John,

I would suggest you send a PM to Terry Quiram...the Master Scroller...

I'm sure he can provide some answers for you.

Have you tried doing a Google search? Patterns are a tricky thing, there are copyrights involved etc. Even if you buy the pattern you may be limited in the number of items you can produce... Depending on what you are looking to scroll, my wife has used coloring books, cookie cutter outlines, or any number of line drawings could be used... Best of luck.

OK thanks.. ...John

Why Dennis you sweet talker! :D The best place to obtain free patterns is the public library. They will have most of the available pattern books on their shelves. The library here is also on the lending circuit and can get books from all over the country.

Look at Yahoo Group ( groups.yahoo.com ) and MSN Communities ( communities.msn.com ). Both places have scrolling groups and most of those have free patterns that people have made. One of the best is Gary Browning's MSN community. I don't recall the exact name off the top of my head.

Oh yeah I almost forgot... Join SAW I think it's 15 bucks... You get a mag and if there is a local chapter people do exchange patters there :)

There is another forum that I frequent that has a very active Scrollsaw section. Not trying to advertise another forum, but just trying to get you to where you can get the best answer for your question "JustWoodworking" There is guy there that is one heck of a scroller William Young from Canada and he just might be able to help you.

The other replies also are excellent sources for you. I just use photographs from magazines a lot for my scroll patterns. Also you can join up with the Winfield Collection pattern club (~$12.00 per set, 4 sets per year) and they have a bunch of scrollsaw patterns and other craft-style patterns in them.

Hi Kurt . Thanks for the compliments. I just joined this site and it looks real nice. Maybe if we talked to the administrator real nice he /she might add a scrollsaw forum just for us folks that are hooked on scrolling and like to exchange our experiences with other scrollers.

Bill & Mike,

Glad to see ya over here.

Mike,
The Flying Dutchman scrollswa blades you sell are awesome.

Bill,
They will not likely add a seperate scrollsaw forum, the turners were looking to do that and it was the general concensus that it is good to keep all aspects of woodworking in the general area so that we all can learn from each other the different genres of woodworking and it seems that it is working as a lot of "Flat" guys are turning out pens and stuff and a lot of "Turny" guys are making furniture.

Me, I own a a couple of lathes and a few scrollsaws and way too many flat tools to mention and I kinda like the vaariety. I have been looking at quite a few different forums to accomplish that and it would be great to have them in just one forum.


Anyway, welcome aboard, join up and have a great time with a great bunch of people.

Mike;
It is quite easy to post a picture here.
When you are in reply mode, just look above your message and on the two coloful icons , you will find that one is for a live link and one is for pictures. Select the one that that says insert image. Then a box will appear in the top left corner of your screen to insert the address url of your picture. It may ask for it the second time in which case, be sure to backspace out the http:// before inserting your address url . and then just like magic your picture will appear :p
Here's a picture of my Dome Clock.

I am new to the forum,

but I have been scrolling now for about three to four years. I started out making one pattern and got very very very good at it. Then I looked for new ones. I suggest the libarary also but if it's like my local libarary you might be saddened to hear they may not have many patterns. Coloring books thats a cool idea new thought of that. Guess that could work. If your looking for anything specifc I suggest looking on google or some clipart places online and then playing with the image to make into a better pattern in a photo editor such as Adobe Photshop or something like that. If you need anything specific let me know I am always looking for new stuff so who knows I might stumble upon something you need.

ps: Some patterns have limitations to how many you can make but if you read the limitations some say "Any finished project is your original work and is not subect to copyright". Just make sure to read the limitations

You should be able to take any normal photograph and edit it a bit to get a pattern that might be scroll-sawable, I would think. I did some edge-enhancing and contour-mapping to this one (okay, fancy talk, I click two buttons that did this).

Does this work? This pic is from Greece.

Why not try and Google Steve Good and I think you'll get all the patterns you want there ...MB
