24 Inch Wood Star - Made with a 2x6 on a Miter Saw. Easy Project

- How to make a 24 inch Texas star from reclaimed lumber. How to cut the angles on a miter saw. No jigs required. This is by far the easiest way to make wooden stars.
For this star I used a 2x6 that I found on the beach which had loads of character. I walk you through the entire process from start to finish. I show you how to cut all the angles with only a miter saw and I show you how to do simple dowel joinery without any complicated jigs.
See end of video for links to other Texas star/wooden star videos.
Thanks for watching

I love the dowel joinery!! ❤ Thanks for the video! Very easy!
Glad it was helpful! I love it too! It's great for fixing broken furniture too!
This is sick! Thanks for the pointers & no shenanigans.
My pleasure!
Good work randy this is sam
@@samsandher9760 Hi Sam! So good to hear from you! Stay tuned for more awesome videos lol. Hope you are doing well :) Cheers
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing the well made and detailed vid
Love your instruction videos. So easy to follow.
Great video, thank you!
Wow great advices 👍
Glad it was helpful!
THIS IS GREAT....BEST ONE SO FAR...
Thanks! I thought so too. I tried to make this video more concise and to the point.
Great videos!
Thank you!
good video! thanx
Hey Brother. Great Idea on the Bamboo Screwers.😲 That can help with sooooo many other projects.🤔
I'm ready to go get an 8' 2"×12" and go to town😎. If I make a 36" or a 42", it's all your fault.🤩
Thanks! I use them all the time. Great for fixing broken furniture too. That's gonna be a huge star! Let me know how big it is when you finish. I'm curious.
Fine job explaining it all sir. My saw only goes to 54 to the left so i'm trying to figure it out backwards now..
What about cutting 9 degs on piece of wood , then put that on the piece you are cutting at 45 degs ?
I normally cut 4 pieces to the required angles and cut 3 of the angles sides on the 5 th peice and then glue up the 4 pieces then i will place the 5 peice in place and mark the last cut on it as it is not always the exact angle so that way you can mark it and cut it at whatever angle it is. it could be one or two degrees off either way
This is actually an excellent suggestion! I keep learning new things from everyone's comments. Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try. Cheers!
you have the best u tubes by far the texas star very clear and easy to follow.
you made the texas star dummy proof. i would like to see you make a
3d star there is a few people out there but instructions are very poor.
if you could give it a go you would be a super star.
Dude I 'm so glad you said this. I am currently working on an epic jig for making 3d stars. Big ones! It's gonna be unlike anything anyone has ever seen!
@@savvybuilds That puts a smile on my face Iwill be happy to give it a go when you get it done .
@@savvybuilds have you finished the three d star
@@charliethomas8253 I did! Looks great! I finished the filming, just working on editing and trying to present it in a way that makes sense. It was tricky.
@@savvybuilds wow thats great news please let me when it is ready i will work on it right a way
I stumbled upon your video on Facebook, (THANKFULLY!) and cannot wait to make the 6 point star. I'd love to have the link for the 8 point star please. Have a blessed Christmas!
Thanks for watching! Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/6aagApoNy8s/w-d-xo.html
Ok. Now for something slightly different. I'm trying to cut a similar size 5 point star from a single piece of wood that's been glued into panels on the bandsaw. I've lasered the shape onto the wood & now need to cut it out perfectly straight, but I cannot for the life of me find a jig to assist in this. I looked at manipulating a bowtie jig by making it larger & adjusting the angles, but I just cannot get it to work. Any ideas??
Very nice. Does this technique work with all board thicknesses?
Angles stay the same but lengths change. For example you don't have to cut them as long when using a 2x4 or 1x4. There's a few more vids on my channel that might help.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work where can I find your video for saw that only go to 45 degree ?
Thanks here is the link: th-cam.com/video/-Z0zvfC8rV0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=el11VDJ2Xx_0yCOd
Good Day. i am planning on making a hexagon planter box from 2x4. I was wondering which bevel angle would be best. 30 degrees or 31.6 degrees. Looking forward on your reply. Thanks, enjoying your videos.
That's a good question. Mathematically it should be 30 on the miter saw but If you end up with gaps it might be better to go a little beyond 30. I think 31.6 might be too much though.
.thanks for your reply. It was helpful. Will let you know how it turns out.

😊how do you figure out the angles for smaller stars
I have some other videos for smaller stars on my channel that might help. Buy basically the smaller the stock, the smaller the star. ie, if you star with a 1x4, the angles stay the same but you need to cut them shorter.
Is it the same angles for other dimensions of lumber?
Yes, the angles stay the same but how long you need to cut them changes.
What are the exact measurement if I would do this with fabric?
EXCELLENT VIDEO
BEAUTIFUL
Do you Sell these?
... and if so... How much?
Thank you! I'm just focusing on making videos at the moment but I'll probably have to consider selling some off in the future because they are staring to pile up lol

I am in the midst of moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to RE-Open my Acting Studio...
I think/feel when the students SEE a Golden STAR... they'll feel they have made a difference...
If and when you sell these... no need to paint them, I'll paint them or let the Acting Students paint them,
Thank you so much for your consideration.
What size drill bit did you use?
1/8 of an inch. Matched my bamboo skewers. Some skewers are bigger or smaller so I adjust accordingly. Thanks for watching :)
Cool but it's not a Texas star, the lonestar is a 3d star. Center of each point sits higher than the sides.
I've got future plans for 3d beveled stars. Still making some final adjustments. Stay tuned.
You just clarified your own comment. Texas Star is what he did.
Texas Lonestar is a 3D Star.
