Hey Steve,
This is the project I just put a second coat of hand rubbed poly on, I poured that poly directly on my BMW and started applying it to the pot and finished with another coat to my BMW. In 10 years I'll have a really shiny BMW...haha.
To determine the number of pieces take 360 / angle / 2 so 360 / 12 / 2 = 15
You can also find the angle by 360 / pieces / 2 so
360 / 14 / 2 = 12.86
360 / 15 / 2 =12
360 / 16 / 2 =11.25
You can see that for less than 1 degree either way will add or subtract an extra piece.
About the angle. A full circle is 360 degrees.
Each stick have 2 sides. If you want 16 sticks the angle of cut must therefor be
360 / 2 / 16 = 11.25 degrees
15 sticks
360 / 2 / 15 = 12 degrees
14 sticks
360 / 2 / 14 = 12.85 degrees
The glue gives you a little play in the angles.
Similarly, if you accurately set the cut for 12 degrees, the pot will take exactly 15 slices. The width of the slices affects the overall size of the pot but not the number of slices needed. Simple yet elegant project - thank you.
TY. I was stumped as to how that angle stuff happened. I knew it had nothing to do with the width of the boards but I was only considering 14 edges rather than 28.
@@ToonOfLancing : If you use an odd number with two colors, you'll get two of the same color next to each other at the end. 14 is fine but the correct angle is closer to 13 than 12 degrees (12,86 to be precise). However, if you make the angle a bit smaller than necessary, you'll get gaps in the inside. If you do the other way around, you get gaps in the outside. So from this point of view, 12 is still better than 13, but maybe 12,5 can be set roughly on the table saw. I don't think it is possible to set 12,86 precisely.
There's going to be Happy Moms all over the world next week! Great vid as always!
Looking forward to watch your planter design tomorrow. ;-)
Great Mothers Day project Steve, love the purple gloves.
Good one Steve! Using the tape as a way to wrap the pieces up is super simple, but genius!
"I'm sure if you just cut extra pieces you'll be fine" Greatest logic i have ever heard!
I love it.
The difference between engineer's and technician's (or hobbyist) one of them know how to calculate the other knows how to work . You can do anything without using a single number in your project and still get a end product.
Wonderful Project, thanks for sharing Steve.
Hi Steve. I have been a fan and watching wwmm for years. I lojve going back and watching your older shows. You are a genius. Awesome job steve. I hope with enough practice I hope to get to a fraction of your level. Thank you Steve. 😀
Thank you Steve for another entertaining video. I'm a big fan here in West Georgia (USA) and I work at a big box home improvement store. I suggest your videos for anyone who is looking to start simple woodworking plans.
As far as mixing cups goes, I save the hops from our laundry bottles or any other "cap" that has any sort of gradations.
Good Journey

Nice simple project, Steve! You do a good job giving us ALL ideas as possible projects. Sure, you could always upload bigger and harder projects but not everyone is interested in complex jobs or even have the possibility to do a complex build. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Carmen we love the cross bow! Thank you too Steve.
This project will be a chalenge for my jig saw. An amazing gift for mother's day. Thanks for sharing and to Microjig for sponsoring the show.
I really want to try that epoxy finish now, I make all these vases but never seem to water-proof them! Cheers Steve.
Thanks Steve, that was a great project. I have seen a lot of your videos and have used your tips and tricks to assist me in my projects. Thanks
hose clamps is brilliant. Wouldnt have thought about using them!
This is a great project for my first table saw. Just bought it today, first one I have ever owned.
I love it Steve! I really like the different colors you used too. Spring is here so all of these cool projects are sure making me want to make them all!
Thank you Steve for everything you share with us, for the joy you put in everything and for the smiles you give to all of us every week!
Hope that a lot of other people will share my opinion on a certain kind of "unpolite" comments.....

Awesome project idea. This would be great for Mother's Day.
Thanks, Steve, nice little project. Tried it and it was easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for a great channel.
Nice springtime Mothers Day project. Angle cuts are not best thing but this might be something to experiment with. I really like the hose clamps, great idea.
I recently found your youtube channel and am going through your old videos for inspiration and entertainment. love your way of presentation with a great sense of humour!
you probably figured it out by now: the sum of the angle is always 180 degree to go all the way round.
dividing that by the angle you choose, you get the number of corners/sides. with 12 degree it should have been 15 pieces.
The smaller the angle the deviation gets more significant (in this example multiplied by 15).
starting to pick up woodworking myself after about 20 years of abstinence when I lived in apartments with no room for a shop. Last year I had my own house built and set up a garden hut 3x3.8m which I will equip as soon as it is no longer freezing cold *shudder*
Unique flower! Good job 👍
I enjoyed this simple yet elegant project, one I think the kids would enjoy, thanks for sharing
All the best
Rob
Nice project. I needed an idea for mothers day too! I do like these small projects because I always have too many small pieces in the scrap bin.
That's a great project Steve, thanks for sharing.
like the pots and the clampe, I would never of thought ot that, and thats why I love the woodwork site like yours.
The way I use to calculate degrees is dividing 360 / number of sides. Tha always gives me the exact degree to use in each piece (considering all pieces the same size). Great video. Thank you, Steve.
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR LOS SUBTITULOS¡¡¡¡, excelente vídeo, saludos desde Chile ¡¡¡¡
Very nice !! I like . Do keep in mind proper drainage prevents root rot
Obrigado por compartilhar mais uma idéia simples Steve. Thanks for sharing one more simple and useful idea.
That's a nice idea, thank you Steve!
They look fab!!! A 12° miter should mean 15 sections (which will look wrong) Needs an angle of 12.857° for the 14 sections, but who cares. Can't wait for the next one.
Only recently found your channel and your woodwork is fantastic!
Great video. Great project TOTALLY RIPE for "tinkering" with eg scale up for planters, have angled staves (tinker with the angles/stave dimensions) and can come up with some great off shoots from this one project. This is something I intend to do. Thanks.
Mr. Steve Ramsey.
I congratulate you on your channel, it's really good, I am writing from chile to thank their work and see if you can create more videos sub titles, so it is much easier to understand his art.
Greetings from Chile, congratulations again.
Simple, but really beautifull. Nice colors :)
That was pretty cool. The tape idea is genius. I think you've done that before if I'm not mistaken. Great project. Thanks Steve
I used my band saw to make all the bevel cuts, then the table saw sled to cut to length.I Used a file to round over the edges.Steve did the same thing HIS way. I think the idea behind the video was missed. Videos like this are to inspire,so that WE all can experiment and have fun feeding from each others ideas. Steve brilliantly turned the basic construction of wooden tankards into another fun project. Most of us are weekend wood workers that are out in our garages and shops to pass the time doing something we all enjoy. Take the instruction and see what YOU can come up with.
Nice project. Thanks for sharing and spanish subtitles.
Good job Steve, Great idea for Mothers Day Cheers Harry
Very cool Steve! I think I might try this one!
i love stuff like that. please more, thanks
Thanks Steve this is a Nice project.
thats awesome! i can super size that for my water tower!!!!!! you a genius!
I stumbled upon your channel by an ad that played while I was watching another youtube video. You seemed pretty interesting, so I checked out your channel... I now want to start woodworking. You mention in one of your videos how woodworkers are great at making boxes, and I found that so funny! This summer, I'd like to build new cabinets with my dad in the kitchen of my parents' home for my mom. You're the inspiration man! Keep up the great video content!
I love video's with good explanations. Bravo. Still valid in 2021
Steve, to be exact the 12°angle should have used 15 pieces to form a circle assuming everything right on the money. the width of the slats would make no difference in number of slats but would give a larger or smaller size with all the slats the same size. i plan on making one of these then turning true round in my lathe.
Thank you for English subtitle!! I am going try this project sometime soon! Smile!
Thanks for the fantastic project videos, I am Brazilian and here in Brazil we do not have good references in carpentry, I'm learning a lot from your videos ...
Very clever with the masking tape. Great tip
I enjoy woodworking. I like to see what others do with small projects. I have made one project I saw do on You Tube keep up the good work.
Great project ! I was looking to make a barrel and I found it was pretty complicated, will do in this way and then sand the top and the bottom to give it a barrel appearance!
Very cool, I have always wanted to do a wood tankard and will just move in that direction.
"Barrel Making for Meer Mortals", great video as always and such a neat idea.
Superbe vidéo ramsey
yur the best master ; u have big ideas ..greetings from peru
Nice video. Just remembered a trick I saw in a video from frank howarth. Instead of glueing the full circle he make 2 halfs, sands them flush and glues them together. This way get gets a better circle, even when the bevels are a bit off.
Another great project thanx Steve!!!
Cool project I'm going to make one!
Fantastic job nice and fun!!!
Looks awesome!!!
The math is quite easy, number of slats wanted (strips) say 12 strips divide by 360 degrees gives 30 degrees so each slat will get a 15 degree angle on each side which equals the 30 degrees. To get a bigger diameter just make the slats wider.
This is the process that I use to make bowls etc on my lathe. Cheaper than trying to find large blocks of wood to turn.
can I ask you a question ?. well you answer half of my question already now let's assume the top and the bottom are different widths how can I measure that for example, the top is 24 inches in diameter and the bottom is 14 the angle still be the same 15 degrees? for the slats strips) ?.
Really nice!
Espectacular! Genio total
Love your edits. Keep them coming.
Awesome!! I might try using ceder.
amazing work
My daughter says, THAT WAS COOL! They love watching woodworking videos with me. Yours especially. The hose clamp idea was clever. How quickly did the epoxy set up?
excellent and beautiful too!
Awesome Steve!
Very innovative project Steve, I'm with Carl........love the purple gloves ;)
Cheers
Mike
I like the clamping technique.
You got me into woodworking. thank you
Very Nice 👍
Nice one Steve
Parabens!!!! Otimo trabalho...abraços
NICE project. I just watched your "rainstick" vid. This looks like a custom piece and yet there is a possibility I can even do it.
your are awesome steve
Great video Steve. One thought about using hose clamps, try using a nut driver. You will have less chance of slipping and marring your work piece
another great video project, thx
Pretty damned nifty. I like the way you think. It strikes me that those are very similar to crocks sold everywhere for kitchen tools and accessories except they are way better looking.
Awesome pots! I'm going to make one now! I think the epoxy is a little overkill when it comes to the waterproofing. Should probably drill holes in the bottom for draining too. I love the looks of these planters, though!
I seen all the published videos and I congratulate you on this noble work. It should not be easy. I would like to see, if possible, the assembly of a robotic arm wood, with many fingers better. Congratulations again, a hug.
Sorry for my English, I only speak Spanish
Perfecto, buenos videos y trabajos, y mejor aun por los subtitulos en español.
Thanks Steve
Nice job
Nice, Steve! Thanks a lot for the spanish subtitles.
***** Do you speak spanish?I understand english but you talks so fast sometimes and i lose some details.
Nice work Steve
Would love to see you make a fish tank cabinet as I really want to make one but don't know where to begin :(
Nice project!
What a cute project! The only thing I would do differently would be to add a small hole for water drainage.
thank you for sharing...
Great project :) maybe you should drill some drainage holes though
***** A 12 degree bevel should have yielded 15 pieces (360 deg / (12 deg * 2) = 15), so given slight variation in the blade angle (and the necessity for an even number of pieces for this projects), both the 14 and 16 piece versions make sense!
Love the project. Wanted to know if you could link the epoxy you used in your description? I can't seem to find something similar at my local big box. I know any epoxy will work but just wanted to get more details on what you used. Thanks for all the hard work. Love your channel.
Very cool!
i justwatched the miter saw and agree fully i have an old black & decker radial it is a dangerous saw so have to use caution combined with my table saw it saves a lot of changes to the tablesaw i enjoy both
Great project and one could use your scrap wood to do some of these as well. Great! Thanks !
Chris
That's resin! :) I use that all the time :D I don't apply it to woodworking though but will file that information away for the future.
