This may have been asked before- I have been invited to a show, to sell some projects. Is it legal/ ethical to sell things I have made from patterns in a book? I have a number of projects I have developed myself over the years, but I can increase my offerings a little if I use a few things from books and magazines.
In particular, I am looking to do some puzzles from this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Puzzles-Scroll-Saw-Woodworki/dp/1565233913/ref=pd_sim_b_2
and-
The first book says, : Readers may make three copies for personal….. .. patterns themselves, however, are not to be duplicated for resale…...
So, I would not be selling copies of the pattern, but the actual results of using the pattern.
Any armchair lawyers care to weigh in? I do not want to step on the authors toes, he works for his money, and I do not want to get in trouble with the event sponsor. On the other hand- I find it hard to believe anyone is worried if I make a few bucks from their ideas. Particularly in the case of the Spielman book, it is about 25 years old.
Thanks for your thoughts!
