I Tested Viral Dumb Holiday TikTok Builds

[@joncarbone2786]

the mailbox is actually pretty cool and easy. I'm sure if people have kids, they'd love it and an easy thing to get them involved in a cool little project

[@Bassmanx89]

Those santa sleeves and the miter saw are a terrifying combination.

[@darklordofsword]

To get the giant Christmas lights to work properly, you need to use a translucent colored paint, like the kind you'd find in the automotive section, not a normal opaque spray paint.

[@SnowieShiba]

yup this is it! or the watered down dollar store paint. That seems to work fine as well.

[@josephawatson]

"why are you so mean to yourself, have you heard my dad talk to me?" lol I can relate to that

[@dennisstolwijk7906]

LOL, that montage of Sgt. Hartman holding up the star and yelling WTF IS THAT send my sip of water flying :D

[@maureenmitchell7551]

Next time you want to do a TikTok project video, build it they way they do it, and then build it Malecki-style. The tree tray could be really fancy with like an end grain cutting board bottom and a nice, strong frame around it.

[@RyTrapp0]

That's a good idea, there have been a few that seem like a decent concept if they were just constructed in a better way

[@williamdonaldson1686]

KZbin is lying to you. I am subscribed.

[@aivawhitehead1932]

Hey, i just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos, you remind me of my uncle a lot. Idk why, but you do John. He committed suicide in May, and I really miss him, i wish I listened to my gut feeling and visited him one last time because we lived within 2 miles of each other and now I won't be able to. So thank you for somehow reminding me of him.😊♥️

[@terencemerritt]

Sorry for your loss

[@THEwAFFLEofDOOM666]

The first segment, cutting the bottom of the "tree"? Yes, extremely satisfying and I loved it!!!!

[@seancampbell2456]

I like the slowly turning into Santa

[@MattMcConaha]

The issue with the star is that all of the points are supposed to be equal distance from the center. Since they were drawing the points all the way to the corners and edges of the rectangle, irregular distances from the center, there was no way the star was going to look right. But tbh it fits the vibe fine, this tree is supposed to look like a hillbilly DIY project.

[@3_character_minimum]

True dat... If you're fabricating lots of stuff. It's a good task to set new guys. It gives them a chance to show off their geometry skills.

[@NyanyiC]

so they should have started with a square 🤔 edit - thank you.. i can now freehand a 5 point star😁😁😁

[@jenniferaddison3829]

OMG more Santa gear put on with each build is cracking me up! The mailbox looks cool tho!

[@ryancrume]

@8:24 bruh it's a hot knife, arts & craft tier. 😂 good vid 💪🏽

[@wolfguydiy1811]

also used to cut foam plastic in construction. to put floor heating pipes in it :)

[@mherrmann81687]

Harbor Freight has it for pretty cheap... how do they not know about it?

[@alfonsoPina]

I love the interaction between John and Pull it 😀 reminds me of me and my oldest brother. He was a foosball player and was 15 ft tall while I was barely over 5 and a half feet tall and we enjoyed a good game of make fun of each other so our other two brothers could enjoy with popcorn. Keep it up you knuckleheads.

[@d.5432]

The christmas tree mailbox is pretty damn good actually.

[@stevenking997]

yooooooo, "hold that for me" and the wood flying, that almost made me choke.

[@lirael423]

Same. 😂 Literally laughed out loud.

[@SargeWolf010]

4:37 been subbed for awhile... and there enough scraps left over for mini version for your kiddos 😅

[@owenkuntz9108]

“All the safe (stuff) I do is with the insane tools I have.“ I feel the same. I’m more likely to get hurt trying to use my drill for a purpose it really shouldn’t be.

[@Leroys_Stuff]

I’m with you so satisfying watching those furring strips drop great video as always 😊

[@curthough]

The editors killed it on this one. Don't get me wrong, I love John and his jokes, but the editing makes them that much funnier. The clips and memes they drop in always make me chuckle. The drop in of John singing "Forever Young" was incredible lol Keep up the good work everyone.

[@tugsman5]

For the giant lights I think you can buy different color "tint" paint so you can see the light through it a little better!

[@PieRatRC]

4:43 had me laughing. I was having a bad day on the garage the other day and my middle boy was eyeballing me like WTF. I said don’t be like me.

[@lostarcher1]

My dad and I used to make wind spinners the same way you made the pine tree way back in the late 1980's... they look really neat spinning around in the wind when they were painted/stained.

[@stsfuzzybear4613]

And they have been around for well over 100 years.

[@forsakensyke]

Not going to lie, it takes me months to years to subscribe to channels, however you called yourself a kid and that's the energy I need in my life

[@davidwilson8183]

Something huge and more complicated? How about a backlit, inset gaming table with cup holders and a topper to make it a dinner table. 8 feet long x 4 feet wide. Drawers in the side for cards, mini figs, map tiles, … Something that serves as a game day dinner table with removable/reversible top to play games on for up to 8 people. Games such as Gloomhaven, Marvel Legendary, Imperial Assault, Ascension Tactics, Marvel United, Brass, Anachrony, Apiary … lots of pieces, lots of space, large play-mats and/or map tiles with room for player boards dice rolling and snacks! Absolutely LOVE your builds and wish I had the time, resources, and talent to do even half of what you can do! Completely AMAZING! Thank you!

[@DarrylWPerry1789]

I can say with 100% confidence that I AM subscribed!

[@territ1231]

I love the big lights thing but it's so costly for supplies

[@ClericVA]

It is just amazing how you made all those trees out of wood, I am not a creative person so I cannot imagine making a tree out of actual wood. Great job John

[@Brian-mp2mv]

The first track sawing was so satisfying! Next level in fact.

[@Emulani]

a thumbs up for sticking to the costume :)

[@flamedphoenix84]

I like the tree idea at the end. You don't even have to do it around the mail box that is a good idea. And if you do it right. The first time you install it would take you the longest because after that you could have it already together for the next year.

[@nohandle227]

For your star, you may already know this, but to find the degrees of any polygon you divide the number of sides by 360, that will give you the degrees you need: Examples: 4 sides, 4/360= 90 degrees. For the star 5 sides, 5/360= 72 degrees. knowing you need 72 degrees will give you a perfect star.

[@ACDoesIt247]

"If you're gunna build dumb shit like this and be me, you deserve these fumes" made me laugh out loud. Thanks for being modern day tim the toolman taylor. Love the channel.

[@CodyStone-cx3js]

The way you drilled vertical makes it much less sturdy as well. I love making little 2-3 foot ones for holiday gifts.

[@DevonForte-w3f]

The ALM presale is selling fast for a reason. People are really seeing the value in this project. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Alemio Network.

[@RyanPortsmouth]

I was thinking about the Christmas Tree overnight and just came back to double check my suspicion, at 6:57 where you can see the TicTok video and your version, you can see his slats are drilled on the long edge and yours is on the short edge. What this does is allows him to fan out 2-3 times more than you're able to giving the total rotation. It will also allow for a thicker dowel that will give more stability to the tree. Your base is so much better... plus paint the star and it will be awesome! Keep up the good work

[@SnowieShiba]

I noticed this as well. Idk if he would've needed more wood to do it like the tiktok though?

[@RyanPortsmouth]

@@SnowieShiba I think for the same size tree you're right, he would have probably needed more wood, but there was a fair bit of waste from that SUPER satisfying cut, how much that actually was is hard to say, he could have also made a smaller tree with the same amount of wood getting the full rotation using the single bundle of timber.

[@snroos1860]

03:53 I am SUBSCRIBED!

[@der_schreiner193]

Thought the exact same thing 😂

[@petemazzocchi3256]

The Christmas tree looks like a sail!

[@seanfenn5569]

10:38 “Focus on B-hole.” That’s your next shirt right there!

[@johnyboy83]

Great job, John! Matthew Peech did a different spiral tree a couple years ago. I think he used electrical conduit for the center

[@silverperzon]

Whoever does the editing for these videos, props to you. They always make my day haha.

[@ericorange2654]

Johnny boy looked right at me and accused me of being not subscribed….I can believe you would have such little faith in me! Even after I watched your hidden whiskey stash video

[@Crytoph]

When the holiday season's over, how about turning your mailbox into a Dalek? Perfect shape!

[@kevinbowman2577]

Jokes on you I am subscribed 4:00

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I'm with you, John. I'm not a fan of decorating. I have outside lights for the first time because I hired someone to put them on. My tree is an 8 inch plastic and LED thing because I have 3 cats that love to climb.

[@timothymbess]

9:00 - I built this exact set of lights using soda bottles. Run your hole saw in reverse. The teeth moving backwards are sharp enough to cut/melt the plastic. If you run it forwards, the teeth are way too aggressive and will bite you in the hand every time. Ask me how I know.

[@StacyPartridge-l4q]

Top tier presale just begun. I think Alemio Network is one of the most promissing projects year to date.

[@jaywest885]

When you were building the giant lights, all I could think about is The Jerky Boys - Sol's Warts. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to search that in KZbin and listen to the first thing that comes up. It's priceless.

[@allenpeachy3987]

The cutoffs from the firring strips could be center drilled as well to make 1-2 smaller trees.

[@pattinacollins-paisley2304]

We just finished this video. Props to you for building those wearing that furnace! I thought of a build for you to do. A princess bed for your oldest daughter. Make it look like Cinderella’s carriage. It would be awesome.

[@King-Bane]

This is my favorite video. The sarcasm is just making me roll on the floor laughing.

[@EdHadder]

I Love John Malecki Videos 💛❤

[@jm100368]

believe it or not this guy is a master woodworker

[@NGMonocrom]

Ah! Another upload from John. Wonder if it's gonna be filled with some sketchy 💩 Yes, yes it is. 😁💕

[@danielvoorhees9507]

I made 2 of the 2x4 Christmas trees for my wife. One small like that and a bigger one. Cost like $10 for both. Had some red and green paint laying around. She loves them and it took about a half hour

[@goodideabadexecution8864]

Maybe if you cut a small shelf for the middle of the "little tree", it could be used for smaller Christmas knick-knacks? And it might strengthen that joint up too.

[@jfreese99]

As a maker who was in charge of making the topper for the tree for our first Christmas married I can confirm making stars are a pain in the butt

[@mrscottanderson1]

I am subscribed. Have been for years. Love the crap out of you, your staff, and your content. Merry Christmas!

[@suzarraKushner-p2z]

The last thing you made the weird tree charcuterie board, please put shells in it and put tiny houses it would be so much cuter

[@leemarie49]

i love that you start in you hat then work your way into the full suit lol thank you for making my day

[@louishoey]

As a subscriber, I can say on the Christmas tree just Make each piece1/4 inch shorter then assemble 👍🏼. 100% john used these Decorations at his house this year 😅.

[@jeffpark4003]

@ John Malecki , I'm 36 about an hour north of you and having my second hip replacement on the 18th. I've found that there are no decent quality or remotely good looking modern cane for people our age while rehabilitating. It would be cool to see what you could come up with ! Lots of love to you and your team. Sincerely, Jeff from Mercer county PA

[@RandyBühlmann]

I love these DIY Products❤

[@PeteGoode]

Tree tray- turn it into a tree shelf advent calendar with little drawers or just shelves for gifts.

[@kbye5323]

Loved every minute of this! Well done gentleman. Well done.

[@Mike_and_Life]

But I AM subscribed! Get off my back, John Malecki!

[@creedcameron1138]

Finding out you just uploaded a video without having notif. On is a legendary move and best way to start an early saturday

[@donaldpowell7762]

While I love Christmas and decorations of all kinds, I have to agree with your assessment on every one of the projects. Merry Christmas. Thank you in advance for my Saw Stop!

[@kylekinkead8162]

If you run a dowel through the top of the bottle you can cut a hole in the bottom with the hole saw and then cut the top way easier

[@bigdraycountry764]

HA!! Jokes on you dorky man! I happen to be subscribbled.....and.....AND....I knocked the bell so hard that it turned into an actual good lookin star.....for that tree, that Charlie Brown Christmas tree that you made there. LOL. ;)

[@projectrebuild908]

I loved the Owl on top of the tree

[@loveletterhive]

EXCUSE ME, MR. MALECKI! I am so subscribed and this isn't a smile on my face for you calling out someone who IS, and has been, subscribed. Just for that, I'm STAYING SUBSCRIBED! So there! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! Y'all rock and I am here for good! 💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤

[@loveletterhive]

I would like to see an actual build of the christmas tree tray with resin in the inside to spruce it up. (see what I did there?😉)

[@richpeggyfranks490]

LMAO watching you trying to figure out the star. I am an engineer and have been fine woodworking for nearly 5 decades. I was going to make a 3-D Texas star and got so PO'ed trying to figure it out, I ended up buying one on ETSY. Then I watched a few videos. But, still not going to make one. Haha. Really fun video. Thx.

[@BarkingDog-ho6el]

They have a CNC. The struggle to make the star was just for content. They could have also just easily printed one out on a piece of paper and traced it. Sucks watching someone with skill play stupid for the views.

[@richpeggyfranks490]

@@BarkingDog-ho6el I agree completely. I could have printed one too, but wanted to figure it out. I developed complete mental block on it. Thx.

[@elkedebuck4547]

❤ you Guys you are amazing

[@rhkips]

Going forward, "The Malecki Star" will be a Christmas tradition in my home.

I LOVE THE GREAT IDEAS OF THE WOODEN TREES, THE GIANT LIGHT UP PLUGS, THE GIFT BOX TREES, (THINK ON THAT TREEN A TREE!)very interesting🤔😇🤗😎

[@Bnm-fk9fi]

I spent most of the video holding my breath waiting for John’s Santa costume to be pulled into either a drill or a saw 😂 workplace safety fail but very entertaining 😀

[@harrycushing]

I thought I was, but you called me out, and I actually wasn't subscribed 😂. I have since rectified that, hope it puts a smile on your face this Christmas john, thanks for the great content

[@lcc8042]

I'm with you... On to better things! I'm not a fan of TikTok, I want to see substances.

[@jaywashington2196]

Tip: if you want to draw a perfect shaped star, draw a pentagon first and connect the end point

[@BGwoodworks-d2g]

I’ve literally been making those 2x4 trees for family members this year great easy build.

It looks great, well done👍👍👍😎😎🙂🙂🥳🥳🥳

The 2x4 tree is easy to build and sell. I made 6 this week the measurements you used are the same as the ones I did, for assembly though I mad a couple of jigs (from the vidoe I watched) to set up the overlap went together really quick with them
