Travis Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi everybody. I'm working on putting together a listing of pattern vendors. I'm building it in a similar way as I did the Clubs & Organizations section. I'd like to tag pattern makers by the type of work they do. So I'm trying to put together a broad list of types of scrolling. I can use your help. What other categories of scrolling am I missing or should add to the list? Here's what I have so far: Fretwork Portraits Intarsia/Segmentation Inlay/Marquetry Lath Art Compound Cutting Puzzles Toys Home Items Signs Thanks for your help! amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 outdoor stuff might be a category, fun bird houses and yard art are fun projects to make. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I'm thinking of the projects which the use of the scroll saw is secondary. Yes, a scroll saw is used for some aspect of the item, but that aspect is secondary. One word that springs to mind for this is "Embellishment". These shelves that I made last year for a great nephew might qualify as one such project: Edited January 4, 2018 by Frank Pellow amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimErn Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 So if I understand what you are wanting to do, you will have a vendor listed in multiple categories? Clocks are another category amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I'm trying to figure out how this is going to work and wonder if we've mis-understand you... for instance the categories that have already been suggested could fit into many categories.. for instance Clocks, ornaments, and the other categories could all fall under Fretwork, compound cut, lathart etc etc.. which could get very complicated.. so I'm trying to understand what you are trying to accomplish.. before I can suggest anything..that isn't already there..

Frank Pellow Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 MY assumption is that an individual item could fit into more than one category. That's the only way I can see this working well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 The trick is to get it broad enough to cover areas where people will be searching for types of patterns, but not so broad that the bucket becomes generic. Clocks is a good example. There are some folks who really like clock patterns. So they would be looking for vendors that do clocks patterns. Technically, it would fall under fretwork, but they'd have to sift through a lot of sites before they come across clock patterns. So for example, Wilckens Woodworking specializes in clock patterns. So their entry would include the categories: fretwork, clocks. Charles Dearing specializes in portraits. So he would be categorized as: fretwork, portraits. Steve Good does all kinds of things, so his categories might be: word art, baskets, puzzles, toys, home items, decor. I don't want a huge list of scrolling types, but enough to give others enough information to that pattern designer's offerings. It'll be a checkbox style entry where you check all that apply. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 We had a few posts about Schwibbogen type patterns in the last couple of months. It might be too specific, but something to consider. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crupiea Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Never heard of Lath Art. I looked it up and its pretty cool. Might have to make some. Thanks amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 less!Hi, Travis, Word art was already mentioned which you may be including in Signs. Another category could be Utilitarian unless you are labeling that as Home Items. Thanks for always trying to make the site fresh and user friendly and a big thanks for asking for input from the members. God Bless!

Silver Sliver Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Another one is an underappreciated "log Art" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerJay Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Is this going to work into a searchable list of end products? i.e. if I wanted to check out available fretwork patterns of hummingbirds across all pattern makers - would that be doable? Thanks, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jay It won't be that elaborate. Just a category listing of pattern vendors with reviews. If you're into compound cutting, you can find them and see that Diana Thomas and Sue Mey make compound cutting patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
