Hi Guys, I built the lamp post using leftover Cedar from the kitchen build and marine plywood for the flat panels, base and Top. Hope you enjoyed the video. Please share it and check out my instagram for daily project updates and short videos. Thanks! instagram.com/jpartandhome/

[@CristianoGuerra23]

I really enjoy your projects, thank you! Your work is great!
Hello from Brazil!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@vnnyavalos]

Beautiful, I have all those tools, and my dummy self was trying to buy a prebuilt from Amazon. Thanks for the Inspiration!

[@seagnatprepper9613]

I think that is why I like your woodwork so much ...... its all the trim you do to it and the time you take to do it right.good job !!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you

[@MrScrogg]

So glad to see I'm not the only person who keeps tools in a drawer without some kind of organization or foam cut-outs.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

ha : )

[@jimmyjames3220]

Now that's adding a touch of class to your lamp to spruce up your yard wow! Adding this to my build list thanks! Great build Jon!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Cool! thanks Jimmy

[@mynameisHOPKIRK]

A big improvement... a tasteful classic look and once again a job done well.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you

[@StamosTee]

Very beautiful. I really enjoy every video you post. It's like a masterclass on molding techniques for me.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

ha : ) thank you

[@necyhall1352]

You have the skill and talent of a true carpenter. The lamp post came out beautiful.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you Necy

[@coryarnett362]

Great format. Quick. No talking. To the point.

[@seanhaney8748]

I watch all your videos and I love your channel, but I personally never use molding on any of my projects because I have a very minimal aesthetic. Oddly enough, I love your use of it in your projects. I guess it goes to show that while personal taste may vary, the appreciation of great craftsmanship is impossible to deny while viewing your work. Your home is complimented by your work and has a great style and theme to it. Although it is different from mine, it suits you perfectly! I learn an immense amount from watching these and hope to apply some of the techniques to my woodworking and home projects in the future. Wonderful work, Jon!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Very elegant looking, I love all the detail work you put into your builds. I also enjoyed the editing style of this one. Your place is so lovely.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks April!

Sweet job Jon...

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

With all the "None-wood" materials available nowadays I am surprised to see you using wood for this project, but as with all projects the mouldings make them look a thousand dollars. It looks great painted and the paint brings all the parts together.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks John. I used the leftover cedar from the outdoor kitchen build and marine plywood that I had

[@michaelgaudette4934]

Beautiful job.
