Does this help you Kevin?? http://online.rapidresizer.com/make-name-patterns.php or how about this http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/25696-scrollsoni-font/

Thank you I just ordered a couple things from there.

I am throwing this question out there in case someone has come in contact with a pattern maker that makes 3D train patterns with alot of detail. Not looking for a portrait style pattern but something with depth and looks like the real thing. If my memory serves me well I think I have seen something like this but can not think where or who may have done it. I figured this would be a good place to start looking. Thanks.

That came out really nice. A combination of different skills and you are talented in all fields. Thanks for showing.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and glad you like my latest projects. I love scrolling but most important love creating.

Right now that is your space Mark. I do not belong on line. People are always texting and have to say my chiropractor was telling me the other day there will be and he has seen it an increase in his business because of people's necks going out of wack. Where we have come as a society and their phones is disgusting and disturbing. Will come up with something and if not I can always fall back on the design I use now.

I have been giving some thought into revamping my display methods for next years shows. I usually have a few tiered shevles for my baskets that I display. I then have a backboard that I hang all my wall hanging projects and the rest of the projects I lay out on the tables. There are certain secret rules in selling at craft shows and basically anywhere in stores and one is put your best stuff eye level and this usually commands top dollar in the retail markets. People have a tendency to basically look straight ahead and the looking down and up is not a huge occurrence. Over the years I have noticed this to be so true. I always am talking it up at my shows encouraging people to look all over. But being I have alot of product and adding more now it gets crowded on the table and people overlook things. I had to point things out to a few folks and glad i did because it led to sales. I figure if I add shelves I can show things in a less crowded way. But my thoughts are I have basically stopped selling certain items that I hang on the walls and will try to sell these off in other manners. I want to eliminate the board system and go with all tiered shelving system. I can make something I am sure but thought I would throw the question out there and look for suggestions. What do you all use to sell items on a table??? Do you stack shelves and display that way?? Do you have a system that breaks down easily?? Did you make it or buy commercial?? Can you post photos and a little description of what it is. Thanks.

That is actually a pure copper coin that has the OHM'S Law for direct current and alternating current on opposite sides. It is a set of rules that basically all electricians follow when calculating circuits and electrical loads. I did not make it but just added to the display. Each owner gets one.

One more suggestion if I were doing this i would do the glue up on top a piece of wax paper so the glue does not stick to it. i also would have the wide opening on the bottom. Easier to slip a rubber band or two around the smaller end.

No in my opinion. Nothing stronger than fresh wood glue. Hide glue could be but messy. It is just 2 joints so I believe you do not need more open time or else I would suggest Titebond III. As I said the tape will help you not worry about getting glue where you do not want it.

All projects look great and I really like the snowmen. I do know about the cramming things in on short rest but you did well. Thanks for showing.

Dan thank you very much. I tried to show off all the work the pattern makers helped me with and this lead to needing to do quite a few posts but they deserve the recognition. I love scrolling and creating things and hopefully have a few more good years left to share my ideas and projects with you good people. Thanks again.

I wear basically the same one. Different brand. http://www.amazon.com/3M-8511PB1-Particulate-Respirator-10-Pack/dp/B0002YKBV2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543801160&sr=8-3&keywords=face+mask+for+dust I basically wear it all the time in the shop if doing any cutting. I have an air cleaner system set up so that helps. I use a dust collector at the source for large chips. They are not efficient for dust collecting perse. Never used a vac on any scrollsaws but some people swear by them but that noise for hours would ruin my ears and then I need ear protection Like suiting up to go to space to enjoy a hobby.

He I am still looking for a rain coat.

My suggetion is to tape off the edges close to the break with painters tape so that when you apply glue it will not seep out to surrounding area and will affect the look of the wood. You will not be able to sand it all out. I would do this on all edges. I then would use carpenters yellow wood glue. I like Titebond 2 for this. I then would use rubber bands for a clamping method. Good luck.

Thanks Paul. 3 months worth of work to create some inventory for my shows. I looked to add a few new items and these were them.

Now the rest of these photos are of projects that I used some of Steve Goods patterns and some of my own design or a combination of. I will see how many they allow me to upload here. I want thank again all the pattern makers and for all of you who took the time to look in and check my latest out. I love scrolling and making things that are different. Hopefully you approve and any comments and questions are always encouraged. Thanks again.

Next up Russell (BIRCHBARK) This pattern maker is one I used many patterns from before and again he stepped up to help me with quite a few here as well. Thanks Golfer, I lost my original pattern and he was able to create basicall the same one for me Carpenters Plane House electrical chord clock Plumbers wrench

Next up Paul (GRANDPA) He help in the design of the IBEW symbol which I had a few to choose from. I went with his because of the ability to scroll the letters. This was my biggest want of all patterns because being a IBEW member for 43 years I thought about this clock for awhile when I retired. Big thanks goes out on this one.

Next up JIMERN He designed the crossing lighting bolts for me I used in a project I created but combined a couple pattern makers help.

Next up Tim (WORBLER) Carpenter (made the 2 saws crossing) Carpenter with plane, square, and scribes Sheet metal worker clock and the sheet metal symbol

OK I really do not know how to do this both to give credit for the pattern makers, also to show off my work, and to finally not bore you all but I will try and hopefully the site will allow for this. It will be a lengthy post so pull up a chair and get some popcorn. I first want to thank the pattern makers here that do such a great job and in particular and I hope I am not leaving anyone out and if I am please please accept my apology. Over this past year I began changing some projects in my inventory and I need help with some patterns so I asked here and had gotten help from Tim (WORBLER) , JIMERN, Bob (BOBSCROLL), Paul ( GRANDPA), Russell BIRCHBARK) and also many from Steve Good who I am not sure ever looks in here, and again if I missed someone please mention something if you see a project I made and did not give credit. Not my intention to leave anyone out. I will start with the know pattern makers and then just post finished projects. All got great reviews at the show my hats off to you pattern makers for the help. I also want to mention I probably took your pattern and incorporated in some manner to make a project that had my vision and taste added to it. Thanks again and let the show begin. I see I can not do this the way I wanted so I will have to make individual postings. Bear with me. Bob ( BOBSCROLL) Irish napkin holders and also Irish plaque Iron worker clock

That came out real well. Is this a pattern of yours or is it available for purchase somewhere?? Would like to do this.Thanks.

I buy materials from various sources over the years. Mainly hardwoods come from a dealer around by me. I am able to pick my own lumber. But his woods are top quality so it is very easy. I get both domestic and exotics from him. I use to have a couple place like this but a fire has put one dealer out of business. I also buy on line for specialty woods from various place and Cooks Woods is one. I hardly ever use Home Centers woods any more. They are over priced by alot. I will by construction woods such as plywood but that is not for crafts but maybe for jigs or other home projects.

I too finished a show and agree the economy may have hit a turn for the better. Glad to see you as well as others doing well this craft show season. I can relate to inventory thing because you never know what the big seller will be one year to next. I ran out of a few things myself.I will make more and try again next year. Thanks or posting results. It helps other crafters doing this or thinking about doing them.
