Paul Meisel's experience in woodworking and design is extensive. During his 10 years as an industrial arts instructor, Mr. Meisel realized the need for project plans that the beginning woodworker could manage. He began designing projects that excited interest in students, yet did not exceed their skill level.

Realizing the need for well-designed plans for the school as well as the home-hobbyist woodworker, he and his wife, Pat, set about creating a mail order company for the distribution of these plans. They took their unique concept one step further by offering many hard-to-find specialty hardware parts. This company, Meisel Hardware Specialties, has become one of the nation's leading project plan and woodworking supply companies.

Shelli and Kerry Robinson started S K Woodworksi with the she draws them and he cuts them teamwork concept.

Scrolling has been Joan's passion for many years.

Designing scroll saw mosaic patterns and pieces can be described as a passionate pastime for Frank Droege. His first love is painting, however, and over the years he has won numerous awards as a traditional painter.

He currently paints miniature art and has recently become an award-winning artist in the field.
Frank lives in Voorhees, New Jersey, with his wife and daughters. Inquiries about his artwork can be addressed directly to Frank at 306 Kresson-Gibbsboro Road, Voorhees, NJ 08043.

Still a resident of her much-loved Mobile, Alabama, Diana Thompson is an avid scroller and designer, focusing especially on compound cutting. She began scrolling several years ago when she experimented on her husband's old scroll saw while he was at work. Since then, she has written four books on compound designs, and her husband, Bob, has bought five scroll saws just for her. When she's not scrolling, Diana finds time to escape to the golf course. You can see more of her work online at www.scrollsawinspirations.com.
