@cedarriverwoodworking I build a lot of different types of trees than these and I always go with trees at a 15 degree angle. I just think the taller slimmer tree looks nicer. Mine all have backs to them as well.
At 2:05, you roll the board so the long point is against the fence and cut to 21.5” - is it 21.5’” long point to long point? Great videos, by the way. I’ve made and gifted half a dozen cedar trees and everyone loved them. Thank you !
I do like the 30 degree better, looks more realistic. I like the height of the 22.5. Do you know what your specs would be on the 22.5 if you made it 30? Great job on all your illustrations.
Great video. I really like the 22 1/2 degree tree. I think it takes up less floor space, or tables top space in the small size to fit more situations. I like the smaller sizes and would like a 12, 15 and 18 inch tree with white, red and green for the trio. Question about the angles… can you adjust the angles to say 16 degrees and 58 degrees for a real tall and narrower tree? I’m guessing as long as you angles add up to 90 and you have a saw or jig that will let you get to those angles it should work. Thanks for sharing and have an enjoyable holiday season.
How much did you take off of the end on the very first cut, and does it matter? Thank you for breaking it down to this level. Im just getting into woodworking and figured these would be the easiest to start. Nobody has broken it down to remedial level like you have 🤣. Appreciate it.
I'm glad that you like it. I have caught some flack for it, but I want these videos to help out people who are new to the craft. I cut just enough off to establish the angle.
I'm not measuring across the board. All of the measurements come from the point of an angle or a flat reference edge. So the Trapezoids are point to point and the parallelograms are long to short.
In nature they are always a bit different… so my vote is to do both and have a great little forest
I love the idea of a mixed forest!
Great learning video. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the support and your feedback.
I agree, do both for a forest set. Different shades of green with white splatter.
The white would look like snow! I like that a lot.
like them both. red,green,white
I like those colors too. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the support.
22.5 degree one looks gr8!!
Thank you!
Awesome video....I'm going to build one this weekend!
How did it turn out?
@cedarriverwoodworking Unfortunately, I didn't get to it yet.I'm hoping tomorrow I will have the time
@@Treasurecoastmagnetfishingandm Good luck, and have a good holiday.
I'm always looking for something new. I like all the trees you have made.
Thank you. I appreciate the support. Hopefully they have inspired you for some new projects.
Great video Andy!! I’ve not made a 45° tree yet! But I think I like them better than the 30° trees. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I appreciate the support. Do you have any particular reason you like that one?
@ I just think it reminds me more of what a Christmas tree should look like. Taller, narrower, vs short and squaty
I like the taller tree.
What has you leaning towards that one?
@cedarriverwoodworking I build a lot of different types of trees than these and I always go with trees at a 15 degree angle. I just think the taller slimmer tree looks nicer. Mine all have backs to them as well.
green
red
white
TYVM!!
I like those colors and I appreciate your comments and support.
Thank you so much Andy for your clear explanations 👌👍😃
I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your support.
I really like the 22 1/2” it looks thinner, taller, and looks more like a tree now that you can compare the two.great video.
Thanks, I appreciate the support. Also thanks for giving an explanation why you like that tree more too.
Love the Christmas trees
Thanks.
To me it looks fuller more natural .I made 5 of them using 30 degree off of your earlier video . Thanks for sharing the video's I enjoy them .
Im glad that you you enjoyed the videos. I appreciate your support.
I like the taller one best
Any particular reason you like that one better?
@ it’s just esthically more pleasing to me than the squatty one. Although they are both very nice.
At 2:05, you roll the board so the long point is against the fence and cut to 21.5” - is it 21.5’” long point to long point? Great videos, by the way. I’ve made and gifted half a dozen cedar trees and everyone loved them. Thank you !
It should be a point to point measurement.
I actually like both. I think the green and red would be good for the color. They both look great and look really easy to build. David
You could make a mixed little forest out of them.
@@cedarriverwoodworking Yes, will be making some when I get my new shop finally set up. Will be awhile yet though. have a great day.David
22.5 tree thanks for another awesome video
Thanks for watching! Any particular reason you like that one?
@cedarriverwoodworking looks less bulky then the 30 degree one
I do like the 30 degree better, looks more realistic. I like the height of the 22.5. Do you know what your specs would be on the 22.5 if you made it 30? Great job on all your illustrations.
These are very similar measurements between the two of them.
30 IS MY FAVORITE, I COULD USE THEM ALL
You could make a little forest out of them.
I like the 22.5
Do you have any particular reason you like that one?
@cedarriverwoodworking yeah it's taller and thinner. Looks more like a tree I would choose if it was a real tree.
I like 30 degree angle.Should paint it greenwith white on top and on tips of the branches. Great video .Thanks
Like it was snow covered. I love that!
Love the Flag wall. Is that done as a french cleat?
Yes it is. I actually have a video of it here th-cam.com/video/W2Tmn2H8kt4/w-d-xo.html
@@cedarriverwoodworking Cool idea! Very nice!

You got it correct on the math. You can change that upper angle as you please, Then just adjust the bottom angles so that they sit flat.
How much did you take off of the end on the very first cut, and does it matter? Thank you for breaking it down to this level. Im just getting into woodworking and figured these would be the easiest to start. Nobody has broken it down to remedial level like you have 🤣. Appreciate it.

Both.
You could make a little forest with both.
Forest green
Great choice.
Is there a reason why you put the bottom branches on the outside of the base with the 30 degree and on top of the base with the 22.5/45 tree?
No particular reason for the difference. I do like it on top because it give a leaner look.
30 degree looks best to me .
Do you have any particular reason you like that one?
The angle shouldn’t matter as long as it’s what you want, same as length depends on how tall you want it
That is absolutely a true statement.
30 degree
That's the one I like. Thank you for the comments and I appreciate your support.
221/2°
Do you have any particular reason you like that one?
@cedarriverwoodworking not really , the 30° looks a little bulky for my taste.
I wish you would clarify your measurements. Is it from the tip of the cut or the inside of the angle.
I'm not measuring across the board. All of the measurements come from the point of an angle or a flat reference edge. So the Trapezoids are point to point and the parallelograms are long to short.
Are All Measurements Long Point To Long Point ??
Thank You
All measurements are pulled from the point of the angle. So the trapezoids are long to long and the parallelograms are long to short.
