as someone who worked on cars frequently before I started woodworking, black nitrile gloves have been amazing for staining wood too! I always keep a few boxes of them for stain applications or if I'm working on a car lol
Have you tried making the long and short diamonds out of 2 different woods? Maybe red cedar for the short diamonds and pine for the long. That way you could make these out of fence pickets and save on materials.
@@cedarriverwoodworking Thanks, one more question on the small star, every thing came out good , but the small star .I cut at 3 3/16" and its short if I do a 4" cut it all works out good ?
Love the star I’m having a hard time cutting small pieces where do you measure the 3 3/16 from when I flip it I get the small piece against the fence obviously I’m doing something wrong
To make a cut larger then 45 degrees is all you have to do is first cut a spare timber at 45 degrees put that back on the saw put your new cut on the 45 degrees cut then change the saw to 9 degrees making a cut of 54 degrees or what ever the difference between 45 degrees and your target cut Example to cut 60 degrees. put your cut on the 45 degrees change cut to 15 you have 60 degrees. simple as that.
Hi Andy, Another great project ! As an experienced hobby woodworker, I would advise against using pocketholes to join up the segments of the star : wood glue would fully suffice, and you don’t have the ugly holes on the rear side either. Also, accuracy in cutting the angles is critical, otherwise there is going to be some spacing between the segments. After cutting the angles on a test piece, the actual angle should be measured on the testpiece, and the miter saw should then be adjusted accordingly (to avoid frustration after a lot of work). Considering the amount of work that goes into this star, 20 to 25 bucks doesn’t sound like a lot of money to me..💵🤷🏼♂️
I appreciate the time that you took to write your comment and you can build them however you would like. With the cost of one of these boards around $3.50 and the fact I can build one under 30 min, a person can make over $40/hr selling these. When I batch them out I can make about 4 an hour and thay makes it about $85/hr. That sounds like you're making some really big bucks if you're scoffing at that. 🤷🏽♂️
@ I agree that when the star is produced in batches then the (for me, low) costs you mentioned could be justified. I was not scoffing in any way at the price you mentioned, indeed on the contrary, I intended my comment to be a compliment and a justification for a fine piece of workmanship and art. 👍👍👍
@ no it’s definitely not music. You can listen to music many other ways. Informational and helpful videos like these are much better. Thank you and keep up the good work
An extreme angle jig for the miter saw will let any miter saw cut just about any angle. It basically makes 0° a 45° angle.
Correct
Not sure if you watched the whole video but he actually covers his extreme angle jig starting around 7:20.
@@alexreid4131 Thanks for time stamping that for me.
@@cedarriverwoodworking you were too polite and modest to point it out yourself brother. I got you 🙏
Another winter, seasonal project I’d like to see your spin on would be some sort of decorative sleigh!
I will get some ideas made up. I appreciate the idea.
Hey Andy! Another great video and build! Thanks for sharing with us! Another set of plans I may need to purchase from your Etsy shop!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support as always.

Those are good, but I recently found these and love them, they are thicker and more durable amzn.to/4hVTuqj
Oh my gosh this star is gorgeous 😍 ❤!!!!
Thank you!

I really like that idea. I'll have to give it a try.
Great build!
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing . ? what router bit did you use ?, Thank you
Thanks for your support. I use this one amzn.to/4gPjnGR

it will be from the long point on the parallelogram when I say flip i mean roll it and keep that same point into the stop block.
What worked for me was 3 13/16, which is the length of all the inside edges. I'm still working on the longest piece ;-)
Hi Andy
Your blueprints are only available in inches, or do you have any in centimeters? Greetings from Belgium. Robert.
Hey Robert,
Unfortunately at this time I only have measurements in imperial.
no problem Andy. Then we will have to convert everything. Thanks for your response. 😅
How do you like your Hercules miter saw?
It's been great. My only complaint is the rails that stick out of the back, it would be nice to be able to slid it back against the wall.
Milwaukee saws made in same COMMUNIST CHINA PLANT , SO AMERICAN BRAND MEANS NOTHING!

It sounds like you've watched this video. ua-cam.com/video/JmUylRsPjgY/v-deo.html
good stuff!
Appreciate it!
💙🙏😇🍀
Thanks
I'm having trouble cutting the last piece for the 8 point star I need advice
What's going on with it?
Saw dust & wood
always a possibility to use, but difficult to sand out of the router grooves.
Cool video! Just curious, are you in the CR area?
Thank you for your support.

Thank you. Yes you can absolutely spend a ton more time on building and perfecting these. I appreciate the comments and your support.
I like watching your videos. But the only downside is your videos are the only ones I cannot minimize if I need to.
I have also noticed that. I will look into the settings and see why that is. I know you can't minimize music, but this definitely isn't music.
@ no it’s definitely not music. You can listen to music many other ways. Informational and helpful videos like these are much better. Thank you and keep up the good work
Oh i meant if you listen to music on UA-cam it doesn't let me minimize, I will check out the settings and see what I can come up with.
@ I knew what you meant
You are looking at 54 degrees wrong. think 36 with a fixture
I'm not sure what you mean.
Watch Saw Fist and Wood
I'm sorry what?
