Steve Good - Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

We all know Steve Good from Scroll Saw Workshop.  He's arguably the most prolific, and most well known pattern designers in the scrolling community.  He's turned out so many great patterns on a nearly daily basis.  His free pattern library will keep an average scroller busy for years!  Plus, he's very generous when sharing his knowledge and advice.  I think it's safe to say that most scrollers that have been around for a short bit have cut one or more of his patterns.  So I think this month's scroll saw challenge is to post a project you cut with a Steve Good pattern.  When you do, post a little backstory about your project.  Why did you choose that design?  Who did you make it for?  It'll be fun to see what you come up with!

Steve's catalog was the first I found for available patterns when I started scrolling. This piece was actually the second I ever cut and I gave it to my wife who is a dog mom through and through. She was a dog trainer and trained the police dogs for the agency I worked with. I was the firearms instructor and she came to the range wanting lessons. That was how we met. Anyway, the "Dogs Welcome" sign hangs on our front door to this day.

I have done several of Steve Good's patterns. With some knowledge of inkskape you are able to change them up to make them more challenging as you continue your scroll saw journey.  The rose box was a segmented pattern he shared that I thought it would be nice on a box top done in intarsia. The cameo box was a fretwork box that I thought I might try doing it all inlayed.

A couple of windchimes I made back in 2019.  The snowman I still have and use every Christmas.  The Welcome sign I made for a couple girl friends of mine, we were in a crafting group together. The Anita one is for a friend in New York. My eyesight was a lot better back then.

99% of everything I've cut thus far has been Steve Good patterns.
Thank you Steve Good!

I have cut many patterns of Steve's, more so when I first started out, not as much lately.  The Army flag below was for a co-workers son that was in the Army.  I am rather proud of the super straight lines that I cut on this piece... I must have been having a good day in the shop when I cut this.  LOL

I cut many Steve Good patterns, it is a great place to get different patterns when you start with the scrollsaw. I just post a few pics of some of his designs

[Jim McDonald]

I cut a lot of Steve's patterns and can truthfully say that I have learned volumes from reading his posts, watching his YouTube and cutting his patterns.

He has been a great supporter of this hobby and I appreciate all that he HAS done and will do for us.

Here are a couple of recent cuts from older, timeless postings:

Steve's Scroll saw Workshop was the first place I came across when I became interested in scrolling as a hobby.

I have made quite a few of Steve's patterns and as Jim McDonald says above have learned much from him.

These 2 patterns were my first attempts at using more than 1 layer of wood and although I still have much to learn, I was quite happy with the results.

 

[Roberta Moreton]

This it the most recent one of his I have cut.

Here is one of Steve's patterns, I cut sometime back. As most of you know I am a Treekie from way back. I saw this pattern and was In Love. I have it hanging here in my room, and am looking at it as I type. I have done quit a few of Stve's pattern's and will do more.

[Scrappile]

Don't do many of Steve's patterns but I get is daily mail and have a ton respect and gratitude for all he does for the scrolling community.  I did make this for my wife for Valentines one year.  She must have liked it she keeps it on the coffee table year round.

Paul, I was just looking at that pattern to make for my wife for valentines day, you have done an excellent job, RJ

Just a plug for Steve.. I try to donate to him about what I would have to spend on a subscription to a scroll magazine, each year.   I really think I get more from him than I do from the magazines.  It's not Not much money, I agree, but I get more from him than any Scroll Saw magazine I have ever subscribed to...

Biplane cut from Luan plywood. My grandson wanted this and the Luan was the only thing I had available. I figure it would be broken in short order but it is still going after more than a year. It is surprisingly strong.

Toy Airplane Jet Fighter Cut from some random reclaimed plywood. Another one requested by my grandson.

[RabidAlien]

Cut a lot of Steve Good stuff over the years, mostly due to my love for sarcasm or my wife, one of the two.  Sometimes both.   Some of my first layered patterns were a Steve Good patterns, and all of the boxes I've made have been Steve Good patterns.

I love Steve's stick figures!!

Here are just some of the patterns from Steve I have cut:
