I tried to not have any small interior cuts so pin-end blade users can cut this Santa Sleigh. I was able to limit the interior cuts to two, and a 1/4" drill bit will drill the entry hole for the blade. The length of the project is nearly 15" long. You can add more reindeer and go very large. If you added all nine of Santa's reindeer and doubled them up, the project would be around 40" long.
The pattern calls for 1/4" and 3/4" thick wood.
The Smile It Confuses People Pattern is 10.25" wide and cut from two 1/4" thick layers.
TIP: I know this sounds crazy, but my brother used to have a pin-end scroll saw. He would take a pair of pliers and pull the pin out of the blade when he had a small interior cut. After he threaded the blade through the wood, he reinserted the pin and clamped the blade, then made the cut. The blade often has to be replaced after this technique, but when desperate, it works.

Wood density is rated by its mass per unit volume, typically expressed in pounds per cubic foot or kilograms per cubic meter. A more common method for rating wood's hardness, which is closely related to its density, is the Janka hardness test, which measures the force required to embed a steel ball into the wood.

READ: Very Important Information.
I am going to start with the ornaments for people. I will add the Pet ornaments later this week. Every year, I get backed up early, but I will do my best to get the order to you in less than a week. You do not pay until you have the order in your email. These are all shipped by email. No paper delivery.
The price is the same as every year. 5 ornaments minimum for $5, then $1 for each additional ornament. The order form will take 20 names, then if you need more, you will have to start another order.
It is best to use the person's first name. Last names can be too long and very difficult to cut. I will do last names, I just don't recommend them unless they are shorter names. Here is a sample download link for an ornament with a ten-letter last name. Test before you order.
