- Making a holiday star. Basic tools you need is a miter saw, table saw, glue, two way tape and painter's tape. A pin nailer would be nice. Of course you might want to paint it too. You cut all the pieces the same.

Love the music. I could tune into your channel every day just to jam out. Your techniques for setting up the jigs seemed capable of producing repeatable accuracy. In the end good job.
Glad you like it. Good luck. If you get stuck, just reach out.
Wish I could like 2 or 3 times. By far, this is the best tutorial on making those stars. I know what I'll be doing this weekend!
Glad you like the video. If you get stuck, just reach out. Happy to help.
Just as a side note. The larger stars are easier to make. You may want to start making big ones.
Yes this worked very well.
Just found this vid....very creative and never thought about the double sided tape stops....thanks
No problem. Glad you found the vid. Good luck and have fun. Shoot me a pic of your completed star.
Good instructional video without words. Straight and to the point. Many people come looking for entertainment but I'll always go with instruction. Keep it up
Thanks. Good luck.
Excellent job. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.
No problem, happy to.
Klasse, Toll soetwas zu sehen. Sehr gut gemacht. Vielen Dank fürs zeigen.
You are welcome. Enjoy and good luck
they look great
Thanks. Super easy. The bigger they are the easier they are to make.
Ive watched a few videos with the angles you need to jig up, its beyond me n the mitre saw, i tried a different one n couldn't that had a 56 cut. But you make it look so much eaiser, and show how to cut the pieces better, with adding the tape and wee blocks, you shiw it way better. I didnt know to put the stop blocks down with the blade fully down either. Thank you your video is awesome.
Sure, no problem. Good luck and if you get stuck just reach out.
Muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, me ha dado una gran idea$$$$$$👍👍👍👍👍
Another fun build. This is a quick build for the holidays. I make these as decoration gifts. People love them. The angles are really important here, if you are off slightly it multiplies because you have 10 pieces. I made all the pieces the same so you don't have to mess with different size pieces. You can make different size stars just by changing the lengths. The angles are the same no matter what length size of the pieces you do.
Michael Tretina how wide across are these stars you made? Great video by the way!
@@jshandcrafted6940 Thanks for watching. The stars are 1.75" deep and 11.5" across.
Each leg is 4.75" long. You can change the star size by changing the length of the leg but the angles will be the same. It becomes difficult when you go below 1.75" on the leg length. Making them bigger is definitely easier. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
Love the use of two way tape to make the stop blocks - so much easier than fiddling with clamps etc. Awesome work on the stars ! Can’t wait to make a pile for work ! Thanks for the vid !
No problem. Enjoy. It's easier to make larger ones then smaller. If you run into any problems just reach out. Happy to help.
Great video, thanks for sharing. New subscriber!
Very welcome. Enjoy and good luck
Can’t do the music......
Your call. There is no dialog so you can mute.
Didn’t hear any music but I did have to mute those fingernails scraping on the blackboard.
our bro It was really cool it was wonderful what a beautiful star I loved it a lot I really loved it Thanks for watching this video!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you made one post the pictures. I'd love to see it. There's another video i made on making an American flag that you might enjoy also. Good luck
Nice 👍
Thanks.
You did all this and managed to play the electric guitar at a rather frantic pace at the same time. 👍
Yup!!
@@michaeltretina legend
The man, the myth...
@@michaeltretina haha. Seriously though dude . Those stars are spot on and I will be making a few now. Thanks for the angles and tips 👍
No problem. Check out the flag build too. Comes out super cool and pretty easy. Working on a video for building draws and dog gates at the moment. It's easier to just build it than build and video at the same time.
Good luck and reach out if you get stuck.
Very nice!
I really like the holiday Stars. I do have one question do you also make Christmas Stars?
Indeed I do. Those stars are really difficult to make. I only make a very limited number and the technique is a heavily guarded secret. Only super advanced woodworkers with specialized tools can build then so I choose not to post it here.
Thanks for your inquiry.
Ottimo video semplice e comprensivo bella colonna sonora. Sergio da milano
Sorry. Please translate.
@@michaeltretina nice simple and comprehensive video excellent soundtrack. Sergio from Milan
Glad you approve. Good luck!!
I always have gap issues when putting together.. any thoughts.. my cut are 72 and 36 I am baffled as to why I don't get cleaner cuts.. are you using a special blade??
No special blade. Actually the blade is kind of crappy.
Most likely your saw is off a half or even a quarter degree. When you multiply it by the ten angles, it adds up. Try checking if your saw is correct, the fence my have been knocked out of calibration. If not, try adding or subtracting a quarter degree in your cuts.
All the angles should be 72 and 36. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
@@michaeltretina Thanks for the reply.. I am trying it on my table saw with my incra miter gauge.. I will try again with your method.. I did it once before with gap results... I will let you know how it goes.. thanks again.
Hi Thom. Michael is correct about the potential for the saw to be off a degree or so. I always use a machinist square or a calibrated angle finer to verify the 36 or 72 degrees mark
You should do a pentagon star next there isn’t many TH-cam videos of it the pros of it is that it’s more simple to make.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a pentagon star a five point star? This video is about making a five point star...
By the way, the larger you make the star the easier it is. The had part is painting the star. You have to be careful when spraying, sometimes paint doesnt get to the inside corners. Good luck and give a shout out if you get stuck.
@@michaeltretina yes five points but instead of doing it how you did in this video each outside edge of the five pointed star will be cut at 18 degrees especially making up 36 degrees when you join the five pieces together, all that needs to be done after that is finding the inside angles cutting them out to join all the pieces together slap some glue and paint on and your finished.
@@insantiago798 not sure what you mean. Send a picture
In order to easily glue-up the pieces to form the star, ACCURATE angles are essential. In order to be able to cut the angles accurately, I made two templates consisting of one at 72 degrees from the saw’s fence (which results in an effective 18 degrees blade displacement of 18 degrees). The template consisted of a board and a 90 degree aluminium profile which is used as a fence when cutting the angles of the pieces. In the video, a piece of wood is cut at 45 degrees and used as a fence, and the blade is set at 27 degrees, which results in the necessary angles of 45 + 27 = 72 degrees. I think that the template probably facilitates more accurate and easier cutting. Similarly, a second template is used for the 36 degree cut for better, easier, and more accurate angles.
Ok. How did it come out? Post a picture of the final results.
@@michaeltretina I don’t know how to post photos on youtube..sorry ! 🤷🏼♂️
@@michaeltretina Are you on Facebook Messenger?
All phones and computers are different. I just select the picture and add to clipboard and paste.
...but accurate cuts are important in any project.
Video was great but that music 😳 Wow.
I hear that alot. There is no dialogue, just text, so you can mute it. What music would you suggest?
Rock is good, just not head banging. 🤣🤣🤣, and yes I could have turned it down, but until you mentioned that, I didn't think of it. 🤣🤣🤣
That's the problem with old. 👍👍👍
Yeah, there are some people that aren't big fans of the music and some are. Can't please everyone. That's why I always ask people what they prefer. Usually I get a very non commital answer.
Anyhow, I'm glad you liked the video and good luck with the build. If you haven't subscribed, I would appreciate it since I make nothing from posting it at this time.
Paused several times to keep up. Good job and thanks a lot. Need to get rid of the music.
Glad you like it. Just mute. There is no dialogue. Good luck and let me know if you get stuck.
Un pregunta las medidas d elos ángulos serían 36 " grados y el otro sería??
Ok. You cut a piece of scrap board at 45 degrees then you reset the blade to 27 degrees. Fasten the 45 degree board to the saw and cut that angle. My saw cannot cut the angle effectively so I do this. The angle you are looking for is 72 degrees. 72 ×5 (points on the star)=360. Hope this helps. Reach out if you get stuck.
there are two ways to do the star --one is the way he did it pointy those angles are 36/and 18 for the pointy side like he said 45+27=72 or 90 -72=18 and the other way is 36 degrees again and the pointy side 54.
Wie sind die Geadzahlen und wie lang ist ein Schenkel ? . Bitte in Deutsch.
Sorry, I don't understand. English please.
I like but I don't know degree. I want do it. thank you.
In the video I state the degrees. The first side is 36. The second is 45 plus 27 which totals 72. Good luck.
@@michaeltretina Oh! I'm sorry. I see. Thank you so much.
No problem. Good luck.
So the last cut is 72 degrees on all the pieces
Yup
Nope !! It’s 36 now when you put the 2 36 together add up to 72.
Each point is 72 and each interior point is 108 formed by the 2 54 angles
Basic tools ??
Yup. Miter saw, glue, sandpaper, tape, paint or stain. Did I use something that isn't basic?
oops. Yeah, also a table saw. But you can just buy the wood the correct thickness and not use a table saw. Anyways, good luck and if you get stuck don't hesitate to reach out.
The music takes away from your video. Too loud and not necessary. Who are you marketing to, woodworkers or head bangers?
Yeah, I've heard the music comment many times. There is not dialog so mute it. I'm not marketing this video. I don't make any money on this. I thought that this was a cool thing that I do and wanted to share. The music is stock music and isn't the best but it's the best I could find.
Either way, thanks for watching and have fun with this project. Post a picture on how you made out and if you have any issues, please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions you might have. good luck!
Keep the music, its cool, there is a volume button and a mute.@@michaeltretina
@user-ps3ej5kp7f thank you! Any issues, don't hesitate to reach out.
Don’t care for music great otherwise
Sorry to hear that. There is no dialogue so just mute or play your favorite music. Thanks.
Terrible music!!!!!
Sorry the music isn't to your liking. What would you suggest? There is no dialogue so you can mute.
Something that’s not so tense. I wanted to watch your video. It was late at night. Just trying to relax and watch the making of your stars.
OK. sounds good. I'll try to find something else for the next video.
There are a whole bunch of us who LOVED the music! Mute button to the rescue (as necessary)…
When I'm video recording and working in the garage I have the radio going. After the video edit it sounds kind of weird and the music doesn't line up. I mute it all and type in dialog or instructions. At the end I throw in some music that I like.
I don't make any money on these videos, at least not yet, so ruffling feather at this point isn't a big deal for me. Of course I don't if I can help it but...
Anyways, thanks for your support. Let me know what you want to see next.
