Thanks Ian

 

I had a scuffle about in the workshop and found a 1/4" blade so I will have a go at a reindeer.

Yes I did and at the moment it's kicked arse on everything I've used it on. Really enjoying the bed space for freedom of movement for me. Got the reindeers down to about 7-8 minutes each so halved my time. Got the bandsaw from my local machine mart directly from record power. The blades are ok but will be trying these people next time http://www.tuffsaws.co.uk

Well I have made my first reindeer. The video suggested 17 minuets sadly my first took the best part of an hour. Print picture, try to cut picture with blunt scissors, sharpen scissors go to workshop then have major faff about changing blades. Finally get to cut out reindeer and sand all burn marks from blunt old blade. Ian making one of these in 7-8 mins in mighty impressive

 

Dodgy pic of dodgy reindeer.

Looks good for first attempt after doing 150 of them you get into a rhythm, especially when you have music going too.
