Nicely done! And as a Texan, I absolutely see this jig/project in my future for some 3D stars on a large wooden shop flag! :). Thanks so much!

You know what would make this star POP ? When you showed us the first star when trying to make the pieces fit, there was a small concave star in the middle, which looked really cool, If you could pick her out how to make the pieces fit together perfectly but also keeping the metal star within the 3D star, I think that would look really unique.

I recently made a similar jig for the table saw that used a cedar picket to make a 3D star. Lots of trial and error. I used superglue to glue my star together. It works well. My jigs are not adjustable and that limits me to one size star. I do like your idea of the 25 degree holes for the mini dowels and often use bamboo skewers for that purpose. If you have a star that is a little loose when you glue it together it is possible to hand plane or sand the last edge to get it to fit. Thank you for sharing.

I really like the little stars in the middle. I don’t know if I can wait for your jig video I might try making one before hand. 😅 Weird idea may be good may not. I personally would experiment and join two stars together back to back and one have the little star in it. Could you make nautical stars with this using two different types(colors) of woods?
@savvybuilds
Ай бұрын
I will try to make a nautical star in the future...I would probably need to cut two 9 degrees wedges for an 18 degree point. The only issue I forsee are the clamps getting in the way of the blade gaurd but maybe I'll get lucky again. Only one way to find out!

Excellent video! I was able to make a close duplication of your jig between a picture & your narrative. Using it for the first cuts & then making the last cut with stop blocks right now. Question for you, since you’re the resident mathematician in this group how do I make a larger star? I’m obviously limited on the miter saw so I’ve tried making a sliding jig for the table saw. A 1x4 will only make one just so large so is it just a matter of using the same dims with a wider piece of lumber?
@savvybuilds
9 күн бұрын
Hey! That's great to hear! So the 1x4 is pretty much the maximum size for cutting the first angle with this jig however, the second part of the jig can cut much bigger with stop block moved outwards. In order to make a 3d star using a 1x6 would require you to make the compound cut (same angles) on a table saw with a sliding sled. Then glue the two pieces together. Then go back to the miter saw to cut the inner angles. There should be enough room if you have a massive miter saw like mine. I don't think you can cut the inner angles on the table saw because the blade probably wont go high enough. I hope this helps. I actually already started making a simple table saw sled for this reason. I want bigger! Have a great day!

Others here noted this is by far the easiest approach to 3D stars to follow... I've burnt out my math neuron, though, so no offer of a magical equation from me. That said, and someone below pointed out, if you're doing a 5-point star and using a 90-degree (blade not tilted over for a compound cut) approach on the second jig, wouldn't the angle have to be 22.5 degrees? Then the shims would only be needed to adjust the overall length of your point part (to keep or eliminate the second little star)...? Also - you do realize that you almost made tiny Star Destroyers, right?
@savvybuilds

Are you wanting to make a 2d star without the bevel? If so the angles to the inner part of the star would be the same but the first Jig would have to be set to 18 degrees. In this video I am cutting a 36 degree angle. 36 x 2 = 72 degrees (72 x 5 = 360) which gives me the angles needed for a 5 point star to fit together accurately. I cut the triangular pieces for the jig on my miter saw at 54 degrees but it actually gives me a 36 degree angle when I make the cut with this set up. Hope this helps. This stuff can get very confusing! Cheers!

A 24 degree (possibly 23) bevel may get you that 36 degree angle.
