Need Farm Shelf Pattern, too

[Grandpa Joe]

I made this shelf about 20 years ago for my wife’s parents who were farmers.   They are now deceased, Shelf has been broken.  I can’t find the pattern. I saw this while doing a google search for farmer shelves.   Please, if anyone knows where I can still get this pattern, please let me know.

Joe, you must be living right. I just happen to have a book with that pattern. It is titled Scroll Saw Fretwork Patterns by Patrick Spielman & James Reidle. It was published in the late 80's. It is on pages 167-169. Maybe the shelf pattern is on 170. Let me know if I can help you further. Maybe your local library might have it. If all else fails, I can scan the pattern and send it to you. I'm not certain how copyright rules work with making copies.  Jerry

FYI:  Ebay has this book for 4.09.  Might be worth the price.

One more place you might want to look is a used book store. I think that is where I got mine. Have purchased other scroll saw books there.

Welcome to the Village.  I see you joined yesterday. Glad you found us.

Quick search for the book on Amazon turns up a lot of used copies for sale there - many pretty cheap and some with free shipping - worth checking there too if you use Amazon.

Holy crap! Amazon wants 17.66 for the same book that Ebay has for 4.06.  WOW!

That’s the price listed for a “new” book. They also have over 80 used copies starting as low as $3.

Well Jerry beat me to it.  I knew I had the pattern just couldn't remember the name of it.
