jbrowning Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 So I'm done with horses and elephants at the time. I have a dozen Christmas ornaments I will be cutting out today theeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn onto trying to do a Schwibbogen piece(s). Does anyone know of a website that explains how to do this (step by step) and does anyone have a suggestion on a good beginners pattern for me to do first? Thanks (back to the IGGY and JTTHECLOCKMAN show) Just jokin' all in good fun. At some point JT I'm going to want to try and make a clock someday.

savethebeer Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hello Jim. Volkers German site is http://www.va-holzkunst.de/ and includes English version pages and instructions. I know there is an American Volker site but I cant find the address. Failing all that you could try Pinterest for lots of ideas [but no tutorials that I could find]. I do have some free downloaded patterns but I cant find the address that I downloaded them from. However there was no tutorial so I'm going to wing and see if I can put a Schwibbogen all together by myself. If you decided to build German Pyramids you can start here is a tutorial; http://vividcognition.blogspot.ie/2009/12/christmas-pyramid.html#!/2009/12/christmas-pyramid.html If you decided to go down a different road [but still Continental] You could use this tutorial for a winter villages. It includes print off buildings etc for your displays http://www.christmas-village-displays.com/ Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 This is the U.S. site. It is where I purchased my patterns. They come with English instructions. http://woodyoubelieveshop.blogspot.com/p/patterns-on-cd.html WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I was going to suggest Arnold's site but that has been done. Sue Mey has a few on her site also. I have the Angel Arch one I got from one of the magazines, either SSW or Creative Woodworks. They are fun to do and people seem to really like them.
