About Great American Scroll Saw Patterns

GASSP Testimonials

Dear Rick and Karen
Though I have been ordering from you for the past few years,I have never written to you to express my appreciation for the great patterns you produce. I have made many of the large shelves and have had no trouble selling them. I make them primarily from oak,but I made #VLS1 out of walnut,and that one hangs in my living room. My wife will not part with it! My best seller has been #VLS2 with the bells and cherubs on it. Everybody thinks they make the best wedding gifts. The hardest one I cut has to be#VLS5,but it turned out to be one of the most beautiful,and the customer really loved it.

Dear Sir
We are more than pleased with the patterns we have previously ordered from you. The Victorian sleigh and serving tray my husband made me are beautiful and people cannot believe they are hand made. Being from England,I know the beauty of Victorian woodwork and you have the best patterns we have worked with. Thanking you in advance of the enclosed order.

Dear Rick and Karen
I'm writing to tell you how much fun I am having with your designs and patterns. I also am thankful for your helpful hints and suggestions. I feel your wildlife collection was made for me. I am like a kid with a new toy every time I get a new pattern from you.
- Karen

Dear Berry Basket
I just received the basket patterns I ordered from you and I cant tell you how pleased I am! When I first ordered ,I was a little unsure of my ability to make what appears to be a very intricate project. But thats the beauty of it all. It looks complicated and time consuming and it ends up being just the opposite. Now you've solved all of my gift giving problems for Christmas. Please keep me on your mailing list as I'd love to see what other patterns you come up with.
- Most Sincerely, Barbara

I ordered my first set of patterns in January of 92 and I haven't stopped making them yet! They sell twice as fast as I can make them. I am overjoyed at the satisfaction of my customers who keep coming back over and over again.
- T.R. of Pennsylvania

I have had nothing but compliments on the things I have made from your patterns.
- J.H. of Texas

You have the quickest response of any company I have dealt with. Keep up the good work.
- J.S. of Kentucky

I never had much fun doing crafts until I discovered you. Now,after 8 hours at the state job,I am dying to get to the craft shop and crank up the scroll saw.
- D.L. of Texas

Out of all of the woodworking catalogs I receive in the mail,yours is my favorite. I love everything.
- E.V. of Hawaii

Keep us up to date on all new projects. They are the talk of the town.
- P.V.

I've gotten several of your patterns and the resulting projects are always a big hit.
- B.S. of Michigan

I would like to take a minute to thank you for your 12 original plans that I ordered from you a year ago. They were the hottest selling items I have made in the 3 years I have been doing this. I'm a 50 year old disabled vet,who was cut off of disability last June and your patterns along with the free hard wood I get was the only thing that kept food on the table. Again thank you. Your company is a winner.
- Yours Truly, Ken

I have obtained several of your patterns and have found them all to be exceptional. Not only are they full size and very clear ,they are unique,particularly the victorian designs. I have had nothing but compliments on the things i have made from your patterns.,and I look forward to making a number of projects in the future.

I am delighted with the Collapsible Basket Patterns book I recently ordered from you. I have most of my Christmas gift list filled with-baskets I feel sure the recipients will enjoy. As a woodworking hobbyist, my wife and I have made gifts for the family,friends and co-workers for the past 8 years or so. Each year we seek out something unique and beautiful. Needless to say ,your patterns fit the bill. For the record,and feel free to use any and all of this letters you see fit,your patterns are superb - the instructions are clear, to the point and even a relatively unskilled woodworker such as myself can follow them with excellent results. I have invested in other patterns and found that it takes a mechanical engineering degree and skills which exceed my capabilities to figure them out.( They do make excellent starters for the fireplace-yes, even Florida occasionally gets chilly enough to enjoy a fireplace). Thanks again for providing a worthwhile product at a reasonable price.
- Warmest Regards, Charles and Joanne

Dear Sir
I received your patterns and they are out of this world. We saw a plain one at a craft place and yours made these we saw look like junk. I took one I cut out to church and the people went nuts over it. I've got orders for some of the patterns I already have and also for the patterns that I'm ordering. Your service is just great. I've had to wait 10 days to 3 weeks on most of my orders. Yours just took 5 days. If you come out with some more or different patterns please let me know.
- Thank You, A.J.

To whom it may concern
I just had to write and let you know how thrilled my husband and I have been with your patterns. A little over a year ago,for his birthday,I gave my husband a scroll saw ,and he looked at me like I had a hole in my head,and said," what did you give me this for?" He was so upset with it that I was afraid I had really made a mistake. He loves to golf, but living where we do,that isn't a year round sport,and I wanted him to have something to do in the winter months. I don't remember where we saw your ad,but we sent for your catalog,and he has come alive! He made 9 baskets for Christmas presents,and he has made a few more since, and the other day he made a clock with a little girl praying! I don't mind telling you he does beautiful work! I bought him a router for Xmas,and the look on his face was quite different than when he opened his saw! Thanks again for all of the lovely patterns you have sent us.
- Your's Truly, J.P. Oregon

Rick and Karen
Your patterns are awesome! I cant hardly wait to get home to my shop and scroll out a pattern. This is the greatest challenge I've had to date. Please keep the great ideas coming and keep me posted.
- Thanks a bunch, Bill

To the wonderful people at The Berry Basket
We love all of your patterns that we have received and hope that you come out with many more. The doll bench is so beautiful. Every pattern we make is wonderful. We cant praise them enough. We love them all. Keep up the great work,you are doing a great job.
- Thank you so very much B.A.

Dear Rick Karen and boys
I wanted to take a few moments to thank you for your wonderful designs and patterns. In a time when many companies are vying for sales of their designs,they seem to lack warmth,feeling,detail and uniqueness that your patterns possess. Not often do I take the time to write and compliment someone,but my hat goes off to you. Every time your patterns arrive in the mail,it requires a tough decision on my part,which pattern should I try next? Again,thank you for your great designs and patterns
- Your loyal customer, Ken, Myrna and Kevin

Dear Rick and Karen
I have enjoyed making,giving away to friends and selling your baskets for the last 3 years or more.. I have yet to find another use for my scroll saw other than your basket patterns that I really enjoy. The victorian and southwest patterns have been the most popular down here in Texas. I am retired and have found in your baskets a true feeling of making something really nice when I complete one of them. I use oak, maple, cherry,walnut and poplar; with the most being maple. People seem to like the natural maple finish. Thanks for helping to make my retirement years more enjoyable.
- Best to you All, B.R.

Dear Rick and Karen
Just to let you know you have the greatest patterns. I have all your books and many of your patterns. I have made so many pieces off of your patterns. Always get great thanks and praises from your patterns. Keep up the good work. I wouldn't even guess how many projects I have made already.
- Thank you, J.K.

Dear Folks
Just wanted to let you know how mush we enjoy your patterns. Daniel made the victorian sleigh for my sister for Xmas and cant wait to get his hands on the doll bench plans. He has made many baskets and they are all beautiful. A lot of the people I work with bought them for gifts and we've given them as wedding gifts and for new babies etc. Daniel really enjoys the challenge of the more intricate patterns. Keep them coming. We are due to retire in 3 years and will have more time to work on projects.
- Daniel and Dee

I have ordered many patterns from you. I think they are great. I have made many of your projects, great sellers. Keep up the good work.
