How to Build a Wood Christmas tree from 2x4 lumber (3 foot tall)

[@davidcarlson7395]

Thank you for posting this video. I made 2 of these. I modified the dimensions to make them shorter. I painted them an evergreen and added lights to them. They will sit on my front porch steps when I put up my xmas lights

[@brianfaust8714]

Nice project. If you assemble the sides first you can have all the screws on the inside. Then screw the top together.

[@woodcraftblueprints]

Yes but if one piece gets off the overlap mark, its very noticeable and it's too late to fix it

[@brianfaust8714]

Just make a jig that allows the pieces to be assembled with exact spacing each time. No need to mark pieces, and speeds up the process.

You’re really fast...the ordinary person couldn’t comprehend. I love the green stain and the wreath. I’m going to steal. Thanks 😊😊

How wonderful! Greetings from Kazakhstan

[@jacobburkett]

Fun project. Very informative throughout. Most KZbinrs fail on that when they post their videos. I would like to add instead of using screws, use wood glue and 2.5 inch brad nails. Makes the build much faster. If you're comfortable using screws, pre drill your holes and use a countersink bit. Not critiquing just helpful advice. Look forward to seeing all your future builds

When women teach, they teach for all to understand, unlike men, they just assume we know. We are here to learn. Girl power 💋

[@woodcraftblueprints]

I prefer the screws with 2x lumber projects. Wood glue is only strongest after being clamped

[@thomaskuzia8125]

Great project! Well done! FYI,,,, if you want to remove pencil marks and don't want to send or can't send, you can use denatured alcohol either on a rag or a paper towel and just rub it right out and comes right off.

[@edwingarcia232]

Great job . I did three of them thanks for the inspiration .your a Blessing Happy Thanksgiving

[@offthecha1n]

Very helpful video. I used a nail gun along with wood glue as it was moreconvenient for me. Kids will be making these for grandparents for Christmas

[@snarf2002]

Nice job with the this. I'm going to make some but use wood glue and 18 gauge brad nails instead of screws

[@woodcraftblueprints]

I don't know if brad nails would be strong enough, the wood glue is yes but you'll have to clamp them

[@bretbonzheim3979]

Really enjoyed your 2 X 4 tree plans, especially the taller height. Like the use of 45 degree angles for top of tree pieces. Great Job!

[@woodcraftblueprints]

Thank you very much!

[@slbentley]

Fun project. I grabbed the diagram you have on instagram and made a tree this evening after work. Wish I had watched the video first though because i didn't think to put the screws on the inside.

[@woodcraftblueprints]

nobody notices but us :)

[@zhyvchikbos]

Дуже красиво! Дизайн взагалі на висоті!

[@kytacomaguy]

Beautifully done!!

[@alltshirttimes]

[@larrystone5749]

Good job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it Keep building

[@detlefschomann9986]

Sehr gut erklärt und gezeigt, ein tolles Video. Ich werde das nachbauen.

[@onkelmaane]

Nice video, nothing fancy and good instructions. I will make one of the my self. Keep up the good work 👏🏻

[@OscarMcCall-d3u]

I want to make one but my miter saw does not cut 22.5 degrees and the smallest angle it does it 45 degrees what do i do ?

[@Delboyu2525]

Great project and good tutorial.

[@johnthompson3462]

Great vid.I have made the small ones but always wanted to build a larger one.

[@christophertenaglia8292]

Fun projects for the season

[@woodcraftblueprints]

yes it is!

[@MusiqueroDgo]

Greetings from Durango, Dgo., Mexico. Great job

[@ambernsage]

I see near the end of the video you show your completed trees. The green one is it a stain? If so, what kind of stain is it because I still see the woodgrain through the colour and I like that look. Thanks.

[@woodcraftblueprints]

Here's a quick tutorial on how I do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3TRpq2MfMaEnsU

[@ambernsage]

@@woodcraftblueprints and after that i can put a clean coat on it?

[@woodcraftblueprints]

yes @@ambernsage

[@cabman86]

I love a woman that can do stuff! These are fun to build!

[@brandonsmith606]

Great project but you're totally measuring wrong for accurate cuts you mark on the top and line it up with the blade. Also one of the worst things you can ever do to ruin your hearing is run a saw. Hearing protection so you don't end up like me (professional sawyer of 20+ years)

[@sau1itud366]

The hearing protection is no joke. I worked in a cabinet shop for 18 years, and now I wear hearing aids.

[@GregRush-u1y]

Try screwing all sides together on the inside before the top. Hiding those two screws

[@onsapplikasies8620]

Nice project.

[@ambernsage]

What kind of wood is best? Dimensional lumber or pressure-treated lumber or something else? I’m planning on staining it. Thanks I love this. Going to try and make a few.

[@paulsylvester1394]

Not pressure treated. The wood is wet and full of chemicals and you don’t need that protection!

[@woodcraftblueprints]

I think using 2x4 construction lumber looks the best

[@mikeshaw8491]

I agree, but why not assemble from bottom to top and hide all screws inside with predrilling and countersink.

[@Gordon-n8h]

I really like the shape

[@GlennLecus]

Ok there Miss Handy lady.. now if I was your husband I would build you a proper extended fence with stop blocks.. and of course a beer holder..😂

[@azzahousni1514]

❤ love it

[@69kaveman]

Nice work!

[@shortstoriesbyjerry870]

Good job.

[@RayandSandysWoodworking]

Nice project, thank you!

[@robertheld4947]

Great job, what type of price do you get for these?

[@grazynabanul4314]

SUPER

[@kdaniel8721]

Why not clamp the first 2 pieces to the table, to keep them still while screwing them together?

[@woodcraftblueprints]

You can

[@DavesCoolCustomBikes]

Whats a good fair price to sell for

[@frogmanpipes9561]

So much wasted wood. This would be easy. To make without any waste

[@blaynewinter7804]

I have tried to download plans from your site but it isn't working.. Have tried 3 different emails....

[@woodcraftblueprints]

are you getting any email? or getting an e-mail without the plans?

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

👍

[@bobkeniston4553]

Just a suggestion. Don’t wear your watch or rings when you’re working. You never know what they might catch on.

[@davidriblet9300]

if only she had some clamps to help her hold things...great job!!

[@RobertSmith-zi4cn]

Unbelievable. Put a straight edge and clamp to bench and stop fighting with timber🤨

[@FrankJohnson-ye8lt]

Try a 'wooden' Christmas tree - 'wood' is a noun - 'wooden' is the adjective (well, it is in the UK).

[@woodcraftblueprints]

I'm aware of that but viewers search for WOODEN so that's why I use and include it in keywords.

[@fredgooberson8787]

This is a wood working lesson not a Grammer lesson. Thanx for the good tutorial.

[@franciscoyague4886]

😍😍

[@devils58reds59]

The top to join is a nightmare for smaller tree it keeps moving 🤬😤

[@uloge3409]

Die Maße in Deutsch wäre gut. .

[@edwingarcia232]

Can I use Brad nails ?
