[Woodcarver] Small Santa / wizard pattern

[Donna Menke]

Wow, Corey, that fellow is such a prolific video maker. 470 uploads! And from the sampling I did they are very well done. What a boon to the beginning carvers to have so many projects illustrated for them.
The only thing I didn't care about was his band saw technique. I about had a stroke when I saw how close he ran his fingers to the blade. I just finished cutting out 16 3-D mice for the carving cruise students and my fingers never came within a couple of inches of the blade. I use an old wooden push stick a lot to support the piece and allow me to maneuver it while keeping a safe distance from the blade.
And his table is not square to the blade- OK, so I'm a band saw snob!
