trying my hand at reindeer

[Dan Noren]

ordered the 1/8" blade today.

I saw these years ago, kept meaning to try it back then but totally forgot about them. The ones Charley sure are nice

A couple years ago I picked up a small bandsaw (9") in need of non trivial refurbishment for the good price of free-fifty-free that has the upper groove bearing type guide on it that, I think, would work quite well for this sort of thing with a fine blade . I really should finish cleaning that little fellow up one of these days!

got the new blade, and gave it a try yesterday. much better results. a little bit of sanding, and good to go.

another couple got done, and given to pop's neighbors. seems they get easier to make with practice. this could be addicting....

they are looking great.

Oh hey looks like you're getting the knack down alright!! :thumb

Question, what kind of guides are you using on that saw?

 

[allen levine]

its raining reindeer over here.
trying to get as many done before Im down for the count
I ran out of thick stock so I started gluing up sapele and maple. if someone doesnt like it they dont have to take it. the front row of smaller ones are for the kids at school to paint.
still have blocks to cut up probably finish them up by early next week.

 

[Ryan Mooney]

Those are looking sharp

Nice idea having the kids get involved, might strike a spark of interest or two.

Very cool, Allen. I especially like the two-tone versions.

 

[allen levine]

today they painted their reindeer, next week they will decorate them with the bells and pipe cleaners they are really into this every year.

Those are really nice, where does one get a pattern

 

[allen levine]

Here is are patterns for a medium and a large size. Guess you could resize any way you want.


Allen looks like a great time was had, for sure.
