Popular Post Sycamore67 Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 My wife and I were decorating the Christmas tree and I opened a box of ornaments that I had made. These are my favorites. The little reindeer in the ornament is just over 1/2" tall. jollyred, Tomanydogs, amazingkevin and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Here is a picture of the front and the side of the compound cut bird that was cut from Cherry. It is cut in two pieces...the wings and the body. leshko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I cut the tiny Reindeer with a FD #1 blade on my Hegner using a jig like shown below but smaller. It is similar to the one Steve Good shows but I use springs on the 10-24 bolts. I find that without the springs that the piece will come loose as you cut it. I also use sandpaper on the inside to hold the piece tight. I am using a 3X Ottlite which has a very good glass lens. Another change to the jig has been to add some small knobs on top of it to more easily hold the jig. I find that I tend to grip the jib too tightly and it causes me to have cutting problems and sore hands. I like to cut the very small ones from Maple or some other fine grain hardwood without strong growth rings like Oak, Ash and some others. leshko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
