[@JimNorris-o4v]

Thank you for the plans. Free is certainly not something I see on these how to channels very often if ever. I’ll pray the good Lord rewards you with His many graces for your act of kindness. Blessings my friend!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks Jim :)

[@dabuzz6611]

Great video and I love the humor you use in it. Cannot wait for the one with the jig!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks buddy! Glad you liked the video :) and thanks for commenting!

[@higgiepop158]

Thank you. I was planning on making these for my wife.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Sweet! Next week I'll cover how to make the nesting trees. But these turned out really nice as well :)

[@richardmccann4815]

Great instructions, great projects to help feed the family! Thank you and may all have a good christmas!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks Richard :) happy building!!

[@MR-si1eq]

I just took a peek at your plans. Ha Ha. Not only are you a fellow redhead (well I used to be. I'm old & white now 😅) But your plans look just like mine. ❤it. I look forward to more videos. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@WhosTheVoss]

🤣 nice! Id love to be able to navigate the sketchup app for better plans but its a lot to learn and hand drawing is faster lol. Thanks for the comment!

[@michaelbateman7084]

First I want to say, I love watching your videos. You make the beginning woodworker feel like they can accomplish anything with minimal skill and minimal tools. I have question though. When you make these trees with cedar pickets, what do you do about the inconsistencies in the thickness of the wood as you go? I don't see you sanding them. Do you just let them go as they are? I was thinking about running them though my planer after they are built but thinking it may rip them apart. This will be my first attempt at this type of thing and would hate to screw something up. Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for the free plans for everything you do. I am going to attempt some of the other stuff you make soon. Gotta build me one of those 60 degree jigs...lol. Thanks!

[@WhosTheVoss]

I left mine rustic, mainly I wanted to see how many i could make with a picket. Sometimes the pickets are different thicknesses, sometimes the spacing needs adjusted. The planer would explode these if you ran them through after assembly :/ cedar is a porous wood, the sander with an 80 grit paper will do the job pretty quick :)

[@websterbehrens7837]

Thank you! Keep making great video's and projects.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks buddy! And thanks for the comment!!

[@richardbrodbeckbeginninggu7330]

As someone just starting out in woodworking your explanations and visual aids are great to follow. Cannot wait to see the nesting video. Thank you.

[@jasonstouder]

as someone who has been working with wood, metal and solid surface for decades, at a very high level, i will tell you that THIS is the kind of guy you want to be learning from and finding inspiration from. He loves it. Now, where this young man, and every other young man and novice need to improve, is in SLOWING DOWN and BEING RIDICULOUSLY CAREFUL. Of course, the guys who taught me were commonly missing multiple finger digits and had other stories, as do I, now. Im saying, i would hire this guy in a second and i love his passion for the craft.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks for the comment buddy! Glad youre rnjoying the content!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Yes sir, you always have to have that safety mindset. Thanks for the kind words ot encouragement! :)

[@jasonstouder]

@@WhosTheVoss I can tell that you do have the safety mindset and it will get better as you age. You..uh...SEE stuff, over the years.. you know. Keep ripping!

[@Zozee3K]

Thanks for the plans!!! Free 99 is always nice.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Anytime buddy :)

[@jamesfacciolli8061]

I was looking for this but not actively looking for this. I have a few hobbies Im picking up prepping for retirement. Im all about passing on knowledge. Thanks. And THEN.... I see "free plans" and im thinking some technical drawing with proper fonts and spacing... and see yours.... and have to say great job. Again hobby here so I feel pressured when I see these "plans" that seem to be made by an architect. Earned my subscription right there. Thanks!

[@WhosTheVoss]

🤣🤣 glad you liked the video :) sometimes my plans are finger doodles on my laptop. Lol

[@jeromedouglas1424]

nice job can i use pallet wood for this i dont have ceader wood i like the smaller tree u wearing cool

[@WhosTheVoss]

You can use any thickness of wood, just keep in mind that these are 1/2" thick, so you might have to alter the plans so they fit together correctly. I dont have the measurements for the necklace tree but heres a printable PDF of the little guy :) docdro.id/8AILkBK

[@malcolmbacon7892]

Great video and end result and all from $3.58 of wood

[@WhosTheVoss]

Eggoooozactly! Cheap and cute! :)

[@mohawk81371]

Thanks for another easy to follow video ! So glad I found this channel !

[@WhosTheVoss]

Im glad you found it too! :) thanks for the comment!!

[@roylanger7891]

Thank You for this!! New to Woodworking and can't wait to try my first Christmas Tree!!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Heck yeah! Theres another nesting tree video you should check out too on my page!!

[@flubber8396]

Just found your channel and I have made these trees last year. Didn't sell many (locally) but I wanted to say great channel and awesome instructions on what to Dom also we have the exact same miter saw. Weird...... Mine makes such a mess..... Even with a dedicated dust extraction system (rockler). I will subscribe. Thank you.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Im glad you found my channel too! In a few weeks Im building a super vacuum box for my miter saw that fits around the fence to eliminate the saw dust ;)

[@mosest9088]

Fantastic video, and amazing project!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks buddy :)

[@mrmyblessednest1722]

I would guess 11 trees I guessed correctly! In the upcoming nesting tree video will you also be showing how to build or providing a drawing for the jig?

[@WhosTheVoss]

It has the plans for the jig, and Ill do a walk through as to how to set it up, its pretty simple to throw together, anddd makes building these trees a breeze

[@harlihollandharris8520]

This is probably really simple, but can you explain how you painted the edges? I LOVE that look. Did you tape & spray paint? Carefully use a brush? Paint before or after assembly? thanks! Love your channel!

[@WhosTheVoss]

I used a paint brush and the little paints you can get at Walmart, touch the bristles in the center and drag them off the side. Leaves a clean edge of paint. I paint them after assembly/sanding. :)

[@harlihollandharris8520]

@@WhosTheVossThank you!

[@robertsmith3518]

Snag paint can samples at the HD or Loz , they can mix any stain /paint color you wanna try . , a pint runs $4.oo or so

[@TylerDobbsWoodworks]

Quick question. What are the “little slivers” called that you referenced at the end of the video? I’ve not found any poplar or oak that cheap at the big box stores.

[@WhosTheVoss]

They are 1/2" thick or 3/4" thick 2" wide boards that you can usually buy in 2' and 4' lengths at the box stores :)

[@williammoore2259]

Where can I find the tape measure you have on your right side of your miter saw my didn’t come with one any help would be appreciated thank you bill

[@WhosTheVoss]

Mine came with the saw, but they fo make a 3m sticky tape measure you can add to your saws or workbench top

[@wadeholloway4471]

Would like to see how you made the little tree that you have around you neck.

[@WhosTheVoss]

I dont have the measurements but heres a printable PDF of the little guy :) docdro.id/8AILkBK

[@DeAnnaDavis-x6u]

Love it!! I'm going to guess you'll get 8 trees...🤗

[@WhosTheVoss]

Oooooo, not close at all :P also, I dont see replies unless I search for them ;)

[@erikl461]

Thanks for the video! Do you have a separate video or link to your tree jig? Thanks

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks for the comment! I do have a video for the jig, free plans and build for it can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCWd6mHjtWaaacsi=DTKT5frEYayzmOPt Thanks buddy!

Thank You!!

Thanks Steve :)

[@williammoore2259]

How much do you charge for your trees good job on the trees thank bill

[@WhosTheVoss]

Easy $7-10 each for these, i have another tree video where I build a few different sizes, those plans plus the cost of this wood would turn a great profit :)

[@rustyneedle_uk2179]

Nice vid. Might make them for the misses if you put plans up again :)

[@WhosTheVoss]

Hey :) sorry, I was switching plan websites and the Christmas stuff got shuffled around, the plans arnt super great but they get the job done :) thanks buddy freeimage.host/i/dCFH2F2

How do i make rhem small like one around your neck? Ive tried and have failed numerous times

[@georgewilliams2240]

How much do you usually get for these in your area?

[@WhosTheVoss]

The cedar trees are $5, sanded and unfinished. Otherwise I sell the nesting trees made from oak or walnut :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@tomilipin]

I made a 3D model based on your plans and the measurments don't add up :( Piece no. 1 is a little bit less than 3-1/2" and piece no. 2 is about 2-7/8". I used the free web version of SketchUp and I can share the file. Measured everything multiple times, but don't see a mistake. Please help :(

[@WhosTheVoss]

Try the plans from this video, hope it helps :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCWd6mHjtWaaacsi=_CVOSoEuqVxZmeuI

[@richardmccann4815]

Just cut and build one, and see if it works. I wish I had 3d modeling capability, I wouldn't waste it on little trees!

[@tomilipin]

@@richardmccann4815 That's what I did. It seems there's a mistake in the plans. Piece no. 1 is exactly 3.47 inches long, and piece no. 2 is exactly 2.89 inches long. I've built several trees using these dimensions and everything lines up and fits perfectly. Again, I would happily share the 3d model and a printable PDF file.

[@jimpinkley2154]

Can you paint cedar pickets?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Sure can. I would lightly sand them with some 60 grit sandpaper so the boards arnt so rough. It will make the final product not as rough

[@SleepyStud]

best end to any youtube video i've ever seen lol

[@WhosTheVoss]

🤣🤣

[@davilafamily7556]

How much would you sell these for?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Cost times two is general rule, however, these cost around 50 cents each. Lol, the cedar ones from the picket I would say maybe $7-$10 each, the nicer poplar/oak ones that I stain and paint are $40 for the set of three. Check around and see if anyone has them for sale, or Etsy is an okay place to check: just because they are listed at a certain price doesnt mean they are selling any :P Good luck!! :D

[@tpsooner7816]

Thanks!

[@WhosTheVoss]

No, THANK YOU! :)

[@DFMcG3]

How much?? Sell them for $5 ?

[@WhosTheVoss]

These sell for $7-10 easily, easpecially if they are sanded, maybe add a simple clear coat :)

[@froggersgarage5127]
