Let’s make a decorational tree quick


It is was Christmas time again and I needed a present for my relatives. We don’t gift each other much but I was thinking a small, self made thing to give is okay.
Since I’m currently experimenting with making o-ring based joints for laser cut HDF boards I thought that this would make a nice occasion to put my findings to use.

Long story short. This design can be cut out of (exactly) 3 mm wide HDF board. It seems ordinary plywood does not work. The surface is not as smooth as HDF and it may be a little wider than 3 mm or wrap with (or without) humidity.

To assemble the tree simply slide both tree parts in to each other and put the foot onto the bottom of the tree (where the stem in a tree would be) and secure it with an o-ring ( size 2.5 x 11 mm) to hold everything in place. This is the exact size garden hose couplings like Gardena or Hozelock use. You get them for cheap in every home improvement/DIY store)
