Some of the scrollers here who frequent the other forums may have already seen this but I want to make the invite offical for others here who may not have. Sue Chrestensen and I (Chrestensen Burghout Designs) have in the past offered patterns as "challenges" to scrollers. Some might recall our...

I've been busy with cutting some of our more recent Simply Word fretwork patterns for the holidays. When I first posted a sample of this years patterns, I was asked for a couple other phrases. So far, this year, I've captured "Season's Greetings", "I Believe In Santa", "Happy Holidays"...

I really like the models and have yet to give them a try. Some time ago I tried to get the ex involved in them/scrolling and I think I've a couple books on them and some blueprints for a Hummer around here somewhere. I imagine once you get started with the models, it would be a hobby all its...

Sorry for not posting more and I really will try to correct that since I believe this is a great place to have an interest in scrolling. Sue and I have been busy this past summer with other things that took us away from the forums, but with the kids back in school and computers working...

This is going to be rather hard to describe - well, maybe not hard, but I'm sure if you could SEE it done, it would be easier to understand. When you start cutting your circle, perhaps slow the speed so you have a little better control as you feed the wood into the blade. If you are right...

Thanks for the link Mike. This idea surely isn't new as Mike's link will prove. It looks like your friend put a huge amount of work into the whole process. Bob, there is always that possibility. Same as there is with patterns being circulated after they are purchased. Sue and I are well...

Big smile here Gill. I believe it would be a huge time consuming undertaking to start such a "magazine". HOWEVER, if you're interested Gill - count Sue and I in on the talks.... Part of our plans for this upcoming year was to add a "Teachers Corner" to our site. This "teachers corner" will...

Very nice Gill - think that is my favorite of your dance designs! Great work. Take care Toni Oh and my favorite part .... the cutting the pattern.

Steve, I believe it stating the designers name says a lot about a persons integrity. The general public doesn't know that there are patterns for scrolled work and by sharing the name of the designer you are helping them too. Afterall, if the designer wasn't THERE, to start you on the project...

Here is a little more on the Aries Challenge for those who don't design and want to be a little creative. I have added the "Aries"Zodiac Mask Challenge on our website, sorry but I don't know how to add the link ... maybe Gill in her moderator capacity can do this for me.... :oops: Hope this...

Indeed! Neal is an author of a new scrolling book on Wildlife. He's a pretty approachable and helpful guy for anyone who has questions :wink: Take care Toni

Lets not forget scrolling can be the main style of woodworking to complete an entire project. We have several projects on our page and a CD titled, Weekend Scroller 2006 which has several projects on it. They start out simple, personalized keychains and work up to more difficult patterns for a...

LOL, no worries Steve, or Gill.... you didn't step on any toes. I understand your request Steve, but I personally haven't cut the project yet. I have seen two completed so far, and I will get to posting them on our website ASAP. I am not sure if Gill knows the two I am talking about and can...

I am very pleased to see a scrolling section on this forum. :) I often wanted to post but didn't know where. I know, I know... scrolling is REAL woodworking, still Sue and I have often come up against walls when it comes to promoting scrolling and having people see it as a type of woodworking...

Sue and I have been playing some more with incorporating both fretwork and segmentation together in one project. We have recently posted the Celtic Moon on our site, under Celestial designs, which uses both these styles of scrolling. I'd post a photo here but haven't been successful with the...

Good Morning! Big Smile, ah yes I know your famous Gill. LOL. Thank you for the warm welcome. Paul, thank you for your kind comments regarding "Every Woman". She was a particular favorite and created for a cause. Unfortunately she didn't create the stir we had hoped she would to help raise...

Hi Everyone! I just registered in your forum and would enjoy talking with other woodworkers, especially those who enjoy scrollsawing. I am an architectural technologist, big title for the little people who do all the work on the architectural office! LOL. I also enjoy designing woodworking...
