I have been looking for patterns of old time/semi current steam train engines to cut out. I have a love of trains and I would really appreceate any info directing me to patterns I can download for free or buy out of magizines.
Keith....I have one Steam Engine pattern. email me and I'll dig it out and send it to you. It's a pierced portrait type pattern containing several hundred cuts.
If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!
Keith;
I got commissioned to make this one for a retired train engineer so instead of making just one I stack sawed two of them as shown . He bought his right away and the other one is also long gone.
I don't know if this is any help to you or not but I ordered the pattern expressly for the gentleman that wanted the first one . The pattern is available from Wildwooddesigns.
The picture was taken before I put first an oil finish and then a couple coats of semi gloss laquer on them. They both sold before I got a chance to take the final picture.
They are in solid red oak.

Don't know how "complicated" you want the steam engine patterns to be, but Jeff Zaffino has several on his web site at http://www.advancedscrollsawpatterns.com that are really good ones.

Keith, Jeff Zaffino's "Engine 86" pattern is in the Sept. 2005 issue of Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine. I cut it from a singe piece of 1/8" plywood with a straight blade. The most difficult one I have cut so far. Mick

Keith,I have a pattern from aback issue of Scrollsaw Workshop that is called "Trainsition" it is a pattern of an steam and a diesel engine. You cut the diesel out a darker wood or stain darker the cut and glue the steam engine on top of that. Looks very nice. If you would like this pattern E-mail me and I'll send it to you.

Keith and Rich......Check your email. I sent the pattern to both of you as an attachment. Sorry for the delay....I just found the book it was in today. (My filing system is akin to a chinese fire drill!!)

We’re off and running. Starting our farmers market for the Fall this week end, as long as we don’t get the wind and rain they’re calling for Saturday. The baskets are being added to my totes. Very pleased with them. All the wood, except box elder, are from Groff and Groff in PA. I have more of...
