This little FARM PROJECT took FOREVER! Barndominium Shop Project!

What happens here

Install the cut cedar trim pieces around the base of the timber posts using a Senco cordless nailer. The presenter lightly roughs up the smooth edges of the trim using a wire brush attached to a drill, to better match the texture of the existing rough-sawn timber. He secures each piece with nails, creating a boxed-in appearance around the post base.

Goal: Attach custom trim pieces to cover metal post bases.
