14 years later and still as educational as the day you released the video, awesome

Combining the drill with the disc sander is pure genius.

Thanks for sharing your technique that shows how you shape the trunks.  I just started making some of these trees and hand carved the first five trunks, but after seeing this video, I did a couple of large trunks using the sanding disk and drill method.  What a difference and it took no time at all to produce them.

Ty, this will be my first attempt at making 0 scale trees for model railroading I purchased all materials needed, except the tree trunks. I have not decided on wood, real tree roots, and two products which are dried roots. This will take more thought. I have enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for creating this tool so others can learn. Very well done !

Hair spray will eventually dry up. Use mat medium.

Thank you for your instructional video.  You're a good teacher.

Using the drill is brilliant.

Dude , so far this is one the most informative how toos i have seen on how to make trees. You rock !!!

I have seen many ways of making trees and this is one I have not seen. What a great and affordable idea! Thank you so much for this fantastic vid. VERY well done and informative.

This is the best and most in-depth pine tutorial I have ever been able to find. Thank you.

Quick question for anyone willing to offer an opinion: if I am making a tree that is about twice the size of the one made in this video, would you recommend using 2mm static grass instead of fine ground cover for the flock?

Great clip, those trees look very convincing. I think the ability to make each tree different is what gives this method the edge. I particularly like the dead lower limbs!

Great demo on the furnace filter trees. I'm tired of paying a fortune for armatures and have been looking for a more natural looking spruce/pine trees. Thanks!!!

Awesome real looking trees.   Like you, I've found very few real looking trees on YouTube.  I am just starting a layout and you have given me great ideas.  Thanks!!!

very clever...luv the dead branches on the end really added to it...thanks.

awsome vid thanks for sharing, your the first person I have seen that went into detail about furnance filter tress. Again thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your time to post this; this was most helpful and has helped me to fine-tune my furnace-filter trees!

Absolutely fantastic video! The method you demonstrate goes to show how model railroading doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg to make beautiful scenery. thank you for taking the time to do this video!

Cheers
