Yeah, nice! If people were particular about angles, they could drill a hole through the center of each layer and fit a dowel so that they could spin to get different patterns.
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!
That's exactly what I was thinking for a topper. Another thing was to cut shallow groove under each point to the center, and then drill a hole at each point, and then mount an LED light at each point with the wires run underneath in that shallow groove to the center and down to the base and out to a power source. I'm going to screw around with this idea. Really a great base project with a lot of potential for anyone to make it their own. Keep up the great work.
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!
@cedarriverwoodworking I'm up in waterloo, I do some part-time work as an arborist and sawyer, so if you ever need rough sawn lumber or slabs, I know a guy that has lots!

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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
This is great. I have been making family members would gifts for Christmas for years and I'm starting to run out of fresh ideas. I have watched 2 of your videos today, and will continue to watch more!! Thanks!!!
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
Love this tree!! Made it yesterday and it looks great. Built the sharp angle cutting jig too. It works great. Your videos make your projects easy to duplicate. Thanks for sharing!!
I've seen you in the comments on several of my videos and I really appreciate the support and the encouragement. It's because of people like you that I will continue making videos.
I have to say I just found this channel, and so far I really like it. It’s one of the few I subscribe to. Straight forward no drama or fluff. Keep it up.
Since you already made one, I thought my build may add something. 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’ve just watched this and as a professional joiner machinist who works on architectural designs and some really complicated joinery this is without doubt a brilliant piece of work. It’s simple but complex at the same time. Truly brilliant. If I would add a simple change , angle the base but brilliant! ❤❤
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
First time I’ve found one of your vids on UA-cam - what a great project 😊. With the 3 blocks you laminate together for the ‘pot’ the tree sits in, that would look cool mitred in the opposite direction, so it tapers out & up towards the base of the tree!
Ok ok...I will subscribe...but not because you are a super smart and talented man but also you are as cute as a speckled pup in a red wagon....I really like your Christmas tree ideals (this one and the other one) So I am looking forward to seeing what else you can create whether it is for the holidays or just something whimsical and exciting! Keep up the good work.
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.
The top thingy that "holds" that dangly thingy don't really work, i put a rubber band around the bottom of the gluebot and then just secure the dangly thing with the rubber band, easy peasy and more secure
I've had mine for about a month. I feel lucky that I realized the notch and what it is used for. mine is holding the nipple consistently, but I can see where it might be inconsistent from bottle to bottle. Nice feature , but but not the most high tech design.@@striker99109
Great video! And I subscribed. Love your Christmas tree project - and the useful instructions. Please keep mentioning the safety info. I'm a 75 year old newly to woodworking so keep it simple for me your other multi-growth ring subscribers,
Love the look! I'm going to make one as a test. If Momma likes it I'll do some more & give them as Christmas gifts. I especially like the fact that you are using "common man" tools & not flaunting Festool et al.! That means so much to me! Oh!... I subscribed & will watch everything you produce (so long as you continue catering to us "lowlife" woodworkers! LOLOL
Haha I still dream of all those tools, it's selling projects like these and my tables that will help afford them. I appreciate the support and I hope to continue to make videos that everyone enjoys.
I like this project a whole lot!! Such a neat video!! I like the steeple just as you have done it! Thank you for solving this year’s Christmas project!! Now to get to Lowe’s and get my project lumber and get busy!
Great video. I surprised my wife with the one I made and she loved it. She had me paint it a shade of green and sprinkled some white and silver glitter on it to make it look like snow. It came out really good.

Thank you very much for a very clear explanation. This was a terrific video for folks looking for a cool Christmas project. I'm going to make two of these. Really appreciate the details you provided such as angles and stop blocks.

Thank you for such a wonderful idea and great vid. I am making one and I am guessing the top is from a 2x2. That is what it looks like! Thank you again.
Great project, thanks for sharing! It might be cool to stain each piece a different color (green, red, blue) before stacking. Also, please get yourself a FastCap 10 Million Dollar Stick for that miter station!
Very nice, irrelevant what angle anyone thinks should have been chosen, you did great. Congrats. Dave & The Girls

Clever idea. This may be the holiday gift I make for my coworkers?
Sounds like a good gift.
I just finished making one of these. I really enjoyed it. Thinking about making more. I went ahead and stained mine.
How do you like it stained?
What color did you stain it?
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

I have watched 2 of your videos today, and will continue to watch more!!
Thanks!!!
I'm glad you're enjoying them. If you make this for one of them, remember to sand the edges. They can be a little sharp with all the angles.

Drill a hole in the center of each piece. Then you can use a dowel to center each piece on top of the last, including the top.
A great option.

I'm excited to set up my workshop on our new property and start making things!

Angle good and a steeper one would look great two.
What angle would you suggest?

Cool tree. I’m just about to start making some Xmas trees - this will definitely be among them - probably a much bigger one, too. Thanks.
Thank you very much. You'll have to let me know how the bigger tree turns out.
Great project, thanks for sharing! It might be cool to stain each piece a different color (green, red, blue) before stacking. Also, please get yourself a FastCap 10 Million Dollar Stick for that miter station!
That's the second time that I have gotten that suggestion. I will take a look at them. amzn.to/499WJpI these here?
Yes sir, that's the ticket! On sale, too!@@cedarriverwoodworking
