  • PLANS are now on my website www.almfab.com/store/p/outdoo...
    In this video I build a custom planter bench with a two tear raised bed in the back.
    I have been thinking about this project for three years now, and when some friends tore out their deck, and asked if I wanted the cedar, I knew I could finally build it! The total footprint of the piece is 12' x 7'. The bench itself is 9' long. Plenty of room for my friends when I host BBQs.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments bellow. I do my best to answer all of them.
    Thanks for watching!
    Michael

    Dude, that was cool watching it slowly come together from the ground up! I'm used to seeing things get built in different pieces, this was like watching a life-size Lego set being built.

      Thanks Shaun! Yeah, I was huge fan of Lincoln logs when i was a kid, and it totally felt like that while I was building it. Love these outdoor builds, they are super quick because the joinery is so simple.
      I saw you posted a chess board build. I’ll looking forward to watching it when I get home! ✌️

    Very nice Michael. I did a two tiered planters on both sides of stairs for my nephew. I told him to fill up the bottoms of the planters with plastic water bottles or any plastic bottle. You do not need to fill the whole planter with dirt as the roots will undulate around the bottles. Keep up the good work.

      I bought a Sawmill 3 yrs ago and have never made a piece of anything yet. I live in South East Kansas and we have alot of red cedar here. I think I'll try it with some of that. My logs are all Urban cuts or I drag the out of the wood dump. I like that you use recycled wood when you can. Makes a difference I think.

    • @MichaelAlm
      @MichaelAlm  Před 6 lety +1

      sureshot311 yeah! It’s pretty simple. You use the kerf of the saw blade to correct minor inaccuracies in the miter. As you cut the slot material gets removed from both sides of the miter until they are both even. You have to cut the piece slightly long to do this, and I probably cut the slot three times before the slot lined up. Hope that helps
