I really feel thankful that I stumbled onto the Scroll Saw Workshop site a year ago. The pattern site is priceless for me. I view it often and download many patterns during the last year. In fact the community forum has become a daily ritual with me. Steve does not charge for the download patterns, this is a wonderful resource for a retired person on a limited pension. I do , however, donate to this site to help maintain it as I would not want it to disappear even though a $25.00 donation in American money translates to $38.00 dollars Canadian. Just a price to do business.The pattern sites that charge rather expensive fees for a pattern and shipping costs rarely get a view from me. It is not unusual for them to tack on extra high fee to ship to Canada. The advertised sites in Scroll Saw Workshop are not gougers and I have no objection to what they charge and the money exchange rate is standard. My buying standard is to first buy Canadian, then American. I do buy my blades from Sawbird, a Canadian distributer of quality blades but am tempted to try the Pegas or Flying Dutchman blades from companies that support Steve's site.
Enough rambling, just really wanted to say hi and thank you for being such a good resource.
