We did choose the winners - There were about 130 entries and tons of beautiful, creative projects. It was very difficult to make the final selections. We'll be running coverage of the contest in the next issue. In the meantime, I'll check with our publisher to see if we can post something on the website.
Now Grizz not sure if you are just being hard on yourself or the theme of your design was humorus. Would still like to see them. What would be nice is if we could see them before we find out the winners. This way we can pick our own winners and see how they match the judges decisions. What do you think?? Look forward to seeeing the creative minds we have on this site.

That would be fun. I reckon a bit controversial too.
Well, I would like to go on record here as strongly opposed to making all the entries viewable to the general public.
This would indeed make for a heated controversial discussion and that is something that has been avoided on this forum - it is refreshing to have the comraderie found here. Making all entries available to viewing is baiting a huge debat as to personal opinions and the popularity of some members here on this forum.
I trust the people in the know running the competition made their decisions based on specific criteria and look forward to hearing their decision and congratulating the winner.
Good to hear that they'll publish pictures about the contest in the next Magazine, I'm anxious to see the winning projects. I hope that other entrees will also be published in future issues and that the designers might post some of their work..I do believe that it is up to the individuals to share what they submitted and just want them to know that I would Love to see more new projects and designs posted on this forum
I have to agree with Toni.
The publisher has selected winning entries based on their criteria.
I am sure there will be some wonderful winning entries here.
If an entrant did not win and they would like to submit a project to the forum for a critique, that is their choice.
I also think it would be in the entrants best interest to check with the publisher before doing so.
I would think, in the grand scheme of things, many of these patterns will be published whether they won or not.
Give the folks at Fox Chapel a chance to sort through the patterns. We all have lots of projects to do from Issue 22.

"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."
I have seen contests for cabinet making, bowl turning, and many many other contests where all entrys were shown. What is so bad about showing the entrys. If the person did not want them to be seen then they should not have entered. I think you Toni and others underestimate the viewers here. Controversy? Nobody can change the judges decisions. You go to any scrollsaw picnic there are the entrys and the judges pick the winners. The losers don't go knock the judges on the head because they lost. Wow I think that is pretty rough to say that we can't handle the judges decisions. This is just my opinion but.
It would be truly helpful if all publications were to clearly state on each pattern "enlarge pattern by x% for full size" or something like that which would clue the user in. But I'm like Rolf....I change the size of every pattern to get what I want.
I agree with you Mark, I am constantly changing or adapting my patterns to suit my taste or the size of the wood that is available to me. Thinking about electronic versions of the patterns, that would be great. But very hard to control. It amazes me how many people have no scruples about sharing....
Bruce I just looked up the Pegas blade and the Flying Dutchman puzzle blade.
Pegas TPI 28.2 Thickness .087" Width .0236"
FD TPI 31 Thickness .08 Width.023
So the Flying Dutchman is a bit thinner , not sure it would make a significant difference. Three teeth per...
Optical illusion segmentation - simple project. I used birch plywood 1/6 inch, mdf for background and wood stains, also could be made of 3 types of wood.
Project size 6 x 5,5 inches
Perhaps, we could hear from Fox. Maybe they could try some things and see if it makes things better. Or, they can just keep doing the things the same way.
