I make a lot of simple toy cars. I just buy the wheels at Michael's or any other craft store. They're super cheap. You can make your own as suggested above. Here's a video I did last Easter that also shows how to add the wheel axel along with a few tips. About 2:10 in, and you'll see the wheel section.

I've had my eye on this, but haven't tried it yet: Looks good, though. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G0ON8I/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001G0ON8I&linkCode=as2&tag=rayzcach-20&linkId=2A2KSSJ3HXL5Z6TY

Just 5 days! Can anybody else design some patterns over the weekend?

I got mine in! So far we received patterns from: Don R Birchbark Trip PhantomScroller bobscroll Craig R Travis Those who will be sending patterns: bobguy We have 8 people so far. Our goal is 10. Surely, there's at least two of you out there that can help add patterns to our eBook. Remember, the deadline is Next Wednesday! It's sneaking up quickly. So get those designs in to me ASAP.

Correct. It doesn't matter which picture you share of completed or works-in-progress projects. It only matters when distributing/sharing patterns. Patterns that you share must be of your own creation made from copyright free materials.

Just got some patterns from Craig R. Thank you! So far we received patterns from: Don R Birchbark Trip PhantomScroller bobscroll Craig R Those who will be sending patterns: Travis bobguy We have 8 people so far. Our goal is 10. If you can help out, please do. It goes for a good cause and helps the scroller community as well. Who else can pitch in and design a few patterns for our eBook? Let me know here so I can get a head count!

You can post a picture of any finished project. You don't need to know where the pattern came from or if it's copyrighted. However, you cannot post the pattern unless you specifically designed the pattern yourself from copyright free source material. Does this answer your question? Thanks for checking!

It's also worth noting. Items listed here are not sold or endorsed by SSV. All transactions are between yourself and the individual eBay seller. Check out our Safe Buying Guide for tips to ensure a smooth transaction.

I've been working on this in dribs and drabs over the year, and I'm finally happy to announce a new feature to SSV! Introducing Wood Finder! This handy tool makes it easier for you to find the wood products you need for your next project. Find hard-to-find hardwoods, veneers and plywood for your woodcrafting needs. Whether your a portrait artist, intarsia artist, pen turner, wood carver, marquetry artist, or an all round scroll sawer, you’ll find what you’re looking for. We have a huge list of species to choose from. When you click a species, a list of all the lumber currently listed on eBay becomes available. It makes it so much easier to search for wood than using eBay's interface. Take a look around. Kick the tires a bit. I’m sure you’ll find something you can’t live without! I'll keep it in the Navigation tab next to the Pattern Library for a week or two. Then I'll move it under the "More" tab. If you see something that isn't working right, let me know. Enjoy!

Things are moving along. I got bobscroll's patterns. Craig R committed. Thank you both.

Patterns are starting to roll in. Thanks guys!

Hi Bob. I didn't see yours come through. Can you email it again? travis@scrollsawvillage.com

Here's the solution for running Inkscape on X11: https://inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/ You'll need to download and install a program that makes cross platform programs operate in an OSX environment. I don't own a mac, so I'm not very familiar with the process. But at least this should point you in the right direction.

You can cover it up with a white shape. That might be your best bet. Otherwise, erasing a line creates an incomplete object. Post the SVG and we can take a look at it.

Man, you guys are quick! Designers, take note. The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think. So far we received patterns from: Don R Birchbark Trip Those who will be sending patterns: Travis bobguy Who else is in!?

Halloween is over and Christmas is right around the corner. Scrollers are starting to think about gifts and patterns to cut for loved ones. But since the Holiday season is also about helping others in need, we're continuing our tradition here at Scroll Saw Village as a way to give back. This will be our 5th year of publishing an e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. This popular e-Book was featured this year in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine. Our ornaments designs are exclusive to this eBook and designed by SSV members. Anyone are can download the ebook in exchange for a donation to their favorite charity. Our hope is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes, and provide some cool patterns at the same time. But we need your help! So I'll need some volunteers to design some ornaments. Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less) I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book) They have to be designed specifically by you (no posting other people's patterns) Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by November 26th (info below) A few things to keep in mind: Religious and secular designs are accepted. Other religions/traditions also celebrate this time of year, so lets not forget them. Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think. Get them to me ASAP. What do you get in exchange? Credit for your design. The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) or PM me. Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & White only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook. I'll also accept Inkscape files (SVG). This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way there is no conversion. If you haven't seen it yet, here's our article in Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts: I'm designing. Are you? So who's in? .

Looks great. I'm glad you did well. What was your best seller?

I was looking at that too. I wish they had more pictures of the finished projects so I can see what patterns I'll be buying. They have a few on the cover which is fine. But I'd like to see more.

I thought it would be, but I'm wondering if I got a few pre-release issues. It's the Holiday issue, so I would think that it would be out already. But maybe not.

Some folks were asking when their Supporter membership expires. Usually an email renewal reminder comes out 10 days before it expires. You can find your status and invoice by clicking your name in the upper right corner, then clicking Client Area. The invoice will show up under the Overview tab as well as the Invoices tab. The Purchases tab will show you what you have purchased (in this case a SSV Supporter membership) and when it expires. I'm still working out the bugs in the purchases area. If you are having trouble purchasing a SSV Supporter membership, let me know. Again, thank you for your support!

I fixed that. Give it a try now and see if you have the same problem.

I updated the software for SSV this evening. We had a hiccup during the upgrade process which took SSV down for about an hour. But we eventually got it resolved. We were having some issues with the PayPal payments, which prompted the upgrade. The upgrade seemed to fix things. If you are having trouble renewing your Supporter membership, or having trouble purchasing a new Supporter membership, please let me know. If you see anything acting quirky or not the same as before, let me know and I'll look into it. Now back to what we do best...talking shop.

Thanks Clayton. We were having some issues with the PayPal payments, lately. I think I have it resolved, now. If you are having trouble renewing your Supporter membership, or having trouble purchasing a new Supporter membership, please let me know. I was able to renew yours, Clayton as well as DonR. We don't have the luxury of a major publication flipping the bill. These Supporter memberships go a long way in offsetting the costs of running SSV. Plus there's a bunch of extra perks for SSV Patrons. Thanks for the support! I really appreciate the help.

It looks like the Village got a little press! Scroll Saw Village was featured in the Sawdust column in the Holiday 2014 Issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts. They wrote a nice little article about our Ornaments For Charity eBook. Thank you to all that have contributed to the Ornaments For Charity eBook over the years. This might be a good time to start thinking about your ornament designs. I'll officially announce the call for entries on November 1st for this year's edition.
