Hello👋🙋♂️ there.. Amazing and very interesting project.. Super like👌👌👌 Thanks for sharing👍 Do keep posting new ideas💡💡💡. Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes✨✨✨ The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Brett. I am in a manual wheelchair & am wondering, could I possibly cut each piece angled individually as it might be difficult, if not unsafe for me to cut the whole length with a circular saw? Would it work out the same?
A miter is when two boards are cut on the angle that fit each other a bevel is a bevel. you had that right idea for it. what you’re cutting is just an angle
I finished mine ... finally. Decided to stain it brown, but not perfectly. I wanted it to look uneven and more 'wild'. Painted the base brown (because I had brown paint handy) and danish oiled the star, made from poplar I think, to keep it light. Looks pretty good. I'll string some lights around it and see what happens. BTW, I didn't spiral it - l like it better with the branches randomly placed. Thanks for the video. It was nice to be able to finish something.
Hi Brett’s I have a question I make the tree both sides are straight I only have a hand drill I just can’t seem to drill the first hole center 3/4 inch in it just want to walk I even did a starter hole but the 5/8 drill want to walk I think I go buy a drill press any help would be greatly appreciated thanks bill
I bought 5/8s dowels but drilled 3/4 holes by mistake, went and got 2 3/4 dowels as i started my second tree luckily i only drill 5 and the second tree so started over using 5/8 drill
Thanks! It's not too soon to start making stuff for Christmas. One of these days I'll be posting an updated video with suggestions from another viewer.
The block I used at the miter saw was just a straight edge to line up the pieces. The angle on it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s straight. Hope that makes sense…
The very top slat is about 2 1/4” at the long point. The bottom slat will depend on how tall you make your tree. I have measurements for the various heights in the description.
I made one of these and had to sand down the dowel and sand the holes in each branch. How did you not have to do that? My dowel was 3/4" (it's what I could get) and I used a 3/4" Forsner bit. But nothing fit without all the extra sanding (which was a pain). Your video is great. Just found you. Already subscribed.
I had the same problem with the 3/4 dowel. I sanded it down by putting a screw in the middle of the dowel and then put the screw in a drill and running 100 sandpaper over the dowel. It took about 5 minutes!
@@rpaulvan Thanks. I'll do that next time. I'm new to wood working and still learning the tricks. That would have been a lot easier than doing the sanding by hand. :)
excellent 👍👌 the 3 foot is the one i was plannkng to do ..i did a 6 foot but it takes to much room and it was close to 60 meters of wood or 180 feet to much work ...because the saw🪵 mill ..is close to my house i bought the wood already trimmed to 1inch by 1/2.. i want to try now. the 1.1/2 inches by 1/2 inch ..i think it will look a lot better
