Cut the runners for some sled ornaments. Thought I could highlight them in red before cutting but that plan failed. Colored solid with a marker.

December 1, 20232 yr Love it Bob. That is awesome. Your patience is amazing with that many blade placement moves.

Bodies are just under 4" long by 2 1/2" wide. #2 reverse tooth blade for the most part. Some of the finer cuts I used a 3/0 blade, the candy & wreath......
December 4, 20232 yr These are unique, creative and so well done Bob. Appreciate you sharing your talents.

A #2 blade exceeds this old man's visual acuity. The smallest in my stash is a #3.

Gene, I made two mistakes on these & the sleighs, one, I left the patterns laying on the table were the Sunday coffee club seen them and picked which ones they wanted. Two, I didn't print the patterns in red . By the time I finished the runners for the sleighs I was wearing these..... and wore them to the end.

Mine are an unknown diopter and un lighted but serves the purpose. Without them, I can't see the #3 blade/line convergence. And, I don't have a color printer.
