Yours truly,
Lawrence Hertzman

Suggest you contact Chris Messman, a member who does the coolest scroll saw work that I know of. 

Here is one link that relates to him and a scroll saw forum:

    http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/me...fo&u=13013

To see a few examples of his work, look at this link:

First off, welcome to the forums, please drop down to new members area and introduce yourself
Secondly, in the upper right corner of your OP (original post) you will see an alert button. I suggest you click on it and ask admin to remove your personal information such as address, member # etc. never I good idea to post that for the world to see.
We have a PM system here where if anyone wants to contact you they can click on your name and then send a PM (private message) to you, or click on the white envelope below your user name.
Another member that comes to mind for great scrollsaw abilities is EZgoing, I'll shoot him a message to have him read this thread.
Below are a couple links to help you navigate and understand the forums, and how they work.

Too late for me to edit now, so let me add I'm sorry to hear about your long hospital stay and hope you are recovering nicely.
I've been running in and out of the house today between priming and caulking to get away from the heat for a few minutes at a time, and that rushing around isn't the greatest atmosphere for intelligent posting on my part. That's my excuse for today anyway, I'll have to come up with a new one for tomorrow.

Lawrence welcome to the site. What type of patterns are you looking for? I have designed a number of patterns over the years and I may have something you could use. It has been pointed out that you can buy patterns, but I would strongly suggest that you look free first, why spend money when you don't need to. Just let me know what you are looking for and I will point you to the right site if I don't have it.
