Great video! Made 4 and now the wife wants more for more of the neighborhood kids. My eyesight ain’t what it used to be so I drew pencil lines from to opposite corners and used my bench top drill press to drill a 1/16 hole at the intersection and used a 1/16’ dowel from Home Depot to help center them as I stacked them up. Thanks again!

Loved this project. We built it in a video that is coming out tomorrow. I tagged you in the video and gave you credit for the project. It was a fun build! Great work!

Hi Andy- really enjoyed your tree video. I am a semi-retired woodworker. I am 74 years old and still do smaller projects. In my career I made architectural millwork items for historic homes. I made doors, windows, fireplace mantels and historic millwork of all types and custom orders of all types. It’s nice to hear someone like you who actually know what they are talking about. I am just now starting to use cyanoacrylate adhesive and am finding it to be very useful. Good work . Keep it up. Petersen Woodworks- Ron Petersen

Great project! Another idea may be to drill a hole in the top for a dowel and you can make different toppers to put on it by having the dowel in the topper. Of course I would make a topper out of the piece you made, but you could do a star or an angel too. Nice job!

I made your wooden stars out of a 2X4 and then out of a 1X2. They are great. I’m going to tackle this tree next. Thank you for the projects.

Awesome video and idea. I'm recovering from hand surgery - but as soon as I can, I will be trying your trees. I read some of the other comments I do like the idea about the dowel that's pretty cool. I'm some of the other comments I do like the idea about the dowel that's pretty cool. keeping everything centered and also for changing out the topper, not sure why anyone would but still cool idea.

Made my first one yesterday…super easy and amazing results

Very nice, irrelevant what angle anyone thinks should have been chosen, you did great. Congrats. Dave & The Girls

I appreciate your videos. I have a few other disabled Veterans that I have come to my house and use my tools and I teach them to make things to sell to help get by. And it's great therapy. So thank you for your inspiration.

I just finished making one of these. I really enjoyed it. Thinking about making more. I went ahead and stained mine.

I love the tree. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.!😊

[kawestley]

I love this tree. As well as yesterday's tree, sent to my husband and sons. Now I'm going to look for the jig

[lucyanneanne]

Just started watching you and have enjoyed what you do, also you make it easy for me to follow what you are doing. I have just started doing woodwork at 73, and having a ball. Thank you

I'm currently sick, impatiently waiting to get back to crafting/ woodworking, but it did help me to stumble across your video! I absolutely love the overall tree concept!! I'm definitely going to give it a once thru myself! I want to play around with top options and possibly a smaller footprint on the base, now that is only because it'll serve my purposes better with more room at the tree base. Thanks so much for the outstanding video, tutorial, and concept! It's great to see something new like this!! Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for this inspiration. My wife was near by me while I'm watching this video and she orderd two of them, but colored and iluminated. Best wishes and greets from Germany

I like the angle of the top, trying to figure out a way to add lights. Great work.

[haveyouseentheone]

Thanks so much. I am a beginner to WWing. I have made (2) already and starting on #3. Instead of the pointy top, I did not want to make the jig, I bought a packet of small wooden angels at Dollar Store. I painted them white and then painted them with silver glitter paint from Micahels. I also painted the tree green and the base brown. I then covered the tree/green part with the glitter paint. It looks like snow. I topped it off with a set of thin white wire lights from Amazon for $5.

I first ripped the pieces down (1) inch larger. (2) 9x9 for the 8 inch pieces, (2) 8x8 for the 7 inch pieces, Once I had all the pieces cut, I used the tablesaw and cut the 30 degree angle on a top side and one of the sides (Not across from each other). Then for the 8 inch pieces I set the tablesaw to 7 5/8 and cut the remaining two sides. I then took the pieces to make the 7 inch pieces and set the saw to 6 5/8. See a pattern? Set the table saw to an inch less plus 5/8.

Bearded viking woodwork sent me here for this project. Thank you for showing this

I like the tree and will make one as well. A note on your Glue Bot I recently learned there is a knob on the top of the container to put the red tip cover on while using it so you don't drag the cover through the glue when using it.

Would also like to see how you cut that peak. Looks like it could be tricky. Love the video and fixing to give it a try for this year.
