 We just made this DIY wooden lighted Christmas tree to sell at our craft show this week And we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back? Do you like to do a little make it so do we and we have a new video each week this week We're getting the band back together me pocket song Brad are gonna be making some wooden triangle Christmas trees Yeah, so we were looking for kind of a quick and easy project for this week We're still working on those last craft shows of the year, so we thought we'd make this like a two Multi-purpose project for this week. It's gonna be two reasons one we can do a video And it's a quick and easy Christmas craft that you can make second It's something that we can sell at the craft show. That's right. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies We needed one one by two the eight footer with the squared edges that way it looks classy We're gonna use this pine board But you can get these and other wood variations and you can leave this unfinished It's a nice natural look so you can get it an oak or poplar or other types of wood to give it that nice green And just different interest elements to it. Oh, well pop will pop of the green We'll also need some glue We're gonna use some starbound thick that way it holds it quickly until we can get a good brad nail in there We're using a one inch brad nail. Then we're gonna add some fairy lights here. These are little LED Ultra slim wired LEDs We're gonna add these now. We want to use eyelets, but we didn't get eyelets We couldn't find eyelets when we were at the store. So we'll play and be use what you have We're gonna use these three-quarter inch 16 But like finishing nails. Yeah with that with a fat head on yes these little finishing nails So we're gonna wrap our lights around so the head the head will keep them from sliding off But I would recommend the little eyelets if you guys are gonna try this. Yeah, find the tiny ones little tiny ones And that is it Step two we're gonna make all of our cuts and we're gonna make all of our cuts with our pal pocket So it's been a while now. He's back. Don't let these cuts intimidate you. They are pretty easy The tricky part here were the angles We looked all over and we tried to find these angles and they weren't so easy But we've got it all figured out and we're gonna give you those super secret angles right now I'm gonna give you the secret sauce. We're gonna start by cutting a nine and a half inch piece and an eight and a half inch piece All right now now time for the super secret sauce We have to make a 50 degree angle two of them On the eight and a half inch piece and the nine and a half inch piece But my miter saw only goes to 45 so to make my 50 degree I'm gonna use this piece of scrap wood I'm gonna cut this to 40 degrees Then I'll be able to use this as like a guide or a block or a jig So I'll be able to hit my 50 degree marks by then setting my head to 10 degrees I'll show you what I mean I love these pink glasses everything looks so much happier I know I love pink lenses If I forget to have them on and I take them off I suddenly feel depressed This way now I'm gonna turn it this way And that's my little jig but now I'm gonna set this at 10 degrees Because 10 degrees plus 40 degrees Will give me my 50 degrees So I'll set this right here I'm trying to get that blade to hit that that corner So where's your board set? Does it really matter? I have my board set here and the blade is gonna cross at the corner Yes, I'm gonna try to get the blade to cross at the corner and if I can't get it I'll start out here and then I can move in here. I'll show you so I have it set to 10 degrees now Okay, 10 degrees 10 degrees With a 40 degree jig Okay, and I'll cut it a little long and then I can ease into it This is the first time There's no real ease. Well, I can. I need a little bit right there Cut it up against the blade Half inch one the same way I'll even start out here and show you how to ease in Yeah, show me Show you That way your hands are covering it Oops All right, so all the rest are gonna be easy. We're just gonna set We're gonna set it to 20 degrees And make all the other cuts 20 degrees. Yep, we're gonna hit the other end Again, just trying to hit the corner, but out of 20 degrees instead. No on the same angle or opposite Um, it's gonna be this way we're gonna try to make them Next we're gonna cut four one by two pieces at six inches having a 20 degree miter On both the top and bottom of that piece So we're gonna leave it at 20 degrees. I'm gonna trim off the end And then I'm gonna leave a stop block at about six inches And then just butt them up against and do all four So I've trimmed my end at 20 degrees. I've set my stop block at six inches I'm gonna use the short side Up against the fence and then hit the stop block with the corner And I'm gonna cut it at six inches I need four of these now So I'm gonna leave it this way Short end against the fence Right? Yeah Short end up against the fence All right now we gotta lay it out so that we can measure the bottom I think it's gonna be eight inches, but we're gonna lay it out so I can measure the bottom So first I'm gonna measure an inch up on everything Everything will move at that right inch So mark an inch on everything so we'll know Make sure everything's lined up One inch from the long end and a little tip Yeah from the tip, well one inch up from the bottom I guess really And we'll just measure From this side to this side. Oh, what is that like eight and three-quarter inches? Eight and three-quarter inches on the back side From the long end Yeah from the long end. I'll cut this at a 20 degree Coming in Stop block anymore. We can get rid of this bad boy Go on now get I'm doing 20 degrees the other way because it's easier See the fits like a glove. Look at that perfect Now we'll cut the Bottom little base. We're gonna make a little base piece. We're gonna cut three pieces that are four inches One piece is gonna have 45 is mitered on both sides. The other piece is just mitered on one side There's our base. That's our little foot With an open end back that way we could put the little led Battery pack in the back of that thing hide it back in there in that little foot. Yeah, we'll show you I don't want to take my asses off. I'm happy Step three a time to assemble it We're gonna start bringing it all together one side at a time using some of the star bond thick And then a quick little brad to hold it together We're gonna assemble the left side and the right side First using the base as a brace and I'm just gonna go in with a one inch brad the nail not the guy Here again. Well, there's our there's our two sides Look at that. It's already coming together For time for some fat head nails This is where we take these little finishing nails with the fat heads on them I run the hammer on it because that will be a whole lot easier And try to hammer it in those tight little spaces once it's all together So if you want to measure down or something, how are we doing this? We're just gonna Come in really nearly No, I don't want to come in really nearly. I think you should put them Every inch every one inch. Uh-huh. All right. You want give me a little mark And I'll get a little hammer I'm just going to tap the nail in I'm going to try to leave like I don't like a quarter inch hanging out What do you think quarter inch I'll have to tell you when I see it Oh, and I have to move that Interesting. Okay. Let's do it Step five. We're gonna bring the two sides together We're gonna settle the dispute between the Hatfields and McCoy's right here. This is it We're gonna glue the two sides together And then do the bottom in and pin it Time to add the fairy lights. We're gonna start at the bottom where we're gonna put the battery pack And wind our way up skipping every other screw nail skipping other every other nail and then hit that one on the way down This is 13 feet of wire. So let's see how far it goes. Let's see if we can make it I think it was fairly easy after you get that 50 degree cut. The rest Is but to pump these out with a little jig Yeah, you could do like 10 of these in no time and there's a couple of things you can do you can keep them natural looking you could stain them and add Some white paint over them and give them that rustic look I would probably just spray them before I did the fairy lights Oh, good idea. Just spray the whole thing spray it with white glitter. Yeah, that's what I was thinking spray it with some white glitter I think that's what I'm gonna do. Yeah. Yeah, that's how I'm gonna do it And you know who else does it right our patrons. We love you guys. Thank you so much for helping us out We love to have on our conversation with you last week. We had our patron zoom call It's all business all the time. No, it's keeping us on track All right, we're about out of time. I gotta pump out like nine more of these before uh Thanksgiving and that's like 12 hours away. So I gotta go. We will see you next week We will do it build it and make it again Look at this. Uh-oh something to balance This one's easy. Easy as pie And now we gotta go turn the legs out and see what this gym looks like. Yeah, let's do it. Let's go see some final shots
