I thank you all for your advice and I have decided not to display the patterns. I do not want to offend those wonderful designers who have so graciously shared patterns with myself and countless others. I'll figure out another way to share what I have available. Thanks again for your perspectives.

Steve, Thanks for your input it is appreciated and yes it is a shame that people will stoop so low. This is why I have been trying to figure out a workaround that protects the designers and gives the best exposure for the patterns available.

It would be great if I could get some advice from you pattern designers. I have a website like so many of us do and I do a decent amount of sales all over the world from it. I continually get e-mails asking me what other items I have patterns for. Honestly like so many scrollers I'm a pattern aholic. I have 1000's of patterns from many different designers. I'm trying to figure out a way to post some of them on my site without allowing others to steal them and thereby not give the actual designers the credit they deserve. I would of course place a disclaimer that I'm not the creator of the pattern but these other items are available. I have refrained for several years of doing this because I don't want to offend any designer. However in talking to a couple of them they said so long as I was not trying to share the pattern they did not have a problem with it. I really do not have the time or inclination to cut all of these as you can well imagine, in the hopes they will all sell. I need to know how to post them but protect them without going to the trouble of watermarking them or whatever. Can I simply re-size them to thumbnail size? Won't they distort if someone just tries to take the thumbnails and re-size them? I know you can disable right click capabilities but this can be thwarted as well by anyone trying hard enough. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this and keep the patterns safe?

Great job. You only have 51 more for a full deck...LOL

Congrats Dale!

That is a great deal...Thanks I'll be by!

Yes, Hope it is a safe and happy holiday for everyone!

You should be proud and bragging section is definitely the right place. Keep on keepin on! Good luck with the surgery wishing you a full and rapid recovery.

Thanks you 2...I appreciate the compliments!

Very nice presentation. Great looking pattern and a nice idea. Thanks for sharing.

You are very talented. I've tried this technique but I'm not very good at it You rock!

That turned out nice...

Dale, looks nice..Yer daughter is right the paint adds 10 bucks to it...LOL

Small flippin world-- me too...I shipped one and now I've cut out a 2nd one a little different style and it cut really well. Thank YOU! It stands up so much better...

Slow saw speed and slow feed rate. Or it will just get hot and melt and fuse behind the blade...Take your time.

So Dale are the outside edges all the same dimension? Will all 3 layers plus the bottom be glued together. What happened to layer #2? Looks very intriguing...

Hope you like my latest...Thanks Dale they are a breeze to cut!

A friend in Canada has done this. Please use a dust mask as the dust can be toxic.

Share some pics of your wips...you know how we love pics..

Welcome aboard darrell...

That figures right after I share my pic of my daughters invitation...LOL Oh well I didnt' have wip's anyway. Thanks Mike for the sponsorship that is very generous of you!

Thanks everyone...It was fun to make.

Do not forget google images for dog silhouettes...They are all available..

Good for you..perhaps I should do the same thing but I think driving to wv from seattle may be a tad more expensive than shipping...LOL J/k...That has to be a real ego booster for sure.

Their wedding invitation. 1/4" poplar plywood..54 pieces... I hope she likes the surprise!
