I built 5 this afternoon. I love this project they are going to make great gifts! Useful tip drill all the holes put them on the dowel rod then cut the shape of the tree. Way quicker and and if the holes are a little off it will not matter if you do it this way
This should be pinned by Matthew. Awesome and very smart thinking.
Ahh I just posted this before I saw yours. Only downfall to this is some wasted material.
@@htown860 Never any waste if you have a fire place or fire pit you use lol
@@rickw6521 lol definitely.
The styrofoam is a good idea for the saw. No sitting there making sure you aren’t cutting the surface of your workbench.
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
Man... I look foward to everything matt puts out!! simple videos, quick and to the point!
Thank you. I try to be that way.
Dude that dresser that’s ripped Down the middle is so awesome!!!
@ 9:42 …The way that the cutoffs so perfectly fit the top of the tree brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful 🥲
😂 it was a beautiful moment wasn’t it.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking 🤩
Matthew, there are usually many similar ways to make the same kind of craft. When I see them popping up all over CZcams, 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
Wow...great idea my man.
I'm a little down on money right now and decided to drop $25 on the wood for 4 of these 3ft trees in hopes Id sell them. We posted them online in the small town I live in lastnight and they're already spoken for!! A little hard work for a couple of days here and there in my spare time and I made $175 profit.
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to work up an idea and a cut list and posting the video. Definitely a blessing for me and my family this week!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family!
Take care.
I love hearing this. Keep up the good work!
I watch a lot on CZcams and I can count on one hand the projects I would actually make or think could really make money. This has to be number one.
I love it! The only thing I would change is to run a through hole on one side and string, to make sure each spoke can only fan out to a certain degree, for faster setup as a tree.
I’m taking your string idea (thank you very much😀) and hoping to successfully go one more step. I purchased a box of 50 miniature LED white lights. My goal is to have one upright light on both ends of every slat. I’m envisioning in a darkened room a pretty cool look.
The chest of drawers in the background, on the shelf is awesome!
Thank you for the video, I can’t stop thinking how the wood came full circle once was a tree and now finished as a tree. 😀
I showed my wife, and got told to go get what I need to make them. Good days work, just need to make the star. I appreciate everything you do for us amateurs.
I make cedar wind spinners like this. I cut to 1/4" strips, length depends on what you want. So, to make even smaller trees (1-foot to 18"), use 1/4" strips to make it aesthetically appealing. This is a great idea to get started on. I started too late on the Pumpkin Lanterns this year. Love your channel.
what is pumpkin lanterns ..? very 🤔🤔🤔
Killer idea. Can you provide me measurments for the 12" and the 18" please, id really appreciate it.i had a head injury several years back and i have a hard time figuring shit anymore. Thank you.
@@rickygoodman1294I bought plaster lath strips 7$ for 48 pieces 4' long, 1/4"×1.5". Simply cut to length and stack to 18" tall! Matthew does all the rest in his video! Best of luck! Prayers for your recovery!
@@emmanuellevargas7021They are 4 sided boxes cut out with faces on one side. They can have a tea light inside. Wooden lid with stem. Solid bottom.
Because I now have the time for something like this, I didn't find what I was looking for on my German YT channels and just came across your channel via Pinterest. Great idea that I will recreate, thanks for showing ☺️👍👍
Bro you are legit my hero. I love your videos and the fact you're out here helping us all get our businesses going. You are a rockstar!
Thank you for all the support!
I made these last year as outdoor decorations. Made 5 in different sizes and made a reindeer family for in front of them. I thought it looked great. I might string light around them this year.
These are amazing! While I love watching your videos, I'm NOT handy. I enjoy seeing what you create. I would happily pay $50 for a 3 foot tree because I don't have the tools to make it myself and it's so unique and will last a lifetime!
Thanks Pamela! And if your not up to giving it a try you're in the right place. I'm sure one of the Makers on this channel would be happy to get their first order! Can anyone help Pamela out?
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking I truly will buy one!
@@pamelaflirtyskunk7698 I would consider building you one of these trees, but shipping may run some money! Where are you located?
I’d love to make as many as you need! :) Im a full time woodworker out in Arkansas, and would be honored to make a few.
I was just thinking of this when I saw someone make one for an office standing 8-10ft tall with wooden named ornaments. Thank you.
Oh my gosh! My hubby is just starting woodworking for a hobby. This seems fairly simple to make, yet gorgeous! So glad I found your channel and thank you for sharing your expertise!
No worries. Thanks!
I made several. after cutting all the pieces to rough size I drilled the center hole. then I put em all together with the dowel flat on a table. then I drew the angle lines for each side. clamping them together I ran the whole thing thru the saw. all came out great. to me way easier way.
Made one of these last night from some left-over fence pickets. They are a little thicker material, but it still worked great and now I have a green tree for outside!
Man you are freaking awesome. you have changed my life and got me to believe in myself again,
I’m so glad. Thank you for your support!
What a simple and great build! Love the speedsquare in the backpocket!
Thanks! And yea, proud dad moment there. It definitely made me smile when I saw it.
Made these 30 years ago and sold them as wind spinners with a fishing swivel on top. Nice way to expand the selling season with the same product.
Nice!
I bought 14 16' 2x10s in the Home Depot culled pile for $6 each a few days ago. These would be great to use them for.
Perfect!!
Thats awesome if your HD still sells culled pieces. All of ours in the area stopped about 2 years ago. They were a great moneysaver.
I built two right after watching this video. Thank YOU
‘Round and Round’ by Ratt.
Niiice... you just showed your age with that one... and mine for know what your talking about. lol
My grandma has wooden hanging decorations on her porch that look like those. She's had them for over 30 years
Love your builds! I've ran a line of the picket planters and they do really well. Appreciate the giveback to the community 👍🏼
Nice! I’m glad to do it!
speechless Mathew on this video.The DNA double helix in wood.Amazing.
Lol thanks!
Music could be that song you spin me right round. Lol
hey brother , we don't know each other but i've been watching you for a while and just just this on computer were i can comment , Im 62 so apolgize for my tyoing just glad to comment....
rockin' around the christmas tree would fit. great build, fixing to show the wife our next project
Thank you! Send me pics when you guys finish!
Totally a king that large tree, that way my dog won’t destroy it 😂. Thanks for the share, it’s stunning.
Can't wait to try this. I've seen this design in a small scale used as wind chimes...well not chimes but something you hang on your porch or deck that spins in the wind. Another great video. Thank you.
Yea, this one is tight and doesn’t spin, but I think I’ve seen what you’re talking about.Thank you!
My father in law made us 3 years ago, really cool. Now it's in my snake cage and she loves it
By the way, I am building your farm style planter boxes with a full bottom to replace my collapsible storage containers in my cubed furniture! They are a big hit! I just put the X on the front side and left the rest plain. I used felt on the bottom of the boxes so they would slide in and out much easier without damaging the cubed furniture. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
I'm going to need to find my creativity out of necessity.. Last night I went dumpster diving and took home a haul of wood. All different shapes and sizes, and I'm organizing it now as I listen to these awesome videos...Thank you for all you do. I will post as soon as I figure out how. I am a little older, and not great with all of the technology...
I love your videos man. Being a fellow woodworker, I love all the ideas that you come up with. It can be tough for me to come up with good ideas. I like to build the intricate expensive stuff. So please keep up the good work. I love the small projects that have the high profit margins. Great work man.
"You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round...."
Appreciate this. Thank you.
The cabinet that looks like it’s split is amazing. Did you make this? My first time here but Now I’m going to be looking at more of your videos.Love the trees too. Well done.
My mom had a round shaped one of these when I was growing up. She had it hanging from a tree. I love this idea and I am going to make them.
These are beautiful!!! Some can’t appreciate the prices of art. When it requires $2k in tools to be a creative and have people say “oh it’s just a two by four” makes me steam.
Very modern yet traditional style. Better than box store offers.
And don’t forget Made in America❤️
Lol
Rock Around the Clock would be a great tune.
Absolutely love the trees Matthew, great design, nice job buddy.
Love the support your giving people. I’ll make a few for our yard (California) as decorations.
I love your videos. I love your projects. I love your incredibly giving personality. Thank you. I was hoping to build some kind of tree this year and these are great!
My great grandfather made wind chimes using this technique. Thank you for sharing this project and process with us all . I hope you all have a great Christmas .
Thank you and merry Christmas!
Always appreciate your ability to present the reality & cost of woodworking. Love your tree designs.
No worries. I’m glad to do it.
Way cool trees. I'm thinking make them really pop by incorporating some color changing LED lights.
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.
Your idea of farmers markets is great. If I saw one there, I would buy it! You may get have to inquire if the market needs to approve your presence or takes a cut of sales. Many are non-profit and just needs to know you are there.
Built a small one this afternoon.
Got enough material to do 2 smalls and 1 big for 43 bucks.
Thanks for all the videos you do.
How long is the 2X4? He never said that
@@scottdepew3495 8ft
Thanks Stan
Love it! I’ve always liked these and thanks to you I now know how to make one! For the music I was thinking Flight of the Bumble Bee when you started moving the boards but for comedy the Benny Hill theme 😂
Bahahaha... I was thinking "right round" while I was spinning.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking That's a good one too!
I can't believe the knowledge I've gained in a short time by watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the project! Loved the simplicity! Loved the humor/self deprecating commentary! And loved the connection between you & your kids. Too many young people out there have absentee fathers! You have much to be proud of!! Thanks for the video!!
Twistin’ The Night Away
I'm going to make a table-top version to give as gifts. Thanks for inspiration! I love your channel. If you have a video up, it is the first one I watch. Wish you posted more, but I'll take the quality over quantity any day. 😊
I saw a nother comment that said 1/4 inch cut is better asceticly for smaller trees than 1/2 inch. Just a suggestion from a nother commenter that might help you out. Good luck on your project.
Awesome simple project. Huge money maker. I drilled 1/8" holes 1/4" from the end of each one of the slats to allow for decorations to be hung from this tree if so desired.
I love your channel! These trees are amazing. I’m just starting to think about getting into woodworking, but I think next year I will definitely have to try! Saved this to my future build playlist.
Awesome!
Im starting this on Saturday for an upcoming craft show in a month. Can't wait to get it finished.
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?
Your son reminded me of myself when I was younger. My grandad was like the master of everything, my dad and uncles are master of one skill each (electrician, plumber, woodworker and welder) but each good at all. As a kid I would work between them all aspiring to be my grandad. I always chose the tools over toys, from as early as 5 I can remember id rather build the ramp for my bike than jump it.
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?
This is now going to be my Saturday! Thank you!
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
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.
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!
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?
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.
I'm super excited to build the 3 foot one to start, but I wanted to know how you got the grain to pop on the finished ones. Did you use an oil or varnish? Has anyone stained them? I would think a poly finish would make them more difficult to turn
My variation uses reclaimed mahogany from a deck. I have the whole deck! I mix the red mahogany with the pine. Looks very high class. I market them with different color lights and different tops for Halloween/Fall, 4th of July/Summer, and Christmas. Makes it almost evergreen. Well almost!
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.
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.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Probably still doesn't hurt to put a little glue on, right? I wonder if one could ship the smaller one.
@@dkpianist The beauty in this design is at the end of the Holiday season, you fold them flat & stow away. Once you glue, you are “stuck” with storing it away in that mode.
Wow. A speed square in his back pocket, you have to be a proud papa. Wish my boys would take an interest. Great video sir.
Id Put it on a rotating base and decorate with battery operated christmas lights!
I have made something similar but smaller... all cut the same length and hang on a tree branch and they spin with very little breeze. Pretty and calming.
"Rockin round the christmas tree" Comes to mind. I'm definitely on board with this project. Thanks again.
I like it. No worries!
I love the different colors too! Could even paint a few boards pieces before cutting them.
These babies are niiice! Glad to see your boys are following in dads footprints. Again, thanks for tips and have a great week ahead.
Yes, they make me proud everyday. Thanks you too!
I made a wind spinner a while ago and it took me a while. Wasn't going to make another one again. Now I wanna make this wind-spinning-looking tree. Thank you Matthew for ruining my short weekend, lol. A great project as always. Keep them coming!!
bahaha. I dig it! I was actually thinking of putting this on a slow rotating motor
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking another great idea. Now my girlfriend wants one TODAY. Thank you again!!! lol.
Hi Matthew, Thanks for sharing, I have made several 3' trees, and sold 5 of them for $50.00 each. I plan to make more of them and sell them decorated for $75.00. I made 1- 7' and donated it to My Shriner's Feztival of trees , I'm anixous to see how they decorate it!
wow love how you can make these without having to have a bunch of woodworking tools. Like how you explain everything in detailed steps and easy to follow. Love the sound of you voice you could easily be a motivational speaker.
Rocking around the Christmas tree! Yessir! Great video!
That is awesome. Love your videos and that your son does it also, my boy is 10 and loves to be out in the shop building things.
Thanks! That is awesome... Teach him! He's a sponge for knowledge right now. Every time you go out build on what he already knows. Keep it up!
So awesome. I don't have my table saw yet, so I'll pay a few extra bucks to buy pre-milled 1/2 x 2 in trim pieces. I think I'd really like a super mini table-top version, about 18" tall but I can figure that out.
Channeling the Bob Ross making happy little trees 😁 🤙
You are so right DAD! Good for you!🙏👍 & I love this project. I will update you if they sell for me.. God Bless!!
Thank you for your support!
What about painting these with a quick roller after sticking the dowel in, and squaring up the ends? You leave the top and bottom of each piece natural and it should give it enough contrast to look cool. 🤔😎
Just ordered plans . Looking forward to making a few for friends and family.
Watched this video and immediately knew I need to make some of these. Thanks for that!
No worries!
Clever technique. Thinking about short spacers between branches to allow for hanging ornaments.
That would be neat. I like it.
Thank you very much I love watching your videos l am from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹and I don't have all of the tools I would like as yet but thank you for showing me all the things I can do with the tools I have 👍😁
Thank you for your support and welcome to the channel!!
"You Spin Me Right Round"
-80's music (Gotta Love it)!
I just came upon your channel today, 11/20/22. Great ideas and tips.
Welcome!
So… starting ripping these down and my table saw is possessed, so I ended up ripping a few left over pickets that I had, which made them a little thicker… had an issue with mitering the small parts (my fence isn’t long enough, so it turned into a projectile) so excited to see how it looks when. I’m done… so appreciate even you share!!
SO CREATIVE AND PRETTY!
"You spin me round" by dead or alive! Thanks for the great ideas!
Just wanted to pop in real quick and pay a compliment, keep up the great content!
I wish you continued success YT needs more creators like you! ✌🏻
BRO! I love the dresser in the background. I haven't looked yet but I hope you have a video about that.
Omg, these spiral trees are gorjuss!you are certainly creative and I wish I was a bit younger cuz I would be doing this. I don’t use big power drill anymore so I would have to do things on a way smaller scale. I will keep watching and learning as much as I can. I’m over 70 and you talk really quick so often I have to watch a couple times. You’re super so I’m a stubby now! Tfs I have to find out how to purchase things now, the ones I can’t make. Lol Happy Holidays!
So Mr Peech I had a craft show last weekend and unfortunately I only had time to make one of the 3ft spiral tree. Sold it for $75.00. Do have one more eorder for another one next week. Thank you sir.
Congrats on the sales. Keep it up!
Just. Got my materials and I'm starting to put it together. Thanks so much for all the time you put into your videos. You rock
You’ve got this!! Thank you!
Another great video! I love the humour (cdn) and look forward to trying out your project!
