Jronn65 Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) I was wondering if anyone has viewed this book? Is it worth the price? Edited September 21, 2023 by Jronn65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I have not viewed that particular one, I have in the past purchased a couple of their books. That was several years ago. They seemed pretty confusing to me, a zip file when unzipped had plans that were several pages and some what confusing then there was a folder of pictures of the items. Some were in German some in english. I made a couple. Not too bad, but it took me some thinking. Maybe they are better now. I am a big fan of the Schwibbogens, like to make them. A little hard to store from year to year. Jronn65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it's high for a used book but I did see it offered on eBay for 60. It doesn't show a preview so I'm just wondering if it's a story of schwibbogen or a book of patterns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I've always gone with Volker Arnold patterns for this type of work: https://woodyoubelieveshop.com/shop/ Jronn65, Rolf and munzieb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 The language is a non issue for me, But the price $25 and it only has 2 patterns NOPE. As Paladin said Volker Arnold is my go to. His Crescent ornaments have paid for many of my tools. Jronn65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronn65 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 so no one knows what's in this book? Is Rolf correct? It only has 2 patterns in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I also bought Volkers book of 21 and did several of the Schwibbogens and they are very nice. He also has some pyramids but they are large. Jronn65 and Rolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I purchased books 15, 16 and 17 many years ago, from the woodyoubelieve shop and they were "Ebooks". That came in ZIP files. munzieb and Jronn65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about the book or any others by this company. However, in answer to your question on if Rolf is correct, I would tell you Rolf is of German lineage and has stated before he understands the language so I would trust he knows what the cover says. I selected the one term that says “2 mit Vorlagenbogen“ and did translate and it indicated it states “two template sheets.” Jronn65 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what it says on the cover in the above picture, It is not clear what they mean when they say template sheets. There may be several patterns on each sheet.?
