    Lots of “shorts” on how to do this but a beginner like me appreciated the longer step by step and the measurements put on the screen. Thank you.

    Nice project. If you assemble the sides first you can have all the screws on the inside. Then screw the top together.

      Yes but if one piece gets off the overlap mark, its very noticeable and it's too late to fix it

    • @brianfaust8714

      Just make a jig that allows the pieces to be assembled with exact spacing each time. No need to mark pieces, and speeds up the process.

    Thank you for this video! Your directions are spot on. I delivered three of them to my daughter for outside decorations. She absolutely loves them. She is going to add lights to them. I did a wood burn on one of them. Looks pretty cool! Your video made this a four project to complete all three. Thanks again, and Happy Holidays.

    Great video, detailed and easy to follow. What I did to have the screws on the inside was screw the top two pieces together, then screw the two left pieces using the 2 inch spacing to complete the left side. Then, I separated the top two pieces and screwed the two right-hand pieces on from the inside. Once both sides were complete, I screwed the top two pieces back together and completed the tree, putting on the bottom and base. If all the cuts and spacing are accurate, it went together fine.

    Fun project. Very informative throughout. Most UA-camrs fail on that when they post their videos. I would like to add instead of using screws, use wood glue and 2.5 inch brad nails. Makes the build much faster. If you're comfortable using screws, pre drill your holes and use a countersink bit. Not critiquing just helpful advice. Look forward to seeing all your future builds

    FYI,,,, if you want to remove pencil marks and don't want to send or can't send, you can use denatured alcohol either on a rag or a paper towel and just rub it right out and comes right off.

    Great project but you're totally measuring wrong for accurate cuts you mark on the top and line it up with the blade. Also one of the worst things you can ever do to ruin your hearing is run a saw. Hearing protection so you don't end up like me (professional sawyer of 20+ years)

    • @sau1itud366

      The hearing protection is no joke. I worked in a cabinet shop for 18 years, and now I wear hearing aids.

    What kind of wood is best? Dimensional lumber or pressure-treated lumber or something else? I’m planning on staining it. Thanks I love this. Going to try and make a few.

    • @paulsylvester1394
      @paulsylvester1394 Рік тому +1

      Not pressure treated. The wood is wet and full of chemicals and you don’t need that protection!

    Try a 'wooden' Christmas tree - 'wood' is a noun - 'wooden' is the adjective (well, it is in the UK).

    • @woodcraftblueprints
      @woodcraftblueprints  4 місяці тому +1

      I'm aware of that but viewers search for WOODEN so that's why I use and include it in keywords.
