DIY Drag Racing Christmas Tree

How to make a Drag Racing theme Christmas Tree. I'm a big Drag Racing fan, and I thought it would be good project for Christmas. I have also included the video from my Youtube channel. This is a Simple project that anyone can make.

You will need the following:

(1) 2" x 4" that is 96" Long

Miter Saw or Hand Saw

Clamp

(10) 3 1/2" Long Wood Screws

Green Paint and Brush, or Spray paint

Drill

Drill Bits

Tape Measure

Ornament Hooks

Screw Eyes

2 1/2" Long Pocket Screws

Pocket Screw Jig

Ornaments, I bought these from the Dollar Tree store

Cut 4 pieces off the 2 x 4, 9" inches long and leave the rest. The long piece left over should be around 59" or 59 1/2" long

Now set the Pocket hole jig drill bit for 1 1/2" wood. Clamp the jig to one end of the 9" long pieces and drill 2 holes.

Do this for all 4 short pieces of wood

Measure from the end where the pocket holes are on the side. Mark at the 3" and 6" and drill with a 1/16" drill bit. Then hand screw the screw eyes in.

Note do this for all 4 pieces, but remember that 2 pieces are going to be the opposite because they will mount to the other side

Now screw the pieces to the long 2 x 4, using the pocket hole screws. The first piece will align to the end as shown, then measure down 9" down for the second piece.

Then from the bottom of the last short piece that we screwed on. Measure down 7" inches and from that mark, make 4 more marks every 5" inches.

Then drill these marks with the same 1/16" inch drill bit and screw in the 3 1/2" inch long screws in these holes.

Note just barely screw them in, you want the screws to stick out

Find the center on the 1" x 9" x 20" board. With 2 screws, attached it to the bottom of the 2 x 4, as shown in the picture

Paint it with the Green Paint

I hung the ornaments on using the ornament hooks. I then went and bought some cheap lights from the Dollar tree and added those. It's up to you about using the lights. I think it came out pretty good, and I hoped you enjoyed this Instructable. Merry Christmas
