Dept 56 Christmas tree display

[kgstakes]

My wife has a lot and I mean a lot of dept 56 buildings and I seen this on a video and so I built one for her so she could display some of her buildings and we also have a O scale Christmas train so I put track on the bottom level.

Just thought I would share

Pretty neat setup. I believe that there are at least 2 others on this forum that do Dept 56 displays.

Department 56's Christmas Village buildings and figurines are the best!

Great display, thank you for sharing it!

I drew it up on sketchup. Here are the plans.
materials:

1 - 4x4x8'
1 - 2x4x8'
1 - 3/4" sheet of plywood (cabinet grade - option).
4 - 3x3 angle brackets
12 - 4x4 angle brackets

Center of circles are cut the same size as the 4x4 ( I made a jig and use a router)
I use a router and a circle jig to make all the circles also.

Painted gloss black
