    On behalf of first responders everywhere, thank you for putting an easily visible number!! It is so frustrating to try and find a house in a hurry that has no number!!
    That being said, this thing is beautiful!! Great job!!!

      @K9EMT Před 4 lety +2

      Former EMT! I cannot agree with this more. And I love the fact that it's the number one comment on this video. I moved to Alabama for years ago and struggle with my OCD driving by any Street looking for house numbers because you can never tell where they're going to be. No consistency if they're even posted at all. God bless the First Responders in this area lol. They've got to be psychic

  • @andycook5128
    @andycook5128 Před 4 lety

    I've been thinking about making a wood joinery mailbox post like this for my house, but got discouraged after seeing so many in my area that just look old and dilapidated, sagging and droopy. But seeing you make this has definitely inspired me to try it since I know the strength and durability of using traditional joinery like this rather than the ol' faithfulL nails and screws, which I'm sure most people tend towards. Thanks for sharing this!

  • @Ketaset999
    @Ketaset999 Před 5 lety +2

    I made my own version of this to replace an old hose holder in the garden. One thing that you forgot to mention is that you should stick that dowel in a pencil sharpener before trying to pound it trough! I eased the edges initially on mine but it turns out I needed a whole lot more taper than I would have expected for it to make it through the draw-bore.

  • @capti443
    @capti443 Před 5 lety

    Wonderful project showing how a regular guy / gal can get into woodworking at low cost with commonly-available tools. Particularly important was that you showed missteps -such as that you started cutting away material on the curved piece, found it wasn’t working out, then tried a couple of other methods before finding one that did work for you. The minor things like the pull saw binding was also important to show that even an experienced woodworker isn’t perfect, but the end product came out really beautifully. Bravo!!

  • @bradymcphail9690
    @bradymcphail9690 Před 5 lety +1

    Love it Chris! I saw a mailbox setup the other day that rotated/ swiveled around from the street to the yard so the owners didnt have to walk into the busy street or walk a long fence line in order to grab their mail. I thought that was a pretty good idea too...

  • @WolfRidgeWoodworking

    I personally think you did a great job on this. I love your channel and believe in what you are doing. No problem with sponsors and you are lucky to have Lowe's. I go there several times weekly in what I do. The only thing you might add is to be sure and call for line location of utilities before digging. In Texas that is a big time foul.

  • @scottss213
    @scottss213 Před 5 lety +1

    Nice i need to make one also mine is rotting out. I went to my mother in-law and doing many fix it jobs with just hand tools reminds me of the old days when doing finish carpentry with good hand tools a yankee and hand miter saw wow that was over 40 some years ago. Anyway well done
