• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

The pattern came from the Woodworkers Guild newsletter

The pattern is for 4x2, cut on a bandsaw. I resized it so that I could cut it on the Hegner

80mm high and 20mm thick.

The pattern needs some adjusting to make the reindeer better proportioned, will look later on and see if there is anymore scrap (crap) SA Pine.

Might still paint it bright red

Fresh off the saw (pine always has a nice smell)

Such a simple looking shape but gets across what it is quite clearly. I like it too.
 
Here is the second one in Red.

The blank was at the height limit for the Hegner, so the arm kept on hitting the top.
Took longer to cut.
Also we do not have that blue painters tape. Our tape is 'masking tape' which the saw blade does not like.


Cut and painted

The pair of them next to the xmas glockenspiel.

Just cut a slot in both antlers to rest a name card in - only needs to be the thickness of a piece of paper/card - the reindeer then face the place setting to have the name card facing the place setting.

They would make great name place holders for the table.

I've got a pattern bookmarked from Mathias Wandel. I doubt i will have time to make 10 before christmas day though.
 
I now have some Blue Tape 8-)

Thanks to Woolf (member) for pointing me in the direction of BuildersWarehouse.
I also bought some clear packaging tape.
