PART TWO: But how did the columns turn out?! Modern Mill is so versatile!

What happens here

Carefully position the finished and cut column into its final place on the structure. Ensure it is plumb and level before securing it. Use a Makita cordless finish nailer to fasten the column to the underlying framing or existing structure. Apply nails strategically along all sides of the column to ensure it is firmly attached and stable. The worker uses a ladder to reach the top sections for thorough fastening.

Goal: Securely attach the completed column to the structure
