    I think if I moved that fast on the band saw there would be finger parts laying around.

      I have seen this process in real life, not in the video. A vendor at woowdworking show made a smaller version of such deer right in front of me. It took him probably less than 2 min of cutting, no marking in advance. He must have done a thousand of deers practicing. Interestingly - except for size it was basically same figurine. What caught my attention - the guys seemed to have ignored rules of minimum radius. At least it seemed that way. I must say it does work as demonstration of blade quality. I do have a blade from this guy (Olson All-Pro).

        That was cool, but can he cut in a straight line?

          Seriously, though, how is that done with without snapping the blade. With a 3/8" blade onboard I'm a huge chicken at making sharp angles(well, sharp for me at least)!

            that blade is at max 1/4" and you'll notice he gets the blade in a pretty good twist. with blades that small you don't really use any guides on the sides of the blade because you aren't really looking to cut straight lines.

                I watched that video about a half a dozen time and then tried to duplicate what he did. Here's what I ended up with

                  Also have seen this done at a WW show. I'm sure it takes much practice to perfect. I wonder how many headless reindeer ended up in the scrap heap?

                    Watching it is cool, but if you just had a bunch of the "headless" dear lying around, it would make for a better conversation starter.
