We got another submission from Phantom Scroller! This brings us to 9 contributors! Did I miss anybody? Submissions are due by the end of Wednesday. I'll probably publish the eBook the day after Thanksgiving (maybe earlier, depending on schedule). Trip Don R Jesse smitty0312 Birchbark bobscroll heppnerguy Dan Phantom Scroller

So, my job has been beating up on me for the last couple weeks. I'm a little slow on replying to emails and inquiries. But I'll get there, I promise! I must say, it sure is nice to stop in SSV and see what y'all are working on. Right now, I'm living vicariously through you guys and gals. It sure is fun seeing all the shop talk and the amazing projects that come through SSV. My little refuge from the real world.

In my design classes, I called it a bridge. I think most people would understand what you'e saying if you mention a bridge. This segment is covered in lesson 6 if you're looking for more detail/explaination. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/articles.html/_/pattern-making/gimp/scroll-saw-portraits-using-gimp-l6-r31

We got another submission from Dan. This brings us up to to 8 designers. I'll also be contributing, so that will make 9. We still have a week and a half, anybody else willing to donate their talents and provide 5 ornament patterns for our eBook? Remember, it's for a great cause. Here's our contributors right now: Trip Don R Jesse smitty0312 Birchbark bobscroll heppnerguy Dan Remember, the due date is November 27th (the day before Thanksgiving).

Great cutting for a great show! Nicely done!

I've been a bit behind on this. We got another submission from heppnerguy. That makes 7! Phantom Scroller is working on some, too. So that will make 8. Maybe we can hit 10 designers this year? How awesome would it be to have 50 new ornament pattersn added to our ebook, this year!? Special thanks to our contributors so far: Trip Don R Jesse smitty0312 Birchbark bobscroll heppnerguy There's still time! Dust off your Inkscape and think Holiday thoughts.

At the bottom of the thread, you'll see a text box. This is a quick reply box. For more features, click the button next to Post that says "More Reply Options" This will take you to a full featured posting page, which includes file attachments.

What kind of pattern are you trying to make? Is it a portrait style pattern (with the deep shadows), or is it a freestanding cutout? That will let us know what you're trying to create. A portrait style pattern, Inkscape isn't a good way to go. For that, I'd use GIMP. If it's a freestanding pattern or plaque, you're off to a good start.

Nope. There shouldn't be a character limit. I'm not sure what happened on your computer. If it's a lengthy post, I'd copy and paste it into a word document as backup before hitting submit. Goodness knows I've been in the same situation on other websites. For placing pictures in the post, after you've attached the pic, place your curser where you want to insert the picture and click the link next to your picture that says "Add To Post." That will insert the picture wherever your curser is.

It's only for renewal 1 year after purchase date. So everybody's will be a bit different.

Anybody else having similar issues? I know I've gotten a few renewals, but I'm not sure if it was before or after the reminder invoice expired. Kevin,things are pretty crazy on my end right now, but I can look into it further by Wednesday. We'll get you where you need to be. Sit tight for now and I'll get it sorted.

Oil won't make it shiny. It'll only accentuate the grain. It will also yellow it a bit. I personally like using Lemon Oil. You find it in the grocery store in the dusting supplies area. I just pour it into a tupperware, dunk the project, wipe off excess, and let it dry on some old cardboard. To give it a glossy, or protective finish, look for a clear acrylic spray. I find these have much less odor than others. I also find that if I spray them when the wife and kids are out of the house, I hear far fewer complaints.

When you click the Forum tab, it's on the right. It only shows up on the main forum page. If you don't see it, the sidebar might be collapsed. Look at the far right of the blue bar that says "town square". You'll see a grayed out arrow. If you hover over it, it will turn black. Click that and it will expand your sidebar. The sidebar holds some cool stuff, like the Shout Box, the Calender, recent topics, and recent uploads to the gallery. Once you step into a subforum or a thread, the sidebar isn't there. BTW, a lot of those widgets on the right can also be closed by clicking the little X in the corner instead of collapsing the entire sidebar. They don't go away completely, but they do collapse.

I use a premade frame. I leave the glass in so I don't have to dust it. I use black felt behind the cutting, then use the cardboard backer that came with the frame to hold it all together. I just sandwich everything together and the pressure of the clips holds everything in place. Good Will you can find some nice frames. Keep a can of black spray paint on hand in case you need to paint any black (I'm partial to black frames). You can also use some moldings from a home improvement store. Get a cheap handsaw and miter box and you can make some frames yourself.

Oh, I didn't make it...I just flipped the switch to on.

I spray too. I usually like using an acrylic spray. I think Krylon makes it, but I could be wrong. The acrylic smells a lot less.

I like to pour my oil in a disposable roasting pan or tupperware and dunk my project. Then I just wipe off the excess. I'll let it drip dry on a bed of nails (ir those painter's pyramids). I haven't done it with tung or danish oil, but it works with mineral oil and lemon oil. I like using the tupperware so I can seal it without having to pour it back into the bottle.

It's just a brief posting area. Think of it as a public instant messenger (kinda like twitter). Usually it is used for stuff that doesn't need a whole lot of interaction or importance. The posts aren't archived like regular forum posts. I use it for announcements, reminders, etc. Other members use it to say happy birthday, well wishes, updates, or to say they're in the chat room. It's there for everybody to use if they want to say something brief. It's just one extra feature that can be fun and informative.

We got a couple more submissions. Special thanks to our contributors so far: Trip Don R Jesse smitty0312 Birchbark bobscroll Phantom Scroller also donated some great Christmas plaques. We won't include them in the eBook, since that's for ornaments only. But I uploaded them to the Pattern Library. Check them out when you get a chance! Great for some holiday decor. 2 more designers! Who will it be!? Will it be you?
-
This is awesome! We got 4 ornament submission so far! The designs submitted are great. I can't wait for you guys to see them. If we can reach 8 designers this year, that would be 40 new ornament designs we can add to our eBook! It's a lofty goal, but I think we can make it. We're already half way there!

Under your name at the top right, click that and you'll get a pulldown. Choose My Settings, then click Email & Password tab on the left. Or just click here.

You can put it pretty much anywhere. You don't need the stand. The stand is nice because it's specifically designed for it, but certainly not necessary.
