Grwat video mate! Your air nailer tip is correct. The nail is thinner metal from top to bottom, which makes it prone to bending up and down 👍 I'm gonna whip ip this jig over the weekend a batch a few out!
Great video 👍🏻, THANKS for the plans and jig details, Super helpful 👏🏻, wish you vevery sucess with the Channel 🎉…. PS the thing with the nailer IS RIGHT ON , I’ve done the shooting out the side thing , 😳thankfully all the fingers are still working
First time came across your video. Like your style and explanation of details. You got a new subscriber even though I may not be building these trees per se.
🤣 thanks! For real though, I was looking up information about a dewalt planer and i clicked on a video, which started with the planer! running a board through and it was FULL blast planer noise. Lolol, almost killed me :P
My first of your videos. Really enjoyed it. I like your style. It looks like you are having fun. Looking forward to trying my hand at building this project.
9:24 Thank you for saying this, that nails bend up or down! So many other channels claim they bend left and right, but you can look at the nail and see they're all glued together in a stack on their flat sides. If it bent side to side, it would somehow be doing so through its thicker width. A tape measure bends up and down. Saying it could bend side to side would be silly.
I believe this is wrong and I hope he pins a correction about nail bending. The nails bed in the direction of the bevel, meaning they will bend side to side (0 degrees to the nail stack and gun direction). I have seen too many ER trips with finishers having a nail put through their finger as it exited the side of the work piece due to holding the nailer incorrectly.
@@themikeham It depends on the cross-sectional shape of the nail. Ones that are round or square, yes the chisel point will determine deflection direction. However, if they are the flat type of brad nails, stacked flat on top of each other like boards, the chisel point will not be able to deflect the nail through its thicker mass. Imagine a stack of knife blades, where they're perhaps 1/8" thick and 1" wide, but with a point. Even though the point would say it'll bend left and right, that's through the 1" width. It'll bend up and down, bending the 1/8" thickness, even though that's not the direction of the point. Or imagine the tape measure I mentioned earlier. Even if you cut the end at 2 45-degree angles to make a point, that will not cause the tape measure to bend side to side, it'll still bend up and down. So, it depends on the cross section of the nail you're using, whether the chisel point will be enough to overcome the thicker mass.
Great video thanks so much for all your hard work! Ooooooh and I am excited to try that nailer trick have not heard that before and dang is that frustrating when it comes shooting out the side!
Thanks buddy! I updated the description to include some Jig plans, its best to build the trees and then set up the jig so they are all the same, and nest property :) docdro.id/DJ8HVoP
What is the approximate price you sell a set for? I wish I could find cedar fence pickets in my area. Down in central Florida I can not find anyone who carries them.
I really love the idea and the way you describe the stuff in your videos. And your plans are great to have. As I'm a metric guy, I struggle a bit with the dimensions of the wood. I'm trying to figure out what to buy over here in Germany. You wrote on your pdf file: I buy 1/2" x 2" x 4", but I guess you meant 1/2 in x 2 in x 4 ft, right? And to make it worse - nominal vs actual size - the real dimensions are 7/16 in x 1 1/2 in (11mm x 38mm), right?
Nice catch! Yeah, I meant 4 foot boards. :) lumber is a bit confusing for the sizes since they are not the measurements they are listed :P maybe Ill have to do a build using metric, that sounds interesting ;)
Love the video... question about the plans for the base board plan. What is the difference between the large and the small tree top spaces, other than the length? Why?
The large one is longer because the sides for the large tree are longer, and the mark is where I line up the last side board. Thats the only reason its longer that the other :)
What pressure do you have your nail gun set to, I have the same one? I’m new to wood working and for this project I struggle to consistently set the nails flush….great video. I liked and subscribed
Hey buddy! These plans only work for 1/2" material. I have a tutorial on how to make one of these trees (non nesting) from 1" material as well. You can tweek the interior size tree so they will work with your 1x2x8 material and still nest properly :)
The reason it shoots to the side, is because the tip of the nail is pointed and that angle from being pointed causes it to push through the wood and bend sometimes.
Are all three trees supposed to nest together? I completed the plans and the really small tree does not fit into the small tree but the small tree fits into the big tree.
You should be able to download the PDF and print it as a full sheet on 8.5x11" paper. Otherwisd, as long as the format is the same for each diagram they will still nest together :)
I figured it out, I had printed it from youtube without downloading it to PDF, once I did that it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help and really love what you do and your knowledge and willingness to help others, keep the videos coming
Same angles, cut your two tops, scale the sides to match the size, then assemble the tops, and sides. I measure the bottom pieces to fit last if its a custom size :)
I added some printable plans to the description, I checked the other link as well, maybe their website was glitchy, but mine both worked :) docdro.id/DJ8HVoP
This is weird , I just recently discovered the sound of them , I was using them on a roof and I accidentally dropped one and it made a beautiful sound , after that I got all them out and I discovered they do sound all different. Today this video showed up on RUclips 🤔. Very weird lol
Your plans don't work with using 1-by material, (which is actually 3/4 inch stock) Can't buy material that is 1/2 inch. The angle at the top is wrong for 3/4 inch stock.
Nope, the plans are only for 1/2" material. As for the top angle, 60 degrees cut from both equally, or a butted 30 degree angle is most common for any thickness material, you just need to adjust the lengths so the middle boards do not touch for thicker boards :)
Excellent. Are you in Engineering school, yet? "upstairs" workers ALWAYS make more money than "downstairs" workers in a Big Shop and(for rapid advancement) that means getting an engineering degree OR a hostile take-over of the cafeteria(which happens to be upstairs, most of the time.), which I DO NOT recommend since it is dangerous and illegal. Please, continue thinking, creating and making these videos as they serve to quench my general thirst for any evidence that men are still men.
I meann, I took drafting in high school. I did create all the plans to build our home (garage and house, all plumbing and wiring diagrams) before building it with my wife. Although it was overwhelming at times, it was a fun experience. We also did 100% of the work ourselves :)
@@WhosTheVoss nice. If you do go to get a degree, remember- bringing actual knowledge into a "higher learning" environment is always hugely amusing and video worthy. Please, be nice to(and don't feed) the teachers. I'm inspired. Thanks

I have my psi set to 95. Unless it something really soft/pourous like cedar, then I turn it down. Most nailers operate between 70-120 psi :)
will the plans work for 1x2x8s?
Hey buddy! These plans only work for 1/2" material. I have a tutorial on how to make one of these trees (non nesting) from 1" material as well. You can tweek the interior size tree so they will work with your 1x2x8 material and still nest properly :)
What size brad nailer are you using and nails??
It's an 18 gauge 3/4" brad nail :)
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas 🎅
The reason it shoots to the side, is because the tip of the nail is pointed and that angle from being pointed causes it to push through the wood and bend sometimes.
Sneaky little nails!
Will the nesting trees still work if you use 30 degree angles instead of the 60?
Sure will, you just need to adjust the two top boards :)
@@WhosTheVoss thank you
Are all three trees supposed to nest together? I completed the plans and the really small tree does not fit into the small tree but the small tree fits into the big tree.
You nailed the project (literally). Unfortunately the adorable baby tree does not nest in the set, I added it on this year
great video but when i set my boards onto the plans, the plans are not to scale, or am I missing something?
when I use my tape measure on the plans the dimensions are not as written?
You should be able to download the PDF and print it as a full sheet on 8.5x11" paper. Otherwisd, as long as the format is the same for each diagram they will still nest together :)
I thought that’s what I did but I will double check it, thanks.
I’m trying to figure out how to upload a picture to show you the dimensions that I measured on the diagram.
I figured it out, I had printed it from youtube without downloading it to PDF, once I did that it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help and really love what you do and your knowledge and willingness to help others, keep the videos coming
Great video! Do you sand before or after assembly or maybe in between assembly?
I only sand the faces on the benchtop belt sander after assembly so they are smooth
Thanks! Are all three of the trees supposed to nest within each other or only one?
The tiny adorable one does not nest aith the set, I added him this year to the two-besting trees :)
What is the trick to scaling the trees to something in the 3’ tall range?
Same angles, cut your two tops, scale the sides to match the size, then assemble the tops, and sides. I measure the bottom pieces to fit last if its a custom size :)
Could you make plans for the jig?
Yes please!! It would help me get a better visual to make one. I could probably try to figure it out, but plans would be nice.

From what I've read/been told, blowout will occur in the direction opposite of the taper of the nail, if that make sense.
That does make sense, ohhh silly little air nailers. Lol Thanks for the comment :)
