Brag Forum / Illinois State Fair

« on: August 29, 2022, 01:15:01 am »

My entries from the Illinois State Fair have been returned. There are only 6 classes in the Woodworking section and you are allowed only 1 entry per class. So I bent the rules a little and entered a set of 5 Christmas Tree Ornaments - all scroll sawed in the Holiday Crafts section. The Nativity scene is an adaptation of a Steve Good design. Steve's pattern has 5 layers. I added 5 additional layers to give it some depth. Also, I hope to be able to add some LED fairy lights before Christmas. The Christmas Tree Ornaments only have 1 Steve Good pattern, but they all were tricky.

This is an old Steve Good pattern that I had forgotten about.  Some nicely figured cherry.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Arpop

« on: November 18, 2020, 12:33:16 am »

For those of you who don't know, there are a few other sources for scroll saw patterns. None as good as Steve's. His is the gold standard. But I used to go to Arpop as well:

http://fssp-arpop.blogspot.com

The problem is I haven't been there for a few years. Life just got in the way and I didn't go back. Well, now I'm trying to get back and there is a problem. No, I haven't forgotten my password. Nothing that simple. It's just that Arpop doesn't recognize ME! The site keeps trying to use my gmail account, which is one I didn't have when I was accessing the site. I don't think I even had a Google account at that time. Anyway, I thought I could just send him an email and maybe he could check his records and let me in. I've tried everything I can think of to find a way to contact him for the last couple of months and I've got nothing. It's not that I don't know my way around the Internet. I was on the Internet when it was the Arpanet and I spent 30 years working on and with computers and networks. But, honestly, I could contact Queen Elizabeth II on her private email easier than I contact Arpop. So I am putting out a request for anyone who has access to Arpop to see if they can find a way that I could be invited back into his good graces. If anyone can help me out, I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

Ask Steve a question. / Stealth Pattern

Steve,
I've been trying to find this pattern. I'm pretty sure it is yours since it is on the first page of your catalog, but I have searched for every term I can think of, nativity, arch, shadow, even tryptich. No luck. Can you point me to where I can find it? Thanks.
