Making Modern 3D Reindeer on the Bandsaw

Inspired by some holiday decor on our friends' mantle last Christmas, I set out to create a modern bandsaw reindeer that looks a little bit more like a reindeer, at least to me. After tracing the profiles of my inspiration sculpture, I created a new template that produced a viable 3D reindeer on the bandsaw.

    Когда мастер говорит - этот проект сделан на ленточной пиле! - я читаю - "я выпилил скульптуру за восемь минут, а шлифовал его четыре часа!!!" 😊 Спасибо за подробное описание работы над моделью - это всегда упускают мастера, но это часто бывает интересно! Такие вещи обдумываешь, занимаясь чем-то другим, и перед сном, и еще не открыв глаза! 🥱

I make a version much different than your which now feel so simplistic after I see the reindeer you have created. But I have stylized them to something unique and I am sure everyone adds their personal touch to a project like this. I sign mine on the bottom of a foot with the year, you should consider doing something similar in a inconspicuous spot if you don't already. Else 10 years from now you'll have people wondering who made them and when.

Shapr3D is gorgeously intuitive and simplistic but it does provide complexity in a simplified way. Like a lot of software that is streamlined and simplified, I find there are occasions where I want it to do something different and that isn't even an option. But it handled much of the quick aesthetic stuff much more easily than solidworks in a way. It's definitely fun to play with if you have the opportunity! I tend to use illustrator for my vectors and pop my dwg into whatever software I'm using so it was cool watching you basically do that in a subtractive way!

    Thanks, glad you liked the video! I believe the block of wood for the maple one was roughly 10.75" x 5.25" x 1.5". The walnut one I don't remember for sure, but I believe the board was just over 1" thick, so it was probably around 8.5" x 3.75" as a block. Walnut definitely has the right color palette for a reindeer, but I honestly think any wood would work - I'd love to see one in cherry or mahogany, maybe even a spalted wood? Sky's the limit!
