Last of the Mini

[Sycamore67]

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.

Nicely done.

 

The spring holder is a GREAT IDEA!  Thanks.

They are way too big.:)

Obviously joking. I don't know how you can do that. Excellent cutting.
