Great video thanks. A 400mm reinforcing bar won't fit into a 50mm+50mm+250mm hole. The 'kick' won't be embedded in concrete as shown - all those graphics and no one picked that up?

Hi,
Great explaining the layout, cuts etc.. The filming was great. You didn't block the camera/job.All the little tips like how to hold the chisel, the precision of the cuts etc were really helpful. Was that a stain, or a clear coat? Nice job, thanks for taking the time to film the job. -
what about a smaller trellis archway?

Skilled tradesman, high quality job.

That looks like untreated wood, how is this supposed to last when it is essentially in contact with the ground?? Is the climate there super dry or something? I would love to try this but pressure treated wood does not have the beautiful light color of the stuff he is using and kind of ruins the look in my opinion. :/

glad I found these videos...I guess our home improvement stores in America never figured out "how to" videos could bring in more customers if we knew more of what and how to do projects ...Thanks!

He appears to not stain it, however when wet it can look as it does at the end.
