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.
Very nice to see the woodworking skils and uniqueness of
it
Excellent built
A work of art mate! Job well done!
Thats a nice piece of wood Sir! I just Installed my new mailbox because someone ran into it. I would like to point out that my old one was almost rotten at the base so this new one, I installed 4" worth of gravel in a 12"x29" hole for water drainage, poured 200lbs worth of concrete 3/4 up the hole and then another 50lbs for the rest while I used a 8" quickcrete cardboard form and brought the concrete 6" above ground level so that any rain/water will not touch the base of the wooden pole. FYI I would not recommend the Fence and Pole Fast setting cement, The Red Bags, just use regular concrete and let it cure over night. That Fence Cement will cure to quickly and get bridle.
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 simple, clean, and awesome! Used this for inspiration on my mailbox build!
Super job and a fine looking post indeed!
Absolutely beautiful.
Looks awesome. Always love seeing what joinery you bust out next.
Thanks so much bud
Strongly recommend getting Chris' plans. I just finished mine. Turned out BEAUTIFUL!
You are a straight beast. I literally get happy when I realize that you have a new video out. Please keep them coming. One of my favorite channels
Shane, thanks so much for the awesome message man. I really appreciate it!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman you're welcome. I just began this journey, have bought some hand tools, as I want to start with a foundation of basic knowledge, without machines. Your channel is my favorite for choice of projects, hand tools or machines. I love looking for que's on how to do something by watching your vids. Thanks man.
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Wow. It was requested by Third Coast Craftsman Thank U soooooooo much. I love IT OMG! YAY! XD
Would love to see a shop tour! Love all projects on your channel! Thanks for being a great teacher.
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!
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 :)
Buddy, you have the best ideas. It's a beautiful project.
Awesome outcome!
Great video. I love that you used affordable hand tools to make such fine joinery.
Thanks man!
Got to say that is a fine looking mailbox
Great way to get started in timber framing. Great project man. Also loved the way you turned a sponsored post into something that is more in line with what I think your channel is all about.
Cheers man.
Thanks man. Definitely nice blending projects like this
Nice to see good joinery being done with cheap tools! Well done mate!
Thanks bud!
Nice job on that mail box! Like the landscaping as well! Added some nice flair to it!
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!
What an awesome job man.
Just planted mine. Your project rocks. Instead of the locking pin I used two 1/2 dowels glued through the post. Awesome plans, thanks!
This is unbelievingly beautiful.
Wow that's beautiful
Thank you! 😊
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!!
Now you’ve done it, I have to replace mine now. Great job Chris
Haha. You’ll be happy if you do
looks gorgeous! I really like the finish that the sprayer and spar urethane gave the post.
Yea it came out great
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.
Beautiful job. Love to see things done by hand. The craftsmanship alone is worth watching and the end product is first class. The only problem I see is the Minwax Spar Urethane, down here is south Louisiana it just does not hold up. Loved it.
Appreciate you making the plans for us, man did that turn out beautiful!
Thanks man. I appreciate that!
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
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
Looks great! Nice work! 🙏😊
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👍😊
That came out great.
Awesome build! I hope Mr Plow is a fan of your RUclips channel and doesn't give this mailbox the thumbs down.
Nice mailbox. I like this mailbox. You know these numbers almost add up to eighteen.
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!!!
This is great! I'd be interested in a comparison between some of the... cost-effective tools vs high-end tools? I know sometimes the $20 tool is just as good or nearly just as good as a $200 tool so it would be interesting to see a video comparing some them.
Hi Jase, I have been using handrools for about 6 years now, I have bought some cheap tools including the kobalt brand, and I also have a few high end.. the main difference I have found is the materials used and the time needed to get them set up initially, the low end take more time, especially the blades.. they usually will take an hour or two to set up to get optimal results.. the high end usually require a quick hone and your gtg.. hope it helps on your tool choice.
The cedar is beautiful!
Very sharp!
Beautiful mailbox post! It looked really fun to build too (except for those long rip cuts).
Awesome work. I swear I could smell the cedar through my phone whiling watching this.
Oh yea the cedar smells so good!
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!
Nicely done! Timber framing projects are incredibly rewarding!
So true
Looks awesome!
Beautiful
Great project video!
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.
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
Beautiful piece. Another well made video as well.
Thank you!
Nice job my friend gave me lots of ideas been trying to replace mine for quite a while now thank you
Wow, good looking mail box post. Great video!!
Thanks man!
You are definitely committed to the craft. Wonderful work. Very inspiring
Beautiful mailbox, Chris! I really like some of the methods you used.
Thanks bud! It was a fun little build
That’s great. I need to do that this fall. I was recently thinking Norm did something a long time ago on the New Yankee Workshop. I like your design though and I think I will pick it up!
More impeccable work, as always. Caprice and good taste.
Thank you!
Super simple, but so beautiful. Way to go! Encouraging to see it all made from what is readily available at Lowe's too. Best.
Awesome build
Looks like a fun project! This could really be useful to hone some basic skills.
Thanks for sharing!
Looks great Chris. Great job.
Beautiful project!
This is way beyond my skill set but I loved watching it. Maybe I’ll try something like this. Ever thought of making a woodworking course? I bet a lot of people would buy it.
Great video showing that you can buy the hand tools at Lowe's and build a nice project.👌
Thanks bud!
Dude that's an awesome project! Thanks for sharing.
I live your work Chris, you are such an inspiration. I wish I had more time to do more projects.
Thanks so much man
Subscribed 2 days ago, now it looks more than justified. Amazing channel
Haha. Thanks!
Great project! Inspired me to make a timberframed bird feeder
Awesome! Share some pics when you are done!
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 RUclips channel just for that reason. - Ed
Well done.
Nice job Chris - here in the UK it's mainly letter box in the street door - great video.
Amazing work, great beginner/ home improvement project, love it.
Thank you!
Looks great. I live in West Michigan. I lost two mailbox posts this year to snowplows. You should do a nice cedar snow blocker video as a second part.
Haha. Luckily I have a curb and haven’t had an issues with plows. But that would royally piss me off
Super project; this turned out really well. Thanks for sharing your skill and ideas. Best wishes
My pleasure bud!
Chris, awesome video, as always!! 😁📽📫👍
Awesome job Chris! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks bud
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.
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
Very nice work!
Amazing build man as always
Thanks man!
Great design!
Fantastic job sir.
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!
Looks great and thank you for using hand tools!
Just a heads up: Menards has 4x4 cedar posts in the storage barn behind the store, but be sure you pick out your own boards. They tried to load up my truck with the knottiest, most twisted board they had on the rack.
Your attention to detail is one of the reasons you are in my top 5 woodworkers to go to when I need help with something. Plus Utz is really cute!! The thru-mortises and the tusk are what will make your post stand out from others in the neighborhood. I've been putting off making my new post but, now I have some inspiration thanks to you ;>) Those tools sure are sharp looking. What is your impression of them, such as holding an edge? PS: As a former mail carrier, thank you for following the height and distance regulations for a mailbox installation. People don't realize or don't care about where a box goes. I had a new customer who put their mailbox 5' from the curb and wondered why she was not getting delivery. I had given her a packet I made up for new customers of publications with instructions on installing a mailbox along with a list of our services and regulations when I first saw her moving in. Lol, glad that's behind me now!
Thanks so much for the kind words! The steel on them is ok. Definitely not as good as high end or the way they use to make em.
That came out absolutely amazing Chris. Well Done. Really want to do this myself.
You definitely should bill!
Lovely looking timber frame mailbox Chris! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
That looks awesome. Great job.
