I couldnt believe it, a planter box created from only 3 fence pickets? Costing only $3 each, these planter boxes have a low production cost of around $10! You can see all over facebook marketplace where people are selling them for $60-$80, but I found mine to sell the best when priced at $30. And many people bought this size box as an add-on. A lot of people either wanted custom boxes. Which, I qouted a selling cost of $10 per $3 fence picket I used.
We have planted many different varieties in these boxes and they are doing great. I do not use a liner; cedar is naturally weather sealed and will not rot, warp, decay or mold. I also did not seal the boxes with any sort of clear coat or paint. Overtime, cedar will turn from its pretty redish brown to grey when exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time.
These are a great foot-in-the-door project for anybody who is looking to begin selling their woodworking projects, or simply taking their woodworking hobby to the next level. Before these planter boxes, I only made furniture and built things for myself, and family (where I only charged them for the materials). These boxes not only helped me to make my first dollar by woodworking, but when posting this video, I have made $1208 profit; and yes, thats factoring in my total materials cost, from buyers in a small town of 3000 people.
Two tips not mentioned in the video:
1) do not take large orders or custom orders without obtaining a deposit. Luckily I had only one person order a taller 25x16x16 box and stop responding to me, his name is Ron Whitaker... Unfortunately I did not take deposits or payment in advance, but these are also not expensive to build.
2) you can use treated boards, cedar is less than a dollar more and better for the plants, unless you use a liner and are going to paint the exterior.
Thanks again for watching, and please please please like this video so it can be suggested to other cool cats like yourselves. Bye for now!! - Jak na to + styl

This is incredible! Please put more out there like this! You have a knack for presenting. You got yourself a subscriber
Woohooo! Glad you like it :) definitely more to come!!
Big props for tracking even the number of nails used. I'm so tired of "$6 planter boxes OMG!!" but then they use $10 in pocket screws alone, and also you have to buy the plans.
🤣🤣 "$6 project, but, buy the $10 plans on my website first" THATS what I hate the most. Glad it frustrates others as well. Lol thanks for the comment buddy :)
Well you don't have to buy the plans... I did some with pocket screws and it was $2.94 for the screws minus the $.40 cents for nails and it's only $2.50 a build and some designs are just stronger with pocket screws ya it adds a little more time and of course time is money but to each is their own
Killer work man!!!! Tik tok led me here. Me and wife are homesteaders and I love how simple cheap but yet nice these are. I’ll be making a few
Thanks for the comment! I made some for the wife as well and they have held up and not lost their color (they are unfinished like in the video)
:)
@@WhosTheVoss thanks for sharing and allowing us to help others while making some $. how long do they last without being sealed/stained? if you wanted to paint or seal or stain, what would you suggest?
Criminally undersubscribed. Unbelievably well made video.
Thanks buddy!! Glad you liked it :)
Great video son. Reassuring me our faith in our youth. One critique, use a push stick on the table saw. I have many friends that can only count to nine.
Thanks! Push sticks are in the next video :)
Great Video! I came from Tik Tok!
Wellll, a warm welcome to my little CZcams world! :)
Same here!
Same 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Same
Same!
Maybe do a video on making a plywood push stick. You're fingers are pretty close to the blade pushing the thin strips through.
👍
I thought the same. Yikes. :(
My experience has been that if you are pushing a narrow piece through the blade you are actually putting pressure against the fence. If you finger slips it will move towards the fence, not the blade. I do use a push stick for short pieces that are not long enough to reach the riving knife before the cut is complete. Still have all my fingers after 30 years of woodworking and carpentry.
Oh my gosh 😳. My knees are still shaking after watching it.
seriously
Thanks, I screwed up the first one and found success with the next two. Now here's the best part of the story I only had 9 pickits as this is my first time, I finished the two succfull at about 1:30 this afternoon and put them in the front yard with a 30.00 sign on them at about 3:45 as I cutting the lawn a lady pulls up and bought both of them and wants 2 more for her cottage. I got the pickets on sale for 1.75 each so 21.00 invested and sold for 120.00, I an still in disbelief. Thank you very much!!!!
Heck yeah brother! Now you have Planter Box fever! :) great job
I just made this and the scraps made perfect little “handles” so it doesn’t have to be lifted by the mitered top lip. Works great and looks great. Thanks dude.
Nice! Thanks buddy
Love the video. You should use the scraps. Cut 4 small glue blocks for the bottom. Put them in the corner of the legs on the underside with a little glue. Strengthening everything up including the bottom
Oooo! Ill have to give it a try! Thanks!
That's exactly what I was thinking too
You’ll be at more than 80 nails now!
This is the most simple way I have seen this explained and assembled. Kick ass man!
Ahhhh thank you, thank you very much! ;)
The glue application to the top of the box was so satisfying to watch. Great video man!
Thanks 🤣🤣 glad you enjoyed it!!
I loooooove the authenticity in the video in yourself , this video is worth so much more views and likes based on how you do this as a friend and not to just market yourself.
RICHARD! Thanks buddy!! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I use scraps like the dog ears to stable a small shelf to the bottom of the box, then the floor sits on those. This avoids nailing into the endgrain anywhere and the floor nails are all on the inside.
Great use of scrap! :)
Thank you for sharing! You’re a true gem ❤️
Awww! Glad you liked it!! :D
Very nice. Thank you for the shop tour and the information. You made it look so easy!
Thanks! Glad you like it! :)
Great work! But, please use a push stick at the table saw. No matter how careful you are, you have to promote safe work practices to others.
Push sticks are in the upcoming video :) thanks buddy!!
Thank you for the video and I really like your presentation style. Clear, concise and without all the unnecessary fluff. Thanks also for the free plans. I don't have cedar fence pickets in my area (South Florida). So, I'll have to make mine with pressure treated fence pickets or pallet wood. Keep the how-to videos coming.
Thanks!! Treated works as well :) glad you enjoyed the video! :D
Great job, young man! Thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU for watching!!
Thank you for sharing this! Love these and love how you explained how to fix a wobble! ❤❤
Thanks!! :)
Great plan and super easy to follow video. The wife wanted 2. I have made about 10 more just because it was a fun project. Hope to see more from you!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
As an update I finally made my first planter box!! I made a small mistake and ended up putting the bottom on the top and had to pull out the brad nails. 😅I got a bit rushed, but I hid the damage on the outside from me having to drill some shallow holes to remove the brad nails by adding trim on the outside facings.
It still looks beautiful regardless! I'm getting lots of friends asking for one now lmao. Thanks for the awesome video I could follow and the cutting plan included!
Ohh noo!!! But you could cover up the mistake soo not a loss whatsoever :) great job! Thanks for watching!
Nice planters!!
Thanks!! :D
You're the man voss! So easy, simple, and efficient with a fantastic resulting product, and thank you for the free cut list!
Thanks buddy!!
Awesome video man. Love the tips along the way. Definitely making these with my teenage son. Hopefully it becomes a nice side gig for him, if anything itll be a good bonding project.
Awesome! So glad to hear it :) you guys have fun!!
Love the plans, love your little dad jokes! But please, use a push stick with the table saw!
I got a push stick ;) thanks buddy
Mental block on actual hearing of necessary advice. ZINGGGGG**#@!! !.!__ ,_(then it's too late...) Here we have a smart person with a glaring blind spot. Engineering has a saying, "you can make something foolproof. But you cannot make it damned foolproof".
Great idea. Thanks for the tips and the video. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for dropping a comment! Glad you like it :)
Thank you for what you are doing. I really enjoy the videos and can't wait for your next one.
Next one is the trio set, Im suuuuper behind schedule. Lol but its close to being uploaded, hopefully this Wednesday
Saw you on tiktok. Built my first one just last night. I messed up a little but it works and I’m excited to put my plant in it. Thank you very much!!!! Also love your energy
Thanks! First projects are like the first pancake or the oldest child; a few notches above throw away. Lol, jk. I betit looks great!
@@WhosTheVoss hahahahhaa yea it’s my trophy one. Putting in front of the house and adding my oregano plant to it!!!
Great looking planters. Please get yourself a push stick for that table saw. Your fingers will thank you.
Ive had my eye on one that has a handle and a longer front. I feel more comfortable with the tablesaw wind under my fingernails than I do when using the stock push sticks with the little lip cutouts. :P
Your videos, work ethic, organizational skills, and presentation style are impressive. Thanks for all the good information.
😊Voss is our family’s last name, too. We are from Oklahoma by way of Arkansas, with a great great grandmother surviving the Cherokee Trail of Tears.
Another Voss?! Thanks for the comment buddy :)
What a fantastic little project! Well done. Thank you for sharing
Thank YOU for watching :)
Love the video. I’m in the process of replacing my fence, which was blown down Wednesday night with some powerful thunderstorms here in Houston. I think I’m going to use the pickets and make some of these boxes!
Sorry to hear about the fence, but also, turn thess boxes into a little side hustle and it'll pay for the new fence ;)
I made one of these yesterday. It worked out great. When I put it on the driveway to show my wife, my neighbor yelled from across the street "Are you taking orders?". So that is encouraging, should I decide to sell them. Also, I added 3/4"x1" cleats to the inside of one of the sides to support the bottom panels which fit loosely. Thanks again for the video.
I like the cleat idea! I got good practice when I started making them because the wife kept my first 4 boxes :P Glad yours turned out lookin good!!
Great Job. Simple, easy, and cost efficient. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!! :D
This is so great, thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy!
A word of caution - watching at around 3.10, you use your right hand to push the board through. Do NOT do this! Get into the habit of using a push stick. If you don't then you can almost guarantee that one day the blade and your hand will meet. When that happens, it does not end well for your hand. I speak from experience !
My newest video has mack one of my favoritd push stick, I want to make it cooler, but, its a start! :) Thanks buddy
You are so right! I almost peed my pants and it wasn't even my hand. A push stick and NO long sleeve shirt.
My anxiety was going through the roof seeing you use your fingers to push the boards all the way through the tablesaw. My shop teacher always taught us to use a scrap piece of wood, and it’s stuck with me all through my adult life.
The video Im recording currently, includes push sticks ;) no need to lose any sleep! :) Thanks for the concern buddy
I had to come a long way into the comments to find someone who shared my anxiety! Kept looking at the pusher on the other side of the fence and remembering how thankful I was to have used a pusher every time I had a kickback on "clear" wood. Nice project and well made video otherwise!
Hello from Pattaya/Thailand . Great Job and thanks 🙏
Sweet! Welcome to my channel :)
This was excellent!!
You're excellent!! Thanks :)
Where do you sell these and do you have any tips? I’m on summer break and need something to do as this looks cool and why not make some money while on break! Thanks!
I only listed them on Marketplace, but it was late spring/early summer. Theres still plenty of people just starting their gardens though. I made a trio set that sold very well, so did these planters in the video :) good luck!!
Love your videos!! I've watched a few now and have been cranking out planters locally the last 2 weeks now. You're walk through is perfect, very much so looking forward to seeing what else you post. 😀
Thanks! Happy building :)
Great video man, it inspired me to start building. I started building them just 4 days ago and we have sold 17 already and more are coming. I’ve always wanted to start wood working so thank you for the push.
Anytime buddy! Great job on that hustle!

I just came across your video. What a fantastic one it is! I appreciate your putting it out there and offering the cut list and instructions for free! I'm headed out tomorrow morning to pickup some cedar pickets. Can't wait to get started! My wife just mentioned she's glad to see me get excited to actually DO SOMETHING after I retired last year. lol
😂😂 dont let her see the other planters in my free plan planter playlist! Youll have a few of each!
That was an awesome straightforward, but very detailed video. Thank you!!
Thanks Kelly! :)
One of the best dyi projects I’ve seen. Your use of every piece of the board is awesome. No wasted wood, love it.
You presented the instructions very well. I’m excited to build these for me and for a side hustle. I’m subscribing for more videos. Fine job, Keep it up!

Might dive in to wood working with this. Im sure its harder than it looks, but your teaching has made me confident enough to try.
