- Опубликовано: 20 дек 2021
- We built a stable for our outdoor nativity! Check out this video for step by step instructions so you can make one too! It took us about 3 hours once we got all the materials.
Supplies List:
Eleven picket boards 1" x 5.5" x 6'
Four 1" x 4" x 6' boards
Six 4" or 6" gate hinges
Box of 1.5" wood nails
Tools:
Miter saw
Measuring tape
Hammer
Set square ruler
Sharpie
Drill
Safety glasses
Cut List:
1. 7 picket boards cut 33" from the bottom flat edge
2. 7 picket boards cut 24" from the top 'rounded' edge
3. Place four boards side by side. Measure 33" from bottom of
the first board. Then 38" from bottom of the last board. Use a straight edge to draw a diagonal line. After you cut off the rounded edge it'll measure 33"-38" tall from both directions. (for two walls)
Nice project for my son and I. Thanks for posting!
You bet!
Look at the little carpenter helpers....so cute. AND, being a Math teacher, I love that you have the opportunity to show them the importance of measuring, angels, and kepping things safe. GOOD JOB!!!
Thank you! She LOVES learning and to be challenged so this was a blast for her. She’s already asking to start a new project 😁
Nicole is correct, no gaps because you are building the stable to keep them dry. She is one smart cookie, but I already knew that from Grandma Barbara. Mommy is pretty smart too, making it fold flat. It's a stable. Looks great. Congratulations to both of you.
Yes can’t let them get wet! Lol she’s very methodical and thinks everything through. :)
Thank you!
awesome love it
I love your video. Clear, concise directions, with the bonus of a little girl's enthusiasm and precious lilting voice. So enjoyable to watch!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job mama and daughter way to go.
Good job. Love your little girl, so precious. Thank you for teaching her what Christmas is really about.
Thank you, we love Christmas time!
Jesus is always the reason for the season in our home! 💕
Hi from Canada. Wonderful job ladies. Such a talented family. 👍🏻 Barbara sent me your way. Looking forward to seeing more great videos.
Thank you very much! We are already to try isn’t to figure out what to build or make next!
Awesome job!! Love the tutorial. Thanks for sharing your carpentry skills with the world ladies. ❤
Thank youuuu! 💕
This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm finally purchasing a small nativity to enjoy with my grandchildren. I wanted an easy to make stable....this is it!!! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Let us know how it turned out!
That is adorable and so glad you guys did this together
Thank you! :)
Such a precious moment between a mom and her daughter and the memories! 🥰👏🏻 also thank you for the idea. I’m definitely going to try this.
Of course!!
Awesome tutorial and thank you to you and your little helper for sharing. I'm getting the supplies so I can make one for my yard, I have the same nativity set so I know it will work for us. And the fact that it folds up is such a plus for easy storage! Thank you so much! 🛠📐🪚
Thank you :) Let us know how it turns out!!
The flat fold has been awesome for storing it. It’s never been in my way!
My son built me a stable following your directions and it turned out beautiful ❤️. Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear this!
Doing a wonderful job!
Did a wonderful job 👏
Fabulous
Thank you for this project…. Made the manger with your instructions, came out wonderfully. Merry Christmas!
So glad we could help others make one too! Merry Christmas!
great job!
Great job!
Thanks!!
Exactly what I was looking for!! The one I made and used for year's got dropped off the forklift at my husband's work where it was stored every year (it was all one piece) and broke to pieces 😢😭...may I ask what the dimensions are on this please so I know if I need to add boards to make it bigger, thank you for this awesome video!!!
Oh no! Sorry that happened! Never fun to lose something we worked hard on.
The width of the back of this is 38.5” and the sides start at 33” and slant up to 38”. After adding the brackets to the walls and putting it all together, it did add on about an inch or 2 to both the height and the width.
I hope this works out for you!!
Very nice! Do both sides fold neatly behind the back wall?
Yes, it all folds very well!
Can i use a 18ga nailers for this, would it hold?
I believe these are smaller and are known to fall apart or rust quicker with outside projects. 18 gauge is usually for attaching small pieces of wood like a trim. I’d get a thicker nail that’ll hold up outside well.
Could you tell me the name of your miter saw? Thank you for replying im planning to start on this project tomorrow
