    This was from a really old thread, but I was putting together a new website to make it easier to find wood on eBay. You can find the finished project here: http://www.wooddealsonline.com/ I've been working on bringing the same thing here to SSV. It's a little more complicated with the current software, but I'm getting there. It's on the ever expanding "To-Do" list I have.

    Looks like you have some work to do!

    For all of you pattern hoarders: Go to your pattern folder on your computer. Right Click your patterns folder and select Properties. This will list how many files are in your folder. Then post your number. Me? 1,372

    The Pattern Library is where we store all of our free scroll saw patterns. We upload to the New Patterns folder, where they’ll stay for 30 days, or when I get around to organize it. Then it will be moved into the most appropriate category. Having your patterns in the Pattern Library, as opposed to an attachment to a forum post, makes your pattern easier for people to find. It is a real thrill when you see one of your patterns cut. So the easier they are to find, the more likely they’ll get cut. First, click the Pattern Library tab. Then click Upload in the upper right corner. (This also works if you’re User Gallery tab) This will take you to the upload page where you’re presented with a few options. Click Upload Pattern. A popup window will appear, listing all the pattern categories. Most of them are grayed out and can’t be uploaded to directly. But you can upload to New Patterns. Click the button next to that. Below that are your upload options. Click the Choose Files button and browse to the pictures on your computer. You can select more than one at a time if you’re using the Flash option. Then click Open. Your pictures will begin uploading immediately. When they’re done uploading, a Review & Publish button will appear. Click that to add information about your patterns. Be sure to pick a good title for the pattern. Every work of art needs a title. The Tags section are for keywords that people might use to search for your pattern. For the Description section, add a quick description about the pattern; perhaps the size of cutting, special instructions, or any other additional notes a person may need to complete the project. For the Pattern Designer section, be sure to add your name as the pattern designer so people can give credit where credit is due. Once you filled out all of the fields, click Finish & Publish. It will take you back to the New Patterns category you just uploaded to where you can see your patterns have successfully uploaded. If you want to share your pattern in a forum post, check out my other tutorial, How To Share Gallery Pictures for more information. A couple of notes. Please keep all patterns in the Pattern Library and not in your personal gallery. Patterns will be moved if they’re in the User Gallery. This just keeps everything organized and easy to find. And lastly, this is very important, please only share patterns that you have personally designed yourself from copyright free materials. I have a strict policy about keeping copyright lawyers off my lawn. View full article

    I think it's desktop only. That would be fun, though.

    Sue Mey has a number of great crosses here. SSW&C had one in the Fall 2009 issue, also by Sue Mey.

    There are two tools you can use: Move Tool and the Scale Tool. I've attached a screenshot. The move tool you can use your mouse or the arrow keys. If you keep selecting the wrong layer, click the "Move Active Layer" option in the Tool Options. Then you simply select the layer you want to modify in the Layer's palette. For the scale tool, click a corner and hold down Ctrl to keep the aspect ratio the same. Hopefully this gets you what you need.

    Hi Rusty. It looks like you set up a profile instead of a page. A page is more for business, interests, groups and other types of promotions. A profile is for an individual. The advantage of a page is it allows anybody to follow your page without the user opening up their personal information. For instance, if I friend the profile you made, and you accepted me, you'd have access to all my friends, my likes, my posts, and pretty much everything else. And I would have access to all your info as well. Pages also have really nice analytics tools so you can see how many people view a post. It also has a lot more flexibility, plus it is unlimited number of followers (profiles cap it at a 1000 or something like that.)

    Great advice. What's your page address? I'd like to follow it (but I don't need in the drawing....save that for your potential customers).

    I use whatever I find at the store, which is usually 3m. The trick is to only spray the pattern. Let rest for a 30 seconds or so until it becomes tacky like a Postit Note. Then put on the wood. That makes it easier to come off. Then I usually use mineral spirits to remove it. Brush it on until the paper turns translucent like waxed paper, and the pattern practically falls off.

    Avast is known for false positives. I've scanned this site many times. My host has scanned it as well. Everything is secure. I'd recommend you get rid of Avast and use Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, or Norton. Here are other threads that dealt with Avast blackballing SSV: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1

    It's hard to pull detail from small pictures. Most of the time I won't even bother if the picture is too small. Typically, you'll need a larger scan with higher resolution.

    Here's the thread Larry was talking about: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/9087-blades-for-a-new-scroller/ Stay away from pinned blades. That's mostly for construction work and not very good for hobby work. All the blades are pretty universal: 5" long. I wouldn't bother buying blades from a big box store. They're not very good and way overpriced. The big 3 blade companies are Flying Dutcmah, Olson, and Pegas. I recommend Flying Dutchman. You can buy these blades here: http://mikesworkshop.com/blades.htm The smaller the blade number, the harder it is to control, but the tighter turns you can get. I like the #3 Scroll reverse. This is my go to blade. I cut 1/4" ply and sometimes 3/4" stock. #5 scroll reverse is good for 3/4" stock #9 is good to have on hand for large stock. If I was you, I'd learn with flat blades. After you're comfortable with flat blades, it's fun to try spiral. Spirals are tricky to get a straight line and have a tendency to follow the grain. However, I really like them for portrait work that has a lot of organic lines. For that, I use #3 scroll reverse spiral. I'd recommend buying a variety pack from Mike's Workshop. Try out a few blades, you'll quickly find one that fits you just right. You can find that here: http://mikesworkshop.com/AssrtPk.htm Feel free to ask questions. There's a good lot of folks here with great advice. Have fun!

    More information about "Practice Patterns"
    When you've been away from the scroll saw for any length of time, your skills get a bit rusty. Cut a few lines on these practice patterns to get the feel of your scroll saw again before beginning a new project. It'll only take a couple minutes to sharpen those skills, and your project won't suffer by being out of practice. These patterns cover a wide variety of cuts; sweeping curves, tight radius, long straight lines, jagged edges, sharp corners, etc. I even threw in a few shapes to keep things interesting. Download the FREE scroll saw practice pattern below. Print several copies of pages 2 & 3. Spray mount them to 1/4" plywood. Drill pilot holes at the beginning of each line as well as starting point for your shapes. Follow the lines as close as possible. For shapes, try cutting the inside or on the outside for variation of different skills. Cut a few lines before starting your next project. If you're a new scroller, these practice patterns are a great way to build your skills and confidence. A few tips: Cut a bunch of these practice patterns and keep a stack of them by your saw. Pull one out before you start your next project. Don't throw away the shapes. Toss them in a box. When the Holidays roll around, they make great gift tags and ornaments for those last minute gift ideas. Don't get too frustrated if you're not following the line well. Correct your course as best as you can. When you're feeling a bit more confident, move on to your bigger project. TCF0003_Practice.pdf
