Well, after 4 different quivers, one was even Rage’s own quiver, these turkey x-treme broadheads are so big, the blades always stick out below all of them!! I finally got a quiver that I love with the @hoytbowhunting Carbon Solo Shorty. This thing is paper light, and solid as heck on the bow 👏🏻👏🏻 but, I had to make a “temporary” mod for turkey hunting. I just took some thin packaging plastic and a few 3m command strips, used an old hair dryer and formed the plastic around the curves of the quiver, and boom 💥 a nice little guard for those super sharp blades sticking out 🤘🏻love when you are able to picture something in your head and then bring it to life #nockonnation #nockon #rageinthecage #turkeyseason2019 #diy #makeityourself #diyhunting #schoolofnock (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx9zO_alrxQ/?igshid=135luloh6xrtw

DIY Herringbone Address Sign

If you have been following me on social media, you'll know that my family bought a new house! We all moved out and they decided to buy a home that's double the size of our first family home. I'll admit it, I'm jealous. What I would have done to get that extra bathroom as a kid... Despite being a bit jelly beans of my parents' new living situation, I decided to stop being bitter and give them a cute housewarming gift! I partnered with my awesome friends at HANDy Paint Products to create a custom herringbone address sign for their front porch!

How To Make A Herringbone Address Sign

A trendy address sign can add a ton of curb appeal to any home! Even better, there are tons of options out there that can be customized to your taste. Even better, they can be made on any budget!

Ready to see how I made this address sign?

What You'll Need:

Tools HANDy Craft Cup Miter Saw Pin (or Brad) Nailer Sander & Sanding Discs Drill Foam Brush Safety Goggles Speed Square Measuring Tape

Materials (1) 1 x 8 x 6' Board (2) 1 x 2 x 6' Board Modern House Numbers Outdoor Wood Finish 1" Pin (or Brad) Nails Wood Glue Picture Hangers

The Steps:

1. Cut your 1 x 8 board into your desired size. My parents' home only has three numbers, so I cut mine to 16" long.

2. Cut your 1 x 2 boards into a billion 5" pieces (okay, maybe not a billion, but you'll get 30+ out of your boards). I used a stop block to help make sure every piece was the same size (and to also get the job done in less than 6 hours).

3. Once all of your pieces are cut, sand everything down.

4. Next, prep all of your pieces for the outdoors by staining the backs, fronts, and sides of all pieces with a waterproof finish.

Because I had SO MANY 5" pieces to stain, I enlisted the help of my HANDy Craft Cup. I poured the desired amount of stain into the cup and then carried it around as I maneuvered around the herringbone pieces. The smaller size of the craft cup and the thumb-thru holder made staining insanely efficient.

5. Once everything was dry, it was time to prep the herringbone pattern by marking the center of the sign and then using my speed square to create two 45 degree markings at the front of the piece.

6. Next, start your herringbone pattern by lining up one 5" piece exactly along the 45 degree marking.

7. Continue this pattern (like so)...

8. Once you are happy with the pattern, begin gluing and nailing each piece to the sign. Just fill in the blanks as you go. We will trim up the design in the next step!

9. Once you're done nailing everything down, go ahead and trim off the excess pieces.

10. Next, use your HANDy Craft Cup to pour a small amount of the same stain you used before and do some touch up work on the exposed wood that is now showing from trimming the sign.

11. Once you are happy with your base design, it's time to add house numbers! Just follow the mounting directions that come with your numbers!

12. Last, attach hangers to the back of your sign!

Now, display that beautiful address sign with pride!

Seriously you guys... curb appeal doesn't have to break the bank. Even better, when it's handmade it comes from the heart!

Want to save this project for the day your kids move away from home and you double the size of your house like my parents did? Make sure to Pin It!

In the meantime, I hope you guys loved this project as much as my parents did! If you choose to create one of your own, please make sure to tag it to #diyhuntress to #diyhunted on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook!

I’m a big proponent for the internet. But somewhere along the way we’ve gotten lost in the essence of free thinking Therefore, we quickly search for the immediate answer to our ( “How to...?” ) question. Rapidly getting through our days to achieve as much as possible. But if you’re not truly doing what you want is there any fulfillment. It’s being talked about more and more. A generational shift that wants the one sentence answer to it all, whatever it is. For me, yes I looked up to DIY a euro mount. But did I keep the tab up or go on a thread to solve my problems. NO. I stuck it out. I assessed what worked and what didn’t and went from their. Your answer to that question you want answered is within YOU! Go solve your problem!
