu of the regular Supporter badge. And lastly, an Amazon link. When you purchase from Amazon by using this link, SSV gets a small kickback. We got a handful of donations recently, probably as a response to this forum post (Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Dick). Looking at it now and I guess it might be a little confusing. I'm wondering if some of those folks intended to purchase or renew the supporter badge and clicked the Donate button instead. I'll re-arrange the info on that page to avoid confusion. If anybody clicked donate but meant to buy the supporter badge, PM me and I'll get you squared away. Dick, I sent you a PM. We'll fix you up.

Here's the tutorial you're looking for: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/390-printing-oversized-patterns/

The tutorial is located here for those interested: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/articles.html/_/pattern-making/inkscape/scroll-saw-patterns-with-inkscape-l6-r41 It's in the Text On Path section.

Howdy all. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be offline for the next few days. I'm flying back to Montana to attend a funeral and will have limited access to a computer. I'll try to check in when I can. Hold down the fort.

Awesome. I updated our Pattern Vendor's list to show his new website.

Hegner has an different way of setting up blades. Basically, the blade holder/clamp is removable. You attach your blade to the clamp first, then slide it into brackets that hold the clamp. I'm not sure how you're supposed to thread your blade through for internal fretwork. Seems like a significant hurdle to cross. However, Hegners are a popular high end saw, so I suspect it isn't an issue. Here's the manual if you want to take a closer look: https://www.advmachinery.com/manuals/H-manual.pdf I believe they also have a conversion kit that will make blade changing similar to the way other saws. Here's an article about their conversion kit vs the original method.

I agree with loftyhermes. Steve Good might be the best resource for that. I know he's done a lot of tutorials on Corel Draw. I'm not sure if he's done a classroom style series or not. Most of the techniques I describe in Inkscape are the same in Corel Draw. The buttons might be in different locations or called different things. These videos take a huge amount of time to produce, so I tend to focus on software that's easily available for everybody (IE, free. ) I know there's other Corel Draw users here. If you run into a roadblock, I'm sure someone would be able to point you in the right direction.

You'll have to copy your image into a new canvas that is the correct size. Then you'll scale your image to fit the canvas. You can check out Lesson 4. It is covered very early on in the video. The written instructions are listed under Creating Our Pattern Document. Let us know if you run into any troubles.

PM me the info you want to update and I'll check it out.

Which browser are you using? I can update it for you if you'd like.

I removed the pattern. We can't post other people's patterns. Even we're just cleaning them up for others and not taking credit. Designers like to control their own distribution of their work. Thanks y'all.

I use lemon oil. The same stuff you find in the cleaning aisle of your grocery store. It smells nice, pops the grain, and does a nice job. I have a little tupperware try I keep it in and dip the project in it. I also have a foam brush I keep in the container. Just dip, then let drip dry on a bed of nails. If any needs to be wiped away, you can. I think Steve Good uses a similar method. An alternative method is to put it in a spray bottle and spray down your fretwork. Wipe away any excess. It's a little more wasteful, but you don't have a big container of oil getting in your way. After is is dry, I add an acrylic spray to protect it.

In the upper right corner, there's a button that says "Update Location" Click that and you can enter your new location.

Most people just tape a furnace air filter to one side of the box fan. The air filter will "scrub" the air and remove any dust particles. Some people get more elaborate, but the principle is the same. Quick, cheap, and easy.

I found it on SSW&C. It's also a pretty small pattern. You could contact Oily to see if he has a larger version. http://www.scrollsawer.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/9535
