One thing I noticed that will help with your pieces wandering away on you. You want to pull the saw out, drop it down and make the cut while pushing it inward. Awesome video as always.
I'm liking it all. The delivery is direct and easy to understand. Just the right amount of fun while still being short and sweet. Your skills are noticeably improving. The projects are great for this beginner woodworker with limited tools (and funds). And as a huge bonus your plans are free! I understand the value of them, but just starting out as i am, and times being what they are, its a big deal. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.
Ok..... I have a question.... I have tried numerous times to make this jig and have no luck. I was gifted an older kobalt 10" miter saw .I have done all I know to do and tried EVERY technique I can come across in order to "tune" this saw. So before I go and throw $300 down on a new saw do you (or anyone else that's reading this) have the capability and means to possibly ship me a pre made jig?. I just need to know costs up front. I have only been doing woodwork as a hobby for 2 years now since I am unable to play drums anymore after 40+ years. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks SO much for your videos! Your direction is spot on, and you're such an honest and likeable person. I'll be making these for my Texas side of the family :)
I have made & sold plenty of stars, specifically for Dallas Cowboys fans. The angles are definitely 54º AND 36º. I've also accidentally made a star with 54º & 34º and let me tell you the star was completely off & catawampus since I was off by 2º, then multiply that over 5 corners. I realized my mistake once I went for a fit. Great video, nonetheless!
Questions: what blade are you using on your miter saw? I notice you rarely have tear out. Also, what is the angle of the piece you were sliding between the two pieces when another together? Thanks for another great video. I’m going to make these tomorrow. I think I’m going to make 3 sizes
I use a spyder blade, they seem to stay sharp for a really long time. The board is a 54 degree extra cut, helps to keep my fingers away from the nailer :)
Note when using a sliding miter saw, you should pull it out pass your piece being cut, power up the blade and then drop the blade down and push through the work piece. This is know as a down cut. The way your using your saw is a climb cut and is a potential hazard to yourself. If the blade kicks, it will jump and come towards.
Is there a little download button? I opened it and it popped up for me, this is a new image viewer than what I used previously so I want to make sure it works :P freeimage.host/i/JBpPVzx

Thanks Janie, not sure how the 90 degree angle thing didnt math-out when I made these 🤣 :P
OMG! 😂 I can't stop laughing! I made a star! However, I used one measurement from each sized star! Baahahahahaha!! I so wish I could add a picture
Sounds like something I'd do! 🤣 Little extra firewood ;)

Joker, I saved the video. I have to go back to work 😂
Have a good day at work! :P thanks for the comment :)
Your nail counter insert said 39, but did you include the three nails that were shot to make the jig?
Ill have to ask him next time :) but i think he was counting just the nails for the stars 🤩
Who painted your blade black? Never saw that color on a blade before.
Its made by "Spyder" its one of my favorite blades :)
Thanks. A bit scary hard to see.
Does the jig need to be that big?
It's nicer to have a longer edge to put the board you wish to cut up against. But you can make it a tad smaller :)
Noice dude! 👍
Thanks buddy!!
My saw only goes up to 45
So does mine :) make a quick jig so you can achieve those 45+ angles, The Christmas Tree builds require 60 degree angles too ;)
