Yeah this was a tough one and I was determined to figure it out! Having the right tools made all the difference.

If you never fail at something how could you truly appreciate the satisfaction of succeeding. The grain in the posts looks amazing. Just perfect!

thanks, was desperately searching for something worth my time!

Those look amazingly sturdy. You sure have developed some mad skills (which probably did drive you mad at times, LOL). Love to you and Jaime! Tell her I send my best. ~Cynthia

It all is coming together soooo well nothing in your new home can never be more beautiful then all of the wonderful wood can you tell I am a great wood lover and I love the work space a body needs room to spread out lol I'm here waiting

"Mountain House loft thing" - that's one way to describe it. I'd call the whole thing, including the build itself, absolutely stunning.

Wow Jeremy you did such a good job on those newel post! for your first time they turned out just beautiful. Jeremy, I think sometimes we have to make mistakes to get it right.

When you messed up, it was still much better than what I would've done hahaha great job!!!

Hoo hoo! New toys are fun and lighten the load. I covet your wood working toys. Lovely posts. Can't wait for them to be installed because those shots of you standing up there with no railing gives me the biggest case of the willies!!! I have a severe fear of heights. So excited that you are preparing for moving day!!

Wish there was a LOVE button because the thumbs up just doesn't do it justice! Awesome job as always❣🎉

Hellooo y'all. . . Wow, Jeremy the Newel post turned out nice. I can't wait to see them completely done, thank you for another video.

Awesome job, Jeremy! My father could build just about anything, and I loved watching him do it. He build the stairs and all the wood work in our house. Watching you brought back so many fond memories! Thank you!

Jeremy - I have long admired your skills, creativity, tenacity and willingness to learn. And your work is ALWAYS beautiful! Thanks for showing this process of yours (and the new shop looks great by the way and that DeWalt...wow). Video was interesting, great humor and it made the final product even better!

Loved this!! It just plain makes sense to have a planer of your going to build a house from scratch!! I wondered if you would. We did it the hard way for so many projects... but I'm glad we learned both ways! It's going to be awesome! Once again excellence!! Thanks Jeremy, hello to Jamie and the girls too. Smiles and blessings...

Niiiiice! Beautiful work, Jeremy! Can't wait to see how they turn out!

You've probably already seen Next Level Carpentry's video " How to Install a Newel Post Without Wobble ". If not, it's worth a look. I almost used that technique to stiffen up an existing sheetrock wrapped half wall. In my case though, I was able to use a 4 x 4 that I attached underneath the floor to a floor joist that was accessible in an unfinished storage room.

Love the woodworking. Don't be too hard on yourself over the multiple attempts. Sometimes I do the same thing. If I didn't, I wouldn't learn all the ways not to do it. Lol

Wow! Beautiful workmanship. Thanks for sharing the entire learning process.

I'm not sure I like the plain square newels. But then again, I like the fancy staircases.

Norm Abram says the most important shop tools are a jointer and a planer because you can’t start to make anything until it’s square. If you want pretty boxes, make the angles just the thinnest hair past 45 degrees, that will make the gap on the inside and not the outside which is the visible part. Great job on the stairs!

Jeremy, no doubt the posts were frustrating….until you got the planner. The right tools make a huge difference. Work shop is looking good and the house is going to be stunning. Each day is closer to final inspection and move in time. 👏👏👏👏👏👏😁

You always do a perfect job. I am so proud of you.

Life is an amazing learning experience all the time 👍🏻

Beautiful and Blessed !!!!!!

18:37 - Tease! 🤣 You know I'm dying to see the fireplace. 🤦‍♀🤗 Those came out so nice! Will you add a topper of any kind or leave flat? Either way looks good to me. I'm just curious as always. 🤣

Nice work! Thank you for sharing us this kind of DIY video. Helps a lot 😊

Jeremy I did the same thing for my balcony and staircase . But I put 4x4 posts anchored to the joists and slipped the newel posts over the 4x4s

Love the looks of the shop area !!!!

pretty sweet cabin lol you've exceeded my skill level but still enjoy your videos thanks keep them coming

Look up on KZread how to build a planer sled. It will let you use your planer as a jointer. When you run a board through the planer, it will maintain any twist in the board. The sled allows you to get rid of the twist.

Great job very proud of all your accomplishments. I would like to add in most countries 42” high on a horizontal railing and 36” on a stair love your videos keep them coming ❤️

The perfectionist does it again!!! Wish I lived close to you I would hire you or beg you to let me learn from you. You wouldn’t mind teaching a 65 year old woman how to be a carpenter would you?? LOL

Hi, I noticed that you have blue masking tape on your glass edges, presumably because you will paint (or stain) the frames in due course. I did the same when I was making alterations and had the problem that the tape would not come off. The manufacturer told me that it happens when the sun is too harsh and cooks the tape adhesive. We live at the latitude of 37 South so the suns rays are very intensive as is the UV rays. I would hope that with all the effort you have put into your house you do not ever get my problem with painters marking tape! Cheers mate. Harera

@@Guildbrookfarm Hi, believe me, I am from the old school and that was my first choice! Lets say it worked on the glass but I had used the tape on a painted surface and could not get it off. As this was a basement window, I just painted over it. The one thing that I learned was that I and a builder could build a house in 13 weeks, and it took a further 40 weeks for me to finish everything else. It’s the sanding in between the painting, vacuuming and cleaning that takes all the time! It’s definitely easier building the sheering shed, deer yards, and the fencing. The finishing work is always harder as my wife can always tell me what I could have done better. Cheers mate. Harera

I've been shopping at Northern since they were Northern Hydraulics. As they began, they were more like Harbor Freight is today, but they've evolved. For your newel posts, realizing it's too late now, you could have used a router bit made specifically for joining boards at 90 Degrees. It tends to lock. them together correcting any misalignment.

Favorite new term....clamping the snot out of it!! Well done and thanks for belly laugh!

Haha- same! I'll definitely be incorporating this into my repertoire!!!

You manage to put out great content while building a house with finesse. Strong work! Two observations here: 10:25 It's the speed of the rollers (how fast the rollers feed the material) that changes, not the RPMs of the cutter head. 11:07 The material removal gauge is the recommended depth of cut for various widths of material. When you stick the wood in the three inches and crank the carriage down, the red arrow will indicate the amount of material that will be removed with the carriage at that height. I haven’t found it to be that useful or accurate. To me, taking 1/8” off a 3” wide board in one pass is a bit much. Some woods are much harder than others, might have knots, the blades might be dulling or other differences. Better to go lighter and increase the amount after you see how the planer takes the wood.

Great work. You should fill the posts with some material (old cloth, cardboard, sand, etc.) so they will sound more solid when you knock on.

Very Nice 👍🏼😊

I guess when you get everything it’s over! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Glad to finally watch one of your videos. It has been awhile. I don't have that sweet planer so I could be wrong but I think you read that gauge wrong. I believe it is telling you what the suggested max cut is per the width of board. What you initially set it to was 1/32 and then backed off to 1/64.

They've done some nice videos on the "big shift". Right now in their life they're building a house. Once done they'll gravitate somewhere back to where they started. I'm afraid there wouldn't be any farm/prepping content available while all their efforts are focused on the house because they aren't doing a lot of that stuff. Kind of like Essential Craftsman. Their house is done and the content of their videos has already changed.

Aloha! 🌺

Oh do those yellow pine boards bring back some memories! While planing boards through the Dewalt, did you hit anything metal? Over the years, I hit a ton of slugs while planing and it's not nice on the blades. haha Looking great Jeremy!

Tape is a pretty standard way to join boxes. Prevents pieces from shifting if you do it right like Jeremy did. A lot of folks use blue or green Frog tape.

I've seen some nice post in Lowe's beautiful red oak, less than 200 bucks I don't know if it might have been easy just to get them?

As usual the 7 Ps' !!!

I know your posts are done, but check out Spencer Lewis's channel, Insider Carpentry. He's an excellent finish carpenter and has some very instructive videos for building mitered box beams. I think he found that using strapping tape works best. Also, Next Level Carpentry channel has an awesome technique for fastening newel posts.

They crack, check and twist pretty badly unless they’ve been properly kiln dried, which can be hard to find in some places. If the post twists with a railing attached then the whole system is wrecked.

I use pine in fencing , gates,cabinets,and screen doors.......just got to reinforce the parts under weight or tension with a core or parallell support P

With all due respect, how do you plan to attach the posts in such a way as to not deflect or even be able to push them over? The IRC (International Residential Code) requires a handrail/guardrail to be able to support a 200 lb point load. I'm just concerned, as both a former trim carpenter and a former Building Inspector that these posts you're fabricating won't support the required load without some serious deflection. Please consult with a local trim carpenter before you trust this system to support your family or guests. Also, the treatment of the corners with the brass is called burnishing. I do enjoy watching you take on all of these things you've never done before and doing the majority of them quite well! Good on ya!

When I permanently fasten and then push over a post, we’ll show what happens and why. Then we’ll fix it.

@@Guildbrookfarm You'll frequently see the box used as finish rather than the structure itself, despite the box being extremely strong under both compression and tension. With the box newel being so long, you get a great deal of leverage at the bottom attachment point when deflecting from the top. Good on you for already recognizing this issue and making plans for resolving it! You've likely seen the posts used for decks that consist of a central metal structure that is attached at the bottom using lags or bolts into the deck structure itself, then the finish 'post' slides over the metal like a sleeve. Maybe you can fashion an attachment system like that?

I'm Dutch. And I can't figure out the meaning for the word "newel". Box I understand, but what does newel means?
