Pallet tree base suggestions
My question is, how do I make a base for this tree without a jig saw? As you can see in the above link, she made pocket holes. Any ideas?

Sally on Nov 27, 2015You don't have to make the whole base if you used just 1 piece of wood and drilled screws up into the base of the tree from the bottom it would still work but if you want the same base you can find instructions on how to make kreg drill holes without a kreg. You just angle your regular drill to make the holes.Helpful Reply

Valerie on Nov 29, 2015Personally, if I did not want to make the base, I would make the centre piece longer, and then put the 'tree' in a bucket of sand. That would give you a solid base and solve the problem of the base. And you get to have fun decorating the bucket!Helpful Reply
