[JJLLKK123JJ90]

Whats that for a program

[ZombieSlayer1200]

thats really cool. do you think you could email me some pictures of the front and side part of the reindeer? thanks evan

[sergeyK16]

cool!!!

[Peanutman97]

Thanks alot :p

[Wc4Life100]

Hi, im just starting to get into woodworking and i really enjoy your videos! im thinking about trying this out on my small bench top bandsaw, but i was wondering if an 1/8 inch blade would work better than a 1/4 inch. your blade looks to be a 1/4 inch, but it seems like a smaller one would make it easier.

Thanks- tristin

[Bigwingrider1800]

So what software do you really use. Its not sketchup for all. Im a prototype designer for 34 yrs.Cad (solids) for about 13 yrs cnc,mills well I think you get the picture. Never had to import a jpeg or something to sketch around. Fired up my cad to see if it would (NICE). Im working on a jig to cut diffrent size sprockets. I will send it to ya once i got it(if i can).I just got the ok to add 15 ft to the back my garage will be 888 sq ft(city board). Keep up the vids your very good at it.

Not cheezy, cute is more fitting. It may not be refined but it beats the crap out of what most people do with their spare time. If someone wants more refined they can start with this cut out and spend more time cleaning it up. GREAT WORK Matthias !

[quickfirst]

Nice work I remember doing stuff like that about 30 years ago with a treadle fret saw but much easier and faster with an electric band saw except I probably would not have any fingers after a while.

Thanks, Gareth.

[titeloo77]

C'est fantastique toutes vos idées. J'aime votre travail. More french please...!!

[xenermorph2]

Thanks very much mate, made one, it was awesome :)

[slayerguitar]

made 2 , turned out great.. probably do it with just about any animal

[SquidInvader]

Are you on Instructables? I could swear I saw this on there

[grandexandi]

cute. dont paint it, i like wood pattern

[nibbler125]

i made one out of blue insulation foam and it turned out great! thanks for the free printables.

[mprimecoleman]

Matthias, you have inspired me so much through all of your videos. I approach problem solving in creative ways that I would not have thought of otherwise. Does your band saw have a name? Frankensaw??!!

[MatureViewer]

Yeah, Merry Chritmas, Matthias. That reindeer is so awesome!

[37421255]

what is the name of the software you use to td the sketching?

thanks love the videos.

[Matthiaswandel]

I mention it in the video, also in the article linked from the description.

[nanneken]

@37421255

Sketchup, you can download it for free on the Internet

[WhrsTheMoneyLabowski]

@37421255 its also at the top of the window of the program.

[imbored437]

that is awesome

[deezynar]

Merry Christmas, Matthias.

[mdmccat]

I have done this exact thing with a scroll saw. Including a bear, turkey, squirrel and other animals. Very cool.

[jimham8]

i wonder what kind of blade he uses? i also like how it kind of "falls apart" at the end and there is the reindeer.

[KrisKross010]

thought it was going to be waaaay more complicated than that :p



[Krazykaveman]

Wow cool!

[nelson1tom]

why not use a scrollling saw? is there a reason u didnt use yours?

[Renuzitus]

You should have your own tv show!

[Sodabowski]

Love the sound of the bandsaw :)

[vergaranunes]

Cada dia admiro mais esse cara!!!!

[000Algorithmus000]

nice job and so fast ...amazing

[vanpat1987]

nice ! 

[DUY1337GUITAR]

oh man, I remember seeing a video of someone doing this.. blew me away

[carolinasled]

Good Job, Again and Again.

[RDJim]

You saved christmas!

[FrontalTraction]

I never did this in 8th grade shop! :P

[Pengin002]

it a moose

[threeque]

Not cheesy at all. Lovable.

[HOLLISKID23]

I added a red screw ;)

[Morphis]

...Santa got run over by a Band Saw........Rudolf the Band Saw reindeer..... :)

[74Amighista]

wow , very beautyful project :)

[marcoso94]

you got magic hands, and a very creative mind!

[EmperorAst]

I like how you end up with two halves of another -skinny- reindeer!

[chelonia44]

Always enjoy your videos Mr. W. , but the audio of a band saw sped up makes my teeth itch! YAAAAAGHH , make it stop!!!

[RegiOnTheRecord]

what wood is that?

[Mrcaffinebean]

Wow, you continue to impress me!

[nrdesign1991]

Sehr schön. Jezt verstehe ich noch mehr von 3D-Grafik und Modeling :)

[grubby7911]

does it matter which profile you start with or did you just choose the start with the front profile?

[Matthiaswandel]

It matters. The article (follow the link) covers that.

[adrumlegend]

@grubby7911 it matters because the front profile is simetrical. It would be difficult to attach all the parts with nails if you start with the other profile.

[TheInfamousNun]

He got wood!

[remixmusa]

that's freaking cool!

[Tripp393]

that is so cool

[Comepacmans]

It's awesome! But I don't have wood ><

[topcat4eva]

great vid

[ht1type]

Great video, thanks for sharing your project, nothing cheesey about it, well planned and well done. Hang up a Craftsman sign, you are soo... there!

[ignilc]

does it have a dick

[Cybelemoon]

Love it!

[JARJARMP]

love this video..

not only 5*, but also favorite this one :)

[Hildenbrands]

I wonder just how large of a Reindeer could be cut out with this method.

[TheDivineCellphone]

@Hildenbrands 100x100x100 feet...  you know, in 1:1 size...

[Hildenbrands]

@TheDivineCellphone LOL... Now.. Find me a bandsaw large enough to cut one to that size. :)

[2Excessive4you]

its fun to watch you doing this :)

[EDAM2]

Loved watching how you made this :)

[WeakSignaI]

should paint the screw red. :D

[GorgusGFX]

You make it look so easy. Good job!

[TheFsxmad]

Great video, getting in the Christmas spirit

[ImposingSumo]

Genius.

Sketchup is free you say? Who makes it? I must have that program...

[oOoxelAoOo]

@ImposingSumo Google, but if you're used to more advanced CAD programs you'll find it to be quite limited and a touch annoying.

[ImposingSumo]

@oOoxelAoOo Ha! My good man, I have never used a CAD program in my life! What I was after was something simple that I could apply my limited capacities to, so this may be perfect. Thanks for your reply, I shall track it down.

[oOoxelAoOo]

@ImposingSumo As far as CAD programs go, Sketchup is very user friendly, so yes it's perfect for a beginner :)

[MrZbank]

@ImposingSumo google sketch up

type it in on google you should get a google link where you can download it

[ipullstuffapart]

@ImposingSumo

google..

sketchup.google.com

[HsingG32]

this is awesome!!!

[kikine05]

Awesome :) 

[Doomside]

Turned out real nice :)

[DragOzze]

asssoooom

[stronguy20]

Paint it :)

[Love2Destroy]

seemed a bit over-complex to go into sketchup.

[jjlwis]

HOLY COW... i mean Deer.... that's REALLY GOOD!

[robot797]

can you make one for me?

[maski45]

@robot797 +1 :)

[ils360]

can you send me the plans to that my wood shop teacher would love that

[Serostern]

@ils360 Printscreen^^

[ils360]

@Serostern ??

[Matthiaswandel]

Follow the link in the the description for the article, which links to the plans. The plans are free.

[robert3302]

Your ingenuity never fails to delight! I am most impressed how you did all that freehand detail cutting without losing a leg or an antler! (PS: I don't think it's cheesy at all. It's a lovely little Christmas ornament.)

[DeptulaRacing]

damn bro

[Error081688]

Wow....brilliant again. I've used Sketchup and Solidworks in a similar way, but I never thought of actually cutting in that manner. Well done!

[trainlova12]

at 2:19 your fingers got close!

[ttk1opc]

Have you tried blender? It's free.

[jeriellsworth]

Fun!

[artazhar84]

very nice

[IrishKeshiHead]

not painted or varnished either

[strilight]

Now cut the reindeer in half, carve the inside of the head, and add a small red LED and a battery, and place the LED where the screw was. Now glue the halves together, and you have Rudolph.

[IIGaMeSlaVe540II]

so cool :)

[geneduckett]

neat o !

[lysolbombs470]

Damn, this is cool.

[therealandycook]

awesome

[SAMIMYS]

great ! i love that how you made it, it was very cool.

[Yeti22]

Oh man I want one! I love it!

Awesome video Matthias, as always. =) =)

[bryphi77]

I am surprised that you dont own a full 3d package... With as much creating and tool building as you do... much of your concept work could be done much quicker than on paper.

I was a builder for many years... then I found 3d. I still like to create real things, but money puts a constraint on my real creations. Thats why 3d is so great...

moral of the story... GET PRO!

Your channel is great... and you are a true creator.

[ki6eki]

you were so close in cutting your finger..

[GreatInca]

I like how he uses the bandsaw in ways that you are told never ever to do in junior high shop class.

[Matthiaswandel]

It's also a homemade bandsaw.

[shashoni109]

@Matthiaswandel Your teachers would be so angry with you. :)

[Whitetiger60]

@GreatInca yeah but they tell you alot of pointless stuff so there is no possible way dumb people can get hurt lol

[hi19hi19]

@GreatInca

You have to remember shop class is geared for the lowest common denominator (and even then people still manage to lose fingers!)

Those who are more experienced or just more cautious than average might be able to try their own methods... many safety "rules" are largely just smart guidelines these days and can be broken if you're aware of it and careful.

[piratecheese13]

you sir win at life

[piratecheese13]

@piratecheese13 also make 12 of these a Santa and a sleigh

[Mauser712]

@piratecheese13 Eight tiny reindeer. Learn your Clement Moore!
