WELCOME
SCROLLERS!!

This area was created for you to get a quick overview of what kind of information the site contains and what you can see and do on the site.

When you first logged on to the site you noticed that there was a What's New screen with the picture of the week on it. Below that are where the most recent message board posts are listed. To the right of the screen, the most recent pictures that were added to the site are shown, and to the left is a long menu to jump to certain areas of the site at any given time.
 
The text menu to the left of this screen is the meat and potatoes of the site.
The What's New text will always take you back to the start screen.
 
First we will start with the FREE PATTERNS area that most scrollers frequent on the site. It contains free patterns that were created by the members of this site. Unless otherwise stated on the patterns you can print them out and use them to create a finished piece.
 
The next items on the menu are:
 
PLEASE READ-Welcome and rules and regulations that govern this site.
This site lists all of the boards like this.
The General board is for everyday talk that will not fit under any topic boards below.
A place to talk about tools for the scrolling shop.
Share your experiences and input on craft shows here.
Learn a good tip or technique? You can share it here.
Get feedback on blades, wood, etc.on this board.
Need help with a pattern? Post your message here.

 

These are all individual message boards that contain information on the topic title of the board. If you are looking for information on a type of wood you would post your question on the Blades/Wood/etc. board and a member will help you out with it by responding to it. If you have a question on tools you would use the Tool Talk board and so on. The information is stored there and will help other scrollers as the information grows.
 

Please do your best to post your messages in the topic boards that best cover the topic that you discuss.
This catagorizes the information and builds a database for future scrollers that have the same question. Instead of looking all over the site for their answer, they can just look in one or two areas.

The next areas on the menu are the:
 
This is a message board to tell members the latest pictures you have added to your album or patterns you have posted. Remember that you can always click on any members screen name in a message to be taken to their profile. The profile shows the four latest picture posts that has been posted.
This is where members place examples of their work in their own photo album. There is information in the Help & FAQ's page to help you start up your own album.
This is a list of the members that have albums on this site and the SSPPhoto 2 site. If you know the members screen name and want to jump right to their album, go here and click on their album name and it will take you right to their album. The email of some of the members are there as well.
(If you create an album on either site, please let the moderators know so your album can be added to the index)

Pattern Making Tips & Tricks  - As the name implies, links to posts, documents and Websites related to making your own patterns.
 
 

The main chat session is held every Thursday nite between 8:00 and 9:00pm. EST on the SAW-online website. A link to that site is on the What's New page. There is a link on the What's New page for instant chat if anyone cares to use it.
 
The Links area takes you to other sites to help you even more with scroll saw information and to show you some personal websites that the members have set up. You may also use the table of Other Links on the What's New page to navigate to other sites connected to this site such as SSP Merchandise (where you can purchase things with our logo) and the Patterns for Sale (to visit the Designers Advertising site).

Finally there is the  Help & FAQ page, where you can hopefully get some insight to problems that you have with the site or technical assistance that we have found on most related issues that have come up with the operation of this site. If you have a problem with anything on this site, please feel free to post your question or email the moderators.


We hope this board gives you a good head start and you will have an idea of whats in the site and what you can do on it. As any good website this one will constantly go through small changes to make things the way its members wish it to be. Enjoy your stay and dive right in.

Note:

There are multiple message boards on this site to keep information categorized so the same information is not repeated as often. If you are a new scroller click on the message boards to the left and look for common topics that may answer your question before you even ask.
