DIY Modern Planter Box - 3 WAYS - Quick and Easy Project

I made not one but three DIY planter boxes with a modern touch. These are made using cedar fence boards and 2x2 and 2x2 boards. They are quick and easy to assemble and should take 30 minutes each... not counting sanding and staining.

So cute!!!!

[@Anikasdiylife]

thank you!

[@cbplibra1012]

Cute. 1hr and a 1/2 actually = day and a half. Just sanding itself takes 2 hours.

[@Mike-ox3bv]

Thanks for sharing

[@Anikasdiylife]

Thanks for watching!

[@MicheleWilson-eq8yt]

Great love them , good to see you using the tools but sadly I don’t have all the tools 😢

[@Anikasdiylife]

I understand. There are a few basic tools you can start with - a saw, a power drill and a pocket hole jig. You should be able to build all of these with those.

[@maxgonzalez672]

1st time in your channel but not the last one pretty, pretty planters love the different stands for them great job !!!

[@Anikasdiylife]

Thanks and welcome!!

[@tharcisseilunga6658]

Thank you

[@Anikasdiylife]

You're welcome

[@hannahwalther4080]

Thanks for sharing! Do you recommend using treated cedar pickets or untreated?

[@napoliskey]

These are great! BTW, what kind of pencil is that in the corner in the very beginning?

[@John-yt5zr]

How do you cut the 15 degree angle on the top and bottom of the legs on planter boxes #3

[@shelleysarkisian7375]

Can you include a link for the plainer?

[@marniepeters5142]

Why did you mark the boards with a pencil before sanding?

[@mikem2113]

It helps to make sure you are sanding evenly. You scribble across your board, sanding it all off, and repeat as you progress through the sanding grits (100,120, etc)

[@marniepeters5142]

@@mikem2113 great idea! Thank you for the explanation!

[@Anikasdiylife]

Yes, using the scribble helps make sure you get even sanding across the whole board and just the right amount. I have a sanding video that explains a lot more and also the sanding grit sequences. czcams.com/video/k9JLXge8ZyY/video.htmlsi=6UnnD_LQWQ5dEAJY

[@sagguharjit88]

👌👌👌👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯

[@GrumpyOgre-ss6yl]

A little disappointed that everything relies heavily on pocket hole screws and all of the associated jigs and clamps.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Oh well. That’s how I roll. Feel free to use dowels instead.

[@SinSpawn9000]

You need 1 tool to do pocket holes, just the jig that angles your drill properly which costs about $20 or so, all the other clamps and such are optional in my experience.

[@FounderOf4]

Well Grumpy Ogre, at least you chose the right screen name.

[@lisastevens8688]

I have the same Kreg and use it constantly. Looks much better than bulky screws!!!!

[@spy1411]

You can get a used one relatively cheap. That’s what I did.

[@MicheleWilson-eq8yt]

Great love them , good to see you using the tools but sadly I don’t have all the tools 😢

[@Anikasdiylife]

that's okay, you don't have to have ALL THE tools to build pretty things!
