I saved this video and I'm gonna have a go at making this star tomorrow.

Great explanations on degrees and using the jigs for the Stars. Saved your video and did notes. I’ll just convert over to standard measurements for me across the pond. I’ll have my son and make some of these for Christmas gifts this year. 👍🎄🎁🎅🏼

I'll have to make sure my granddaughters don't see this or I'll be in the shed until Christmas!
Good stuff, thanks.

thanks for the inspiration. I was going to send you a picture of the tree I finished today but I could not figure out how to do that. 🤔

I've always shied away from doing stars just because of the angles. Now I know how easy they are to make i can batch some out. Great video

Great video! Already made 3 Christmas Threes! On the star, you can go Long Piece, Short Piece all the way around instead of they way you did it, would make the seams the same all around :D, But it is easy to mix up the pieces.

Thanks John! I’m just getting into woodworking. I made a few of these today. This is my first project with oak flooring that I scrounge up. I had a bit of a time holding the top pieces to nail.
Thanks Again!
