Greetings from the swamps of Louisiana! Have you ever thought about mini LED lights on the inside of the tree or string them around the tree? You are giving me something to tinker with. Keep on keeping on. God bless and keep you safe.

Hello Andy, the right man at the right time! Thank you for your super relaxed explanation and approach! The whole thing is really a great project for beginners and professionals! Please keep it up 👍🏼

I think some distressed white would be great!

I just found your channel and I work with recycled wood, mostly Pallet wood. Here on the "Big Island of Hawaii" the pallet slats are 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches wide and 40 inches long. And the best part is they are FREE for the taking! That means No charge for material!!!.

My husband is going to make some of these, you had a great video, clear instructions, paint them green and make the jig this will really help in assembling them. Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

I get 10 out of a 6 ft, 1x12. I made the pieces 2-1/2" wide and I used a mitered top so all of the "side" pieces are the same length (easier to batch out without thinking). I did it all on my table saw with a miter gauge. I am painting mine green, red and dark red and 2 different stain colors, cherry and chestnut. I'm also offering some with the cup hook, for an ornament, and some with fairy lights attached to the back, as well as some with different styles of candle holders with LED tea lights. I saw your video on making the jig and yes, having the jig makes assembling them much easier. I don't use any nails though. It's all glue. It takes a little longer as I have to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for the glue to tack up before I can take it out of the jig, but they are solid and I don't need to fill any nail holes (which ends up being a time trade off in the end).

Green! I’ve made several of these. They’re fun and easy to do. I’ve varied the size and like the idea of arranging them in threes of bating size. I’ve seen a video on KZfaq that uses a jig to make assembly fast and easy. Like your video!

Stay with Red and Green. Hi Andy, Looks like a great project, and your template follow-up was also excellent. I am trying go figure out a way to sell a bunch of these and a few other items before the holiday. I like the fence picket. Thank for this great info. Stay safe, Steven

Excellent video. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Your gift of this is appreciated.

Love these Andy. Thanks for explaining so well.

My son and I spent the morning dismantling some 20 yr old fence picket panels. In the plans of making these trees. I’ll be sanding them next and thinking about doing a white wash & gray wash stains on them. They will end up being Christmas gifts for his aid, teacher and staff at his high school and some family members Great video and easy to follow along

Green, red, white and I think natural would be pretty cool. With the shelves they would be great for collectable ornaments.

Before seeing your video I made a couple of trees from another video. I like yours a little better because you show a good way to put them together. I have also seen your video on making a jig for quick assembly. I think that is great. I have used a green stain and barn red stain. Both did good for color and showing grain.

Stain them in a traditional wood stain or white wash with watered down pain would be gorgeous… or watered down green paint. The watered down pain would still allow the wood grain to show through.

I have seen these before, your video is the best I've seen. Love these. I plan to use fairy lights

I would make them bigger with shelves to display special ornaments or family christmas heirlooms. Thank you for the great narrative for beginners.

Sage with a frosted white glaze would be my decor taste. These are brilliant. Nice tutorial.

Love the trees-love the video! Thank you for the detailed explanation!!

Made several of these last year. The assembly jig created ease in assembly. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Andy, This was a great video because you did such an excellent explaining the steps of construction. Of course, like most people I first thought of painting the trees red and green. I think that I'd paint one red and one green and sell them as a pair. In my family, there are several 'sports nuts' so I think that I will paint some of these trees in team colors (Dodgers, Notre Dame, UCLA, USC, UCONN, Lakers, Clippers, Blue Jays, Anaheim Ducks, etc.) I'm also thinking about hanging a personalized glass Christmas ball from the apex of the tree. It's easy to personalize these balls with a paint pen and the balls are available from The Dollar Tree discount store. Thanks for the video.

Hello, Andy ... your projects are beautiful... congratulations ! I'll try to make one of this. Have a great weekend 👊😉

Add a board across the tree rungs. Now you have shelves and can be used to hang on the wall for small items like photos.

The sales tips are golden!!

What a great IDEA! Colors seem to be more natural and soft Primary colors

Sage - No question but I did watch all the way through. Your trees are beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Great idea Andy for the holidays!

RED is the color I would paint. Although my son says it’s wrong. That they need to be green. Great little project. I watched the jig video first. These will be much easier with that. Added bonus. I have lots of 1x4 scraps that are short cut offs not great for too many things. But they will be perfect for this. And they were free! Gonna have to try to make some of these tonight.

The colors I would use would be red, gold, green, and silver. Another option would be to mix colors on each tree. 4:15 Keep your fingers away from the path of your brad nails. I can't tell you how many times I have had brads pop out of the side of the piece I was working on.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and measurements. I love these trees. I’ll probably stain mine or paint white. I am planning to add an ornament or nativity to the center of mine.

I'm partial to the wood color. Red and green or even gold with some distress would be nice!

Fine silver glitter on one, then red fine on one, and fine green one. Great video as always!

Good job thx for sharing enjoyed it green color

Awesome vid!! Super clear instructions! TY! 😀

Love this project! Thank you. Red, green, silver or gold.

Great creation! If any change - I would have the base larger/thicker like the figure of the tree was sitting in a pot.

those look really good!!

I love your bloopers at the end. Great project. Thanks for sharing

WOW! I ACTUALLY MADE ONE AND IT CAME OUT GREAT!@!@! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! THAT WAS FUN! I'M SO EXCITED TO STAIN THEM WITH HOMEMADE VINEGAR & RUSTY NAIL STAIN THEN BURN THE EDGES A LITTLE MAYBE? I'M GONNA GO START ANOTHER ONE WHILE I STILL HAVE DAYLIGHT! I'M GONNA DO A "NATURAL" WOOD WITH POLY THIS TIME. THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING AND NOT CHARGING FOR YOUR PLANS. YOU'RE A NICE PERSON. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

I quickly attempted one the other night using pallet wood but with a 45 cut on the top. So it was abit more pointy. I think I would stain dark brown and maybe paint some green ones

It may sound odd, but I've found projects like these help me to keep my shop clean. When I have scraps left from one project, I cut them to be useful for a different project and label that box. For instance a box of tree bases, a box of top left, a box of top right, and so on. It speeds up production when I get to the next project on my list. I don't have to search for material or set up cuts. I like your trees and am motivated by your video to do a few.

So adorable. I'd make them green or white, probably.

I have cut five sets and have 3 sets completed. I used fence pickets and cut them 11/4 inch wide. I am enjoying your videos! Thanks for clear and precise directions, that makes ALL the difference!

Thank you for such an informational video!!

I enjoy watching this It has gave me alot of ideas Putting 1 in each window with a candle or with little lights ❤

Finialy, someone knows what a stop block is. Measurements, hands on demonstration and audio instructions, what a wonderful change , you have a new subscriber, thanks for a great project.

So many ideas for Christmas time......If time allows, I might try to make a few of these.

My paint scheme will be to paint them forest green, then apply a white stencil over that. The stencil that I will use will be to paint a Leland cypress with white spray paint, then touch each outside of each tier to simulate a snowy effect.

Great idea, Just subscribed!

Stain, and thank you for the video!! Girls night project!! ❤

Hi, thanks for the great instructional video!! I think I'd paint some green and stain some, as well as green!! These are awesome!! Thanks again!!

Ah so that’s how you make them. Very clear video. We just want to make a few for our home. Many thanks!

I would paint a few a deep green. Thank you for sharing!

I would paint them red!!! Great video! I have watched numerous videos on different projects such as this and I don't recall any of them showing the nail holes being filled. Did you fill the holes before you painted them? Thank you for the ideas! I may get a fence picket here soon and try some out.

Excellent job very impressed, I think they’d sell in England. I wish I’d seen you video earlier

Thanks for sharing. I would do green or a dark walnut stain. Cannot wait to watch the template one to make more faster. Cannot wait to make these

This is a great video and the instructions are clear and concise. Just wondering why you did not include the Hercules miter saw in your list of items?

Paint the trees solid white,, red,, and green,,,, Then sprinkle them with white n silver glitter!

I sell mine for the same price but, I put lights on mine. I also sell them at any color. A great video as well.

Hey Andy! I would paint some of these white, some sage green, but would also stain some a dark brown like walnut or jacobean. I love how these look and have a couple of questions. First, what can I use if I don’t have a stop block? Second, how will I know which side is the shoulder of the cut? Also, how far from the point of the 30 degree angle are you placing the boards when constructing the tree? Is there a way to mark the board for all the cuts before cutting them? Thanks so much for all your help! 🌲

I would do white and stained and green, but not sure what shade. Great explanation, thank you!

Green, red, White, layered, and fun.

All colors!!

Great Job!! Thank You, hopefully my son and i can make a few of these for his school craft fair project! :-)

I made my first two last night. We added LED lights to our small one and it came out cool. I made a 3 foot one for out side out of 2x4's. Thanks for the video.

I torched mine sanded it back with scotch pad cane out really well

This is the first time I’ve seen your video. Love it

Nice job! How much do you overlap them? I see your lines, but you don't say how much to overlap the pieces.

Great video with clear instructions on measurements and cuts. Keep the videos coming.

i would like to stain them, three different stains, which ones would sell better stained or painted?

Awesome

Gunna do green as a base for the trees. Wondering if you've made sets of 3 that fit inside of each other. I might try that, thanks for the vid

Very very cool

Thank you for doing this video step by step. I am a beginner at woodworking, and these trees are all over FB. I thought I may give it a try. What about putting another side to it and putting a wood platform or a plate for cookies on the layers?

Colors; Red, Green,White, Stained, Natural. And think pre-drilling for eye-hook-screws for wires to hang little ornaments, or an LED light strand in the center, around the perimeter. Giving the buyer a picture of what can be done with these little trees makes them more valuable to some.

White, red and green

I like green trees and colored lights or maybe some with white for snow

Orange. To be different! Great video. 🇬🇧

I made some with padauk, white oak and maple. And they look beautiful.

Great video thank you from the other side of the pond 😊

Green, Red, Silver, Gold, and White all seem like they make sense to use.

Green. Have you ever considered hosting a webinar on how to use basic tools. I would be willing to invest in the brad nailer, and a small saw, if someone can offer me training. Maybe charge $35.00 I think it would be a great hit. Thank you. Lynn Stevens.

Did u use primer to paint them? Also how much paint did u use to paint them. Just trying to figure out total build costs.

I like the red tree you was holding

I would stain some and possibly put a clear sealer on them if I could find some barn wood to make these with. Have you tried to build these larger, like with 2 x 4's or taller in size?

Red , green and maybe white washed. Nice video, great instruction. Is that a pin nailer ?

That was a great projet thaks for the videor

Red and green are traditional. I do like white, but I would stain them as well.

I love them ❤❤❤❤

Red and green would be my first choice although white and gold would look nice. Are you using a spray acrylic glossy paint?

If I make my top piece Lap 1” it pulls my joints apart. I made my top 2” and it works better and keeps joins tight

Hardwood and lacquer with no stain

Thanks for the video. Looks like the sort of project I'd be interesting in attempting. Just clarifying, your using a 1x3x8 furring strip or is it a common board? Thanks!

red white and blue with a star on top

Can I ask what you charge for these? I'm do woodworking as a hobby. Made a couple just like this and ones that were half the size for my house. Now everyone wants them

I would paint them green or give the option to leave natural. Some people, like me, like to put their own touch into things like this. I am in my 60's and am just getting interested in working with wood. Do you have VERY basic videos about using these machines? My husband makes me so nervous that I'm going to cut my arm off. But he knows only a spit more than i do! Great video.

reds and greens will be my fav colors. What size brad or pin nail did you use? Thanks

Star on top!

Would like to try and make one at 8 ft and 6 ft.

Green with snow tips. Why not do a better joint on the top, so the seam is right in the middle?

Nice. New sub.😀
