I made it from scratch. The paneled base is made from treated pine and  the 
rest of the column is made from 2x yellow pine and the arm support is  made 
from Baltic birch plywood. I ripped down some 2x8 YP, and then ran it  
through the jointer to flatten it, then planned it down to 1". 

I designed it so that it just slips over a standard 4x4 treated post  
anchor it with a few 5/16" coated self drilling screws and  voila a whole new 
look.

I need to research some other materials. I check on 5/4" x 8" PVC and  that 
would cost $110.00 just for two 18' long pieces.  I would  like to start 
offering these, but need to figure out how to make them so I  can make more 
than $2.00 per hour!!

What!  The great noticer  did not notice all the differences?  A blind guy 
could see  them. 
The yellow stick was a good  notice, although I think it is a level….. 
Who are you and what did you  do with Joe? 
I am curious though Gary, did  you actually construct that or did you buy 
it at the local big  box?

Recently  she was talking about needing a new mailbox post, so as penance, 
I stepped  up to the plate.

Attached  are a couple of pictures of the before and the  after.

The only difference I see is a yellow stick laying on the  ground.
