My days off rotate so I did just build the basic knife warpost today. I wanted to see how that one went first before trying the one with two posts.
It's basic but looks okay. I did use the 25 lb bag of cement I had for it. I agree it's going to be kind of heavy but I used the big metal bucket and cinder block like Hock did in the video and I just don't think a 10 lb bag would have been enough. I don't mean weight but it wouldn't have been enough to hold everything.
I'm letting it dry in the garage overnight. Probably cost about $30. The big feed bucket (or whatever it is) I got from Farm & Fleet for $12.00, the cement was $7.00, cinder block probably $3 or $4 and the fence post I don't remember but probably around $4.00-$6.00.
I cut the fence post down to 6 foot. I don't have a stairway to prop it up against to steady it while it dries, so I put up a ladder next to it and tied to post to it.
I already have most of the material for the double post, so if this one works out I'll probably start the other next week. That's a little more work with tying on arms and such.
