I got my copy. Did you?

Sue Mey has started an exciting new venture. She is producing an e-magazine. I purchased my copy and I think she has done a wonderful job of including something for everyone. The patterns alone are worth many times the cost of the download. I hope you support her effort so she can grow this project into something special.

My e-Magazine may not compare to a regular scroll saw magazine, as it does not have the variety and diversity that result from having various designers contribute. However, I do hope you enjoy making some of the projects from the selection of patterns I have assembled here, and that the articles may be found useful, especially by the novice scroll sawyer. There are 16 projects plus 13 ornaments – all new patterns, not available on my website. The patterns range from easy crosses and butterflies for the beginner, to a detailed snowman family made in three layers, and a horse portrait with 58 inside cuts. There are projects for Christmas, and several other items you can make as gifts.
I decided not to offer subscription at this time, but to first see how it goes with the first issue. Most of the patterns included are based on requests and suggestions I received in your feedback. See the table of contents below for more detail on the projects included. Vectors are available on request.
