📕 I put this build and thirty-nine more that sell — with the wood, the cost, the hours, and what folks paid me for every one — in Dale's Garage Woodworking Manual: https://dalebuildsit.com/ Seven tools, no table saw, one-car garage. That's all it takes.

This video would have been much better if you actually showed us the making instead of a instruction video.

Nicely done! I appreciate your thoroughness! I made something similar, except with a lantern (with a battery operated candle) instead of a cross. My greatest challenge was, not being a fisherman, tying the fishing line. I spent no less then 10 hours over a four day period getting that right! That time included going to a sportsman store to get help! t was extremely frustrating. I ended making a jig to hold everything laid over and in just the right position so I could work on it horizontally. And even then, I actually had to develop my own knot. This was a gift for my Pastor, and I'm praying the knots will hold! NO JOKE!

Shame I can’t post pics of mine. Exotic woods, different styles, my magnets are hidden, use braided line instead of mono of fluorocarbon.

How do you get it to stay straight vs being at the 11 o’clock position when looking at the top?
