I made two new sets of these tiny reindeer last night. The antlers are challenging to cut and separate from the wood without breaking them. This time I managed to get them cut without breaking anything.
I used an Excalibur EX21 scrollsaw and Pegas Modified Geometry 3R blades. #3 blades cut slower, but I get a much smoother cut than I would get using a #5 blade. I could probably cut them faster without the reverse tooth blades. The wood used for this herd of reindeer is poplar I purchased from one of the big box stores.
I print the patterns on heavy paper with a laser printer and Inkscape. After cutting the patterns to size, glue them onto the wood using 3m 77 spray adhesive. The patterns are glued directly to the wood. There is no need to remove the patterns since they are on the waste wood. I must mount the patterns straight, or the reindeer will be distorted.
The total time to make these was about three hours.
