I’ve had my eye on a wooden Christmas Tree Collar for years now but I couldn’t bring myself to spend over $100 on one. This year I decided to try and make it myself using readily available materials from our local Home Depot. In this video I’ll break down all the steps I took to make it so you can follow along and learn from my mistakes. I wanted to share this simple, beginner woodworking project because it’s perfect for the hobbyist woodworker who is just getting started and doesn’t necessarily have a workshop full of tools.
I built these office cabinet built-ins for our small home office that accommodates an adjustable standing desk and includes a built-in LED overhead light. It was an interesting woodworking challenge because of the tight space and the need to allow room for the desk to raise.
