This is sick! Thanks for the pointers & no shenanigans.

My pleasure!

Good work randy this is sam

@@samsandher9760 Hi Sam! So good to hear from you! Stay tuned for more awesome videos lol. Hope you are doing well :) Cheers

I am a beginner with miter saw. Learning with you tube. You are the only one so far that does one of the safety rules which is let the blade stop spinning after your cut. I am subscribed and hope I can learn from you

[@user-gg4of8kj6y]

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing the well made and detailed vid

[@krisscramer]

I have read and watched a lot of how-to’s, and by far, your tutorial on how to cut the angles for the star is the absolute best. Thank you for such a nice video with clear and concise instructions.

[@savvybuilds]

Thank you, glad it helped! I appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks! I thought so too. I tried to make this video more concise and to the point.

Wow great advices 👍

Fine job explaining it all sir. My saw only goes to 54 to the left so i'm trying to figure it out backwards now..

[@Poikka65]

What about cutting 9 degs on piece of wood , then put that on the piece you are cutting at 45 degs ?

[@charliethomas8253]

you have the best u tubes by far the texas star very clear and easy to follow. you made the texas star dummy proof. i would like to see you make a 3d star there is a few people out there but instructions are very poor. if you could give it a go you would be a super star.

[@savvybuilds]

Dude I 'm so glad you said this. I am currently working on an epic jig for making 3d stars. Big ones! It's gonna be unlike anything anyone has ever seen!

[@savvybuilds]

@@charliethomas8253 I did! Looks great! I finished the filming, just working on editing and trying to present it in a way that makes sense. It was tricky.

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

Hey Brother. Great Idea on the Bamboo Screwers.😲 That can help with sooooo many other projects.🤔 I'm ready to go get an 8' 2"×12" and go to town😎. If I make a 36" or a 42", it's all your fault.🤩

[@savvybuilds]

Thanks! I use them all the time. Great for fixing broken furniture too. That's gonna be a huge star! Let me know how big it is when you finish. I'm curious.

[@marybraunlich]

I stumbled upon your video on Facebook, (THANKFULLY!) and cannot wait to make the 6 point star. I'd love to have the link for the 8 point star please. Have a blessed Christmas!

The reason I have jumped into wood building is I am in process of building a house. There was so ! much lumber left over. I could not let it waste. I have so much to learn and with saws. Spooky

[@roxsanaballard8527]

What are the exact measurement if I would do this with fabric?

[@jerryagnello2878]

I normally cut 4 pieces to the required angles and cut 3 of the angles sides on the 5 th peice and then glue up the 4 pieces then i will place the 5 peice in place and mark the last cut on it as it is not always the exact angle so that way you can mark it and cut it at whatever angle it is. it could be one or two degrees off either way

[@savvybuilds]

This is actually an excellent suggestion! I keep learning new things from everyone's comments. Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try. Cheers!

[@joannarobert2585]

good video! thanx

[@marknoviskie2178]

If you wanted a larger star what could a 2x10 do if so do you know Measurements txs

[@hythewoodworkdesigns]

Ok. Now for something slightly different. I'm trying to cut a similar size 5 point star from a single piece of wood that's been glued into panels on the bandsaw. I've lasered the shape onto the wood & now need to cut it out perfectly straight, but I cannot for the life of me find a jig to assist in this. I looked at manipulating a bowtie jig by making it larger & adjusting the angles, but I just cannot get it to work. Any ideas??

[@michaelclardy531]

Very nice. Does this technique work with all board thicknesses?

[@savvybuilds]

Angles stay the same but lengths change. For example you don't have to cut them as long when using a 2x4 or 1x4. There's a few more vids on my channel that might help. Thanks for watching!

[@JohnLecuyer-e5v]

Good Day. i am planning on making a hexagon planter box from 2x4. I was wondering which bevel angle would be best. 30 degrees or 31.6 degrees. Looking forward on your reply. Thanks, enjoying your videos.

[@savvybuilds]

That's a good question. Mathematically it should be 30 on the miter saw but If you end up with gaps it might be better to go a little beyond 30. I think 31.6 might be too much though.

[@JohnLecuyer-e5v]

.thanks for your reply. It was helpful. Will let you know how it turns out.

EXCELLENT VIDEO BEAUTIFUL Do you Sell these? ... and if so... How much?

[@savvybuilds]

Thank you! I'm just focusing on making videos at the moment but I'll probably have to consider selling some off in the future because they are staring to pile up lol

[@JudiChristopher]

@@savvybuilds I am in the midst of moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio... I think/feel when the students SEE a Golden STAR... they'll feel they have made a difference... If and when you sell these... no need to paint them, I'll paint them or let the Acting Students paint them, Thank you so much for your consideration.

[@HouseScraper]

Nice work where can I find your video for saw that only go to 45 degree ?

[@savvybuilds]

Thanks here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4uTq6mceJ2ljJIsi=el11VDJ2Xx_0yCOd

[@marksigeti2022]

😊how do you figure out the angles for smaller stars

[@savvybuilds]

I have some other videos for smaller stars on my channel that might help. Buy basically the smaller the stock, the smaller the star. ie, if you star with a 1x4, the angles stay the same but you need to cut them shorter.

[@NVCINC]

Is it the same angles for other dimensions of lumber?

[@savvybuilds]

Yes, the angles stay the same but how long you need to cut them changes.

[@michelebillingsley674]

What size drill bit did you use?

[@savvybuilds]

1/8 of an inch. Matched my bamboo skewers. Some skewers are bigger or smaller so I adjust accordingly. Thanks for watching :)

[@JamesSmullins]

Cool but it's not a Texas star, the lonestar is a 3d star. Center of each point sits higher than the sides.

[@savvybuilds]

I've got future plans for 3d beveled stars. Still making some final adjustments. Stay tuned.

[@vizioasdf]

You just clarified your own comment. Texas Star is what he did. Texas Lonestar is a 3D Star.
