I remember the other mailbox being made, that was a while ago. I lost you until my wife bought me a tablet and I found you again.

Remember this: I am in shape, round is definitely a shape :-) Joking aside, this looks fantastic. Thanks for all the inspiration you've given us over the years.

Looks good, Tim. When you had it on the lathe it almost looked like you were making a cannon!

I'm glad you posted this! Ha ha!

Enter the octagon. Just when you thought it was safe to enter the octagon there was TIM😊😊😊

That's a beautiful mailbox post. Great job on it!

I have been wanting to see more Turners make their mailbox post. I will get mine done soon.

Very nice the preview pic I thought you were going to have an Airmail box great job and great video

Nice, Tim, especially since I don't even own a lathe. If you're tired from digging, wait until you hit 75. Bill

I will be doing this too , very soon.

From Washington State, although I did spend a few years in Broken Arrow in the 1990's, I have admired your woodturning videos over the years. Tim, you are a natural teacher as well as an ambassador for your craft, and your sense of humor makes it thoroughly enjoyable.

I have always said if you turn like me you better have a good sense of humor!

Very well done Tim. An outstanding piece of work. I bet it's the envy of the neighborhood.🙂🙂

Nice mailbox post. 👍

Thanks!

Very nicely done, Thank you for sharing your video.

After my mailbox was knocked down,I replaced it with a new 12 square inch I beam,steel. It’s still standing after I 30yrs.

Looking good!! I turned a full dimension redwood 4x4 post for my mailbox 34 years ago and I’m sure it’s still there. I’m not but it is.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

A very useful project. I would have sanded less or not at all. It’s cedar and an outdoor project that looks fine as a rustic item. Your design has good flow. Well done.

You almost make me wish I didn't have a secure steel communal mailbox...almost...

I like it with the octagon shape.

But then it would be woodworking😁

Beautiful, and the two part design would be awesome here in Michigan where you can't build your mailposts too strong (mustn't hurt the idiot drivers who run into them!) yet the snow plows MUST knock them over at least once a month!

In the state of Wisconsin.. Your mailbox post MUST shear sheer off if a car hits it , or you could be liable for any injuries to the driver ! ! !

What do you do with all the shavings Tim? Compost?

Oh hey thats a good question. Is composting doable with treated wood like this? Feels like it'd leach all sorts of nasty stuff into the ground

Not sure if it's treated this one, he just said it was kiln dried. But very good point! Gotta look after that earth!

Digging a hole is my 2nd least favorite thing to do. My 1st least favorite is digging out the concrete from an old rotted out post. Hat tip to people who do that every day.

Nice post how long did it take you to turn that in real time not KZread time?

@duallygsd

Total time was about 3 hours. Cutting those edges off really helped.

After doing the math in my head the turning, itself, was about 1 1/2 hours.

Legit curious, how many charges did it take to get through that beam with the electric chainsaw?

@woodturningwithtimyoder

Barely touched the battery. I probably could have made fifty cuts. If it was wet wood even more. It is the Green Works 40 volt with a 4 amp battery.

@@woodturningwithtimyoder nice!

I very much enjoy your videos 🤔 "But" 😲 your shorter format I lose the setup, the problem solving, the planning. So I lost 95 percent of your teaching / instructional value that you have to offer and gain about 50 percent of editing thru time just not as much value of time. You seem that you enjoy what you do as I see it, it is a loss for you as well as a loss to me. Many youtubers make content without sponsors or is this another form of advertising😳 Holding back thumbs up for now.🥴

I wish I could have caught the PBS years, but I enjoy every episode I come across. Did the electric chainsaw bind, or loose charge at any time?

No it was just a little slow. If it had been green wood it would have cut faster. I probably had 50 more cuts in it left.
