JeffF Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Jeffrey, the 8' trees have a 6' base and have 16-3 mm steel cables so does the 13' tree. The cables are hooked to 20" rebar with turnbuckles. The 8' trees have 16 strings of 50 ct multi lights wrapped 1 1/2 times. The 13' tree has 16 strings of 70 ct blue and 16 strings of 70 ct green wrapped in different directions 1 1/2 times. The KEY to a good spiral tree is to keep the cables TIGHT , if you don't the tree will start to collapse when you put the lights on it. BTW the 13" tree has a base of 10'.EarleAwesome information there! Hope you don't mind if I copy it to the letter. I'm not very creative but I can copy pretty well... just ask *every* teacher I've ever had. Thanks Earle!

EARLE W. TALLEY Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I hope everyone knows that the video in post #1 was taken at the start of 2011(Dec.), there were several things that were out of sync and to me didn't look right. Any of the sequences that I send out have been corrected and/or improved since the video was taken.Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griswald Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Oh wow.........that's sweet! I want one now, but guess I'll have to wait until my display next year.

sterns28 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Earle, I was very impressed with all of your song selections, crisp detail in synchronizing and design layout. I realize its only 1 day before October but with all of the yearly activities (coaching my son sports teams, playing my own sport leagues, work, yard chores, ...) I have not even begun my Halloween display preps. I was thinking of adding a layer of spiral lights to my 20' Mega Tree since I was unsure what I could do quickly as an addition and believe you have convinced me. Thanks for all of your deligent work for us to enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jptaz Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Earle, your trees are fantastic! I'm trying to do my first spiral tree this year also. (10ft) Just finished making and welding my stand and getting all the parts and lights. Now it's time to add the tree sequencing to my sequences. Any chance I could get a sample sequence to get me started? And how do you visually test your sequence? Did you draw a spiral tree in LOR animation viewer?
