Thanks for watching, Let me know which project you are going to make first 😊 and please show me your finished work by sending it via email.

[@garyperrin8172]

I will be making the candle holder they look great if i can. I am 78 & live in Nova Scotia great place

[@standishwoodstory]

That’s wonderful, let me know how yours turns out :)

[@user-yy1vg9jx5t]

I watched several of your Christmas projects last night and was impressed with your work. Your projects are simple and fun to make and of course to share. Here comes a but, I don't know how long you have been doing this type of work, and I am jealous of your shop, but it is important that you explain your techniques and refer to your tools accurately. The clamp that is mounted on your workbench is actually a 'vice,' and I am not saying a naughty deed. I am not a pro, but just anal about spelling and names. Keep up the good work.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks for watching :)

[@iguesi]

Your honesty is SO refreshing! Fun projects.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks for watching @iguesi and I am glad you liked the video. Many more vids coming!

[@Poikka65]

I liked the candle holders

[@Royalblue73]

I just recently discovered your channel and already find myself looking for more and more of your videos. One thing that respect about this video was that you didn’t edit out a “mistake” and instead used it as a teachable moment for the rest of us. Thank you for your work and these videos really are helpful. God bless

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you so much for the kind feedback, really appreciate it 😊

[@expatmoose]

I’m a Christmas tree kinda gal, the more the merrier, so number 2 first then 1 then 3 cos cards are not so popular here, Thx for showing, greetings 🇩🇪

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks for sharing. The 2nd one is also my favourite ❤️

[@SpideyScott72]

3 projects, each with clear instruction in under 16 minutes. That's outstanding! Thanks for the ideas from the video! Well done!

[@standishwoodstory]

You are most welcome, I’m glad you found the video useful :)

[@Oneazazal]

These all seem pretty straightforward to make. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@standishwoodstory]

Glad you like them!

[@joemissanelli3395]

Great woodworking! I am going to make the Christmas tree…..

[@standishwoodstory]

Excellent @joemissanelli3395! Feel free to send me some pictures at [e-mail] and I will feature you in my weekly newsletter:)

[@TheWendyJohnson]

These are great, straightforward gift ideas. I like anything to do with candles so the candle holder is right up my alley. Tip: Be sure to get your letter out to Santa in the North Pole about wanting a drill press for Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻 Glædelig jul!

[@standishwoodstory]

Great tip indeed 💌 …. Hopefully Santa can help me decide which one to get too ;)

[@arawtgabi]

I love the candle holder. Your work is very inspiring! Thank you.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you so much @arawtgabi! I have only been woodworking for 6+months and am completely addicted to it:)

[@larrystone5749]

[@standishwoodstory]

[@katspeace5550]

Great Projects! Love that live edge 🔥💜🔥

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@barriowoodworks]

Really like the second option with candle. Well done.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you! 😁

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Winnie, I love the candle holder. I've learned that when you combine 2 or more different types of wood you usually end up with an unexpected and usually surprisingly pleasant final result. I suspect I'll be heading out to the scrap pile tomorrow to see what I have waiting to become this candle holder. I'll send a picture once it is done. Thanks for Sharing!

[@standishwoodstory]

I look forward to seeing how your candle holders turns out with your scrap wood, and fully agree combining woods always lead to fun and unique combinations:)

[@SissieKelley714]

Hello from Texas- just found your channel and love your work !Definitely love the candle holder - can’t wait to see what else you do -God bless

[@standishwoodstory]

Hello @SissieKelley714, thank you so much for your positive feedback. Comments like this are great motivators to share my love of woodworking with our community. Onwards and upwards!

[@alexandr9180]

Отличная работа👍

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks you :)

[@wulfgars1114]

I like the realtor christmas card joke at the end and cool and simple projects🎉🪵

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you

[@EMWoodworking]

Very nice projects. When I’m making candle holders I use a forstner bit 1 1/2” for tea lights. I find it a little easier to control than a spade bit.

[@standishwoodstory]

That is great advice, thank you, I have following invested in a Forstner bit set myself and I fully agree that it makes for much quicker work :)

[@pawej6282]

I really respect that you didn't hide your mistake 🎄. Great projects!

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you and I personally find that 80% of woodworking is learning what to do when things do go wrong or as non intended, ‘happy accidents’ right :)

[@seaubtand3470]

Hard to choose, but the Christmas tree candle holder isnmy favorite🌲🕯️

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks for watching and I definitely like the Christmas Candle Tree as well 😍

[@dgperforms1]

Who plays guitar? Looks like a nice Fender Amp there!

[@standishwoodstory]

Hello @dgperforms1, my husband and daughters have been known to strum a chord or two. Thanks for watching 👍

[@jyttejensen2809]

Det er rigtig fint😊

[@standishwoodstory]

Tak :)

[@cliff5240]

Nice job! Like the card holder, mostly because of the beautiful wood. You are going to be amazed when you finally get a drill press. I can't believe I went so long without one.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks. I do need a drill press lol. Any recommendations for which one to get? Or what features to look for?

[@cliff5240]

@@standishwoodstory This is the one I got because I just wanted a bench top. I didn't have the need for a floor model JET JWDP-12, 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press, 1/2HP, 1Ph 115V (716000)

[@cliff5240]

I like that I don't have to change belt location when changing the speed on it

[@dianemacfie-loucks6392]

Love to see a women and Canadian at that doing these videos. Love to see your mishaps and corrections in the video. Instructions are great! I would remove the music though.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you for your support and feedback, much appreciated :)

[@mandi1644]

crooked tree, I think you need a sled for cutting at an angle on a band saw❤

[@standishwoodstory]

Try tilting your head to get a better view. Thanks for watching!

[@higgiepop158]

👍💯👍💯

[@standishwoodstory]

😊

[@hollynelson2835]

I love the Christmas card holder! I don’t have a table saw, is there another tool I could use to make this?

[@standishwoodstory]

Yes this could also be done with a router with a small straight bit and a straight edge to ride along 🙂

[@lytsabr]

I really like the candle holder. I am curious though, why use a sharpie on wood?

[@standishwoodstory]

The thicker sharpie line makes it much easier to see when cutting the pieces using a bandsaw or jigsaw. However I did learn a lesson, do not add sharpie to the end-grain part of the wood as the ink soaked into the grain making it more difficult to sand off after. I may switch to a caulk pen in the future.

[@papaducky]

We like the Christmas tree candle holder, that's cute. A question, my wife and I were trying to figure out is where your accent came from. Please share and settle a small debate.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you, and happy to help you settle the debate but you’ll have to promise to tell me who the winner was ;) my accent is Danish. Born and raised in 🇩🇰 Denmark. However been living in Canada 🇨🇦 for the past 19 years. Who won?

[@papaducky]

@standishwoodstory I said Canadian, but my wife thought maybe polish. She says that makes me the winner!!!! Boo yaa!!! We enjoy your channel, thanks for the reply. Blessings on you.

[@Poikka65]

​@@standishwoodstoryI knew it , lm living in Finland, so I guessed right 👍

[@standishwoodstory]

@@papaduckyawesome thanks for sharing the result, and also thanks for the support :)

[@standishwoodstory]

@@Poikka65nice, those Scandinavian accents can be tricky to figure out, guess it takes one to guess one ;)

[@wj84]

Would you ever use a jigsaw to cut out the Christmas tree projects?

[@standishwoodstory]

Yes if you don’t have a bandsaw a jigsaw is a great option. Look at scrolling blades as these offer better flexibility making it a bit easier to get around the curved
