Title: An amazing display
Post by: jnealand on January 10, 2010,

Found this display which turns out to be from my home town in Illinois.  Great sequencing and an amazing spiral tree.

check all the other videos and be sure to see one from last year with an animated 25 ft snowman.

I think that tree is slightly taller than 20 ft, I can see I'm going to be a needing a lot of power modifications this year.

Not sure of the policy of posting from other sites... folks being petty... but interesting read if you ignore the I thought of it first nonsense. Seems to be agreement that this is the best implementation of this concept.

I ran across his videos the other day.  Great timing I must say as I had already drawn up my plans for the year with the theme being related to all spiral trees.  Now I have a better idea of how to implement the concept and what to expect.  I'll have 13 homemade spiral trees this year, with my mega tree being replaced with something similar to Scott's tree.

After reading webbers post and site, the twisty tree was kind of an accident.

  I wonder if you could make your current M-Tree with major slack in lights and twist the base......
 As long as top doesn't spin, why wouldn't it work?

 Granted, this is coming from a guy who has never built his own M-tree....but I have done the twist :-*
