Home Depot sells 6x6 post caps for about $15 each. I can make them for nothing from the project's scrap lumber, saving us over $100. My manager wants to know how long will it take to make them.
Don't worry about it, I answer.
You can't buy pressure-treated molding from the store, so I cut my own trim pieces with my router. Is this an efficient use of time? Yes, it just takes a while. Go have some coffee and let me work.
The pieces can be wiggly, so I tape them together first then nail them to the bottom of the caps.
Jam takes a look and decides it was a good idea after all (and apparently it was even his idea). It's tough being the project manager.
Here are the caps roughly assembled.
Next: draw-boring the mortise and tenon joints of the handrails.
