I found mine on the WWOGA website. Free as well.

I downloaded the PDF, printed it out, and taped it to some ply and cut me some patterns.

Tis the season. Well done John. Alex Snodgrass would be proud.

And the bandsaw performed very well Artie! The simplicity of the Shopsmith bandsaw has grown on me!

So that's how you guys do em! I often wondered about that Jess. Thanks sir!

Very well done, I have looked at several versions of these over the last month. I wouldn't mind doing a few next year to hand out as Christmas gifts.

They are fun to make Aaron. That's exactly what we did, handed them out and folks loved them. Our daughter decorated them with Christmas color beads and red 🎀.

Here ya' go. Next year's challenge.

 

 

One of our Reindeer our daughter decorated, she put a sleek feminine look on her, this reindeer is ready for a Christmas party. 

 

 

And an elegant bow for another. 

 

Sire - you have been a busy saw-er-outer...  Your daughter did  great job.

Thanks Fred, it was indeed a wonderful family project, the gang had fun decorating them. Hope you are having a wonderful New Years Eve Fred, thank you for coming around and chipping in and talking and shuckin and jivin!

Yes, John, we did have a great time.  And thank you for asking.

In fact, we are visiting our son and family in Millington, TN.  Celebrated New Year from New York then hit the rack.

"chipping in"  - son (Brian) and are are building a deck  

"talking"  - constantly catching up  

"shuckin" - left that up to the girls 

"jivin" - good music but these old bones didn't quite hold up when Judy and I were jitterbugging 

 

From everyone here in Tennessee, We wish all of our Patriots here and around the world a safe and joyous 2025.

GOD bless the USA and protect out new upcoming president

 

Fred, Judy, Brian and Shannon
