![]() ![]() I had a great time with this project and I made a PDF file you can download. I think you can figure out how it is supposed to go together. I’m more of a technician than an artist.Īfter the paint has dried, it is time for assembly. It is time to paint! I went with a simple white, but you can unleash your inner artist and make this fit your décor and level of creativity! Or you can keep it simple, like I did. As you cut the slots, only cut them about four to five inches deep for the legs and body and as wide as your plywood. The slots need to be set to the width of your plywood so the marks on the template are for angle only. I did not cut the assembly slots during the initial cutting. Make sure you remain aware of where you positioned the roller as you cut. I left the entire sheet of ply intact and used an adjustable roller to support one side. Lay the pattern back down and repeat on the other side. ![]() Raise the pattern on one side and spray the plywood with some spray adhesive. ![]() There will be some overhang on three sides. Once it is all taped together, position it on your plywood so the entire drawing is on it. My original printout did not have numbers and you will get a good chuckle watching me sorting it all out after the pages got shuffled. I included page numbers to make things nice and easy. The pattern will cover one half of a sheet of 4X8 ply so you can make two reindeer if you like. You can print out the template and lay it out on your plywood. I found some inspiration for this project on the internet and in some old photos and made it super easy to do. Younger children will get a kick out it and it gets you out in the shop for some quality time with your tools. Why? Because this holiday project is meant to be viewed from the sidewalk or the street. After it’s finished, any minor (or even a little more than minor) imperfections don’t matter. The bulk of the work is done with a jigsaw and some sandpaper. This is an amazing project for beginners. ![]() It is the holiday season, so it is time for a holiday project. ![]()
