- I discuss Christmas ornament stands for woodturners. I cover store bought stands and shop made stands and the make or buy decision.

Thanks Mike, always enjoy your channel
Thanks so much, Robert.
great topic Thanks.
My pleasure!
Merry Christmas Mike. I hope that you stay safe and have a wonderful 2021.
Thanks, you too!
For the DIY'ers, have a look at welding supply areas in the big box home improvement stores or welding specialty stores for stainless steel filler rods.
They come in several sizes and usually in 2 or 3 foot lengths.
Thanks for the tip!
Good video, thanks for the suggestion for Peachtree Woodworking.
You bet!
Merry Christmas. MIKE
Thank you. And you as well.
Mike, I make my own, by twisting 14 gauge electrical copper wire in my drill, and then bend it to fit the base made out of the same type of wood as the ornament, looks good and easy to make.
Thanks for sharing!
Thats a great idea sorry but consider it stolen
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I think he was saying he was stealing the idea for his own use. At least that’s how I took it. Merry Christmas and “Peace on Earth” 🎄🎄🎄
@@gregj2647 I am sure you are right. Thanks for that. I removed my comment.
Thanks Mike, as a retired welder, I use brazing rods, pretty cheap at Tractor Supply stores. 1/8" by 36" long. Without flux of course. MERRY CHRISTMAS, GOD BLESS YOU!👨🏭👷👷♀️👷♂️❤️🌲🎅
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy visiting TSC!
I enjoyed reading all cmts. I found some hangers on Alibaba very cheap but they were the 6”. Other sizes you have to buy 100 and up. Shipping directly from China can take 4-6 weeks. I have their app and have bought various hard to find parts for my friends working on chainsaw engines etc. It REALLY cuts out the middle man. I too have used brass rods as well as welding rods. Yeah I like to buy mine and move on as well.
Thanks for sharing, Ken. I do not think Alibaba will replace Amazon for me anytime soon.
I haven't made an ornament yet, but since watching this video I will be making one soon. I love the black stands it looks more elegant with the ornaments.
Thanks, Tanya. For about $1.50 each, I was surprised out how good they looked.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning They did look great. That is a very good price on them.
Very cool ideas, Mike. I LOVE the sweatshirt! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎁🎁🎁🎄🎄🎄
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Thanks! You too, Gord! I committed to buying a few turning T shirts a couple of years ago. I think that one was a gift.
Great!!! I was looking for something like this. I like the idea of offsetting the hole for the wire in a wood base. Heavens knows, we all have tons of scraps laying around.
Glad you like it!
These are great ways to showcase your work, inspiring video 😊
Glad you think so!
nice little video Mike and very informative . Congratulations on 2nd in the ornament challenge
Awesome, thank you!

Great tips, Mike! Thanks a lot! 😊
A piece with live edge would look amazing as a base as well!
Happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Same to you!
Had seen nothing like this before monday when i saw a six foot spindle "tree" with wire scroll branches. The little wire scroll hangers look great too and will try making some next year. Merry Xmas
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you.
always good advice mike . i sure hope you and your family have a safe and merry Christmas and a happy new year buddy .
Thanks, you too!
Hi Mike, I started making bird houses and my wife forged me some stands out of some 3/16” square stock in our blacksmith shop (if you you aren’t a blacksmith you can usually find one), with the advantage of being custom made for the ornaments. To buy one. Good place is Hobby Lobby (use there online 40% off coupon for good price). Thanks for the ideas, I like the tall glass vase idea a lot. Stay safe and well. Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (hopefully COVID free). Cheers, Tom.
Thanks, Thomas. Merry Christmas to you as well.
I'd like to see how you get the bends to be even, especially the loop at the top, on the ones you make. I've turned miniature birdhouses & something like this is exactly what is needed to finish them off...
Good point I should have covered. Wrap around a cylinder of slightly smaller size. It could be a bowl blank.
The small loop I use a metal rod forming jig with moveable pins. Perhaps nails in a block off wood with the heads cut off.
This is the wire I use.

Hey Mike,
I make small birdhouse ornaments with a 1/4' entrance hole (can't increase the hole much). Where can i get little birds that looks proporsanal to the whole? Thanks
