I saw the tree video first

[@charleswv]

Tree video first! But question - since my old miter saw only goes to 50 degrees, is it possible to make using your sharp angle jig?

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

@@charleswv You could but it's difficult. I am working on a video for those people who's saws don't go high enough.

[@charleswv]

The new video was great! Worked out really well and the results were nice! Thanks! @@cedarriverwoodworking

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

@@charleswv Thank you.

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

Tree first...then star! Making both today! Thanks for this. I found it just in time for an ornament sale. I hope to use this for display. I like the natural tree and star the best!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you so much for the support, and good luck with the builds. You'll have to let me know how it goes.

[@ericrhetta8412]

Loved watching this video and prefer this over the 45 degree; seems more traditional. I am new to woodworking and doing it to help with my combat PTSD. Semper Fi!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I like these ones more too. Thank you for your service brother, I'm glad that you are finding a constructive outlet for that.

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

First of all, thank you for your service, second, my nephew is a Marine (so proud of him) and mostly why I'm commenting is to tell you about Rob Cosman on KZbin. He is a master woodworker and more importantly, the creator of the Purple Heart Project. He brings in combat wounded vets for an intense hand tool woodworking seminar. Please check this out. I have been a supporter for years now and cannot say enough about what this project has done for the participants. (They have a blast!) You'll see. And they learn a lot of skills to take home with them, along with tools and a strength in themselves to help them into their futures. Check it out!

[@jamesrogers1691]

You are the only one I've found that is so detailed about your projects. Everyone else will leave out something small which makes it impossible to make the project. Thank you!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback. There have been a couple times that I forgot a detail in a video, and I'm working on keeping everything detailed.

[@dannyspring5146]

Andy, you have some great videos. Very informative & you just seem like a great guy. Keep up the great work.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you. I am working on making the pacing a bit better, but thank you for your support.

[@charlespayne6938]

Like the champered star with the gold trim. Getting ready to watch the Christmas tree build for that star. Perfect combination. Thanks.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

You'll have to let me know what you think of the tree build.

[@robertapreston4200]

Tree 1st... loved it. Looking forward to the stars

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I hope you enjoyed the stars too.

[@alacharger]

Saw the tree video earlier. Like the painted tree and star best. Good stuff!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I saw your other comment and I appreciate your support.

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Andy, I watched the tree video first, and then this one. Now I'm headed out to the shop to see what damage I can do. Thanks for Sharing!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Glad to help. You'll have to let me know how they turn out.

[@mikeandlucky]

Appreciate woodworkers who build with tools that are more "real world" and affordable versus the sort of shops outfitted with tools that most folks could never afford. Also like that you leave in your mistakes and how you remedy the mistakes as this is where many if not most of us actually live. Thanks.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

We are all human and make mistakes. It's how we recognize and adapt to them that shows our real character. I'm glad you're enjoying everything.

[@daphnepoat4276]

I appreciate the step by step instructions as someone who is trying to learn

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I am trying to tailor the channel towards beginner woodworkers, so I'm glad that I can help.

[@cajinguy218]

Like the natural look for both the tree and star. The tree video led me to the star video. Nice pairing!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I'm glad that you enjoyed them both. I tend to lean towards natural but I'm particularly proud of the painted star.

[@dustylynn3]

I saw he tree 🌲 first !!!! Thank you for what you do, it’s so great

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I appreciate the support and I'm glad you liked both videos.

[@robertgorman579]

I saw the Christmas tree first. I love it. I will attempt that this year. I hope to roundover the edges with a router to enhance the rounded/wrapped effect

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

You'll have to let me know how the build goes.

[@brianpearson31]

I love how basic you keep the tools when building these. It is incredibly refreshing for people like me who are juat learning.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I am trying to tailor the content towards new and beginning woodworkers, so that feedback is very helpful.

Thank you!

[@fredklapetzky2698]

Tree First. I like both styles. The painted ones add attention grabbing highlights which would be better outdoors.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

The tree does seem to be the more popular video. I am particularly proud of the painted one.

[@Sirxx99.]

Really like that you left the "Happy Mistakes" in!

[@Sirxx99.]

Also Painted.... Luckily I have a painter! Just need to find someone who enjoys the sanding.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

We are all human, so it's best to leave then in there. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.

[@craftydeanatraut9562]

I watched the tree video first. I like the painted star for the tree.🌲 Happy Holidays

[@nickyt3269]

this was awesome!! really broke it down simple for us!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I hope that it wasn't too "simple". I'm not trying to have people think I'm talking down to them. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.

[@TomHampton-k5k]

I watched the tree first. I think I like the painted tree with the plain star best, but I'm going to make both. Thanks for sharing!

[@lacttech]

Great video. I saw this one first. Will need to find the tree video. I like the idea of a video showing how to make sure the mitre saw is calibrated correctly.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

It will be out after the holidays. hopefully you found the tree video. It should pop up at the end of this one.

[@xzytqweo3538]

You're my Hero! I can watch you (wish I could help you) all day long. Love your ideals and handy dandy projects!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I really appreciate the support. I need to get some more videos out to be able to watch all day. I am working on that.

[@dian3145]

Tree first, red & gold. The chamfer really makes the whole thing pop and look more finished. I think I would chamfer the tree front pieces as well 😀

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Glad to see you here too. some edge detail on the tree is a great idea!

[@TeresaColey-l7g]

I like the plain star

[@wessaidred]

Star video first. Definitely red and gold. Nice project. I have the same saw and definitely have some scrap laying around. I'll try this out. Thanks.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I am particularly proud of the paint on that one. It doesn't take a ton of scrap and I'm sure these could sell at a decent price as well.

[@ryanmazza1233]

Saw this one first, weirdly I've already been building these but love to watch for tips and tricks. The way you make it is so much more convenient, that trick of measuring to 11 splitting and then shaping is a so simple I would have never come up with that without seeing it!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I'm glad I was able to help.

[@greglawrence742]

Love the videos. No need for the music, it distracts from your tutorials. Nice tree, nuce stars. Thank you.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I appreciate the feedback on the music. I was worried about the silence being an issue.

[@greglawrence742]

@cedarriverwoodworking I believe most people, from other video comments I've read, like to hear the tool sounds, and the ASMR -like experience. Again, great vids tho! I appreciate you and your time to share.

I liked the painted one.... I did make 30 of your 5-minute tree. they only took me about 20 minutes each after sanding and painting..

Terrific videos.The tree first. As I will make these, the painted version will be my choice since it will be displayed outside with a spot light on it. Thanks again.

Hi, I saw the tree first, so then wanted to see how to do the star. I like them both left natural. I have a meeting in a few weeks that I need to bring a handmade project to donate for a silent auction and am thinking of making a set of these. I'm curious about figuring out the sizes for a smaller tree as well. I think that would look nice,

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I believe Hardshell Woodworks has a video on some smaller ones. If you check them out let them know I sent you over. He is a great guy. video found here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGUk6yPZsuLfs0si=pzqk16zoVsZ118u9

Tree video first. I prefer rhe painted star. Thr red contrast looks great. And im sure my saw goes nowhere near 54 degrees, maybe its time for an upgrade 😁

I'm working on finding a way for those with limited range to make them as well. However I do have a few saws linked in the description area.

[@spiderobert]

KZbin keeps recommending woodworking Christmas videos to me. So far this is the first star that I've seen and I really like it. I will definitely try to make it. I don't have a sliding miter saw, just a fixed miter saw, but the cuts are pretty simple, so I don't think it will be a problem. I personally don't prefer the way you painted that one star. I think it would look better if the inner lines were thinner, which would require the chamfer to be probably half the thickness that you did, but the style is nice. Edit: The more I think about it; I think just not having the inner red lines at all would look best to me, keep the chamfers the way they are, they should add a nice shadow, but only paint the outer lines of the star.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I really appreciate the feedback and the time you took to write your response. The chamfers do add just the right amount of depth to the piece without being intrusive.
