Woodturning Levitating, Floating Christmas Tree
For the convenience of some people, this video is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook. Where best to View? Right here already!
For this project, I am borrowing from the realm of 3D printing. I found a 3D printed ghost on Thingiverse. It is a fun, little ghost that levitates or floats on a pair of small magnets. In the woodturning Christmas world, the ghost becomes a tree on a hillside ready for Christmas. It still floats or levitates on magnets. I had to be careful of the weight.
The base is a slab of plum with the bark edge. The bottom trunk is a small dowel. The mid trunk is a larger dowel. The tree is more plum burl. The magnets are 8mm diameter by 3mm thick source from Amazon.
Gluing the magnets with the correct polarity requires a trick that I explain in the video. Without the trick, the magnets will flip over and attract rather than repel each other.
I will add this ornament to the Christmas Ornament Challenge. Hurry, the challenge closes November 30. See www.OrnamentChallenge.com
Enjoy!
