- I recently replaced my antique front porch columns/posts with some 4X4s, but they were just too plain and boring and did the opposite for curb appeal. Here's is a short and simple tutorial on building your own unique column wraps, top to bottom.

Thank you so much for this! We needed ideas for our porch posts and are copying what you did! So excited to see the final result!
I would never usually watch this kind of video but for some reason I found it very interesting! good job Sam, can't wait for more x
Came out really nice, I'm looking into covering two tall post at main entrance of the house and found your video being one of the most simple but makes a big difference at the end. I most likely will use your idea.
Great job. I'm getting my posts redone next week. Those trim details make all the difference!
I admire those columns every time I see the outside of your house! :)
PlayingMan Sam, you are so smart and crafty! The columns look great. They really improve the appeal of your porch. So excited for the railing! You are really creative.
YAAAAASSSSSSS. I LOOOOOVE ITTT!!!
Can't wait to see what you have planned for the house!
Thanks for your video. I've been researching on how to do this but you've given me some ideas on the style I'd like. Great job!
great job Sam on the wood work verry nice keep up the good work God bless you.
Thanx man......this is the only vid I could find that showed exactly what material to use to encase the the 4x4
I'm about to do this very project with 4x6's -glad to see this!
That looks beautiful! Really awesome job!!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND NIA'S AND YOUR VLOG CHANNEL!!!
It was really interesting to see how you made these! Great job!
Awesome job.... thank you for this! I am planning on covering over my metal railing with something similar. This was extremely helpful!
You did a great job Sam!
I finally found your channel Sam! Will show it to Dad! 😋
You are a good guy, something tells me that ! ...It looks great my friend., keep the good work!
Love it!!! I'm gonna do exactly what you did! Thank you for sharing ❤
Nice. Love to see them finished and painted.
I was holding out for a "don't forget we love you, and remember to love each other" haha! Congrats on the new channel Sam, your handiwork looks great!
Awesome and beautiful job, Thanks for the video.
Really liked this video! You should definitely do more of these because they are awesome!
Well, your efforts are really outstanding . Tnx . I learnt alot .
Good job Sam :) keep it up loving your new channel as well as Sam and Nia 😋😋👌🏼
“Nailed” it bro! Nice video, nice work!
Excellent video, thanks for great information!
Nice job, building a new pergola, and was going to wrap it half way up, will use this video and I like the L Trim.
thats what i need to build , it would look great on our porch. great idea.
I like your videos so much sam👍🏼👍🏼
You made the besst DIY tutorial I have sen of any videos on youtube. Quick, easy to follow, and with you sharing your ideas it helps me decide what I want to do to make it my own. So why only one video for you channel? The music is also catchy, please make more videos!!
You gave me some great ideas, thanks!
great work keep it coming very creative..
Outstanding. U gave
Me an idea for leftover wood 😃
That's looks amazing!
Looks superb !
Looks good. This helped.I'll be replacing mine soon .
Just subscribed. The porch is looking great.
Hi Sam! The columns are looking great! I think you should leave the top part of the post blank.. No
L-trim. I think it would really accent the lower half once the railing is built! Either way, amazing job!
im a little late on commenting but just stumbled across your video . i just bought a new compound mitre saw and am having the same issue only on 45 cuts. it seems it is just a bit out of square and is an easy fix thanks to you tube lol. search for how to square a compound mitre saw. now mine is cutting straight every time.also cut slow sometimes cutting fast will cause the blade to get off a bit or flex.awesome job on the posts man.
Having troubles with my new saw and was hoping someone answered. Searching now.
sweet thanks for making a new channel!!!!!
That turned out kickass brother, great idea, and very nice work. Just the kinda idea I was looking for. tonight ..hope you dont mind i f I copy it.
amazing job!!
Watching in 2018 amazing to see how it looks now and then
Found it! Perfect.
Love the columns.... Would you mind sharing all of the measurements of all of the cuts?
Good job man!
Great video!
Really good job
I am sooooo happy I found you I flow Sam and nia and it took me 2 hours to find you
Very nice job
Great video man! I want to do a similar column with my deck in the back yard. How is it holding up to moisture and all? I'm debating on using a plastic or treated wood.
nice i like it! i will do the same i only have one to do! i also have the railling to do! post more videos its very nice work! Thank you! 🤗
Hi great job! Just curious what did you use to secure the base of the post to the concrete? And also to secure the top of the post to the roof?
what type of wood did you use to wrap the column with? I used a treated 4x4 for the column like you.
Nice video you gave me ideas. I have to replace all 4 beams I found out that the wood resting on concrete acts like a wick and water sucks up into the columns so I will be raising mine on galvanized base because I will get carpenter ants fast
Great video, gotta purchase a miter saw..mount it on the of my pick up truck and cut away.. Thanks
i like the video - I'm in the process of buying a home that has 4 decorative iron columns on the front porch and to me they look old so I want to wrap them like this but also do a stacked stone treatment around the lower section for a much nicer look. Also on the left side of the house is a carport supported by wood 4X4 beams that I'd like to do this to as well which I think would make the home so awesome. I was just wondering if anyone has wrapped iron columns before instead of removing them? They are very sturdy even though the home is like 87 years old.
Quick question!! Are you using treated wood to wrap this with? I am wanting to do this but am unsure about what to use. Thanks!
Nice job!
Nice job. Does the molding overlap the slab 1/2 inch?
Love you sam
How are your 4x4 posts attached at the top and bottom? Thanks.
dude...thats so sick.......gave me some ideas...
What kind of glue are you applying onto the wood?
Great job what type lumber you used for the wrap
PlayingMan, excellent job man! You are a true craftsman! Where did you get that top Chair Rail at the cap? I'm looking everywhere for it but can't find it anywhere. I live in N. California.
Hey Sam,
Great Video! Thanks :-)
I've taken a quick look at a few of the comments below & would tend to agree with those who said the molding, is parts, slightly, but only slightly warped/bowed.
That aside, even if the trim was perfectly straight it's been my personal experience a blade with 60-80 teeth set closer together + have one of the 2 following 'Tooth Configuration': "Alternate Top Bevel (ATB)" OR "High Alternate Top Bevel (Hi-ATB)" will yield a straight & finer with little to no chipping Vs. the blade I see you're using in the video. Slowing down the speed you pull on your handle(I.e.: cut slower will help too.)
At least that's been my experience, but don't take my word for it, do a google search you're sure to find many a page, video, etc. braking down which blade is best for the job. :-)

Feel free to let me know what you think & I'm always open to other persons opinions, so feel free to share yours with me..
Thanks...
If you plan on painting The Columns you should have Prime the ends of the boards
Please tell me what the name of the power air nailer tool is that you use. awesome video
Great job.
Hi. May I ask you what kind of wood did you use?
Did u finish those posts? If so, you hv another vid? Thx man. Good job
Do you paint everything after? What’s the finished product look like?
Cool! I've always wanted to see a channel like this. Subd. - John
Nice column... But I can't see how you fixed it to roof and floor..Any tips?
The reason your cuts are crooked on the trim pieces is because the molding is moving when you are cutting it. You must secure the molding with some kind of clamp before cutting with miter saw. Anyway still looks great. Hope this helps
That is so cool but it's been 6 years now, so how is the trim ?
I'm so glad that your doing this ! TH-cam is the best for expressing your passions :) I love woodworking and I'm so excited to see what videos you will be making! When do you usually upload? Or is it just whenever
I don't have a schedule at all yet. I'll just upload as I have time to do projects. I appreciate your interest.
I completely understand :) keep up the good work ! And be careful in the workshop 😉
PlayingMan/sam I love ur fam why doesn't abrem have a youtube channel
Can you do a follow up video? Did you paint?
I know this is for guys but I couldn't help but watch!! Love this Sam! Xoxo
Mlloi
Do you have any photos of your finish post ?
What do you do for work
dude, please post more DIY videos!!!
How is it holding up?
good idea!
Great work ☠️👍☠️
good work
I CAN'T FIND THE CORRECT MUSIC RENDITION. I've been trying for 5 years now.
The music made this even more interesting
It's been 4 years now. How's that interior trim holding up to the elements?
If it was caulked and painted the answer would be pretty well. Houses used to be all wood you know. 😂 There are wood details on houses two hundred years old.
Check to see if your blade is square with the fence and square with the table. The blade has to be off to cut your material at an angle like that. Also, it looked like you caulked the bottom where you installed the PVC. Any water that flows down in the boot molding will get trapped and sit there. It could fill all the way up that bottom 1” if it rained hard.
Looks good, always use caulk. Never wood filler.
Where is your next video? I would love to see what is next!
I love this job! What is the purpose of the spacers? (1:04) Couldn't you attach the 1 by's right to the 4x4 post directly?
I wondered about that..
The elements are out of proportion. golden triangle - 1 to 1.66. or study elements from houses of the era where trim detailing was an art. No el corner moldings, they ruin the look and say "my joinery is off". Love your energy
Are pressure treated moldings available? I bring my self to use anything outdoors non pressure treated .
*can't bring myself
The material you're cutting should be held down tightly. your mitre saw isn't cutting straight because the blade is pulling the material in the direction the teeth are facing. Great job otherwise!
Hard to hear you over the music. The columns
However are really beautiful
sam after seeing this i was trying to get my dad to let me redo the porch but he said it was to much to get in to right now :(
Need to cut the molding upside down like if u were installing crown molding. Fine tweaking adjustments won’t hurt either
