Just a reminder, please not to share patterns you didn't design yourself. If they're from a book, there are copyrights attached to those patterns. Instead, point them in the direction where they can obtain the patterns for themselves. This is also true for patterns from other websites and digital products. Even if they're free patterns, many times the artist wants to control how their hard work is distributed. We want to respect the designer's wishes and support the artists that make these wonderful patterns. There are times when the designer has passed away and the patterns are no longer available for purchase. It may seem like copyrights no longer pertain or we may want to extend their legacy by sharing their work. Unfortunately, copyrights still do persist 70 years beyond the designer's death. The rights are transferred to his/her estate. It is up to their estate as to what they want to do with the designs. Also, please remember that I'm just a solo guy who runs SSV on the side for the scrolling community. I try hard to make this a friendly place with a ton of great information and resources. We have a fostered a group of really great people who want to be helpful. Sometimes we don't think anything of sharing a pattern with a fellow scroller. But please keep this in mind. We can't use SSV as a platform to share patterns that don't belong to us. A single letter from a cranky lawyer could potentially shut down the whole website. So I try to be diligent about protecting copyrighted works. SSV is a big place and I can't see it all. If you see something that doesn't belong, please flag it for review (the 3 dots under the upper right corner). Clayton or I will take a closer look. Thank you for understanding.

Hi, Scroll saw village! My name is Hans and I am a scroll saw pattern designer . I just graduated from college and I wanted to use my degree to be helpful to the community. I started The Holz Brothers, a service to allow scrollers to personalize their patterns before downloading them. Here is the most customized scroll saw pattern of 2019 Before I created this website, I didn't see a lot of people using custom patterns because they are expansive, or hard to design, and it made me sad. I strongly believe making stuff by hand should allow personalization. So, I was thinking that if I can teach the computer how to make custom patterns, they wouldn't need to be so expansive anymore. Also, I believe making sawdust is more fun than sitting in front of Inkscape for most people. I design all the patterns myself in San Diego, California You can check my shop page on The Scroll Saw Village Shop Section or directly visit https://theholzbrothers.com Let me know which pattern is your favorite please so I keep doing similar patterns! Also, feel free to mention me anywhere on Scroll Saw Village using @Hans Holz if you need help with anything! I try to be responsive. Thank you all for reading! And of course: Have fun making custom sawdust! -- Hans Holz

Halloween is over and Christmas is right around the corner. Scrollers are starting to think about gifts and patterns to cut for loved ones. But since the Holiday season is also about helping others in need, we're continuing our tradition here at Scroll Saw Village as a way to give back. This will be our 8th year of publishing an e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. This popular e-Book was featured in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine. Our ornaments designs are exclusive to this eBook and designed by SSV members. Anyone are can download the ebook in exchange for a donation to their favorite charity. Our hope is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes, and provide some cool patterns at the same time. But we need your help! I'll need some volunteers to design some ornaments. Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less) I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book) They have to be designed specifically by you (no posting other people's patterns) Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by Wednesday, November 22rd (info below) A few things to keep in mind: Religious and secular designs are accepted. Other religions/traditions also celebrate this time of year, so lets not forget them. Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. Don't submit copyrighted or licensed patterns. The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think. Get them to me ASAP. What do you get in exchange? Credit for your design. The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) or PM me. Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & White only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook. I'll also accept Inkscape files (SVG). This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way there is no conversion.

People keep giving me things they don't want anymore at the ware house.It's great because i can get a few bucks for them on offer up.But the last load they just put anywhere knowing i struggle to do anything so there it sits for days,Well on my way to ER the 8 th time when i closed the door and avalanche of stuff came down.i couldn't deal with it then but when i got home i found the worst had happened.2000 patterns all sorted had made it's way to the floor from a giant roll of 7'x1/4"x1.5 'round foam someone gave me.I spent hours after i got sleep from the 2 ER's. .So the good part was i've found great patterns to keep loading up my friends store with as i see i need 3 tires on my car all of the sudden.?

Thanks

We have about a 12x12 piece of live edge walnut that we want to scroll saw a deer head or deer design in to attract buyers at a local hunting show. Any suggestions? We would also accept a big bass or an eagle.

Some where I read about of formula for calculation the % of reduction by dividing the width of the pattern by the width of the board or something like that. Does someone know this formula or do you know where I can find it. TIA Tino

Hello, I'm from Missouri. I have been doing scroll saw and fret work since I was about 7 years old. My grandpa taught me in his wood shop on weekends and in the summers. Everything we did came from patterns he acquired as a young boy. They came from Schroeter Bros. Hardware Co, St. Louis, MO. Up until almost a year ago I had the original catalog and every pattern they offered at the time (about 1910). I stumbled across this site while searching for a way to replace the patterns because I lost everything when my home burned. The patterns were everything from simple silhouettes to intricate jewelry boxes, and even a 36" high cathedral clock. I managed to salvage parts of some patterns and a few partial pages from the original catalog. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if someone could direct me to where I could find and purchase all of them again. However, if that is not an option, if anyone would be interested in (or could refer me to) someone who would be able and willing to take on the daunting task of recreating the patterns from photos and the pieces I have salvaged that would be great as well. I do not have a single artistic bone in my body when it comes to drawing. I would be more than willing to pay someone. I just want to be able to pass on what I was taught to my son and grandchildren in the future. I have attached photos of 2 of the completed pieces. Thank you in advance for any help. Vikki

How can I get a pattern for a User Gallery project? (basketball/dolphin)

I really dislike people taking credit for someone else's work, and I called one member out about doing it about a month ago. I didn't know if I should have done so, but no one else mentioned it not being his. What I would like to know is, what should be done when I see this happening? The reason I ask is, that I was checking out the new patterns folder and saw where one person is taking credit for another persons work again. It's the pattern that is titled *title redacted* and it was posted and claimed by *name redacted*, but, I know for a fact that the pattern was designed by a fellow that goes by the handle of Oily. I have a copy of the pattern that I downloaded in 2010, on another site and it had Oily's name on it back then. So, what would you do? Len

For all of you pattern hoarders: Go to your pattern folder on your computer. Right Click your patterns folder and select Properties. This will list how many files are in your folder. Then post your number. Me? 1,372

One of my favorite actors/comedians died today. Robin Williams has died at the age of 63. You can find the news story here. He was a major part of my youth. He had the talent to make you laugh no matter what, and his dramatic roles were equally impressive. He had his struggles, and I'm sad to see him go. I thought it would be nice if we could come up with some patterns to remember this amazing comedian. Be sure to post your patterns to the Pattern Library and link to them in this thread. RIP Robin. You'll be missed.

Here is the reason why your holes should be cut at 90 degrees and not with a hand drill. The holes come out the other side and you can't cut the pattern. See we all make mistakes that's how we learn. It was a day I thought I'd be clever and just drill the holes with the drill instead of my pillar drill. oops. Roly
