Carving Pattern Collection, Everyone Pitch In If Possible

[ouchmyfinger]

hey everyone, i know all leatherworkers slowly gather patterns over a period of time so they will always have the right pattern for the project, well I'm trying to speed up the process for a lot of us in the beginning few years of our career.

if you have a pattern or would like to draw up any floral, sheridan, or figure carving pattern please post it or send it to me in a pm

make sure that these are legal patterns to share with everyone, do not use any patterns that will take money from anybody's pocket in other words. all patterns will be put in a folder on my computer and be available to send to everyone, i hope that this goes well and we can all have a nice collection of things to choose from for future projects.

ill do all the labeling and divide all the patterns into their specific categories for everyone

thanks everyone,

also if you know of any sources for free downloads just post the link and i will go download them all for everyone

thanks

I agree this is a good idea, but they need to be in a section of the forum so they remian in the public domain.

And, you spamed the forum, bad idea.

what do you mean in the section of the forum? i posted in the general conv. section and i posted in the sheridan section to get sheridan style patterns as likewise for the other types of carving. not everybody goes in each section of the forum so this was the only way i could get a variety of styles, if you have a better idea i am all for it.

they will stay on the forum for everyone to have but i was offering to organize everything so anyone that would need them could get them in one email instead of clicking on each one and saving each of them and labeling them for reference. if everyone contributes it will be somewhat time consuming and i wouldn't call that spam. i am not profiting off of this in anyway it is just to benefit everyone.

Keep in mind, just my opinion. I am not a moderator here (I am elsewhere). Cross posting on a forum is generally considered to be spam.

What you are wanting to do is a good idea. By section of the forum I mean if there is a large number of submissions they would be best kept on the forum in their own section. Look at the top and you will see there are other areas that information is. It would be good to have a section for nothing but patterns.

i have done several searches for patterns and have found a few but your right we do need to possibly have a thread for this, i am not a computer blogger pro and I'm sure many of the members on here are not. so if i broke any of the typical forum rules that apply then i did so by mistake and apologize.

i always take the time to answer peoples questions if i have the answer for them and have received many pms thanking me for my advice and i have had great success getting my questions answered here also and they help me become a more professional leatherworker and create a better finished product. the research and will to constantly better ourselves is what makes us achieve the highest standards and i was just trying to give back to the community and help those who feel the same way i do about this craft

thanks
