That's a really good idea. I'm going to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Are you watching these online, or downloading them? These should be in pretty good resolution. But I guess it depends on how big you're blowing it up. You can find these videos on YouTube as well (http://www.youtube.com/scrollsawgoodies). You can choose which resolution you want. Please don't delete posts. It throws the entire conversation out of context. There's no such thing as a trivial question in the Village.

Seems to work fine for me. You can try this link: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=4114

Welcome to the Village. We're glad you found us. Lots of friendly folks here to talk shop with. I think you'll have a great time here. Anyway, welcome aboard. Jump on and have some fun!

Never really heard of them. The machines seem really fiddly. The speeds are adjusted by belt drives. I'd rather have a dial to control my speeds. The exposed belt drive seems like a safety concern as well. Plus, I'm guessing you'd have to replace the belts on occasion too. The blade changing is kinda strange too. Not sure how well I like the idea of removing the bottom blade holder attachment to simply replace the blade. Knowing my luck, I'd lose that blade holder in a pile of sawdust and I'd be out of luck. Plus, I'd want my blade changing to be tool-less. Judging from the video, the machine sounds really loud. For that price, I think I'd stick with the Excalibur. I posted the video below. Here's the website for those interested: http://www.pswood.com/scroll-saws/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YUA9Y6C6RIY

Here's my Fat Slimline. Looks like it's belt is on too tight. But the fat pen is sure nice to write with. Feels much more natural than the thin slimlines I'm used to. Gunna make a bunch of these for the guys at work for Christmas. Wrote about it in my new blog. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/blogs/entry/2-%7B%3F%7D/

Well, I finally got the blogs feature up and going. I'm really hoping this catches on because I think it's a neat option. This is a great place to document your projects, share ideas, and even share your own experiences with the scroll sawing hobby. You could even use this area to document other things, like woodturning, other hobbies, or even family events. If you're new to blogging, think of it as an online journal. You can post your own thoughts, share images from your gallery. It becomes a lot of fun when others are allowed to interact with your blog. There's a lot of different things you can do with it. I encourage you to start your own blog, and check out the settings. This is your own personal corner of the internet. You have a lot of flexibility here. So jump in and have some fun!

I looked around and finally found it. I did that in 2009, so I wasn't sure if I still had it. I updated the original thread. I've also posted the pattern below. Enjoy!

Congrats on the new saw, Ben. I bet you're gunna love your new toy!

Wow. That's pretty impressive! Nicely done.

You can find Flying Dutchman blades at Mike's Workshop. He's a great guy to work with.

Hi Bob. It doesn't seem like anything went through. I ran a test transaction on my end and it seemed to work fine. Give it another try. If you still have trouble, shoot me a PM and we'll figure something out.

Welcome to the Village. We're glad you found us. Lots of friendly folks here to talk shop with. I think you'll have a great time here. Anyway, welcome aboard. Jump on and have some fun!

That turned out really neat. I like the stylized look to it. Nicely done!

That looks great! That design would make a wonderful box lid, too. Nicely done. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

I got this in my inbox and thought I'd pass on the message. I know there are several members that use their patterns. Especially with Christmas coming up.

Wow. Somebody's been busy! Those look great. I especially like the burl ones. Tell her she did an amazing job!

I want to thank everybody for their patience as I whip SSV back into shape after our software move. I've received only positive feedback on the new website. I can already see the benefits of the new software. I love the social interactions and how well all of the sections work together to make a great community experience. I'm still adding features and moving things around, but I think we're off to a great start. I'd especially like to the following members who pitched in to help offset the costs of the $400 software upgrade. Without them, our new community wouldn't have happened. DonR kardar2 captlucky amazingkevin RichB marmoh Docupton wombatie don in brooklin on Clayton717 Lucky2 campasano Please let me know if I missed anybody. Thank you all very much for your help. I couldn't have done it without you. Naturally, there are ongoing expenses in running SSV, including server rental, domain registration, and software licensing fees.

I updated the thread (http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/583-using-adobe-photo-shop/) with the download links. Enjoy!

I don't think the download cart works anymore on the old gallery. We're transitioning to the new gallery, but it'll take some time to move all those patterns.

They seem to work fine for me. I'd make sure you're computer is up to date. Maybe reboot and see if that helps. If not, you can download the movies here: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/1159-village-university-classes/ The bottom two posts have links to the video files so you can play them back offline.

That looks great! Are you going to paint it, or leave it natural?
