Jon, Thank you so much for the shout out. So glad you like the sign. You did a fantastic job on the post, I love it.

I have the same Yeti and it keeps my coffee hot until it's all gone. Love it. Great video Jon.

kudos for you for taking 20 years to get around to replacing the sign, I now no longer feel bad about taking a year to put drawer pulls on my kitchen

Making this right now, and it looks awesome so far. The only thing that I struggled with was knowing where to use my nail gun and where to screw. Also, not knowing the lengths of the screws or nails. You are the man!

@williamsmith9026 6 лет назад

Nice project and I will likely try and talk my friend out of his golf tee and ball mailbox but, the painting of treated lumber before it is really dried out is always a recipe for disaster no matter what you prime it with. Not to mention the movement as it dries out. I will be doing this with untreated and just waterproofing where it goes into the ground. Im so over pt lumber. Thanks for the free plans and nice work!

@DrAskildsen 8 месяцев назад

What a beautiful signpost! I going to copy that idea and build one here in Norway. I would like to add a little LED spotlight that points down on the sign from inside the pole on the front since we have 6 months of winter and most of the mornings and afternoons are dark hours so people can see it better.

@JonPetersArtHome 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! Great idea 👍

@RobinLewisMakes 6 лет назад

There's something about watching moulding being built up that's so satisfying! How does the flat PVC look against the wood grain? Is it noticeable or does it blend well?

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

@DavidBishopinc 6 лет назад

Thats a great looking post Jon. Im in a HUGE need of a new mailbox post. It looks like you painted the treated lumber while it was still fresh / wet. Is that OK to do, or should it be a little dryer? Thanks.

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

Thanks David, no you should wait a few months but I didn’t want to put an unfinished post in my front yard. I’ll need to hit it with a wire brush in the spring and give it another coat.

@MrSidCharming 2 года назад

Do you have any photos of the finished post? I have ideas I was hoping to see a few different angles of still shots. Thanks (BTW, GREAT JOB!)

@neoanderson7697 4 года назад

@vincebaker3384 6 лет назад

could a miter saw also be used to make the lap joints in the 4x4's?

@rakeshbhansali4907 6 лет назад

John you make it so simple! Just want to know do you actually slowmo your sound when you use your nailer? It’s just soothing like kaaatch... just seems your nailing has a rhythm!

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

Ha ha :) no , but I do turn down the sound a bit. Thanks!

@benjaminrauschenbach6084 6 лет назад

Awesome project man. I’d love to know how many miles of trim you have placed in your career. Those are my favorite things to watch. You make it look so easy. Perfect joints, proportions, reveals, etc. Never gets old watching you do trim!!

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

Thanks Ben! Ha ha :) yeah a lot of miter cuts over the years

@andrewbrown8148 6 лет назад

Jon, nice project~! Wish that our property were big enough to have a name. :-) Obviously your project is completed, but I just saw an interesting product for setting posts called Sika Post Fix. It's an expanding foam product for non-structural applications. I have a few posts to set in my yard and one 33oz package is supposed to replace two 50 lbs bags of concrete. Didn't know if you've heard of it before. Available on Amazon, but cheaper at Home Depot. There are several RU-vid videos demo'ing it. Just FYI...

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

Thanks Andrew, yeah I’ve been looking at that stuff, may check it out

@darrencabrera3957 6 лет назад

Did you get a new camera? Quality on it is real nice not to take away from your work Jon which is also on point.

@Steve-hj6xv 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. I mostly do standard residential carpentry which I bill out hourly. That looked like a day and a half from the initial consultation to actually setting the signpost. Is 450-ish $ plus materials in the ballpark? Thanks to anyone who cares to answer.

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

@Ihaveaboyfriend 3 года назад

Hey Jon! Gotta question for you. Looking now for a good saw and been looking at the one you have here bosch with the special arm. Would yu recommend it? Thanks

@JonPetersArtHome 3 года назад

Hi Peder, I recently replaced it with the Festool Kapex... It’s a very expensive saw but totally worth it ! It’s probably my favorite tool in the shop.

@Ihaveaboyfriend 3 года назад

@@JonPetersArtHome Yeah thats been on my mind aswell but I cant buy it here in sweden only companys can. But the bosch you have in this video, does it have laser, light and does it make straight cuts? Because im really tired to saw costing 600-700$ and its not 90°. Thanks for your quick reply. Love your insta and your youtube channel 😍

@angellas.1314 2 года назад

Beautiful as always! Can I paint treated lumber right away after I finish installing my post?

@JonPetersArtHome 2 года назад

Thanks, you’re not supposed to but I did with this project and it hasn’t been a problem… The treated wood was kind of dry though.

@angellas.1314 2 года назад

@@JonPetersArtHome Ahha. I think mine may also be dry. I was told to wait until it’s greenish dry. Is that correct?

@angellas.1314 2 года назад

@@JonPetersArtHome Appreciate the reply.

@Recovering_Californian 6 лет назад

I made a sign about a year ago out of treated 4x4. Painted it too. The paint didn't last at all. Flaked right off.

@itsdanbooth 6 лет назад

Recovering_Californian you are supposed to wait 6 weeks before painting treated lumber. Also make sure it isn't damp. Ie if it rained within the past few days don't paint

@Recovering_Californian 6 лет назад

Thanks...that was likely my mistake.

@cavemanjoe7972 6 лет назад

Recovering_Californian Probably not the best, but a really easy way to test pressure treated lumber for paint is to splash a little bit of water on it. If it beads up or sits there, it's too wet. If the wood soaks it up, then it'll soak up paint, too. Number of weeks/months or whatever is a bad measurement, because what would take maybe two months here in Georgia at 94-97% humidity might only take a week or two out in Arizona. Lots of factors, so that little test is easier for me, especially when people ask about a time frame for a project and I don't have any wood already drying.👍

@CiceroMonteiro 6 лет назад

I know it’s a very specific question but what’s the rpm on your circular saw? That was very smooth. My circular saw is very brutal, so maybe I should get one like this. Thanks for sharing John.

@JonPetersArtHome 6 лет назад

Not sure of the rpm but I just put a new blade in the saw and man! What a difference

@JamesAmos 6 лет назад

Possibly Dumb Question: Will the air nail and brads rust after a while (and leave stains)? I have an exterior project to build and I had assumed I couldn't use my brad nailer. But I'd love to be wrong!

How to build a mailbox post, the simple way: Step 1: Get a pressure treated 4x4 of appropriate length Step 2: Dig a hole in the ground. Step 3: Put the 4x4 in the hole. Step 4: Put Concrete in the hole. Step 5: Wait for concrete to set up. Step 6: Cuss because the pole is 10 degrees off of being square to the road, and now the concrete is set so it's too late to change it.

@bobdickweed 6 лет назад

How is 1 3/4 half the thickness of a 4 by 4 ?

@bobdickweed 6 лет назад

so why call it "4x4" ?...it seams like the timber company are ripping you off

@ashleyfalcon125 4 года назад

Eye Toldyoosso Mm... but it’s not a “ripoff”. Especially when the actual measurements are posted on the price stickers/signs in stores, lumbar yards, etc., it’s not a secret by any means. Its also really basic common knowledge, even the most green DIYer will know, or learn really quickly if they didn’t plan properly. LOL But no, seriously... most ppl going into a project already know this. It’s mentioned, like A LOT. When you go into everything already feeling like everyone/everything is out to get you, or get over on you in some way... naturally, everything - even simple, harmless & well-intentioned things will somehow seem personal, ill-intentioned & shady. Consider the positives in things instead... it really goes a long way, no matter how you look at it. Just a friendly tip from a stranger on the internet. lol Obviously, you’re 100% free to make/have your own choices/thoughts... but I, personally, feel like we’re never too old to learn something new, and life’s never too short, or too busy ;-) to give it a shot. (Even just a smidge.) 🤗 I hope you have a fantastic year! Happy 2020!!
