What method did you use to come up with 11° for the angles?
That's really nice. Never seen the washer trick for tracing before. I'll be using that…
I think I'm the only one that was too impressed with that washer trick. LOL
Loved it ! But you would think that Santa has a email account. As slow as the mail service is now a days.
FYI: Santa lives in Korvatunturi, Finland – not in North Pole.
Steve, I love your stuff.
One way to do this is how many segmented turners glue up their segmented blanks. (Pardon me if I post this too soon, I started typing it before I finished watching the whole video…)
1) Lay all the slats out with the narrower end face down and the wider end edges all touching snugly (just as they will be when the project is complete.
2) Run several pieces of tape across the slats perpendicular to the cuts.
3) Flip the project over and glue in the valleys created by the angled cuts.
4) Roll the project into shape…The tape on the outside should give you ample clamping pressure around the curve with only light pressure on the ends keeping it in shape.
That's a project to let the kids paint it. Thank you for sharing your videos. Thanks to MicroJig and Audible for sponsoring the show.

Personally I would've use white hardware. I think it would be more christmasier than the black.
Can you do a video about drill bits, which types there are and how to properly use them?
Thumbs up for the washer trick.
I made a curved top chest. I found lay the stays edge to edge across stips of tape. Then glue the mating surfaces. I hung them over a sawhorse. It worked for me. If I did it over again I'd just use the ends.
Looks like an irregular sized watermelon. Haha
Nice job
The washer scribe is brilliant.
I knew the time of my son believing in Santa Clause was over when his last letter to Santa was a subpoena for failure to fulfill a written and verbal contract for goods and services provided in exchange for acceptable and exemplary behavior .
Neat idea using a washer as an offset guide!
Half way through that my two year old started demanding I make him a train tunnel!!
Just FYI, you have some sensor dust or lens dust
after my son said " this isnt a boring video, i like this mailbox" i started 1 today, more tape than glue on it right now.
I was searching on how to make mail boxes last week
Hi Steve, both Amazon links you provided link to the digital angle finder. (I was looking for the weld bond)
Could go over the outer line of the writing with a permanent marker to neaten it up?
Steve, how are you SURE you're not repeating micro-jig jokes? I'm imagining a massive google doc, but I need to know.
It's too early Steve!
To clamp the bits at the start, could you put pieces with a reverse bevel on the sides of each glued piece causing them to be square? I don't know if that would work but it might be a solution?
Steve, could you not lay all the strips on tape , glue the joints and roll the timber into a half circle
That washer-trick was pretty freakin cool man.
wow mom
Why are there purple patches on the wall behind you? Couldn't you buy some white paint instead of being cheap and just slapping on what ever you had? It's such an eye sore this way.
that was pretty cool. may need to make me one of these for our grandkids
Marking the back and front with the washer to get the extra overlap: super simple but also pure genius 🙂 Gotta remember that one 😉
Gmornin Steve! I appreciate your videos and ideas. What is the length and width at the top of the angled pieces?
They look like they are about 12" long? The tops look to be close to 1.5" – 1.65" wide?
Thanks for your help
12 inchs of 6 wood. for the door betr
Thanks for this tutorial, I'm going to use this to make a Christmas themed geocach. Your channel has taught me a lot of how I can use the machines in my workshop (or rather my father's workshop). Anyhow thanks a lot and keep up the good work! Greeting from sweden.
washer was a really cool idea!
Steve, I'm in full panic mode right now! Why did I put off making xmas gifts for so long??? I need a pep talk
Beautiful!
Tell me please, what kind of ink or varnish have you used for?
I realise that there is the color, but we can still see the wood draw.
Pretty beautiful!
🙂
My angles never jive with yours. I need a better way to measure my blade angle.
I love audio books ! great mailbox ! lots of fun.
How did you know you needed a 11.5 degree angle?
Also, i need a new mailbox, im gonna try this.
Buon Natale from Italy
