here, you will find video lessons on how to do different things with your saw, free software to print out patterns for keychains and nameplates (Windows only i'm afraid), but more importantly (at least to me) you will find a very good selection of free downloadable patterns. these patterns are, from what i understand, custom made by the blog's owner and are 100% free for everyone to print and use which was practically a godsend when i first got into scrollsawing and didn't know how to make patterns of my own to use.
for example, here's one of my favorite patterns that he's made; a memorial plaque for Steve Jobs:
and here's my finished cut of the pattern:
generally, his patterns are nice, easy to cut pieces. the problems with the letters you see in my finished product are from it being my first project in a few months, as well as using the wrong blade for the job.
in conclusion, the Scrollsaw Workshop blog is the best place i've found online for this hobby. it has free patterns galore as well as useful tips and advice. also, you can plug your email address into a box and have new content from the blog delivered straight to your inbox.
