Just a suggestion you should show how to make that jig for a miter saw
Would it be easier to nail the inner angles first then attach the outside points together at the end?
This is the most descriptive tutorial I've found on this, thank you! I wasn't alloting for the 1/8"for my blade (beginner woodworker!!) Can't wait to try this.
Brilliant build video of a star, a ever favorite WW project. Thanks for sharing
I know this video is 4 years old but just thought I'd tis the season by sharing what I like to do! I like to make my cuts crooked, short, long and that includes when I measure twice! In fact I cut so much that ends up wrong, I just roll with it and call it abstract woodworking, for sell somewhere on the internet near you!
Good job! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for this great idea! Me and my boys did a practice and we will make one for their room decor. Genius!!!
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I'll try this for next Christmas.
that is cool !!! you make it in a very simply way !!! thanks for sharing your ideas !!!

awesome, let me know how your stars turn out!
I find it to be easier to nail the 36* angles together first. Then Shou Sugi Ban all sides before assembly. Then just clear coat it. Good video. Thanks
Muito bacana esse projeto.
You should pin nail as your putting the start together. You can get a better angle and you won't have any blow outs.
i use a pair of flush cutting nippers i got at Harbor Freight, (Hobby Lobby has them too). Cost $4.95, to cut nails that break through.

Ever try nailing opposite angles first?
When you are nailing the short piece to the long piece to make the 5 parts, are you nailing the 54 degree end of the short piece to the 54 degree end of the long piece or what combination thereof. I have my pieces cut to dimension based on the original plans and cannot get the pieces in the right order. Appreciate any help where I’m missing something.
Why no wood glue, and much easier to nail the 36 degree joints first.
I love the video. Can you tell me where to find the plans? Thx

Thanks Opa, I took the time to really measure and double check this time and it made all the difference. Take care my friend!
I'm new at wood working, but can you tell me what's the size of the wood you using for the stars.
You used a stop block when cutting on the radial arm saw; why wouldn't you use one on the chop saw? It wold make for more accurate angles and lengths and go faster than tediously marking the cut lines, trying to cut precisely to the lines. And it would go faster.

After writing my comment I looked and saw that this video is 4 years old. I hope you read comments on old videos!
Very nice design I love it I wish you can send me one
How long are the pieces?
Nail all the 36° angles first with wood glue. Does anyone know how to find the leg length for a star with a 36" interior clearance? I'm using 2 x 6's to make a lawn decoration.
LOL yep ;) "Focus You >^^>!!"

Thanks, Kirk, I used regular pine 1 x 2 x 8' from Lowe's which are about $3-4 each. I could make two stars from each piece with the size shown in the vid
Can't you nail the center joints first?

I haven't tried that but the hot glue trick was really the easiest way I've found so far to keep the joints tight in the middle. I think the concern with nailing the center first is that it may be harder to close the point joints which are more obvious to the eye.
Demorou!!
Dont have a nail gun and clamping odd shapes like this makes it hard

texasmadefella I have used just hot glue and that works too
Nail the 36 degree first. It’s a lot easier.

ok, good to hear....I mean I'll all about easier! Thanks brother, take care!
I am sure it could be improved. Check out the plans on the Stodoys website.
nail the inside angles first.
Mine works too. I used the Woodglut plans and performed it without any problems.
Nail the inside PEASES first
