Santa's Sleigh

It has been a couple of years since I have put up a video. And I really meant to get this one up a couple of weeks ago. As it is a seasonal theme. You can find plans for the sleigh on my Etsy page.

[@maldonadoruthie]

They are so beautiful love it thanks for sharing. I subscribed I hope you make more videos.

[@barbaraness4507]

I just scanned the videos on your channel, and I had to subscribe! I can’t wait to try some of your beautiful designs!

Thank you!

Nice Job Terry.

[@user-jq3li3uv9o]

👍👍👍

[@robertontko8588]

Terry In your plans do you list the size blade you use for each application? What do you use for inside cuts when you have them. I am really trying to not by a scroll saw. Thank you for your guidance.

[@terryspade441]

I do not list the size of the blade in my plans. Use a 1/2" or 3/8" inch band saw blade to cut off the sides. Use a 3/16" or 1/4" 10 to 14 tpi band saw blade to do the inner curves. I would not try to do the Sleigh on a scroll saw. It is too thick to cut on a scroll saw.

Does the carter stabilizer really help? Beautiful job!

[@terryspade441]

Yes it really does. I only use it with 1/8" and 3/16" blades. They say you can use it with 1/4" blades and I tied it , but I didn't like it with the 1/4" blades.

[@Trainman0401]

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll try it with the 1/8 blade I want to use. Have a peaceful holiday season.

[@woodsniffer]

@@Trainman0401 I also have the Carter Stabilizer. works very well.

[@daveklein2826]

Anything from Carter is money very well spent

I would like to purchase the sleigh pattern but I only find a reindeer pattern that is 2 1/2 inches tall. It appears that the sleigh is too large for this pattern and the picture of your deer seem to be bigger as well. Where do I get a pattern for the deer that is proportional to the sleigh? Thanks so much.

[@terryspade441]

I provide a rain deer pattern at no extra coast, with my sleigh pattern. It is about 5 5/8 inches tall. The finished Sleigh is about 4 5/8 inches tall. Since the rain deer are a caricature of actual rain deer, I feel that size works for this sleigh size. Have you seen my video on how I do these rain deer?

[@tombeach4322]

awesome!! It looks like you only used one of the cut 4x4s. What were the other 2 or 3 6" pieces for?

[@terryspade441]

I made 3 Sleighs, I only filmed one.

Ola bacana seus trabalhos,, onde consigo esses moldes, abraço Hello cool your work, where can I get these molds, hug

[@HarryMarx-be8yv]

love the reindeer and sleigh - i made some for x-mas presents a couple years ago , every body loved them. Wondering if you have a 3D template for the "Nutcracker" My granddaughters are in the Nutcracker ballet this Christmas season and i would like to make some for them and the other dancers. Thanks, Harry

[@terryspade441]

No sorry.

[@elizabethsagarminaga4281]

what machine is that

[@terryspade441]

I use three machines in this video. A bosch 12'' sliding compound miter saw, a 14 inch bandsaw, and an 18 inch bandsaw.

[@inesisabella]

Do you have an apprentice? It would be great! In my city, once a month, there is an open workshop, where craftsmen and craftswomen show their abilities and teach other people how to do different things. This is excellent and there are always people, also young, who want to learn something.

[@terryspade441]

No apprentice, just an old retired guy having fun in his wood shop.

[@tomt9543]

@@terryspade441 I retired last July, and I’m enjoying the shop time also! I hope you have a good source of free wood, because lumber has SKYROCKETED in price! It seems like framing lumber is the worst! Just found your channel, and enjoying catching up! Just bought a wood lathe, so turning vids would be great! Hint hint! Ha!

[@terryspade441]

@@tomt9543 For turning wood and lumber scraps watch craigslist. A lot of trees go down in storms. Most of the time it gets cut up by clean up crews and left there. Many home owners will give it away if you haul it off. But they usually ask that you take it all.

[@asantagaryhetzel6114]

Why do you use such a large blade?! Try 1/8th inch.

[@terryspade441]

I prefer the 3/16" blade in the thicker wood. I use 1/8" and 3/16" blades. It just depends on what type of wood and thickness, the radius I am cutting etc

[@daveklein2826]

Do it your way

[@thesultanmerchant]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF WOOD FOR MAKING SLEIGH?

[@terryspade441]

I am using Doug fir Dimensional construction lumber 4 x 4 inches actual size is 3½ x 3½ inches. Different types of wood are used as construction lumber in different parts of the US. Any wood will work.

[@garybush2671]

Terry I do not criticize how a fellow wood woodworker produces. However I would remiss in telling you this dangerous thing you did on this video. When you were crosscutting the 4x4 on the chop saw you were cutting cross armed ! DANGER DANGER DANDER !!! You set the peice, took you left hand over to hold the Peice on the right side of the saw and used your right to work the saw and make the cut ! VERY Very dengerous and a habit which will eventually lead to bodily injury to your left fore-arm. Rule for the chopsaw. If when operating you ever find your hands crossed you are endangering yourself. simple correction is to hold the part with the right hand and operate the saw with the left. I have one small scar, got very lucky, but have witnessed other where the blade cuts into the soft backside of the forearm ! Not a pretty site. Your videos are great. Watch the front end of this and note how you shirt sleeve easily comes in contact with the blade guard. Imagine a large peice and the guard being higher. Caught shirt sleeve grabbed and pulled in !!! AHHH heurts to visualize it. Gary - Keep pushing the wood !

SHOW YOUR EXPERTISE USING MANUAL TOOLS TO MAKE IT.

[@terryspade441]

I started out using hand tools, as a hobby that is fine. But you can't make any money using hand tools.

[@daveklein2826]

Sultan show your expertise in a video for all of us

[@thesultanmerchant]

YOU ARE RICH PERSON AND CAN PURCHASE EXPENSIVE TOOLS TO MAKE IT. SHOW YOUR TALENT FOR MAKING THE SAME USING MANUAL TOOLS SO THAT WHO CANNOT PURCHASE EXPENSIVE TOOLS CAN MAKE IT. WATCH SUCH VIDEOS AND ALL OF THEN USING EXPENSIVE TOOLS TO MAKE IT.

[@terryspade441]

Trust me I am not rich. It took me years to buy these tools.
