Very good dennis… LOL

And can you tell which one is the real ”Rudolf” and which are just wanna be’s!!!!!

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

Very nice idea and project. Only to have a bandsaw

-- Dominic, Trinity, Florida

Bandsaw’s do come in very handy… I am lucky I have three of them an 2 older Craftsmans that I use for smaller stuff and a Power Matic 14” with a 6” riser block that I use for resawing mainly.

Thank you for the complement.

I am guessing the third Rudolf from the left is the real Rudolf.

That is one of the Wanna be’s but a good guess Buckskin…..

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

These are cool.

I wood not want to guess which one is Rudolf. Wait, wait, I think I saw him…....

-- Stevethepeeve -- I'm no rocket surgeon

Thank you Steve. I think you probably did see him…...

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

that’s one way to use up a 2×4!... we have a similar one on our tree.

I bet those reindeer would just “fly” off the shelves in a store. It just be-”hoofs” you to make more of these for gifts. Ok, ok I’ll stop, I know I’m “sleighing” you. right…

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

you hit it right on the “nose”, Rob.. now be a “deer” and “reign” in your wit be”claus”e my sides are slipping from laughter

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I saw him. I saw him. I saw him lumbering about.

-- Stevethepeeve -- I'm no rocket surgeon

ha.. did you have the swagger of a Jock as he was Lumber-ing?

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Rob, Debbie and Steve,

You all are something else ROFLOL!!!!!! I guess I best “Lumber” out to the shop and see if I can “reign” in some more 2×4’s “claus”s I need to make more.

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

well get Dashering to it.. and you might want to Dancer your way to put a smile on someone’s face, you know, maybe a Vixen might be watching, ... and in case Cupid is watching, you might want to Don-ner some special clothing or aftershave… . you get the picture

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Now that is a good one….. and I got the picture as described below…..

I was out in the shop when my “Vixen” appeared she “Dasher”ed over by me and ‘Comet”ted what in the “Blitzen” are your making my “Cupid”. I said with a grin, as I “Prancer”ed past her while “Donner”ing a dust mask, why I am making more “Rudolf”s and “Dancer”s my sweet…

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

I think I’m gonna pun-uke…

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX
