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!!!
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
Not an emt but I delivered pizza when I was in college and it was very frustrating to find a house.
This is unbelievingly beautiful.
Nice job my friend gave me lots of ideas been trying to replace mine for quite a while now thank you
Great video Chris! Awesome how you incorporated using tools that anyone can go get at their local big box store. The post came out amazing!
Thanks for teaching us how to do the joinery. I know I'll put to use the relief cuts to make curved lines. Your mailbox looks great.
Nice job Chris 👍I used to work at a red cedar yard making western red cedar siding.. love the cedar.. make sure you crimp those hooks so no one takes your sign👍😊
Love this project. Great job, looks fantastic!
Looks like a fun project! This could really be useful to hone some basic skills.
Thanks for sharing!
Dude, you’re the man!! My wife and I just bought a house and I need to replace the mailbox. Totally gonna use your idea.
Nice job on that mail box! Like the landscaping as well! Added some nice flair to it!
Looks simple, clean, and awesome! Used this for inspiration on my mailbox build!
What an awesome job man.
I've watched almost all of your videos in the past 5 or 6 days. Your abilities make me feel deficient as a man. Good job! Can't wait to see more videos!!!
Mais um trabalho impecável, como sempre. Capricho e bom gosto
Great job love watching you work such a great inspiration
Lovely looking timber frame mailbox Chris! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
Looks great and thank you for using hand tools!
Great project video!
Super simple, but so beautiful. Way to go! Encouraging to see it all made from what is readily available at Lowe's too. Best.
Very sharp!
The cedar is beautiful!
Looks great! Nice work! 🙏😊
I rly like hand work, that is the right way to expose your talent and dedication and everything else... You are really good craftsman, good job!
Super job and a fine looking post indeed!
Absolutely beautiful.
A work of art mate! Job well done!
Just planted mine. Your project rocks. Instead of the locking pin I used two 1/2 dowels glued through the post. Awesome plans, thanks!
Awesome outcome!
You are definitely committed to the craft. Wonderful work. Very inspiring
Beautiful project!
This thing turned out beautiful brother. Really impressed it was made from what Lowe’s had to offer as well. Great video and even sicker watch!!
Looks great Chris. Great job.
Amazing work, great beginner/ home improvement project, love it.
Thank you!
Looks awesome. Always love seeing what joinery you bust out next.
Thanks so much bud
Beautiful
Strongly recommend getting Chris' plans. I just finished mine. Turned out BEAUTIFUL!
That looks awesome. Great job.
Buddy, you have the best ideas. It's a beautiful project.
Going to try to do this exact thing myself for the new house my wife and I just bought! Thank you!
Good luck with your new home. Congratulations.
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!
Great Job. Thanks for sharing.
PERFECT TIMING!!!! Moved into our house about 3 months ago and I’m afraid just the right gust of wind will take our garbage mailbox down. Just bought the plans, cannot wait to start this project!
Beautiful build, love the use of hand tools. Another great example of how amazing creations are brought to life through a little hard work, ingenuity and the basic tools...and a drill..😉
Haha thanks so much bud!
Great video. I love that you used affordable hand tools to make such fine joinery.
Thanks man!
Would love to see a shop tour! Love all projects on your channel! Thanks for being a great teacher.
Awesome build
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.
Fantastic job sir.
Well done.
Great job, thank you.
Great design!
I live your work Chris, you are such an inspiration. I wish I had more time to do more projects.
Thanks so much man
Excellent built
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!!
Thanks so much! I’m glad those things came across in the video
Great Craftsmanship and thanks for mentioning the postal regulations for height and distance from road. I just replaced mine and people need to know that.
Wow that's beautiful
Thank you! 😊
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...
That is really clever
What a great project Chris! I like that you showed that you don't need expensive tools to make a great project. I started my CZcams channel just for that reason. - Ed
Looks awesome!! 👍🏻
Dude that's an awesome project! Thanks for sharing.
looks gorgeous! I really like the finish that the sprayer and spar urethane gave the post.
Yea it came out great
Awesome build! I hope Mr Plow is a fan of your CZcams channel and doesn't give this mailbox the thumbs down.
That came out great.
Looks awesome!
Got to say that is a fine looking mailbox
Very nice work!
Great job, well done to you..
i work at lowe’s and i love this
Beautiful mailbox post! It looked really fun to build too (except for those long rip cuts).
I already have all those tools except for the hand saw look very practical so I need one and yeah I was thinking about renew my old county mailbox
I like this design I will make it
Now you’ve done it, I have to replace mine now. Great job Chris
Haha. You’ll be happy if you do
Appreciate you making the plans for us, man did that turn out beautiful!
Thanks man. I appreciate that!
Awesome loved it
That was fantastic, you make it look easy.
Wow! What an amazing project. I was not expecting that when I started the video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks a bunch man. Glad you liked it
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.
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
I’ve been waiting for this one! Super cool project and something easily doable in a weekend. Looking forward to giving this one a go. Thanks for the awesome content, as always.
Appreciate the kind words and support man!
Such a great Job!
This is some beautiful craftsmanship. I am from and live Texas but I have lived in Traverse City Mi for about 3 years. I just purchased your plans for this mailbox. I hope to make it a beautiful addition for my home.
It was a very good idea to show the possible ideas to remove the waste and then a good, more efficient method that someone may thought of after the fact.
Sign of a good and conscious teacher.
Thank you for that :)
Looks great 👍
Super project; this turned out really well. Thanks for sharing your skill and ideas. Best wishes
My pleasure bud!
Beautiful piece. Another well made video as well.
Thank you!
More impeccable work, as always. Caprice and good taste.
Thank you!
Chris, awesome video, as always!! 😁📽📫👍
Great work
Nicely done! Timber framing projects are incredibly rewarding!
So true
Good job dude!
Looks amazing Chris, that Wagner spray gun made a beautiful finish.
Awesome job Chris! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks bud
You are a true craftsman! That came out great and it looks like you'll have a helper in the near future!
Yea he’s the third Coast toddler right now
I really like your projects and your presentation. I've learned so much from you, thanks for doing this. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the comment and watching!
I dig it.
beautiful work👍👍👍
great job...got to make one
I love everything about this video! The mailbox is beautiful but I love the educational component. There are so many “tool snobs” out there and you’ve proven you don’t need Lie Neilson to do quality work. Well done!
Thanks so much. Practice is what makes a good Craftsman not the tools :)
Wow. It was requested by Third Coast Craftsman Thank U soooooooo much. I love IT OMG! YAY! XD
Nice job Chris - here in the UK it's mainly letter box in the street door - great video.
Awesome
