Howdy all. I just wanted to point out a section of SSV that some of you may or may not know about. The Articles tab in the navigation window at the top of the screen holds a ton of really great resources and articles. When you click the tab, the first screen shows the most recent articles added to our area. On the right is a list of categories where everything is neatly organized. Whenever I create an article or resource, or if someone puts together a great tutorial, I place them here for easy reference. There is a ton of great material in there. Here are a few things covered in the articles section: Inkscape and GIMP Classes (including the written tutorials) Pattern tutorials for Inkscape, GIMP and Photoshop Lists of clip art and font resources. Lists of great software Beginner Topics Business articles Pattern resources Wood Information Cutting Tips Painting Tips Scroll Saw Manufacturers and Reviews Tool Information We welcome articles and tutorials from our SSV members. Share your knowledge with the rest of us. Even if it's basic information, a new scroller will find it invaluable. If you want to write an article to be included in this section, simply start a forum thread with your article. Try to be thorough and informative. Here are a few article ideas: Pattern Making Tutorials Beginner tips Selling your wares (craft shows, online, social networks, etc) How To for a specific type of scrolling (compound cutting, intarsia, lath art, inlay, etc) Anyway, take a bit of time to browse the Articles section. You'd be surprised how much great information is there. Happy Reading.

I've been fiddling around in the background to put together a new articles section. This is a special section where we have information-driven articles. My hope is to create a really great section full of useful information for new and seasoned scrollers alike. Basically, the articles are nothing more than forum posts that have been bookmarked and organized in a easy to read way. The articles are posts, and the comments are the replies. So if you comment in the articles section, the forum thread will also be updated with your comment (and vise versa). I really like how tightly integrated the articles and forum are. I've already added the pattern making tutorials to the article system. I'll be porting over information from the Wiki and from our old newsletter. I'm also hoping to start writing more articles on specific areas of scrolling, one of which would be a newbie's guide to scroll sawing (but this might take awhile). You'll be seeing a fair amount of posts from me in the forums that look like articles. That's because they are. I'm just moving over articles from the sources I listed above. I hope you enjoy this new section. I have a feeling this will be a valuable asset to SSV. You can read more about the articles section in my blog. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/blogs/entry/4-%7B%3F%7D/
