My husband's reaction when I show him this as our project for the home we don't own yet?: Excellent
Thanks Sarah!! Feels good to have your husband's approval:)
Ha! Me looking at this video before even closing on my new home.
Absolutely love this project. We’re buying a “flip” house and I want to put these on the front. I’m excited! 😝
Thanks so much! Best of luck with your flip:)
This was surprisingly satisfying to watch! 🔥
You are too kind Maria
Thanks for showing that even professionals make mistakes!
You bet!
The porch looks great.

Thanks Catherine!! I really appreciate your feedback:)

Congrats for your professionalism! A real pro job. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
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.
You are so welcome!
@@GreenmarkBuilders how do I find someone to do this to my home in va is this an contractors job?
Fantasic job. Really looks great!
Glad you like it! Best of luck with your projects:)

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.
Love the positive energy! Work is supposed to be fun!!

Beautiful Job my Friend!
Thank you! Cheers!
Turned out great! Love all the detail.
Thanks Margotta! You made my day
Oh my what is great job you are doing. Smart and handsome men.
great video. I came for the tutorial but also appreciated the overall presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Great work. Love this channel!
Thanks Sam
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👌
Thanks Kristen!! I appreciate your support. I do everything Josh tells me too lol
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 👍
Good job great idea bro
Didn’t think I’d stick around for twenty minutes. But dude nice attention to detail.
Thanks!
Wow. very nice job I have to do the same to my front porch posts
You should!
YOOOOOOOO these were fun!
Oh yeah they were!! Thanks for hanging out all weekend Josh!!
two things your nailbags say you have put in your time to be a pro 2nd your hands say you don't work in the field 40 plus hours a week anymore.started my own thing and put in more hours than ever before.everyone wants me to start a channel .a camera and computer are tools i have never mastered .i bust a phone 5 -6 times a year .nice to see great carpenter work on the little breaks i get. maybe when i retire i can set up camera thing in the shop.. untill then brother spin them blades but keep all ten !
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.
Thought this would help Robert with wrapping porch post...Judy
Fabulous x
Thanks Christine!!
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.
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!!
Wow thanks Heather!! It has been fun connecting with you on RUclips. It's always fun seeing you in Josh's firesides:)
@@GreenmarkBuilders Awww Thank You Mark. :) Ps. You build the most epic and Awesome bon fires- keep them coming, lol.. pps. Next year I am so travelling to Ottawa to camp out in that epic treehouse and to visit you and your family too of course. :)
Love it. Exactly what I want. The gutter is on their way. kkkk
Nice🤝
I think you might be my husband! 😂 😍👍🏽🤩🔥Lol love your work
lol. Thanks
Woah what a great video! ❤ I love watching things like this!
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey I know those guys! I have no idea what’s happening but it’s soothing af!
Thanks Caspar!!
Sweet
Good
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Rebekah:)
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! 😅
Good vid, but the amount of nails & screws 🤯
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
I think Geoff was talking about his Stihl blower:). (Geoff is absolutely obsessed with his man toys lol)
Bagus sekali
thanks
Very nice job! I like the corner edges you did, nice touch and easier than doing 45s. Are the corners treated wood?
Thanks for your feedback. Yes the corners are the accoya wood as well. We stained the corners the same as the rest of the post.
Doing this project, great video! Question: @YouBuildCreative how wide are the top "caps" of posts? Not sure how to rip the 1x6
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...
thanks for your kind words. Yes we had our boards cut to exactly 8". You can go narrower if you like. We were only maxing out our material
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!!
We did a custom colour. Most of the time we use a minwax stain with a polyurethane exterior grade semi gloss finish.
How did you make the corner trim pieces (L)? Thanks and awesome work
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
the posts were 5x5. Now sitting around 8x8.
Never thought of boxing them instead of replacing. How would you know if the original post is starting to rot or something??
Check along the base if your posts are soft. Also look for black at the bottom of the post
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 👍🏼
I use the rule of 3rds. Top base is 2/3 the height as the top. Whatever height you use, try this rule. I always stand back and look after tacking on a couple pieces first. Best of luck with your project!
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?
I had the corners cut at the shop before when we picked up the wood. You can see the corners get ripped in the video. This all can be done on an on site table saw.
Any concern for rot where it meets the concrete?
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
I'm not picky with glue. Exterior use waterproof wood glue will work.
Gorgeous color and amazing results. You are perfectionist.could you please add the name of the wood. Thanks.
Thanks, the wood is Accoya wood
@@GreenmarkBuilders Thank You! I will look for it.
Awesome job!! Was the min wax stain name?
Minwax is the name of the company. I forget the name of the colour, the customer provided the stain for us.
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.
You can use the pre made corners from a box store for sure. I personally find the edges are softened (rounded off) a little more than I like. I prefer making my own but I totally understand why you are going the route you are.
@@GreenmarkBuilders I'm not sure I've got the equipment to do it. How exactly do you rip the pieces? Router?
Damn what finish is that
This is a Minwax stain with an exterior grade semi-gloss clear polyurethane, sanding between coats.
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??
What dimensions did you rip for the corner pieces in other words?
I started with rough lumber and cut everything down. The finish dimension of the corners need to be square so adjustments will need to be made
What type of wood did you use?
Thanks
Accoya Wood
Where did you get the Accoya wood? I can’t find any Accoya close to me..I’ve called a ton of places. Thank!
We have a supplier in our area. Quarter sawn white oak is an amazing product if you can't get Accoya wood.
I live in the Northeast region and I’m having the same issue of finding a lumber yard for Accoya wood. Like the previous viewer inquired where did you get the Accoya wood? I called some places and they do not know what I’m talking about. So sad. Willing to travel to PA, NJ, CT & NY.
Do you guys service Saint petersburg Florida 😭
Unfortunately no
Cut list please
I just put in the cut list. Sorry for not getting it to you sooner.
Sure those corner rips are only 2x ? Seems thicker
corners are 1.5" x 1.5" cut out of 2x2
I don’t understand how u did the corner pieces can u give more detail please?
@@marionbeacham I believe they took the 1x2x8" board and made 3 cuts leaving roughly 4x2x2". Then cut down to 4x1.5x1.5". In the vid you can see the guys at the shop ripping them for him
First!!! LOLOLOLOL
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.
thanks for the feedback
What size is the corner trim pieces ?
I made them out of 1.5" material, i cut out all but 3/8" when I ripped the inside of the corner out.
Love the project but consider cutting the time of the video.
Thanks for the feedback Stacie
Nice video but scrap the annoying music
Sorry Mark, next time
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.
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
Goudey Gunstock Walnut (Dark Chocolate)
Appreciate the response, Thanks!@@GreenmarkBuilders
