Proud Daddy

Well done! Great job on your son’s part.

And you should be proud as well!

Cheers!

Very cool looking. I would be proud too.

Atta boy Dad! Time spent in the woodshop with your son/dad is time well spent. Give your son a fist bump for me and tell him I said “Good job!”

-- Rick - I know I am not perfect, but I will keep pressing on toward the goal of becoming all I am called to be.

I always enjoy seeing both young people creating things, especially wood crafts and parent and child spending time together doing something meaningful. Great job guys!

It is nice to see young people showing an interest in woodworking.

Good job for both of you.

Great Job! I’ve seen similar ones but never really liked them, they always looked too symmetrical. This one looks great with that seemingly random arrangement of branch angles. That boy has a bright future ahead of him with those sharp memory, math, and design skills.
Thanks for posting.

Get that kid into engineering school! If he can transform something he sees into reality, he’ll be great!

NICE! I am curious does it fold back and lay flat for storage? Or somewhat flat? LOL. Always good to see the younger ones getting involved and problem solving.

There is a 1/2” dowel in the center and a 1/2” hole at the center of each arm. So they can all be turned at the same orientation and it will be flat except for the 1’ x 1’ base.

Bravo! Excellent tree. It deserves Daily top 3. Very creative (and money saving idea).

Thanks everyone, He was super proud of himself after seeing the comments. I’m looking forward to working with him on his next project.

nice work

Way to go Dad and son. I bet it smells more like pine than the tree I just bought in a parking lot. ;)

So this folds almost flat. Sweet design.

yep folds flat for storage. If I where to design it, I would have made the base more substantial and removable to make the center rod more stable.
