How To Make Craftsman Style Tapered Columns 

I just added some L brackets that I milled up to my existing square porch columns, they look great. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow! I am greatly impressed with how your columns look. They turned out magnificent.

Beautiful. It really draws your eye to the front porch. The railings are going to tie it all together. Great job. Using biscuits on your miters with construction adhesive will pay off, your joints will remain closed for years to come. Enjoy watching someone do a job right. Great video.

Love watching the progress of how the house is coming together. Looks great!!

Not only do you make everything look easy but it looks really good, too. You've become the go-to guy for practical solutions presented in a simple manner that even I can grasp. Thanks.

The porch is really looking great, very clever clamping solution for the tapered posts.

John Heisz Great Great video John. All the necessery details, and somehow you still make it look easy. Good job, and I love to see you put the icing on the cake these days on you reno.

Really nice. I grew up in the Pasadena, California area and have a great appreciation for the Craftsman style. Your house really captures it nicely.

I really like the on the site portion of the videos. Really helpful to see the details of construction outside of the shop.

Looks great, John. Excellent work. It's a joy to watch you work and to see the house come together. Thanks --Joe

Great video John, I'm pleased to say I've begun to use an English version of your beloved construction adhesive! And I have to say I'm very pleased with both its strength and ( with practice ) how easy it is to apply. Thanks again!

B...utiful! Watching a real craftsman like yourself is a treat and inspiring!

That really looks great. The accents match the house perfectly. The clamp method was neat - need to put that in the toolbox. Nice work John.

That looks pretty awsom. Wow, and those details in the trim really finish it off. Great job John!

I love the way they look. Good job John.

so good John. wish i was a daily passer-by on the street in front of your house so i could witness the progress on a daily basis. never thought i'd be jealous of other drivers. the house across from mine had those craftsman style columns and I always wondered what the tricks of the trade were for their construction. thanks for revealing it.

House is looking great John. Loving the details you are adding.

Outstanding, really nice John!

Brilliant clamping for an excellent-looking end product. Thanks so much, once again, for sharing your process.

Breaking it down to a series of small tasks... that's craftsmanship! GREAT video!

It's all in the details. Looks GREAT John. Great build - love how you did this, it really is done well. It looks great and throw in the pergola, just really nice. Paint scheme is also very nice. Honestly, one of your best builds when it comes to all the little details and tricks in getting this to come out as well as it did. Scott

Very cool job John

Love how the columns turned out. Can't wait to see what else you'll be doing :-)

Damn! Those look good!!

i really like how those columns turned out! i also really really like the reinforcement that was done. a lot of the rotted material i see just falls off and has no backing to it unlike these fine pieces of work. thanks for some tips to a novice!

Very neat and tidy ..

Very nice work! I like it a lot.
