My Bandsaw Reindeer

The template has been updated. Find the new template in this video: • A New Bandsaw Reindeer...
For years I’ve watched other woodworkers make bandsaw reindeer and I’ve always wanted to try it but I was never thrilled with the designs I found. This week I came up with my own design and I’ve been testing it out with some scrap 2x4’s.

I like this template the best.

[@sandylakewoodworks]

Thanks! I was really happy with how it turned out.

[@thewoodshed18]

Super fun design! Definitely going to try some this winter!

[@sandylakewoodworks]

Thanks! I want to make a small tweak to the template file, then I need to figure out a way of sending it out to people. Just let me know if you'd be interested.

[@thewoodshed18]

@@sandylakewoodworks I'd definitely be interested! Just drop it in the description for the download I think that'd work well.

@Mainely Maine Outdoors I’m using a 1/4” 6 TPI blade.

I like the look of these. I would like to have the template file so I could make some

[@SewWhittle]

I would also love it. 😊

I just got a band saw. How much can the blade be bent before snapping? Also, are you planning on posting any more videos (I see this is the only one)?

[@sandylakewoodworks]

You don’t really want to bend the blade at all. 1/4” blades snap a lot easier (I’ve broken several). There are plenty of charts out there that show you the minimum radius cut you can make for each blade width. With a 1/4” blade you can make a 5/8” radius cut. For tighter turns you need to make relief cuts and attack it from multiple directions. I may post more videos in the future, but not regularly. Instagram is where I share all of my work.

Hi! I really like your work. I remembered the real deer I had seen in the north. Can I try to make your deer? May I ask this pattern? Any way, thanks for the creativity!

[@sandylakewoodworks]

Thanks! I’ve added a link to the template file into the video description.

@@sandylakewoodworks O! I got it! Thank you so much!

[@grzesiektg]

now I need to make one without a bandsaw.... 🤔

[@sandylakewoodworks]

You technically probably could make something like this with a coping saw… that would be a ridiculous amount of work and I wouldn’t want to do it! 😬

[@peterhicks]

This is your Mk1 (fragile) I’m presuming.

[@sandylakewoodworks]

That's correct
