Building a Roadside memorial | Wooden cross

[@charly9411]

Beautiful Cross. I want to make one for my son . You have given me a great tutorial. 🙏. Thanks

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

I just saw this. Sorry for the late reply thank you for the kind words I appreciate it. I’m sorry for your lose I hope you make one for your son. These are an emotionally draining thing for me to make. So I can imagine how it is when the family receives them or makes them on their own.

Great video!

Thanks brother I appreciate the love

Made me cry. So beautiful. Do you use a router for the nothing where they are connected?

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

Thank you for the kind words. These are emotionally draining for me to make. I use a table saw to notch out where the join together. But a router can be used if that is all you have available.

[@greggpospiel629]

Very nice work! I'm not much of a builder so this might sound like a dumb question; is that some type of CNC machine that you used to make the lettering or a router of some type? thanks

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

Thank you very much. I used a cnc for the lettering on this one. Makes quick work of that part.

[@justinedeguzman4959]

Hi There, Just wondering what the cross measurements were and where you marked the horizontal panel to cut out? Thanks in advance

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

To be 100% honest I do lot quite remember. All of the crosses I have made are each a different size. I do math on my dimensions and cut the pieces accordingly. But I always check to see what looks best to the eye. Sorry it’s not super informative hopefully it helps somewhat.

[@willandelfie]

Good if you have the power tools you use not everyone has them

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

Having a shop full of tools definitely helps. But they aren’t necessary to build a simple one. This is just want I use to build mine.

[@amberacosta7948]

[@Outlawssermon79]

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

They are fairly simple to put together but definitely take some time to get just perfect. Hope this helps you out a bit

[@chunkybones668]

What are the dimensions of the wood you used? Is it 2 by?

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

The dimensions of the wood in this one were about 1.5” wide and 1” thick. No it is not a 2x4 this black walnut stock I have in the shop. Hopefully that helps.

[@chunkybones668]

@@johnayalawoodworks5276 thank you!

[@brandonbelcher2309]

The description is building a wood side cross would have been nice to take the music off and explain the dimensions and anything else used.

[@johnayalawoodworks5276]

I appreciate the input. Ive built many of these and I’ve gone over everything used and dimensions on my Instagram but I see where you’re coming from. I wanted this to be more of a tribute rather than a how to build. But I’m the future I’ll make one on how I built them and the process.

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

And your point.

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

First and foremost it's not your video if you want to tell people then make your own video.

[@patrickarchuleta9594]
