Simple carved sign

Yes Doug I can see why the method you used for that project is a little more difficult being that you have to brace it until it's planted in the ground.

Doug here's one I did using a similar method to yours. Only I sandwiched the tabs between (2) 2"x4"'s and covered with pvc sleeves. Then bolted all the way through the pvc post, into the 2x4's with the tab in the middle. It made for a super strong attachment method. This method was a lot more work however.

I've done similar mounts with a strip of 1" x 1/8" stainless steel instead of the routed piece in the first post.
