Hey, I know this video is 6 months old, it's exactly what I was looking You did a great job on this!! I have a cement block wall planter in front of my house. All the houses were built here in the 1950's and when the planters were cemented all of therm were (so called) finished with the mortar squeezed out & left to dry. If you look directly at the front of my house the planter looks like a column supporting the post. Recently, I told my husband I wanted to make it have a craftsman shape & he said he didn't know if it could be done. We may have a little engineering issue with supporting the roof correctly. Several years ago I borrowed an air chisel and took off the dried oozing mortar. I am going to show my husband your video.The transformation was great! Thanks for sharing your video

I want to build three of these for my home but I have never attempted something like this. I was surprised to see how a Tracksaw work, now with that I think I can pull this off with a good video that shows how to cut the angle on the sides and even the base. I will be doing brick since the face of my front porch is brick. I figured it would cost me $1200 per post to pay to have it done, so if I have to buy a track saw kit a router and a biscuit joiner, I can still come out ahead. Those angles is what I need to learn for the tapered wrap.

Sweet. I'm going to try this. Thanks!

man that was a lot of work. im wondering what would be faster, routing or just adding similar trim design. Also ive seen this done with just trim nails and glue as its just decorative. have you seen those fail? i hate screw holes

[johnforeman]

You can work for me doing the same! You make it seem so easy...years of skill!

Nice job. Why did the customer want oak if it’s going to get painted???

[JeffLifeInReview]

You get a subscribe as it was quality work

That looks so much like the homes in Taylor, Texas or at least Central Texas somewhere. Where was this neighborhood, if I may ask? I love the beautiful job you did on that column!

[johnnycarranza]

Nice job.

Where did you buy that makita circular saw?

[yupitsme]

Nice man. Looks really good. Lets hope they didnt paint it. All it needed was some poly and it would be perfect

[AfricanSouthernCross]

I just loved all that fing dust....good job though but think of the neighbourhood man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[jtltet]

I think I need a dust mask just to watch on youtube.
