3D reindeer on the bandsaw

[@MrHighflyingclive]

Thank you, Matthais. I'm a novice woodworker and a very new bandsaw owner. But I used your template today and produced a very creditable cheesy reindeer, which I'm sure that my grandchildren will love.

[@0Pain0Gain]

Matthias, I am a beginner woodworker...just learning the basics (haven't tried my first project yet...but getting educated over the last month or so)....You had been a true inspiration.... I am a civil engineer by degree but a software developer by profession...(your foo/bar example was good) Have watched tons of your videos...I think you are a true genius..I have so much to learn from you...Please don't stop posting your ideas....People like me can gain a lot from you !!!! Regards Saurav

[@matthiaswandel]

It matters. The article (follow the link) covers that.

[@matthiaswandel]

I mention it in the video, also in the article linked from the description.

[@kenl5217]

can't believe I haven't seen this old video before

[@mahmoudomara5421]

Me neither!

[@Error081688]

Wow....brilliant again. I've used Sketchup and Solidworks in a similar way, but I never thought of actually cutting in that manner. Well done!

[@blainerueckwald]

Thank you, I have a couple of grandsons on who will enjoy making these. They have started using the bandsaw, with very close supervision and are always looking for things to make and I’m always looking for things to make that aren’t knives or swords. I even went so far as getting them to make a Roman gladius and researching it’s construction, history and use. Thought that might at least impart some knowledge to their young minds.

[@arlineastman]

Thank you for the pattern. Me and the other vets will love making some.

[@bryphi77]

I am surprised that you dont own a full 3d package... With as much creating and tool building as you do... much of your concept work could be done much quicker than on paper. I was a builder for many years... then I found 3d. I still like to create real things, but money puts a constraint on my real creations. Thats why 3d is so great... moral of the story... GET PRO! Your channel is great... and you are a true creator.

[@robert3302]

Your ingenuity never fails to delight! I am most impressed how you did all that freehand detail cutting without losing a leg or an antler! (PS: I don't think it's cheesy at all. It's a lovely little Christmas ornament.)

[@matthiaswandel]

It's also a homemade bandsaw.

[@DasOberkommando]

Yeah, Merry Chritmas, Matthias. That reindeer is so awesome!

[@matthiaswandel]

Follow the link in the the description for the article, which links to the plans. The plans are free.

[@olgatchelechova8424]

thank you for this model!!! I made this raindeer today! I did look for you for thanks! It's my first work by saw

[@marcosovideo]

you got magic hands, and a very creative mind!

[@matthiaswandel]

Thanks for saying that for me. But it seems youtubers can't be bothered to read the link at the end or the description.

[@adrumlegend]

@grubby7911 it matters because the front profile is simetrical. It would be difficult to attach all the parts with nails if you start with the other profile.

[@BeeRich33]

Looks like a job for the Pantarouter

[@deezynar]

Merry Christmas, Matthias.

[@SouthpawDavey]

I did a few of these this year my kids loved them. You have posted some great stuff Matthias;-)

[@mdmccat]

I have done this exact thing with a scroll saw. Including a bear, turkey, squirrel and other animals. Very cool.

[@TRKing1230]

Hi, im just starting to get into woodworking and i really enjoy your videos! im thinking about trying this out on my small bench top bandsaw, but i was wondering if an 1/8 inch blade would work better than a 1/4 inch. your blade looks to be a 1/4 inch, but it seems like a smaller one would make it easier. Thanks- tristin

[@bethanyg229]

I have the same question but yours hasn't been answered in 10 years so I'm not holding my breath for an answer. LOL

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Wow, you continue to impress me!

[@TheFsxmad]

Great video, getting in the Christmas spirit

[@EverydayKindaGuy]

I wonder just how large of a Reindeer could be cut out with this method.

[@Bigwingrider1800]

So what software do you really use. Its not sketchup for all. Im a prototype designer for 34 yrs.Cad (solids) for about 13 yrs cnc,mills well I think you get the picture. Never had to import a jpeg or something to sketch around. Fired up my cad to see if it would (NICE). Im working on a jig to cut diffrent size sprockets. I will send it to ya once i got it(if i can).I just got the ok to add 15 ft to the back my garage will be 888 sq ft(city board). Keep up the vids your very good at it.

[@hi19hi19]

@GreatInca You have to remember shop class is geared for the lowest common denominator (and even then people still manage to lose fingers!) Those who are more experienced or just more cautious than average might be able to try their own methods... many safety "rules" are largely just smart guidelines these days and can be broken if you're aware of it and careful.

[@Chlorate299]

@ImposingSumo As far as CAD programs go, Sketchup is very user friendly, so yes it's perfect for a beginner :)

[@strilight]

Now cut the reindeer in half, carve the inside of the head, and add a small red LED and a battery, and place the LED where the screw was. Now glue the halves together, and you have Rudolph.

[@boldger13]

It looks like you could easily change the reindeer into a flamingo...if you wanted to do so.

[@mieguistumas]

You can do all sorts of animals :D My friend's dad made a stork the same way with very thin legs. It kinda looked like just a bird, but it was a stork, if you knew it was a stork :D

[@tubeisace]

Thank you. That answered a lot of questions for me!

[@ils360]

can you send me the plans to that my wood shop teacher would love that

[@ZombieSlayer1200]

thats really cool. do you think you could email me some pictures of the front and side part of the reindeer? thanks evan

[@37421255]

what is the name of the software you use to td the sketching? thanks love the videos.

[@mpcoleman]

Matthias, you have inspired me so much through all of your videos. I approach problem solving in creative ways that I would not have thought of otherwise. Does your band saw have a name? Frankensaw??!!

[@WhrsTheMoneyLabowski]

@37421255 its also at the top of the window of the program.

[@wvpioneermike8194]

What is the blade depth/no teeth are you using, 3/8,1/4, 3/16, etc? Advise.

[@chuckybuilder]

Hey matthias! soon i will be doing a DT (design and technology) project. i was wondering if i could use this idea to construct a detailed rhino

[@britishlingo]

What kind of bandsaw it’s that you are using?

[@Renuzitus]

You should have your own tv show!

[@ht1type]

Great video, thanks for sharing your project, nothing cheesey about it, well planned and well done. Hang up a Craftsman sign, you are soo... there!

[@Chlorate299]

@ImposingSumo Google, but if you're used to more advanced CAD programs you'll find it to be quite limited and a touch annoying.

[@threeque]

Not cheesy at all. Lovable.

[@robertfairburn9979]

Ok for some one who not easily impressed........I’m impressed

[@ImposingSumo]

Genius. Sketchup is free you say? Who makes it? I must have that program...

[@matthew20742]

The blade you used to make these

[@PaulgoesFibo]

Why is your blade guide so high? Just wondering, is that a safety issue?

[@Steinblocksebi]

You can saw smaller curves with an higher blade guide.

[@indyhotdog7652]

Very clever!

[@newleontube]

Nice work. I have a question. What model is your band saw? I guess it is an 8" one but from which manufacturer.

[@matthiaswandel]

+Reza H. O. it's the 16" woodgears bandsaw. woodgears.ca/bandsaw/homemade.html

[@RDJim]

You saved christmas!

[@kotcherd]

I don't understand why Sketchup was involved. You start with a front and side outline and get the same thing out of Sketchup (without any shading).

[@marcoschwanenberger3127]

It was just a visualization for the viewers...

love this video.. not only 5*, but also favorite this one :)

[@jacobt2481]

I've done 4 already and still keep screwing up 😂 I have a problem with the legs breaking off while cutting

[@titeloo77]

C'est fantastique toutes vos idées. J'aime votre travail. More french please...!!

[@MystMagus]

Turned out real nice :)

[@BrunoBsso]

As always, very nice job!!!!!!!

[@ils360]

@Serostern ??

[@ImposingSumo]

@oOoxelAoOo Ha! My good man, I have never used a CAD program in my life! What I was after was something simple that I could apply my limited capacities to, so this may be perfect. Thanks for your reply, I shall track it down.

[@nrdesign1991]

Sehr schön. Jezt verstehe ich noch mehr von 3D-Grafik und Modeling :)

[@kiemho5601]

Cho tôi biết lưỡi của máy cắt số mấy vậy bạn

[@000Algorithmus000]

nice job and so fast ...amazing

[@kevinnoseworthy4282]

Great video. Really enjoyed. Also going to checkout your site.

[@kaydenmcgowan557]

[@74Amighista]

wow , very beautyful project :)

[@workonitm8]

Santa has a job he would like to discuss with you!

[@nanneken]

@37421255 Sketchup, you can download it for free on the Internet

[@syncronisity1]

That blade is sure squeaky!

[@EverydayKindaGuy]

@TheDivineCellphone LOL... Now.. Find me a bandsaw large enough to cut one to that size. :)

[@pixelgerhard]

Sehr schön erklärt!

[@visamishra4009]

Nice video

[@jordanbowmar4298]

Awesome project I might make 1.=)
