The free plans are in the description below.
The coolest thing about this jig is its ability to achieve 60 degree angles on the miter saw so the end grain is hidden, unlike the 30 degree boards.
This section makes sure the overlaps are spaced the same and the nails are hidden on the interior.
These boards are used as bracing so you can easily nail the top boards together, while keeping your hand toes at a safe distance.
These two are the original trees I made last year, and then when I was on Pinterest I found this adorable baby one and just had to add him to the family. He is a shorter version of the middle tree, so I can still make all three using the same jig.
If you are only wanting a few trees to give as gifts, their will be a video recommendation at the end where I build these trees without the jig.
First, find a board that is at least two feet long and cut two 30 degree miters at the end, it should look kind of like a pencil. I rounded the edges of my jig because my belt sander was a new toy in the garage at the time.
Measure in about 3/4 inch and score a line down the right side. And get two pieces of scrap, about ¾ x 3/4 , 6 inches long and secure them on the line, this space does a few things; it gives your consistent cuts, it keeps everything square, it allows you to hold the workpieces and use the saw safely, as most miter saws controls are done with your right hand, and it reduces the chance of movement or kickback. You can also clamp down your workpiece, if desired.
Then, download these plans. I use ½” stock material from the big box stores, this jig can be used for any size tree, however, this area where I nail the sides, is constructed from 1/2” material, so 3/4” material cannot be used in this section.
I use my jig to align my miter blade using the base, lock your blade angle, and secure the jig using a clamp. The jig does not have to be up against your saw blade, mine is usually a quarter inch from my blade, this way my jig doesn’t get marred up.
