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!

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.
