Bandsaw magic. How to make a 3D reindeer . Woodworking projects that sells. Christmas in July

Today I will show you how to make this cute 3D reindeer from a scrap piece of wood. This is a very simple project that sells well. Also it make a great Christmas gift for your loved ones. Woodworking is so much more fun with a friend. Today I had a visitor, Sandrine from Studio Artisane.

6:15 When using the spindle sander you can use a few pieces of scrap plywood to use the entire sandpaper roll. Clamp them on the table so you raise the surface. You always wear the lower part the most. Just a tip for using it all. 😉

[@techslfink9722]

Nice work! Taping cut out parts back in again for stability is a great advice! Love the honesty that you mention this is not your own design. Not everyone does!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

[@gsp911]

I have made them in large size. Also from Workshop companion, I just upscaled them. I've made a couple in 26" and 31" from a glulam beam from my house. I had a 9 ft piece of 8x9 from when we remodeled, i didn't want to waste it. The bigger you make them the easier it is. 🙂

[@stevehogg]

I love Workshop Companion. Thanks for sharing this and nice to meet your friend.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you for watching Steve

[@kenord3437]

Thank you for your videos, they say you can’t teach old dogs new tricks, well, you have certainly taught this old man some new stuff, much appreciated.

[@ianbost193]

Nice work! I've made a few sets of those myself. One thing you can do to mix it up: on some of the reindeer, instead of cutting the big hole for the legs, you just cut it straight off and it will look like those reindeer are laying down.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thats a great idea. Thank you

[@flashwashington2735]

It is good to see friends together. Cute deer. Thank you both. God bless.

[@Goorney]

Great video. Good idea using that flexible attachment when sanding the reindeer. Much lighter than holding the rotary tool.

[@norm5785]

You ladies did and awesome job. Thank you for sharing your band saw rain deer with us. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Hi Norm from Henrico County Virginia:)

[@truthbetold2914]

WOW! 2 great racks!

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Way to go, ladies!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

:) thank you

[@TheMoppersmurf]

I love these raindeers. I did it with a bandsaw before and now with the scrollsaw for smaller deers. Fun and beautifull! And i wish i had a workshop like yours :)

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

:) Thank you.

[@WorkshopCompanion]

Great job on the reindeer!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you so much for the pattern! Love it! Wish you had more animal patterns like this

[@manoelmessias2431]

Muito top os trabalhos de vcs

[@Derek_Lark]

I have found it cuts just as well without taping the initial cut outs back in. But nice work, love the red nose.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I will have to try that. Thanks

Boa noite

[@wayner806]

Nice video. I have this pattern also and just finished cutting out 55 but they are not multi-species wood, each is only cherry, maple or poplar. I sand with a spindle and belt sander but it sure takes time. I’ll have to try the Odie’s Oil. I created a template and trace onto the board so I don’t have to cut out so many patterns. I also just use the bandsaw to cut out the upper instead of using the forstner bit, saving more time. I do like the nose, antlers and hooves being contrasting woods.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you. They sure are fun to make. Sanding does take time that’s why mine are never perfect. 55 of them is a lot! Getting ready for an craft show?

[@wayner806]

@@woodworkingwithSkylerI hope to sell 2/3 of them and give the others as gifts. Have a good day!

[@jenda3322]

Velmi skvělé výtvory, jste velmi zručná Skyler ok.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you my friend

[@RYwoodview]

Fun project! I didn't see a link for the reindeer plan, though. Could you add it?

[@rawbacon]

Cute Deer, turned out great, I think you pretty much need that flexible shaft to do fine work with a Dremel that big..........I picked up a couple new hand sanders this week, one old one died and I replaced that then they had a different style half off so I grabbed that too. The next sander on the list in the Oscillating Sander, what model is yours? I remember you said you really like it.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

:) mine is a Wen. I got it because it was cheap but it works really well

[@rawbacon]

@@woodworkingwithSkyler That's likely what I'll get, I'm just a hobby woodworker and it seems like it would be plenty good for my uses.

[@pathardage1880]

I like your reindeer more than the ones I made. I'm going to use a saw with more teeth. Thanks!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank YOU

[@katwang3422]

This is beautiful! What type of band saw do you use ? Blade for this project?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I used Harvey band saw, 3/16 blade

[@federalist46]

Keep up the good work...So much fun to watch.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thanks so much!

[@erickovach]

Cool. Two woodworking cuties this time.😍

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

😊 thank you

[@bobd5119]

4:00 I see the band saw is tuned nicely. How do you set up your band saw? My 10" Rikon drives me bananas. Is is a chore to get a 1/4" blade to track, and a 1/8" blade will not track. The blades rush to the edge of the wheels, or walk right off!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Funny: my 3/16, 1/4 and 1/2 inch blades are super easy to tune. The 3/4 one I am struggling with. I put the gullet of the tooth right in the middle of the blade

[@paceves4403]

I've been struggling with my Rikon 10" 306 as well, I finally called Rikon and they walked me through how to properly adjust the blade, it was super helpful

[@bobd5119]

@@paceves4403 I am going to call Rikon. Thanks for the encouragement. I committed the crime of fiddling with the lower wheel, despite the warning not to. Incidentally, Jet (or Grizzly, I forget which) uses a straight edge to align the wheels. The Rikon frame interferes with a straightedge, though.

[@mikedrabik1]

Do you live in Maine as well, absolutely love acadia and baxter❤

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Yes I do! I love Acadia! Is a 3 hour drive for me to get there but I go as often I can. Will be in Acadia for two weeks in August

[@mikedrabik1]

You are so fortunate, I had planned on going in August for my 70th birthday, but decided to go next June and stay for a couple of weeks

[@mikedrabik1]

Love to see the lupins

[@scottmartinezguitarandbass]

What size blade are you using in your bandsaw?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

For this one I used 3/16

[@rizwanrizvi4739]

Love you

[@bilbohurricane7657]

seems like you need some circulation in there good idea to open the garage door. it is a nice wooded area so it does not hurt the visuals. anything to get views, right?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Good idea!

[@TOPHAT1966GS]

You said in a video that you got CA on your hands and it annoyed you for a week. Are you aware of CA debonder? It will penetrate the glue and weaken it so you can get it off your fingers and also will allow you to reposition your work it you make a mistake. When debonding wood you'll have to let it dry out before using CA again though, this is where a heatgun will come in handy. CA debonder comes in a green cap. I enjoy your videos.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

OMG! Thank you so much! I just ordered some.

[@TheStanford01]

You can also wash your hands in hot soapy water to break the bond of super glue.

[@dentonjordan6992]

Fingernail polish remover… much less harsh on your skin and usually have it handy in the house

[@noellegrosso5346]

What is the blade size and TPI? Thanks!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

3/16 size. Don’t know the TpI

[@zabihtoosky658]

So cute, both of your antlers

[@GAROmx]

I’d say you could have gone with something bigger between the legs 🤔. Great video

[@bobd5119]

2:25 Being a safety nut, I was startled to see long hair near a drill press spindle.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I totally understand that. I usually wear ear headphones that keeps my hair away from tools. This time I wasn’t using ear protection as I was talking with my friend. I didn’t realized how close I was till I was editing the video

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Fun 0rojext Haven't made any of these.but I should

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Please do . They are a lot of fun
