today I'm building a mitered modern and waterfall bench. The bench is going to be

18 inches wide when finished.

I wanted to limit the number of boards I

had to glue up so there wouldn't be a lot of seams so I picked out boards that

we're a minimum of 9 inches wide.

once I got the board's home I took some time to

skip plane them to clean them up and get them as flat as I could these boards

are 12 feet long and I kept them the full length during all the milling

operations to ensure that grain would match on the mitered corner

It was a bit of a workout handling all that eight quarter lumber

I placed roller stands on the front and back of the jointer. I set them just a

little bit lower than the table of the jointer. I don't want the wood to

register off the rollers. They're there just in case the long boards get away

from you and I have something to assist in catching them. The one behind their

jointer also gives me a place to rest the heavy boards while I get them in

place. When I set up my shop I set up all the stationary tools so they face the

bay door, this way when I have projects like this I can open the door and have

plenty of room to joint, plane, and rip long boards.

when doing the glue up I use Domino's to help keep the board's aligned

I was also careful with my domino layout to be sure I would not put one where the

legs are going to be mitered.

One of the Domino mortises was a little bit off left to right but I didn't

notice it until after the glue had been spread so there's a little bit more work

to get it together than necessary.

I cut the pieces apart using my track saw to miter the legs. I double-checked I had

the right leg on the right end and laid out for some Domino's. I use the largest

Domino's that would fit and place them pretty close together to be sure I had a

good strong joint. Then I use a little CA glue on some pine blocks to help clamp

the pieces together making sure the miter was being closed tight on both top

and bottom

I use shims under the pieces to help align the legs flush to the top. m It was

basically my third hand while getting everything clamped up.

A light tap with a mallet and chisel was all that was needed to pop the glue

blocks off. Then I just scraped and sanded the excess CA glue away.

Then for the finish I use four coats of wipe on satin poly

Hello everybody, my name is Bryan,

today I will be showing you how to create a decorative wooden mailbox,

but before we begin, here are a couple of quick tips

If at all possible plan before you build,

whether you use a pencil and paper

or my preferred method Google Sketchup,

planning will ultimately save you time and money

Secondly, whenever using power tools always wear the required personal protective equipment.

For this build I will be using hearing, eye, and respiratory protection

Here are the tools I will be using

And here are the materials I will be using

Let's begin,

first carefully measure and mark all of the pieces

I usually mark each piece of wood with its location

and measurements to prevent any confusion

Second, it's time to make the cuts

Take your time and be very careful

Before we go any further

we need to make sure all of the pieces fit together

Next we will sand all of the rough edges

Now we can start assembling the mailbox

Whenever possible use wood glue,

the glue is actually stronger than the wood itself

Here I am using a nail gun

but if you're using a hammer

you will need to clamp the pieces together to dry

It's now time to paint,

be sure and use a good outdoor paint

After the paint has dried

we can affix the hardware and shingles

Well I hoped you enjoyed this quick custom mailbox "how to video",
