I'll be 62 in April '23 and I believe because of your videos I'm about to take a completely new path. Thank you for all you do on this channel. You are a very inspiring young man.

I've just recently started doing woodwork, have never really been artistic until 2020. I had to have brain surgery due to a birth defect, and after I woke up in recovery, literally in my hospital room, started thinking of things to make with pallet wood. I stayed watching YouTube videos, looking up pictures on Google for ideas and screenshooting hundreds of pictures. I was an LPN working in a nursing home before surgery, and due to some new side effects of the procedure, I can't go back to work. This has become my way of therapy dealing with stress and overwhelming depression and anxiety. I've watched many, many of your videos and now I think I have the confidence to start a small business to help my husband whose only income is his disability check. We lost my dad's house that we had lived in with him for 18+ years in November after my surgery, and had to move into a camper in our daughter's back yard, so that makes it very hard to accumulate enough materials to really do much of anything, but now I have a glimmer of hope. Thank you so much for your videos, your warm and kind personality, and your inspiration!!!

Thank you for the excellent instructional video. I have made 2 so far. The first is 7' the second one is 8' tall. The base of the 8' ended up being 33" at the base, so I had to assemble it outside as the doors would not let it through the door. I wish I could post a picture. It would be nice to see everyone else's version. 😎

This would look good with Christmas lights on it, in the yard for Christmas.

I have just completed two of these for our shade garden. I needed height, so I didn't shorten the 8' 2X2s and added an extra "rib" of 30"X30", 12" from the ground. I also didn't want the decorative top and instead used copper fence post caps. These are both stunning and will provide great support for two vines I had previously planted. Thanks for the easy-to-follow video.

I’ve watch about 20 videos on, How to make a Obelisk, and this one is the best. Thank you.

[zeesworld]

Thank you for a great tutorial. Listing that cut angles was awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[lisacatlin]

Thanks for sharing how to make this trellis! Like @lawnytoons5042, I’ve been on a new path as a 60 year old 4-16-24. Your videos are great and your voice is soothing. I like your Grunt Style shirt, too. I’m a monthly t-shirt member myself!

[timsmith]

Absolutely awesome lesson!
I absolutely love timber …. and I wish I could be a 40 yrs younger, son of yours for a day.
…. Way to go brother! … you’re admirable, as cool as and I wish you all the luck in the world. …. 👌

I have been watching many videos on how to make this style obelisk. This is the nicest, best quality piece and the directions are great. More complex for someone with lesser skills, but something to aspire too. Very very nice job!

[dianarutecki]

Adorable. Well done how easy is your teaching method. Well done you are a teacher indeed.

[jeremypickering]

Super easy to follow. Great video. I nailed it on my first try! Impressed the neighbors and, most importantly, the wife!

[suzannehofer]

I guess the original instructions that I was watching had one by two so that’s what I bought to go around the trellis. This is gonna be interesting.

Thanks for this video! We just delivered 24 to a local nursery!!!! It was a lot of work, they requested them painted; half white, half black in 6 & 7 foot sizes. Used primer and good exterior semi-gloss, sprayed on. We've painted darker colors before and the primer really is does help with coverage, that said we had to go over spots with brush and roller. We putty and paint over the deck screws, but I'm thinking that maybe using a deck screw the color of the obelisk (if available) may be perfectly fine...and then just dab a bit of paint in the hole to cover the raw wood? We had built about 14 prior to this order, certainly no experts but we learned and developed a system to produce. One of the challenges is, these things are big and you need a spot to build as well as store! Oh and then deliver them...not like you can just toss them in the back of the truck!

I've been wood working for over 25 years and so appreciate your videos! I've been binge watching them and am highly impressed as to how simple you make these projects look, not only that but you're clear explanation is so very easy to follow! I thank you so very much for sharing your experience and ideas!

[victoriacharlesworth]

This is by far the easiest of all videos making these obelisks. Love it! Thanks so much for sharing. God bless 😊✝️

[gillianwilliams]

I’ve watch about 20 videos on, how to make an Obeliski, and this is the bast. Thank you
