Wow, great question.
I need to paint all sides, this way I can turn the post as I paint it, and leave it to dry without messing up the new paint. At the end, I'll remove the spike, fill hole with painters caulk, and paint over it.

Is that a power tool you're using? A jointer, really????? Why not a rabbet plane? Tony

I have two of those.

Sometimes, I do change up how I do things.

Wrapped the ugly PT post with clear pine.
Post is painted, and the backs of the boards. Nailing them in will allow drainage.

Did I mention copper? I'm sure I did.
This takes me back to my sheet metal days. Making clean crisp holes.

Other than house numbers, this post is done. On to the next segment.

Looking good! I have one of those hole punches, forgot all about that, cool tool when you need one! Punches nice clean holes that a drill would otherwise bugger up.

And driving a nail through it will distort the metal
