Hey Patricia! You are absolutely right. At the time, I only had a couple of smaller pieces left. So, I decided it best to just cut the triangle "out of sight"! Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays!
Hey Bill. Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked it and found some useful information in the video. I appreciate you letting me know and glad to have earned your subriction!
I appreciate your video; you gave great measurements. I see others do this tree, rather than they giving both measurements for the outside branches, they said just cut it off at the end, were yours matched up to the bottom branches. I really appreciate you not leading people with bad tool practicing. I understand the tips and trick you learn as a tradesman that a DIYer could get hurt if they were to try it that way. Great job, now I think I might try and make one.

Here are the trees I made using your measurements the project came together great I was able to make one in about 40 minutes the first diagonal branch I found that if I custom cut that piece the fit was much better I plan on doing more everyone wants one thank for posting the video. Don’t know how to add the photos!
That’s awesome! I’m glad they worked out great and came together nicely for you! They are unique for sure! I’m not sure if you saw the “short” I posted with the jig I made but, if you made it in 40 minutes, you could easily do it in 15/20 with a jig and cut the time way down if you had to make a bunch! Thank you for letting me know everything worked out great! Glad to know the measurements and explanation was enough! … my email is in the description.

I love the tree. I am going to make some. I think I will try cutting all the pieces to rough dimensions. Then glue it up. Then just run a saw over the edges to get them perfect and make the tree shape. No measuring angles this way and everything will be perfect.
The tree is definitely a unique design. And, your idea is smart! That will definitely save you a lot of time for sure by not having to measure out each angle!
@@HouseScraper Hey there! Since you are new to it, WELCOME to the woodworking community! I’m not quite sure I understand the question. “Rouge” cut? If you could elaborate on your question a little more, I would be more than happy to help explain it. Thank you and look forward to helping you.

Great video. This is a good time of year to use up your collection of shorts from the scrap bin on unique Christmas items. I have to give you credit for your honesty in explaining why you cut the triangle top off camera. Years ago a shortcut took the end of my middle finger and damn near my whole hand! No more shortcuts for me.
Hey Dennis. You’re right! These trees are the best little projects for the years built up “scrap” pile. Thank you for letting me know you appreciate my honesty. I’m a pretty “straightforward” type of guy and I don’t like to sugarcoat anything. I want everyone to be safe. I know a very talented woodworker who I respect a lot that lost the tips of his fingers on the saw and you are completely right, shortcuts are no place for the workshop. I have to remind myself of this and lead by example! Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you for it!

Hey Michael! Thank you. I can't take credit for the design but it was definitely a fun build and took some figuring for sure! I didn't use wood glue on this project as I didnt make more than the one. But, if you wanted to make them as gifts or possibly to sell, I would definitely recommend using wood glue before nailing. You're most welcome and thank you for your comment!

Hey Larry! I appreciate you checking out this video and commenting too! Definitely let us know how it turns out if you decide to make it! I always like knowing how all the projects end up!
It would be 💯% faster doing that. After I made this, another video came up with the same tree and that’s exactly what the creator did! I’m good with figuring things out. But, I’m even better at over complicating them!🤦♂️🤣
Hey Richard! Thanks a lot! You’re right! It’s a right-trapezium! One of my other subscribers who has been with me from the start pointed that out.

Hey Laura, I'm not sure what the spacing is between each branch, but at 15:50, I took the measurements from the base of the tree to the top and included those numbers. Here is a link to the "diagram." I hope that helps. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxNJfZaqPZovWCjGOoXUtIoLuLek3FDFy8
I agree. I’m really finicky when things are “out-of-whack” too. I would have a really hard time eye-balling center because the pieces wouldn’t match perfectly down the line… crooked trees look cool but, only when their intentional🤣
Hey Alan. Thanks. I’m glad you liked it and thank you for watching. I don’t sell plans to any of the “Christmas” projects I make as I want everyone to have access to them for free. But, if you go to my channel, you can see diagrams of the trees with dimensions under the Community tab. Cuts, angles, heights.
Thanks a lot Webster! I’m glad it’s helpful. Let us know if you build it. I’d like to know how they turn out and if the instructions are clear enough to get everyone up and running! Thank you for watching and letting me know you liked it! Means a lot!

Pallet wood is definitely a great use for this tree! Especially if it was sanded and stained. That's a good idea! If you make one out of pallet wood, let us know how it turns out!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that and appreciate you watching. If you are talking about the last tree, I hope to have them all put together soon for everyone.
You stated that the bottom branch is cut at 18" long, but then when you were attaching the branches, you stated that for the bottom branch 9-3/8" was the center mark. Is that accurate? Would you please clarify for me?
Hey there Daryl! You had me worried there for a minute! I went out and checked the bottom branch to the tree, as well as checked the video again to make sure I wasn't giving terrible instructions! 🤣 @05:20 , I actaully said 19" inches. So, that's a relief. When it comes to the center mark of the branch, you would be correct that @ 19 inches / 2 is not 9-3/8" inches. When I bult the mockup, I must have messed that up and and pulled the degree cut to that numbe on the centerline of the trunk. So, I pull right to left and if you were to pull the same direction, everything would line up. However, if you were to pull left to right, the branch would be out 1/8" of an inch from lining up to the angled cut of the diagonal branch. I hope that makes sense . I do have the diagram on my community page that has all of the measurements that might help explain it a little more. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxNJfZaqPZovWCjGOoXUtIoLuLek3FDFy8
@@darylbrown2634 No worries Daryl. I'm glad you said something and got me to double check everything! I'd feel bad if someone went to build the tree and it didn't match up because I dropped the ball on the measurements!
So far you are the only one that mentioned that!🤣 It would be really cool to have an out feed table that pulled our cuts away but, it was actually my wife! I had the tripod in a terrible spot and she noticed when I was ripping the board that it would hit it so, she saved the day and guided the wood away from the camera!
@@hardshellwoodworks 😆 yeah I could see her helping out. I can relate to your woodworking. I’m not trained in it either. I figure things out as I go, usually the long way around.

@@taggjill15 She is definitely my biggest asset in the shop! The filming and camera stuff is all “foreign” to me! Camera angles, b-roll and exciting commentary are not my strong suit.

I don’t have blueprints for sale but everything I make on the fly or from a picture I saw, I put a schematic up in the community tab that has all the measurements and dimensions listed. I’m working on the measurements now and will hopefully have them posted in a couple hours. I hope that answers your question. Thank you for your comment and letting me know you like it. Means a lot!
13:47 not a rhombus, a right trapezium. Actually I believe I’m wrong!! I was thinking it was square on the left end but it has the 9 degree cut on the left end
A right trapezium! I just had to google that! Dang bro, you killed it! That's right. I'm glad I went with rhombus though because..... I choked😅 I thought that was my better option because if I didn't go with rhombus, it definitely would have been called a "what's-it" or a "doo-dad" and I know for a fact that some might not recognize those as shapes!😂😂😂😂😅

I have the same issue but there’s a way to make a jig to help with that. Here’s a link to another woodworker that made a jig. I hope that helps. th-cam.com/video/iUOxyFCwFJ8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CEy_HhhZpfi3lXE9
Pallet wood is great for this!!
Pallet wood is definitely a great use for this tree! Especially if it was sanded and stained. That's a good idea! If you make one out of pallet wood, let us know how it turns out!
Great 🌳just would ask for the dimensions for the branches on the 3 D tree
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that and appreciate you watching. If you are talking about the last tree, I hope to have them all put together soon for everyone.
You stated that the bottom branch is cut at 18" long, but then when you were attaching the branches, you stated that for the bottom branch 9-3/8" was the center mark. Is that accurate? Would you please clarify for me?
Hey there Daryl! You had me worried there for a minute! I went out and checked the bottom branch to the tree, as well as checked the video again to make sure I wasn't giving terrible instructions! 🤣 @05:20 , I actaully said 19" inches. So, that's a relief. When it comes to the center mark of the branch, you would be correct that @ 19 inches / 2 is not 9-3/8" inches. When I bult the mockup, I must have messed that up and and pulled the degree cut to that numbe on the centerline of the trunk. So, I pull right to left and if you were to pull the same direction, everything would line up. However, if you were to pull left to right, the branch would be out 1/8" of an inch from lining up to the angled cut of the diagonal branch. I hope that makes sense . I do have the diagram on my community page that has all of the measurements that might help explain it a little more. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxNJfZaqPZovWCjGOoXUtIoLuLek3FDFy8
I apologize, I was getting ahead of myself. I see it now.
@@darylbrown2634 No worries Daryl. I'm glad you said something and got me to double check everything! I'd feel bad if someone went to build the tree and it didn't match up because I dropped the ball on the measurements!
Love it
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!
Where’d ya get that out feed table that pulls the wood outta the way?!
So far you are the only one that mentioned that!🤣 It would be really cool to have an out feed table that pulled our cuts away but, it was actually my wife! I had the tripod in a terrible spot and she noticed when I was ripping the board that it would hit it so, she saved the day and guided the wood away from the camera!
@@hardshellwoodworks 😆 yeah I could see her helping out. I can relate to your woodworking. I’m not trained in it either. I figure things out as I go, usually the long way around. If I had a TH-cam channel I’d probably name it “The Janky Woodworker “. Thanks for figuring out this tree. I really like it and will be making it since you made it so easy to do.
@@taggjill15 She is definitely my biggest asset in the shop! The filming and camera stuff is all “foreign” to me! Camera angles, b-roll and exciting commentary are not my strong suit. That’s for sure🤣 that’s why I try to make up for it with detailed instruction and diagrams in the community tab🤣 The “Janky Woodworker” does have a cool ring to it though so, if you ever decide to make a channel, be sure to let me know!
Where do I find your "community" page for the complete layout?
Hey Scott! If you’re watching the video, you should be able to click on “Hardshell Woodworks”. That will take you to my channel page. From there, you can look at the options that say: “videos”, “shorts”, “live”, “community”, “playlists”… just click the “community” tab and it will take you to all the posts I’ve made with the diagrams. I hope that helps.
It's kind of weird that like a month ago, I was wondering what happened to you and bam a bunch of new stuff on my list this morning! I myself haven't had a lot of time to be on TH-cam to watch, but I will make sure to go through what you've uploaded so far.
Hey Dante! Yeah, long time. Hope you had a great year! You haven’t missed a whole lot! Not from my channel anyways. I’ve been working straight through the year and since the weathers changing I’ve had some time to make a couple videos! Glad you’re back and I hope you like the new tree!
Liked the video before watching!!!!😂
Thanks bro! Hopefully you won't be dissapointed with it when you watch it! Let me know if you build the tree and how well the instruction comes out! I'm interested to see a tree someone builds from the video!
@@hardshellwoodworkswill do!! I replied to your email finally
@@mrmyblessednest1722 I’ll check the emails later this evening and get back to you for sure! Short day today with work so I’ll definitely have some time!
Hi awesome work what you been doing. Do you have the plans for that tree?
Thanks a lot Gary! I really appreciate that. Do you mean “plans” like some guys have for sale on a website or Etsy? I don’t have blueprints for sale but everything I make on the fly or from a picture I saw, I put a schematic up in the community tab that has all the measurements and dimensions listed. I’m working on the measurements now and will hopefully have them posted in a couple hours. I hope that answers your question. Thank you for your comment and letting me know you like it. Means a lot!
Wheres the community tab
Hey there. The community tab is on my main channel. Here is a direct link. I hope that helps. www.youtube.com/@hardshellwoodworks/community
@@hardshellwoodworks yes it does thank you. I found your schematic. Keep up the awesome work
13:47 not a rhombus, a right trapezium. Actually I believe I’m wrong!! I was thinking it was square on the left end but it has the 9 degree cut on the left end
A right trapezium! I just had to google that! Dang bro, you killed it! That's right. I'm glad I went with rhombus though because..... I choked😅 I thought that was my better option because if I didn't go with rhombus, it definitely would have been called a "what's-it" or a "doo-dad" and I know for a fact that some might not recognize those as shapes!😂😂😂😂😅
@@hardshellwoodworksI think I’m wrong! On the left end it has the 9 degree cut and a squared end! I do recognize those as shapes though😜🤣
@@mrmyblessednest1722 Obtuse Trapazoid? …..
@@hardshellwoodworks🤷🏻♂️
@@hardshellwoodworks ok, it is an acute trapezoid. Had to know!!! Now I need to sleep!! I’ve got about 7 more minutes left on the video but need to sleep! I will finish in the morning and also get back to your email! And I’ll be emailing some more of the projects I’ve built! Including a coffee table I built back in the mid 90’s! Have a good rest of your evening!
Are there plans available for this
Hey Spencer. I don’t have plans available for sale to any of the “Holiday/Christmas” projects. I do have all the measurements available on the “Community Tab” of the channel with a diagram though to all the holiday projects.
WHAT the
