If your saw only bevels to the right then cut your boards this way without changing the angle or bevel. Reverse this if it only bevels left. Right-hand cut: Face down. Top against the fence. Board to the left of the blade. Left-hand cut: Face up, bottom against the fence. Board on the right side of the blade.
I think you need a few corrections on your plans. The bevel for the top trim should be 37^, not 31.7^. Also, your cut list should have a note that those are final dimensions. I was expecting them to be rough dimensions and then cut down, but the cut list doesn't show rough cut. Luckily, I was able to precisely cut and didn't have to recut anything. Finally, a few of the final trim dimensions were long - that could be due to the error in the angle. However, these were easy to make and I sold them for $55 each at a local craft show. Thanks!
My man, that last bit about sharing and being good humans was everything. I knew you were a good dude after the first video I watched. That piece just confirmed everything I thought I knew about you. Many blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
OMG! you can't believe how helpful this is to me right now. A catering company needs 20 chafer surrounds that collapse by the first of Oct. I really couldn't come up with how I would do this. The box tree surround you just showed is EXACTLY what I need. Going to etsy right now and getting those plans...so cool.
I've never seen these before, but the look on my wife's face when she was watching over my shoulder said it all. Thanks for sharing this one, Matthew~!!
I pulled the plug and made the move today! I invested about $120 to start making some things to sell. I even had a $25 Home Depot card I used that helped. I'm looking forward to starting this venture! I've been hurting for cash really bad and been bored and needed a hobby. Woodworking is a win-win!
I love how you make this stuff for everyone to build themselves. I have nothing but respect for you sir! Anytime I’m deciding what I want to make next I check your channel because I know you are gonna have some amazing builds that when I’m done, it makes the perfect gift for someone! Thank you!
Thank you... If I'm going to take the time to make a video I want someone to learn from it... there's soooo much content out there just showing a creator build something. Glad you like the channel!
I use vintage aqua stain on the pickets, rub it off and then dry brush aqua paint over that. Then, take black spray paint and fog the top edges. Finish it off with a good coat of polyacrylic.
That's awesome. I made one out of cardboard last year and covered it with plaid flannel. Looked really good under my tree. I didn't have the tools to use wood.
At the end of this video, you talking about sharing information and not being greedy was so good to hear. Not to long ago at least in America and probably the rest of the world the majority of people thought like that. And society was much better off because of it. In the same way you didn't see price gouging in emergency situations like we did see during COVID-19. And the few that did do it were punished for it either by arrest if they drew attention of authorities or by the community by excluding them by not doing business with them anymore. If you are a hermit you can live without caring about what people thought of you but most of don't live like that. We are a part of a society and when we work together and establish a reputation for fair play everyone benefits. In the long run of life making smaller profits from each sale leads to a more secure life for the whole society. I hope other people pick up on how important of a message you just sent. Thank you
That's how it should be... The world would be a better place if we all just shared knowledge. Im afraid of what our future will look like if we keep it up. We all need to do our part!
I made the square design last year, I used Velcro to hold the ends together. I love the angled design better. I am going to try and make them. Thanks for all of the great ideas
I dont know why you came up in my feed, but I'm so glad you did! Im currently building a small business making mostly quilted gifts. But I do have some simple woodworking skills. And so far I have loved everything I've seen! Thank you for sharing!!!
I just bought a laser engraver and have been looking for projects to build myself and add custom engravings to. This will definitely be on my list of stuff for sale next season.
I have a small suggestion/what if...could you make this in a way that it could double as a storage bin itself. Instead of it breaking down for storage, what if it was built in such a way you could store Christmas tree ornaments in the off season, like a fancy box?
Those farm house planters from before are good for that. Otherwise it'd be putting in a corner vs a hinge and measuring the area of the lower opening and making a panel. 😸
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking I cant take full credit, I was watching the new video and when I asked the wife if she liked it she came up with the idea for storage before we saw that it broke down. Either way, I'm sure we'll have one of the versions by Christmas lol
You could make the square variety with doors on top that flipped on flush hinges with the logo/decoration on the inside of the lid or opposite sides… I can see how this would work. Cool idea!
this is awsome!! i made one a few years back from pallet wood. threw it together really fast. i made a square one with only three side because you can not see the back the way we set up our tree. wife loved it!
I am getting into the woodworking industry soon; I think your videos are inspiring. I especially like how you want everyone to share the knowledge. Keep up the nice videos and thank you.
Our community is unlike any other community. Woodworking networks are a place where we can take criticism and give criticism and never be offended. We all know we don't know it all. I enjoy spreading my knowledge and gathering pothers peoples knowledge in a place where we all just get along. The rest of the world can learn a lot from us. Keep up the awesome world, your projects have breathed a new life into my future as I just had a debilitating health issue that forced me to stop my normal job. I have found something I can still do and enjoy. Thank you.
I have been stewing and stumped about this for months now. Wanted to make these and have them be collapsible and storable. Never even thought of flag/lift hinges. I was to the point that I was going to router out dovetail slots or t-slots to make them slip together. Hinges will be much faster and durable though. Thanks for the video Matt!
Fresh cut pine boards would add to the pine tree ambiance. At least the first year lol. But who doesn’t like the smell of cedar right? Awesome share sir!👍🏻
Another banger! I found that when installing hinges in tight areas, dabbing a little CA glue on back of hinge helps it stay in place when pre drilling holes.
I just want to say I love your videos. You come across as a “real” kinda guy and your videos are very informative, entertaining, and easy to follow. Your Philosophy of sharing your knowledge and skills say a lot about what kinda man you are. We’re all on the same team and you practice what you preach and I appreciate that. Keep doing what you do. Your videos and ideas have helped me out tremendously and personally and I can’t thank you enough. Keep doing what ya do brother. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who feels this way. So to wrap this up, thanks for doing you and the great videos. God Bless and keep it up!!! B. Grice
Hey! I’m a new wood worker. Literally, just starting out. I watch your videos frequently, yet haven’t attempted to build yet. I went out and bought some power tools, Miter Saw and Table Saw specifically as I own a wide variety of tools after nearly thirty years in the Plumbing industry. With that said, for us new guys, could you do a quick “how-to” video on how to use the two tools mentioned above, as well as some safety guidelines to follow? I know there are multiple uses for each tool, but maybe just the basics? And yes, I know to keep my hand and fingers out of the way…😂😂😂 Thanks for your time and keep up the great work.
I love what you said about sharing Ideas, I'm always willing to share building ideas when I do craft shows...we are all one big happy woodworking family
Just a little updat... I didn't have a lot of sales at the market( no real big crowds) but at least I did have sales on my first try. Thanks again for helping another man keep his head up. Have a great week ahead.
Thank you for these amazing videos and making the plans available on your Etsy shop! I love that the build portion of the videos are to the point. We homeschool, and I use them for shop class teaching my 15 yo. I'm learning right along with him. We are doing the tall planter build now. Our next project will be this one.
I HAVE 2 SMALL BOYS THAT ARE JUST TOTALY INTO AND KIND OF BUILDING ASPECTS, I HELPED THEM BUILD THIER MOM A FEW BIRD HOUSE AND FEEDERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN HOOKED SINCE, I HAVE BEEN REMODELING HOMES IT SEEMS LIKE THIER WHOLE LIVES, AS SOON AS THIS ONE OUR FOREVER HOME IS DONE, I AM GONNA START DOING PROJECTS LIKE THIS WITH THEM IN THE GARAGE AND LET THEM SELL THEM AT FLEA MARKETS AND CRAFT SHOWS, THANKS FOR THE INFO AND IDEAS, THE FENCE PICKETS THING IS OUTTA SIGHT, I NEVER THOUGHT OF THEM, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ...
Great video dude certianly something I'll look at doing. I've actually been working on few things recently so get the photos into you and the brag board. 👍🏴✌️
Made one of these a few years back. I made mine with only three sides however. Most trees are against a wall or corner so it just slides to right under. Can’t even tell it don’t have a back. Nice thing about doing it this way is you can make it all one unit and fold into the center for great storage.
Thanks Matt. Just built one today for the Mrs. but had to make it smaller by 6” overall and only 8” high. Math did suck making changes and took a while to complete after a few mistakes, but came out surprisingly well. On to the snowflakes now. Keep up the good work and have a blessed day.
Another cool build Matthew, you are the best at describing these things. Another thing that could be done to these is to apply an a old time (yesteryear) burnt look. The other thing that I think that would be cool is, install rgb led strip inside the box, I think this would give a shadow box effect and probably would make the installed tree look much better. I always look forward to your videos, some of the things are not for me, but the techniques everyone could use. God bless
Thanks Row! Great ideas! Im not sure if your selling or just for yourself but keep in mind... if your selling your not building thing all the time for your taste... Thanks for the support!
I see a quick shopping run to someone's Etsy page in my future! There's one small thing I may decide to change, that's the removable corners. In place of the slip hinges I'm wondering about how well velcro would hold them together. That same piece of velcro might be handy in keeping things together for storage. I don't know yet just a thought that I've got...
Now I'm mad at myself for not thinking about doing this last year! We bought a round, metal one from Menards for about $50 and it's already rusted. Time to go get more cedar pickets!
Lol... Hmmmmm. Set your old one outside... let it rust a bit more. Sand and stencil. Spray urethane. Market it as Vintage Americana Christmas Tree Collar. I would be willing to bet you will get $75 out of it.
I was imaging cutting wood pieces into strips, painting it (red&green-or different woods) and do a basket weave pattern(like cutting boards). Then place trim We will see if I get time...
These are wonderful! I'm trying my hand at wood working. I need a few tools. I guess I'll watch your what tools you need video! Thanks so much for your videos. Good work 👍
I just bought the dewalt table saw, but didn’t have money for the miter saw. Your designs are always cool man, so simple yet intriguing. Maybe I’ll try and put a little twist on the square model you have there, as you always preach Mr. Peach.
Thanks for the great idea. The timing is perfect to be able to build some before the Christmas craft markets. I did awesome sales from the planter boxes this spring.
Omg u make it look so easy lol I've been so interested in wood work omgosh just a struggle with money ATM loved to be able to do that an sell it love all u do I'm a newbie love ur work so talented
Wondering if you can use strong magnets to hold these together since there won’t be any weight on these since it goes around the tree stand. Just a thought 🤔 cedar seems also to be lighter weight so the magnets would probably hold better with those. Thank you so much for this idea I’m going to add it to my “Christmas” collection!
Very nice design and construction. It would store nicer if each pair of hinged sides would fold completely flat without interference by the lift-off hinge. I would rout a little pocket in the side opposite the lift-off hinge for clearance.
I like the build and want to make some. You have the nicest fence pickets, all i find at Lowe's is the furriest crooked pickets I've ever seen. They make yours look like premium pine plank
Hopeless lost. Double checked my saw for square fence and miters. Everything was fine. However now at the end, nothing lines up or looks right. Can’t get the sides square to attach the hinges. I have a feeling the bevels are wrong but can’t tell from the video or the plans. Any advice?
Thank you so much! I love this! I'm going to make one for myself as a test. I'm also very intrigued about the dome over your miter saw for dust. Please do tell more on that!
I’m confused on what type of fence pickets these are and how they’re so cheap. They looks smooth, like nice quality boards. Although at all the stores around me I’m paying 4$ for a really rough fence picket.
I could see you selling these to Christmas tree seasonal sellers to help them make extra money for point of sale. What does everyone think as to the number of size choices and what you should sell them for to Christmas tree sellers and how much to the consumer?
This might seem kind of on the nose, but what about using magnets instead of the slip pin hinges. Just unfold and they snap in place. Just an idea I may be wrong, correct me if I am please, still learning. Great video and gift idea definitely will try building some
Hi from across the pond, been watching your videos a while now, very informative & you share some good stuff that will make money. I noticed at 2 : 01 when you took three wrap apart, it didnt look like you had "treated" the inside. Speaking from experience, if you paint/varnish one side of wood, if you dont treat the other side, in time the wood will "warp". I would assume you are aware of this, but some of your viewers may not be, I think it could be worth informing them of this. Please keep the "money making" videos coming, especially the "smalls". Thanks again for sharing.
If your saw only bevels to the right then cut your boards this way without changing the angle or bevel. Reverse this if it only bevels left.
Right-hand cut: Face down. Top against the fence. Board to the left of the blade.
Left-hand cut: Face up, bottom against the fence. Board on the right side of the blade.

Thank you for your content! We home school my son. I will be using several of your projects to help with my lesson plans for teaching him shop class.
That's so cool you are doing that. I wish more public schools had shop classes.

No worries Neil! Thanks for watching!

Making these in triangle versions would be a neat concept too.

Totally agree
Learn and pass on to others. Plenty of profit for everyone.
Yes!

Once my skill set gets there, I'll be attempting one of these. Thank you so much for sharing.

You are so clever. Your mum must be so proud of you
Why thank you!
I have watched many videos and made several myself. Yours are by far the best
I see a quick shopping run to someone's Etsy page in my future!
There's one small thing I may decide to change, that's the removable corners. In place of the slip hinges I'm wondering about how well velcro would hold them together. That same piece of velcro might be handy in keeping things together for storage. I don't know yet just a thought that I've got...
Hey! Honestly you don't need them at all. Most stores if you look at the description are only 3-sided. They show 4 but really only 3.
You nailed it with this one! I can see the order list going crazy before Christmas 🤘🏻
Thanks! Oh yea for sure... right after Thanksgiving get ready!
Really appreciate your open source attitude
Now I'm mad at myself for not thinking about doing this last year! We bought a round, metal one from Menards for about $50 and it's already rusted. Time to go get more cedar pickets!

Another great project idea! Well done and thank you sir!
Couldn't click fast enough for this one. Not even selling but for our home looks awesome!
Awesome! But once friends and family see it... your going to be building more than one. lol
Saw this style at Home Depot for 63 bucks. But thanks to you, making some this weekend!
Yes!
Appreciate you figuring this out for us! Another great project/ product.
No worries! Not gonna lie... It took me a day and a ton of wood.... to figure this one out.
This is awesome will be trying one thanks
Share...love it...nothing is a secret....life is about what we give to others.
These are wonderful! I'm trying my hand at wood working. I need a few tools. I guess I'll watch your what tools you need video! Thanks so much for your videos. Good work 👍
You’ve got this!
Great build Matthew!! Blessings!!!
Beautiful.. I just wish I could get over my anxiety enough to stop second guessing myself. It would be awesome to use my shop again
@Not Inclined
I know how you feel. I worry so much about wasting a speck of wood by cutting a board, that is too long.
I just bought the dewalt table saw, but didn’t have money for the miter saw. Your designs are always cool man, so simple yet intriguing. Maybe I’ll try and put a little twist on the square model you have there, as you always preach Mr. Peach.
Lol. Thanks! watch some videos on cutting compound miters on your table saw. Most likely it came with an adjustable miter gauge and a built-in bevel.
Thanks for the great idea. The timing is perfect to be able to build some before the Christmas craft markets. I did awesome sales from the planter boxes this spring.
Sweet! You should be selling fall items now as well as Christmas. People buy Christmas items year round.
And I bought plans in the bundle. Thanks a bunch.
Omg u make it look so easy lol I've been so interested in wood work omgosh just a struggle with money ATM loved to be able to do that an sell it love all u do I'm a newbie love ur work so talented
Thank you!
Thats so awesome. Heck. I'd like to just have one for our tree.
I really like that design. Last year I put together a box from scrap wood (in a pinch). This year I'm going to build your tapered version.👍
Awesome! It's def a unique build.
Wondering if you can use strong magnets to hold these together since there won’t be any weight on these since it goes around the tree stand. Just a thought 🤔 cedar seems also to be lighter weight so the magnets would probably hold better with those. Thank you so much for this idea I’m going to add it to my “Christmas” collection!
Hey! Yep magnets will work! Great idea!
Magnets would be easier to install but increase the cost though
What a great idea, thanks for posting
Awesome! This is just what I need to make to keep our pet bunnies from chewing the Christmas tree lights this year! Thanks.
Very Cool. Thanks for sharing. Going to make mine this weekend.
Nice!! You can do it!!
Thank you! Great idea! Love that you made it so it can fold up!
No worries! Yea I figured it would be awkward if it had to stay as is.
As always...YOU offer another AWESOME idea! Thanks for all of the videos!
Fantastic idea!!
Very nice design and construction. It would store nicer if each pair of hinged sides would fold completely flat without interference by the lift-off hinge. I would rout a little pocket in the side opposite the lift-off hinge for clearance.
Good idea. There's tons of ways to modify these.
You nailed it on this one! AWESOME!
Thanks Bill!

Great project! Personally I prefer to paint the pieces before assembly. I find it easier to paint and more correctly.
If painting its always easier to paint before final assembly unless your spraying it on. The only downfall is if you have nail holes to fill in.
good build!
Loved the speech at the end
Matthew , another great video . HELLO from Texas !
Thanks J. And back at ya from the Bluegrass State!
Love it! I was just looking at designs for these on Pinterest this last weekend.
I like the build and want to make some. You have the nicest fence pickets, all i find at Lowe's is the furriest crooked pickets I've ever seen. They make yours look like premium pine plank
Somehow I am now shopping for glue guns. That was not on my plans at all today lol Keep up the tips👍🏼👍🏼
Beautiful! Absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. You are great. Keep the little things coming
I'm going to make these and sell. I've been making cedar picket jack olanterns and selling them like crazy at a local feed store. Thanks
That’s awesome! Keep it up. This time of year people tend to spend quite a bit on decor.
How did I almost miss you penciling onto your miter saw for a quick repeatable cut?! Nice trick.
Another awesome project! Thank you!
Thanks!
Great work as usual man, really love this idea
I just love your videos - thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lisa!
Hopeless lost. Double checked my saw for square fence and miters. Everything was fine. However now at the end, nothing lines up or looks right. Can’t get the sides square to attach the hinges. I have a feeling the bevels are wrong but can’t tell from the video or the plans. Any advice?
Thank you so much! I love this! I'm going to make one for myself as a test. I'm also very intrigued about the dome over your miter saw for dust. Please do tell more on that!
I’m confused on what type of fence pickets these are and how they’re so cheap. They looks smooth, like nice quality boards. Although at all the stores around me I’m paying 4$ for a really rough fence picket.
I could see you selling these to Christmas tree seasonal sellers to help them make extra money for point of sale. What does everyone think as to the number of size choices and what you should sell them for to Christmas tree sellers and how much to the consumer?
I like the bookcase in the background!!
Why thank you!
This might seem kind of on the nose, but what about using magnets instead of the slip pin hinges. Just unfold and they snap in place. Just an idea I may be wrong, correct me if I am please, still learning. Great video and gift idea definitely will try building some

Hi from across the pond, been watching your videos a while now, very informative & you share some good stuff that will make money.
I noticed at 2 : 01 when you took three wrap apart, it didnt look like you had "treated" the inside.
Speaking from experience, if you paint/varnish one side of wood, if you dont treat the other side, in time the wood will "warp".
I would assume you are aware of this, but some of your viewers may not be, I think it could be worth informing them of this.
Please keep the "money making" videos coming, especially the "smalls".
Thanks again for sharing.
