Hey Matthew, just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. They have been a life saver. Got diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder last year. It has been a journey but I'm back in the shop and made 3 trees to give to family. It was suppose to be just therapy for me. Ended up selling 7 the next day when my wife posted the pictures. Everytime I was getting depressed I would watch another video. Thanks for all you do Mark

Matthew, there are usually many similar ways to make the same kind of craft. When I see them popping up all over KZread, I skip them and look on YOUR channel. I know I’ll always find the absolute best way to make it. You never start out by using some tool I’ll never afford and you talk to 99% percent of your viewers. And at a pace we can easily follow. If I could only watch one woodworking channel it would be yours! I hope this gives you some idea of how much I appreciate your time and love of teaching at my level. Louis Landi in NJ

I make cedar wind spinners like this. I cut to 1/4" strips, length depends on what you want. So, to make even smaller trees (1-foot to 18"), use 1/4" strips to make it aesthetically appealing. This is a great idea to get started on. I started too late on the Pumpkin Lanterns this year. Love your channel.

Big fan of this channel, really focused on the small business aspects of woodworking. It's a small niche but absolutely perfect for us aspiring side hustlers! I can see making a ton of these in my free time throughout the year and then setting up shop at farmers markets or something and making a killing. Actually idk if you have any videos on it, but covering good spots to sell or ways market yourself (besides the common facebook pages and such) would be a good video in itself. I'm sure some people would place orders online or social media, but these are probably great impulse buys too if you target the right places.

Matthew, this is probably a dumb question but once assembled, are the slats free to move or is there a way you have them somewhat secure?

Do you use anything to keep them in place after spiraling or just keep them movable for storage? Love your videos and ideas. Merry Christmas

@namgorf2001

So I made both the 3ft and 7ft versions and found that a long strip of the same cut board with double stick tape attached vertically across the strips makes the able to stay flat while storing and easier to transport. I like them not being locked in place after spiraling cuz then you lose the customizable option of how much to spiral it.

Thank you for sharing this. I was able to build one with a drill and circular saw due to not having a table saw. Not perfect especially when not in the spiral but in the spiral looks good (in my opinion). Thank you for making the videos where someone like me who doesn't have great knowledge can build something!!

Anytime I've cut a 2x4 into thin strips like that, they've moved significantly and ended up pretty bent after just a couple of weeks. Are these lengths probably short enough to limit this being noticible?

Mathew, just curious as to how you keep the spirals from separating and moving around during handling. Is this accomplished with the top ornament putting the pressure on the slats?

@BarrySumpter

I drilled a hole in the top centre down into the dowel. Then a screw from the top into the dowel. Tightened just enough to keep the spiral while transporting.

This is a great video and gives a lot of makers ideas for the upcoming holidays. Thank you for this awesome video!

I love this. And to limit movement I think I'd add a couple small holes at each end to feed some fishing line or small pins through. You could even use those holes to create an edge to it too. I think I might use the pins, that way it can still be taken apart to be put away. I can't wait to make one!

Hi Matthew. How do you stop the pieces from spinning? I make wind spinners the same way but use threaded rod and tighten firmly so they don't spin. Great projects, I'l be building these for sure.

@MatthewPeechWoodworking

Жыл бұрын

The small ones are a tight fit because the hole and the dowel are both 5/8”… and the large one doesn’t spin bc of the weight of the ones above it. The further up on the big tree they can spin but it’s still requires a little force to do so. I hope that makes sense.
