Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you so much.❤❤

Thanks for showing that even professionals make mistakes!

I already have square columns, I plan to add the trim pieces, thanks for the detailed video.

Oh my what is great job you are doing. Smart and handsome men.

Dude. Nice work! That’s tight. Thank you. I’m gonna do the same.

Thank you for sharing, you’re an inspiration, your video made me want to go out there and do some works.

great video. I came for the tutorial but also appreciated the overall presentation.

Congrats for your professionalism! A real pro job. 👏👏👏👏👏

Josh was right, it is very relaxing! Love construction, renovation and houses so I guess that's why I really like this video.

You rock! Thnks showing each step in detail.

Love it. Exactly what I want. The gutter is on their way. kkkk

I really enjoyed your video. I have a customer that was looking to update their posts and I was looking for nice trim ideas. I found all that and more. Thanks for the pointers and the pin nailer suggestion.

What I wouldn't give to go back in time and had you as a mentor to oversee my parents house being built. Lol! ^ *Long sentence alert* The house I grew up in was poorly built with so many mistakes. Now 30 years later...it's so bad and far behind that it breaks my heart. I have studied small projects to fix little things. Should've went with what I wanted and studied carpentry in school. Love your first video!!! Good job Josh, you know a winner when you see one♥️👍🤪. Skills on the video and editing Josh👌

Didn’t think I’d stick around for twenty minutes. But dude nice attention to detail.

The porch looks great.

Absolutely love this project. We’re buying a “flip” house and I want to put these on the front. I’m excited! 😝

Lots of detail work. Looks great!

Beautiful Job my Friend!

That Accoya wood is really nice. Question? - How does it hold up to insects and will it cup in the Sun? It looks great because you pay attention to the details. It makes all the difference. Excellent job 👍

Looks great, just watched your video, i guess I'm going to do the same. Quick question. What paint or stain did you use and could you please provide with code color and where you got it. Thanks a lot.

I love the dark chocolate paint finish ! It looks warm and inviting 🤎

Wow. very nice job I have to do the same to my front porch posts

Wow! That came out so beautiful

Hey I know those guys! I have no idea what’s happening but it’s soothing af!

Really nice job, Mark!

I think you might be my husband! 😂 😍👍🏽🤩🔥Lol love your work

Great work. Love this channel!

YOOOOOOOO these were fun!

Good job great idea bro

Looks awesome!

Nice job. We did something similar but used cedar boards and nailed directly to original posts then stained them. Hopefully they hold up to the elements.

Beautiful!

Really well put together! Great job!

Turned out great! Love all the detail.

Fantasic job. Really looks great!

Hi Mark @YouBuildCreative I enjoy watching and listening to you. Your videos are very entertaining, educational fun and informative and until DisasterDetailing and you over here at YouBuildCreative I always found videos like these boring and not my cup of tea, however you have a nack/skill of engaging and drawing your audience in and information sharing all while entertaining us. I love your channel, your video's and watching and listening and learning from you, so thank you so much for this all. :) Multi talented, creative and Amazing builds my friend! :) Beautiful new look of those porch pillars- Awesome!!

Fabulous x

Woah what a great video! ❤ I love watching things like this!

Thought this would help Robert with wrapping porch post...Judy

I enjoyed this video and the posts are very attractive. I had to stop watching because of that horrible music. I hope you didn’t pay for that music. Anyway. Thank you for the detailed work model. An inspiration.

Good

Sweet

Those turned out great! I am about to start my project. And curious what stain and finish u used? I am wanting to do a darker stain like yours and hv tested a few different types of stains but still hv not found the right that I want. But your me is really darn close to what I’m looking for !! Can U give me name of stain? Looks a touch lighter than the ebony stain that I’ve tested. Great work!! Thx for any info!!

I love how men put up a panel of wood against another piece of wood and then proceed to hold it in place with 100 screws and shoot 2000 nails in to make sure that sucker ain’t going nowhere! 😅

Gorgeous color and amazing results. You are perfectionist.could you please add the name of the wood. Thanks.

And everyone wants to know what Geoff was talking about while he was standing in the garage while Mark was applying glue to the wood. haha

How did you make the corner trim pieces (L)? Thanks and awesome work

Good vid, but the amount of nails & screws 🤯

Bagus sekali

Never thought of boxing them instead of replacing. How would you know if the original post is starting to rot or something??

This is so good. I'd like to tackle this - was the trim for the corners bought from the store like that and you just cut it to height?

What a great job! The attention to detail is top notch.. One question.. Is the board width a true 8" since you had them hand cut... I will probably go to Home Depot for mine.. Thanks very much...

what stain did you use? I'm doing some cedar post on a porch as we speak and I really like this color, Thanks in advance

Well Crafted! Did you use glue (tightbond) behind base and caps? I’m assembling custom craftsman style wraps using solid Douglass fir base and caps and wonder about glueing these to 2x pine blocked bases. Thanks for any feedback

Very nice job! I like the corner edges you did, nice touch and easier than doing 45s. Are the corners treated wood?

really nice renovation. my current posts are round and big, I'm not sure is it a good idea to wrap them as you did. Can you share what is the width size of your posts? thank you

Awesome stuff. So the base trim on the bottom looks like the 1x6. The top base trim looks shorter height wise, did you cut the top base to less than the 1x6? If so what height were they cut to? I’m referring to the column base you cut at 45 degrees and nailed over the long corner trim pieces. Thanks again. I’m inspired 👍🏼

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Any concern for rot where it meets the concrete?

Doing this project, great video! Question: @YouBuildCreative how wide are the top "caps" of posts? Not sure how to rip the 1x6

Awesome job!! Was the min wax stain name?

Do you guys service Saint petersburg Florida 😭

Sure those corner rips are only 2x ? Seems thicker

I'm going to attempt this very soon. Home Depot sells the corner pieces, any issues with using those? I'm unsure of how to make them without failing miserably.

Were your corner piece boards actually 2x8 or were they 1 1/2 x 7 1/4 because in order to rip the corner pieces it looks like a 2 x 4 isn't big enough??

Damn what finish is that

What type of wood did you use? Thanks

Where did you get the Accoya wood? I can’t find any Accoya close to me..I’ve called a ton of places. Thank!

Cut list please

Love the project but consider cutting the time of the video.

First!!! LOLOLOLOL

What size is the corner trim pieces ?

Nice video but scrap the annoying music

Using standard wood workers glue on the exterior of a structure is completely wrong and will not last more than a year. This is a major flub by this person.

This was surprisingly satisfying to watch! 🔥
