posting pics and copyright issues
I need some feedback on showing some of the pics I have. I made an intarsia fish that I seen on youtube and it is in a Picasaweb album. The artist must live overseas and had no patterns available but it was so neat looking I made my own. I am not reproducing this fish an not taking credit for its design so am I allowed to show it or am I getting into a copyright issue. I also seen a drawing of a great horned owl on shutterstock and made a pattern similar to the drawing and the owl turned out pretty good. There are thousands of images and pictures to choose from and I ask again is this a copyright issue if I show the pic . Once again I am not into reproducing any pattern or taking credit for the designs since I get bored easily making the same thing over. I have many fishing and hunting magazines and I plan on using some of the drawings and pictures to inspire myself into making more patterns in the future of wildlife. Where do the pattern makers get their inspiration from? I find it challenging to draw out a picture and try to make a pattern to put to use as an intarsia project.Hope i'm not opening up a can of worms so to speak.

I am not a lawyer. With that said making and displaying a piece from another person's pattern/design/plan is not a copyright violation. You can even sell the finished piece you made. What you can not do is to copy and sell the pattern to others. For that matter you can not even distribute free copies of that pattern without the designer written permission.
As to finding pictures to make your own design search the web for Royalty Free Images.Scott

copyright is a difficult topic. There is a whole "sticky" thread on it in the "Off Topic" section. http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/off-topic/9909.htm

Some options -
Get permission from original picture/designer to use their item
Use royalty free images as was suggested
Take your own photos to create designs from

You are okay to post pics of your completed projects and projects in progress on the forum, just do not post patterns you do not create yourself. Thanks for asking."Still Montana Mike"

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationby HobbyhorseIn 1954 I had one similar to that which had a spring return in the top arm for blade tension. It was set up on a bench for me by my father and had a treadle system to run it ..... I have no memory of the brand of machine.

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationGot it. Your picture was rather dark and could not see the construction.
I still don't think it was mass-produced though....-
