[@mrmyblessednest1722]

3:14 genius move on using that square that way for measuring! 👍🏻

[@mrmyblessednest1722]

6:06 that little jig is probably the best idea I’ve seen for a jig on building these 2x4 trees as well!

@@mrmyblessednest1722 Thank you! Every now and then I come up with something brilliant. (The rest of the time I’m screwing things up.) 😂

[@mrmyblessednest1722]

@ so you’re human?🤣🤣🤣😎

See, THIS is what YT is SUPPOSED to be! I love projects done in a REAL shop and not "over-produced" fluff in a perfectly clean shop. Well Done! I am making this for 2024!

[@Jennyfromtheshop]

Thanks so much! If you’re looking for the right amount of clutter and sawdust, you’ve come to the right place. 😂❤️

@@RedProg Thank you!

[@chrissterba501]

This does look like a lot of simple fun and actually gets the mood going for the holidays, thank you for sharing! Now, if we want to compete with the neighbors, we'll possibly need to beef up the height and go with some 2x10s, steel bracketry, and a concrete with rebar foundation to hold it all up. Standby... In the famous last words of all, "I got this":-)

[@Jennyfromtheshop]

@@chrissterba501 Sounds like a plan! Maybe you could make it from something lightweight like styrofoam planks? Either way, a large version would be cool!

[@bradw0535]

The simplicity of these decorations/crafts is very appealing! The base might look cool stained dark to look like a tree trunk? I really like it Jen! Looks great, thanks for sharing! 👍😊

[@Jennyfromtheshop]

I like that idea! I'm definitely going to make more of these!

[@christillotson3946]

This is a Fun project! Yes, definitely want to go with a jig for those repetitive cuts. I went with a 2x6 on bottom for a little more stability. Excellent Vid as always Jenny❤

[@Jennyfromtheshop]

@@christillotson3946 Thanks, Chris! The 2x6 makes sense! Good suggestion.

[@FredD63]

@@crazymike4894 Thank you, Mike!

[@cabman86]

That is the strangest sounding brad nailer I've ever heard! hehe

When shooting the bottom piece. Shot the lower nail that's further away from your fingers,tge you can move your fingers away from the top edge. Believe me it hurts when the curve into you fingers

[@Jennyfromtheshop]

@@MrDaddyob2 I actually shot one clear through this summer on a different project. 😱 There was one long (hidden) nail in the chamber followed by the smaller size I just loaded. Appreciate the advice though! Thanks for watching. 🙌

[@MrDaddyob2]

@Jennyfromtheshop my wife put one through her finger. I've shot myself multiple times..worse one wad in my bottom while I was on a ladder doing crown molding..BTW. nice jigs and video
