How to Make ● a STAR from Pallet Wood

Hi... I'm really struggling with the 18° angle my chop saw only goes to 45° and the pallet planks are 4 inch wide ... this might sound thick but I just need help Please do you measure each one spectate or just one and template it on to other pieces

Been trying to make these stars and the angels just aren't right, have tried 4 times and gave up, very disappointed

I tried and tried again but I was coming up with a star with 8 points, I have just realised you removed 54 degrees, I cut the board at 54 degrees but not I’m gunna try 36 degrees and hopefully it will work lol

Great job Chris... Just followed your instructions and It turned out perfect. I made a Jig to make 18 degree cut on my mitre saw.
Chris, if I want to make star out of 4 feet side pieces, will cut angles remain of same size? Or do I need to follow some mathematical formula?
Once again, great job... Chris..!

What happen to the wood glue Chris?

so I just tried this and it turned into a 6 point star....not sure how or why!?! any help would be great thanks.

hi chris. i love this ! can you tell me what angle cuts i would need to do for a 5 point 6" star? i need to make small ones for a project. thanks in advance ! lynn

hi chris. ok, i am using small paint sticks to practice with... my mitre saw only goes to 50 deg. angle. so, if i do 1 side 50 deg. do i lower the 18 deg. level side to 14 deg?

Thank you good job

Why not make the instructions to cut a 72 degree miter on one end (the 18 degree angle end) and a 36 degree miter on the other end (leaving 54 degrees). Saying to "make an 18 degree angle and a 54 degree angle" is very confusing.

If anyone is having trouble with this star (and I did initially), cut 72 and 36 degree miter and disregard the 18 and 54 stuff.

Nice use of a radial arm saw.

Cool project, smart looking star
Cheers

Good way to we can learn something

Отличная поделка!

Nice job! I’ve looked at so many explanations of how to make one of these as yours is by far the clearest. Thank you :)

any ideas on how to join the pieces if you want to make a smaller star? I made one with 7" pieces and all I can think to do other than just gluing is to Pin it.

WOW!!!! Are you an engineer??? So detailed... Merry Christmas... Thanks.

Thanks, now I can hang this in my alter for lovely Lucifer.

Nice

Good Stuff! I have a version I build with cedar pickets using a similar technique, though I built a jig to use on my table saw. Makes the cuts really easy.

Will the 54 &18 degree cuts work at any length?

Thanks for sharing now i have an idea to make it😍 keep it up

Everytime I try to make one for some reason the bottom of the star never matches up. I use the same length and width boards and I cut them all the same angles

great job...Chris ..I liked so much..yes ,, is the perfect star ..thank so much.for sharing

I'd I'm not mistaken you could use wood joiners that you drive in with a hammer

Since miter saw doesn't go 54 did you cut 18? And for the 18 cut 36?

Hello. Can I ask what model Kreg jig did u use? Thank you!

Very cool thanks

What size are the screws?

How do I cut my 18 degree cut on my table saw...do not have a compound miter saw

Very Nice 👍

Very good video. Thanks for sharing. Since Christmas is coming back every year it stays actual. i discovered this video only today.
If I look to the star logically, it seems to me that the 54 degree angle is a constant and the other (18 degree in your case) angle depends on the length of
the wooden parts. Am I correct with that? If so, how can I calculate the necessary angle when working with longer or shorter boards?

Thank you for this video. I was looking for the angles to cut a star and I just found them thank you! You gained a subscriber. 👍🏻

Thank you for the video. Without having a degree wheel, how do you determine the angle cuts for 18 and 54 degrees. My miter saw will be able to get the 54 degree cut, but the 18 degree is well beyond. Did you have to use a jig? Or did you use a table saw?

Again you made it so easy. I live in Texas the lone star state. I will make these for myself and a few friends, I have the KREG JIG and love it. Thanks Chris.

How long each piece of wood is ? Thank you .From Quebec , Canada .

Hi! About how long did this take to make?

Great video! Simple, well explained! Thanks

What angles do you cut n a common miter saw? Because 18 and 54 degrees on a common miter saw don’t work out that way.

Awesome video, thank you for sharing! I will be making this shortly for sure. You made it very easy to do, thanks again.

Cool!

That's thing of beauty! 👏 bravo!

So how long are the boards before cutting the angles?

Vc tinha como profissional ensinar a fazer o gabarito pra cortar essas peças

What happens on the width is the angles always the same.

Labeled his angles wrong I pretty sure

I think it must be 36 Degrees and not 18, or?

How can I attach C9 or C7 Christmas lights to this.

Just found you for the first time, I have tried so many times to make stars, but just can’t get the angles right. After watching you tonight I will be trying this tomorrow. Thank you, you make sense.
