schwibbogen?

[JAYJAY]

Hi all,
does anyone out there know where you can buy books or sites with schwib plans in or how to get started with them, i've trawled a good few sites now and drawn a bit of a blank...........and come across a bit of a language barrier, obliviously the majority are in german,
i would eventually like to design my own but at present would like to have a go at some designs that are already proven (i think its a good way to get a feel of layouts and designs that work so i can find a winning formula for the future).
i do know of a really talented german scroll saw artist who had tons of Christmas scroll saw designs on and thought he might have some but buggered if i can think of his name at the mo!! #-o and his designs are very popular and he's a well known guy
any help please with my brain fart or where to visit please guys? :lol:

I adore German Christmas decorations of all sorts, especially pyramids. I've got a couple of patterns I've been meaning to make for years.

Here's a couple of my favourite websites which you might find useful:

If you remember who the designer is that you've forgotten, do tell us. I'd love to know .

that first link was exactly the one i couldn't remember! thanks Gill
Volkner arnold awesome i knew there was one out there with an english site/translation on it, but could i buggery remember the name!!
thanks again bud will be bookmarked from now on!
i agree i think they are simply stunning i'm sure this sort of things gonna be top of my list for the new year as i've been thinking about them for a while now but have been snowed under with tree hangers for this year, i have many ideas which involve low voltage switches and the use of LED's for backlighting....... and my soldering iron skills!! :lol:

Gill can you give me a hand with the 2nd link you've posted? there's a really nice one for free download but i cant seem to figure it out?
sorry to be a pain :?

I'm having problems downloading too . Not sure why and the situation isn't helped by my not speaking German.

 

[JAYJAY]

hehe! no worries mate thanks all the same :lol:

I tried the download link on the second site and was asked to register for the blog first. I declined as my German was not good enough to know what I was signing up for, but it looked as if you simply needed to register before downloading.

I must admit to never having come across schwibbogen before, at least in the refined form that are on that first site of Gill's, they look fairly intersting to cut. I couldn't work out if he sold individual patterns or only a CD's worth though, even using google to translate the page! It looked form the pictures as if they were not all xmas related designes though - are schwibbogen strictly xmas decorations or are they a year round / decorative phenomenon as well?

I've found the American website for Volker Arnold patterns .

It looks as if the website is still a WIP and has been so for quite a while :lol:

Anyone having trouble with the free patterns downloads on the second website, try the following download links:

Laubsägevorlage means: scroll sawing
Figuur zagen means also scroll sawing in Dutch.
Here is Volkers web site:
