Coop Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 I have had a template for a few years that I got from somewhere on the Internet and also Kev traced one for me but it was almost identical to the one I had. I’ll trace the one I have and post it here. Then to vary the size, simply, vary the size on your printer. The nose and feet, I got from a YouTube video that I will try and find. He also separated the antlers like one of my cherry ones but it just added to the sanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Here is the link to the YouTube video. Hmmm, I guess more than the link but the video itself. I amaze my self at times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted December 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 And pics of the templates and the way it is laid out on the wood. You can reverse the direction the deer is facing by reversing the template on the face of the wood. If you are unable to print from here, let me know and I will email it to you. I plan on using 5 of these in some sort of Christmas game with the grandkids and niece and nephew. Not completely sure yet the format but each will given a dollar amount, covered by a piece of tape. Maybe like a white elephant or “Let’s Make a Deal” kind of game. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legenddc Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 My reindeer was beheaded tonight so I just bought the $2 plan and will make a new one this week. Drilling the legs and antlers out will save a lot of time. Thanks for the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I had never thought about drilling the holes on my previous ones. Yes it does save a lot of time. I was constantly making relief cuts in those two areas. Much easier sanding for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I don't think any one is going to beat Krtwood this year. I'm following his instagram and he's making like 500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like he's shooting for a contract to make 5,000 or something. I'm assuming moor details to come in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Damn! I can’t imagine. Cutting and sanding a dozen of these for the kiddos Christmas game has put callouses on my finger tips. As I don’t do any kind of social media, keep me/us updated or maybe he will chime in. Thanks.

Popular Post Coop Posted December 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I think for our Christmas gathering, those that are under 21 yo, to get my two grandkids involved, I will call it “Let’s Make a Reindeal” and I will offer them a $ amount for their deer. Still toying with the rules of the game! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
