Thanks for the video my brother I am going to make these stars soon .. thanks for simplifying it for me.. ima subscribe now

Thank you so much for this video!!!! My wife's a class representative in my 4 year old son's class, and he requires a large star for this school's sports day. Although I'm a beginner at workwork, I was still able to use your method to create a perfect star at 2.2m in height. It's large enough to be included in photos at the event. I just need to sand it down, and apply some wood varnish, then I'm wrapping it with fairy lights. I don't have a truck/suv, so will need to assemble it at the event - I made my markings and just need to drill holes for bolts to run through the wood. thanks again!

You made this look easy, I have lots of pallet boards. I will give this a try

My daughter was here this morning,says dad can you make me some stars,sure I says ,thinking to my self might as well ask me to make a typewriter. Then this popped up! Thanks! Serendipity!

Haha . . . Funny how that works out sometimes isn’t

I shared this with a thirty-one-year-old mother-of-three in order to help her make some extra money. She's crazy about the idea. She went out and found her a pallet to use. I had already given her a jigsaw and some tools. Thanks a whole lot!

Thank you for straight forward instructions! Great video👍🏻

Having figured out the width restrictions for making the overlapping star the results areamazing. I made stars from 24 to 35. Inches in duplicate out of cedar fence pickets. Thanks Chris Notap.

superbly simple way of making a star. Thanks

It is a beautiful Star. Easy to do.

LOVED it!! I particularly liked the pencil segment! I’m inspired to make my own star!! Thanks! Lauri

Chris, This is so cool. Thanks for the detailed instructions!

Another great video, Chris!👏 I'm on a bit of a binge-watch of your channels this morning.👍😁 In case anyone is wondering why 72 degrees for the angles... since this star has 5 points, we take 360 degrees and divide by 5 to get 72 degrees. Have a great day!

Too Cool! Too Easy! Well Done!

This video is the exact video I was looking for. I want to make a few stars. Thank you.

Looks good.

This is a nice way as well. For people that do not have the JIG. I am a bit more fussy and prefer your first method. To me it has cleaner lines and in my opinion it is prettier. Thanks so much for giving me the heads up on this method. You are so creative and I enjoy watching the many ways you make your projects. My goal is to view them all and to begin to make many of them. This star will appeal to many people who own a jigsaw. Be well.

great instructional video!

These are great! Used old lath from a remodel project to gift staff members. Memory maker!

Thanks - this worked out great for me! I made a small mistake when setting up the saw for the 36deg angle and after a few scratches of the head I got it. Looks great too!

Me gustó mucho!!!!,Gracias!!!!!!!

Great video! I picked some boards that were to wide to allow assembly of the star 😞 . But - then i just cleaved the boards longitudinally on the table saw - and made 2 stars instead 🙂

Good explanation

nice job. made one no problem out of treated 1 bys and put lights around premiter. now on a 10 foot pole at garage peek.. thanks

@@chrisnotap Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy watching creative videos where the KZreadrs use those cool jobsite table saws and the miter saw, but I don't have those tools yet. Infact, 'my-1st-shop' is my back yard, just off the patio. I'm poised to start a KZread channel of my own. From guys like yourself, I've developed an appreciation for the person who doesn't have boatload of tools to work with. Wood Working is a Hobby for me, that I might like to build a business around. The idea of using tools that 'can' do the job. And showing and perhaps inspiring others to just go build something and discover it can be fun, and therapeutic 🤓.

I like that

thanks for posting this one. I think im going to practice the other way. i kinda dont care for the way it looks. i like all flat around the whole thing for painting. thanks though.i might try one though lol.

Thats good:-)

Great video! For beginners - I'm betting a good proportion of your viewers are such - it might have helped to also describe how to pick the right screws, so they hold adequately but don't poke out the front side. This would probably also lead to how to determine what size pilot hole should we drill, based on the kind of screw we are using. My experience is that the screw should barely catch in the pilot hole, but with very little effort, you would be able to push it in or pull it out with your fingers. Is this the best size, do you think? Also, I noted you put FOUR screws on the inner angles, and THREE on the outer angles. I think that's a total of 35 screws, right? Very useful. THANK YOU!

Figured out the chop saw angles. Subtract 36 from 90 and subtract 72 from 90. 54 and 18. You're welcome.

I liked as soon as that pencil dropped

I have a challenge if you're up for it. Smaller stars around 12-14 inches using thin wood like 1 gallon and 5 gallon paint sticks. These stars could be great for weddings or a galaxy themed birthday. Or even used for Christmas tree toppers in your yard. I'm curious what you come up with.

I am not a mathematician, but utilizing proportion, and cheating like crazy with a CAD program, I arrived at the following; With height H as defined by you, if S is the length of the pieces, and W the width of the pieces, then S=0.4106H + 1.053W. If we take Wmax as the maximum reasonable piece width, where the piece end meets the point middle, then Wmax=0.118H. If anyone thinks I'm wrong, I'd like to hear. I offer this only for the benefit of pedantic viewers who like to chew over detail. I like your idea, and flying pencil humor.

I really liked this video. Take that dad you said I couldn't do anything.

👍🏼

Just did this, awesome tutorial. Note on my tool, it didn’t look right until I made the angles 54 and 18, I’m a noob....

Making some "rustic" window shutters for a friend of mine that wanted stars mounted to them...holy hell this has to be the easiest way to mass produce a shit ton of stars I've ever seen..!!!

@chrisnotap

4 жыл бұрын

When I came up with the idea, I thought the same! All the pieces are the same size. No farting around. Thanks!

Hi Chris. Nice video. I have used it yesterday to make my first star. Only one thing to note: You cannot use any width of wood in relation with the length you wish for your star. I mean that for example if you want to build your star with a 4 inches width wood and a length of 10 inches it doesn't work at all. I met this problem yesterday during my star building. I had to reduce the width to 2 inches in order to be able to assembly wood at the final step. You precise angles ( 36° and 72°) are very important....It is right...But maybe...It is juste an advise, you should had a ratio between wood pieces length and the wood pieces width which is also important. Felicitations again for your video. I like your sharpener ;-). Best regards. Laurent
