I've got about 60 scroll saw magazines with about 1000 patterns, so I recently made a spread sheet that lists the names of the patterns and a key word, so I can locate a pattern easier. If someone's looking for a pattern in a mag, let me know and I might be able to save you a little time.
I rarely have the time to look on the site (or post, which is why I'm still a Newbie) so you may want to send me an email.
Take care,
Bill

Thanks Bill,
It's nice to know we have someone to turn to.
I know cataloging something like this takes many hours, I've did it for other things.

Bill,
That's a great idea and exactly what I want to do. I want to add a photo as well.
My questions for you are these:
Which magazines and years did you do?
What software did you use?
Thanks

Hi,
I just used Excel because I work with it all the time at my day job, and it's easy to use the search feature. I've been subscribing to Creative Woodworks and Scroll Saw for almost 3 years now, and I've also got some old back issues when I purchased one of those "grab bag" specials I saw advertised once.
It took a total of about 15 hours to input everything. I didn't do pictures. That thought's too overwhelming. :)

Wow, thanks for the offer Bill. I have several years of those same magazines. I just went through them looking for a couple of patterns I remembered seeing and wanting to cut. Time consuming.

Thanks Bill for the offer. I am sure it will come in handy for some of our members. :)

Bill:
I would like to take you up on your offer. A friend sent me the attached ".jpg". He said he saw it on Etsy.com under Scroll Saw. I looked and couldn't find it but I was wondering if the pattern is in your spread sheet list.
Thanks for the offer and trouble we will put you through.

Sam,
I looked up both squirrel and chipmunk and, even though I did find one of each, neither was the one pictured. The squirrel was in intarsia project, the other was a chipmunk in the April 2010 issue of Creative Woodworks and Crafts. It's pretty cute. Is in un-manly to say a chipmunk is cute?

Bill: Thanks for the reply and sorry for putting you through some work.
I recently purchased Coyote Stencil Shop. I am having a lot of problems learning it but converting the squirrel might be a good project and help me learn how to use the software.

Bill - No it's not unmanly to say a chipmunk is cute. It is, however, unmanly to question manliness. We'll let it slide this time though. ;) :P :D

My Janet, you are quite the expert!

Janet, my wife wants to give you a high-five. Okay, I'm going back to making sawdust.
