Sycamore67 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 A couple of days ago, I posted a picture of a couple of mini Reindeer that were about 7/8" tall. I wondered if I could make some a bit smaller. This is the result with two smaller being 5/8" and the smallest at 7/16". This is the smallest that I can cut. The larger Reindeer were cut from Sycamore and the smaller from Maple. I found the Sycamore was not strong enough for making the small Reindeer. The small ones were cut using a FD #2/0 blade. The pictures below show the setup on my Hegner saw with the lighted magnifying glass. I built a spring jig to hold the small blank and it has sand paper on the inside of the saws to hold the blank tight. The springs allow a tight hold that does not change the pressure as you make the cuts. don watson, jollyred, frankorona and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
