    The Wiki on Understanding Copyright is posted. Hopefully it will reduce some of the confusion surrounding this issue so we can all get on with the Scrolling and Pattern Making. Barry

    I created a gallery last night and have some stuff uploaded to it. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/index.php?cat=11953 Barry

    One other thing to consider, is to take a really good look at the blade clamp. Many of the clamps on the value priced saws are made of a small piece of machined metal with a 2 to 4 mm cut taken out of the center. The right side will usually have been drilled and tapped to accomodate the screw for tightening. It's not a bad design, but if blade change requires a wrench of some sort, it's extremely easy to over tighten it. What ends up happening is that a small crack forms at the back of the blade clamp. Every time you tighten the screw, the crack prevents the clamp from holding the blade securely. I had this happen on my first scrollsaw. It all depends on how much material they left after machining the center portion where the blade goes. Barry

    Travis, DVD's and CD's are a great idea! Many people have limited time at a computer each day so going through the lessons is not practical. I think making them available to everyone on a DVD or CD puts the tutorials within reach of everyone. Great thinking. Barry

    Just finished checking out your album Steve, and I've got to say those animals really turned out beautiful. I haven't seen this book before but you can bet that after viewing your work, it's now on my purchase list. Thanks for showing us your work. Barry

    Great job on the Basic Tools page Chris. That should come in handy for any new scroller. Barry

    I did manage to find it at Blackwell's in the UK. It doesn't say it's out of stock, just that it's not available in their local stores. You might want to give them a shot. http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/wel ... id=0&awcr= Hope this helps. Barry

    Glad to hear those FD's are working out for you so well. I've been using the FD 2/0 Spirals for a while now and never even had an issue trying to control them. I've tried the Olsen's 2R blades, and find they dull out within a few minutes of use. I've switched back to FD with no regrets. Barry

    Hi All, Just found the site, don't know how I missed it for so long, but here I am. My name is Barry, and I've been scrolling for about 3 years now and pattern making on and off for about 2. Still looking for a pattern making method that works for my limited artistic ability. Glad to be here. Barry
