Was sind das in deutsche Maße ?

@@uloge3409 Was bedeutet "deutsche Maße"? Deutschland hat ein eigenes Meßsystem?

muy bueno el vídeo, pero no entiendo las medidas, deberían ser dos medidas, quiero hacerla 🌟

Si può fare in cm?

You are right Jay. That is a great way of doing it, but I think you would have to cut the pieces individually as my method tries to show you how to do it in less cuts and moving of the miter saw. 🙂 I think I should do another video and use this method and perhaps make it less complicated. Thanks for the comment!

In the middle of the board????

Not only can you not use an acute angle jig on a miter saw to cut that angle in the middle of a board but cutting an acute angle on a 6” piece of wood is going to be a pretty dangerous undertaking. It needs to be clamped to the jig because there is no fence to support the vertex of the angle. Even if you get around that with a sacrificial zero clearance fence you probably can’t hold it with your hand or a chicken stick because the way the blade is spinning it could pull your hand right into the blade. 6” doesn’t leave much room to clamp. To do it on a miter saw safely the cut order would need to change and you would wind up with more waste. An acute angle jig for a table saw could work to cut the middle of a board and would be safer depending on how the jig is made because the work piece would be probably be backed up by a fence and you would have better clamping options.

Perfect for those of us who don't have 54° cut capacity on our miter saws

Thanks Blake! Good luck of you decide to make one. 🌟

Thanks Michael! You are not wrong at all. I had a knot in one of my stars...and sure enough, it bit me! Right through the thumbnail!

Experience

Some years ago now I was using a 2" U shape staple gun holding onto a header and side jamb when you guess it, one side of that Stapel came out in the shape of a letter C. It does make us jump when that happens.🤪

Thanks Kevin! I've been meaning to remake this for awhile now.

You are welcome! Glad you liked it. Thank you so much for the comment. 🌟

Well, thank you so much for watching! I hope you find more of my videos entertaining and subscribe for future videos! Appreciate the comment!

Thank you! It does make these stars way easier to make. Thanks for watching!

Ha ha ha...thanks Robert! I have noticed that even if the measurements are off a tiny bit, it can leave a big gap on the last piece...but sometimes you can squeeze it together. Lol! Good luck!

Thank you so much for your comment. Welcome aboard. I hope you find my channel and videos entertaining and maybe educational here and there too. I'm becoming good friends with Jason from NW Sawyer, so hopefully we will get to put a couple of great videos together in the future. Thanks Dale!

That's fantastic! Great use of a little ingenuity to get the job done. 👍🏻Thanks for sharing your story.

Awww. Thanks! 😊

Awe...thanks!

It should be possible to calculate the measurements depending on the stock thickness, too..

Thanks! 👍🏻🌟

Thank you, sir!

@@TheBeardedWoodworker I checked my miter saw today, it only goes to 45 degrees. Disappointing.

Awe man....sorry! There are other videos out there that touches that subject, but mine was intended to be less cuts and less moving of the miter saw. Good luck if you decide to give it a try. I have yet to try it and make that video I was talking about at the end of this one.🙂

Thank you and your welcome. Good luck with it! Feel free to tag #thebeardedwoodworker on social media if you'd like. I'd love to check it out.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Buster! I have seen others cut the 56° angle using a jig, but they are just cutting the end off and not through the center. I'm not really sure if my method would work on a jig, being it's not an end piece being cut. It I set up a jig to hold the piece to the proper angle add to, let's say your miter saws 45°, I don't know if there would be enough blade left to make the cut. Does that make sense? I'm just thinking out loud here.🙂 I bet a jig for the table saw would be easier and doable if you have one. Sorry I could help more!

Awe....thank you Cindy! That was very sweet of you! 🥰 I will.

That sounds like a great idea! Good luck with it!

Oooo...yeah!

Uh.....so that's the still 36 degrees since you're currently in the same direction which I just realized after cutting. It would be true if you're cutting in the opposite direction.

That's fantastic! I'm glad my video gave a little inspiration. Good for you for figuring out the different sizes.🌟

You bet Michael! Appreciate you watching and for the comment!

Awesome! Thanks, Guy! I hope I can keep you entertained.

Thanks, Herb! I hit my goal!

That's great to hear! So glad it worked out. Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome...and thanks for watching! Good luck with it. The measurements are what I said and not put on the screen.😊

Thanks, Tom!!

Sorry, rich....I think was first attempt was a fluke. I have tried it again after I read other comments of it not working, and I haven't been able to recreate it either. I feel like a dope. 😄 Perhaps the measurements are super close, bur I just don't know.

It is not halving the larger star dimensions. I worked it out to be 2 3/4” and 1 1/2”

Thank you! I would measure it, but I gave it to my mother years ago.😁

Thanks, my man!!

Thanks!

Thanks, Gary! Good luck if you decide to give it a go!

Fantastic! Thanks for the sub!

Thanks, Mom! I bet there could be one that could make it into the box. :-)

Thanks, Jim!

Awesome, good luck! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

You and a few thousand other wannabes like me ended up with a previously unknown shape never introduced to mankind. Welcome aboard. 😢

That's a great idea! Perhaps I'll have to give that a try. Thanks, Jason!

You bet! 👍

No problem, Jason! Good luck if you try one.👊

I've used the DeWALT pneumatic gin for years and have had very goid luck with it. I recently got the cordless, and love it! I use 1-1/4" because I find them pretty versatile when working with 3/4" stock.

Hey Mike! Try clamping down one or both pieces to the work bench. Put your meters together and clamp downwards on the table? If you are making a bunch, maybe you could try making a jig with a plywood base and stop blocks all around the 2 star pieces your putting together, and see if that will work. Make since? Good luck!

That's awesome, good luck! A jig on the table saw for sure will do the trick. There is a way to cut that angle on the miter, but not in the way of my "less cut" method. 👍

Good luck to you!

Oh, yeah. That would look great!

Thanks, Michael. Really hope it works (or worked) out for you.

No problem, you're welcome!

Yes, it is.

Good luck! Hope my tutorial helps you out and was easy to follow.

I found the measurements on line, so I really don't know. Sorry. I did try it with a 2x4 and the measurements didn't work.😊

I'm so glad your are having fun making these! So I divided it in half, and it seemed to work on the video, then I tried it again and somehow it didn't work so well. I wish I had the correct answer for you.

Damn it, how did I not see that! So sorry. The measurements are 5-1/2 + 1/8 + 4-3/4 = 10-3/8 inches.

@@TheBeardedWoodworker Thanks. I thought so. You said this was for 3/4” only. Is there a standard ratio. I want to make them out of pallet boards that vary in thickness.

I'm sure there is, but I don't know it. I found these measurements online. I tried making one with the same measurements on a 2x2 and it didn't work.

Add the same length to each side.

My husband and I are making these stars and this is what we’ve figured out. As long as the wood strip is 1” x 2” and is always 3/4” wide/depth ( and we bought 8’ long strips) then it does not matter what length the long (or point) side of star is - as long as the shorter side is always 3/4” shorter. Example 10” long side and 9 & 1/4” shorter side (cut at the angles the video suggests) then you’ll get about 26” wide star when done ( so cut 5 pieces of 19 &3/8” wood strips at 36* angles. Then from each of those you cut off a 10” inch strip at the 54* angle - angles are all parallel to each other.) To get about a 36” wide star we started with 5 - 23 & 3/8” lengths. (13 & 1/2” long/point side with shorter being 9 & 3/4”). In short - the longer side is ALWAYS 3/4” bigger than the shorter side with 3/4” wide/ depth wood. And remember the 1/8” extra on all original 36* cut lengths is for the saw blade when you make the 54* cut.

It should work with all 1"x materials (or 3/4"). I made a mistake on the screen writing of the measurements.....sorry, but try it with the measurements I say. It should be 5-1/2 x 4-3/4. Is that what you are using?

@@TheBeardedWoodworker I did the measurements you mentioned in the video...5 1/2...4 3/4. I will try again...

It was just a rough 54° pencil line. This video only show you how to make this star if you have a miter saw that will cut a 54° bevel. I am working on a plan to be able to cut that angle on a table saw with a crosscut sled. Sorry for the confusion.

@@TheBeardedWoodworker ok, thanks very much, love your videos ....all the best.

Thank you!

@@TheBeardedWoodworker Is this video out yet?

There are other videos out there that can show you that. I think it's as simple as cutting a piece of wood at a 45° angle and resting you board on that, and then adjust the miter angle to 11° which will make 56° or what ever the angle you need. Two problems with that is, I don't know the measurements for a 3 foot star, and you can't cut the higher angles in the middle of a piece of wood, just the ends. Make sense? I am working on how to find out the measurements and making another video someday. Sorry I can't help you now.

I placed some 2x4s in front of and behind the guide on my chop saw so I could hols my board at 90 degrees from the way you normally would. I wish I could attach a picture to this, but that doesn't appear to be allowed.

@@harnolddo hi !! Yes I found another video using a 2x4 as a guide to make 18 degree cut on the 1x2 and then on the other side a 36 degree cut. The assambly is a litle different than this one but works perfect! Turn out awesome ;)

@@harnolddo Lily Ardor diy check it out!

Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I'm right there with you. Growing up with Imperial makes it not so bad.😁

Sorry, I do not. I actually got these measurements from the internet. Perhaps there is a conversation chart out there?

You should! Good luck!

Great question! In the lumber world today 1x2 is 3/4" x 1-1/2". So it is 3/4", which means you could use 3/4" plywood too, which would probably look pretty cool.

I not having any luck either but will figure it out if it doesn’t make my brain hurt to much.

Small star measurements are 2 3/4” and 1 1/2”

Small star measurements are 2 3/4” and 1 1/2”

Good to know, thanks!

That is definitely a way to do it. You won't be able to do the "less cut" method I'm showing, but it will work and you can do this star for sure. Thanks!

@@TheBeardedWoodworker I would love to see this cut made in the middle of the wood.

I know, right? That's the issue with trying to do it this way with less cuts and waist.

Hey Brad. I tried making a 2x4 star with the same measurements and it didn't work at all. I'm sure it has to be how much longer they are when you cut the beveled angle. I've never taken the time to find the difference. And to answer your other question, it's 5-1/2. Sorry, for that confusion, I don't know how I missed that.

@@TheBeardedWoodworker Thanks, that makes it easier. I’m gonna do the 2x4 thing just for fun to see why that happens. I made one 3/4 stock star last night without your instructions and it doesn’t look near as nice as yours. Gonna get some stock today. Great gift idea. Thanks!

Well good luck! I'm giving them away this year as gifts too. I do think a 2x4 star would look pretty awesome, and some day I'll figure out the dimensions.

It's 5-1/2"

Very good Gery very nice explanation 👍

Not sure if they still make them this way. This is a pretty old one. Good luck!
