    This is the best by far the easiest to build with the least expensive and great materials, and best of all raised from the ground which is what I need. I will use your method to also build longer ones and the one you have showcased for my porch, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Hi to your very lucky wife😁🤟 Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.

    Thanks for allowing us to see how to make such a nice planter box. I just finished making a 2 feet square planter for my chayote plant. I have to say it was very easy to make with your instructions. I have to admit it came out pretty good. I'm getting ready to make one like yours. I'm an old lady and even I could do it. Thanks a million. Saved me tons of money by doing it myself.

    All good! I see you have a healthy respect for that table saw. All you need to be more comfortable and safe is an out feed table extension. Amazon has them. I got one for myself , and it’s so nice not to have to reach around the backside to catch my cuts. Keep up the great work. I like how you narrate the video. Very pretty box too!

  • @johnattinger7980
    @johnattinger7980 Před 9 lety

    Thanks for a great video! I had to make 3 and each one was quite a bit longer than yours, so I added some internal strengthening strips on the inside between the 3 legs. The pickets that I got were quite rough, and needed quite a bit of sanding. I would suggest using a planer to smooth all sides and surfaces. I also found that I needed to use my clamps to squeeze the side strips together when I was assembling the boxes - once they were cut from the pickets they warped a bit. Overall a great project, but allow plenty of time because glue/stain/varnish has to dry!

    • @FunWithWoodworking
      @FunWithWoodworking  Před 9 lety

      John Attinger I have the best luck with the pickets if I can let them dry out for a few weeks in my garage.

    Bob Dageek Good catch! I didn't even realize that I did that. All the legs are 14" tall. The mite saw is set at 13" to cut the dog ears off the sides of the center legs because it is set at a 45 degree angle.

    Your video production quality as well as your work methods are so competent that it reminds me of what America has lost. People who can actually teach you something. This was nothing but enjoyable. I love the way you kept it going quickly eliminating the dead time when you had to grab something.or wait for something to dry. This is very helpful. It's great to observe skill in action. Thanks

    Just a suggestion. Not sure if it would help later on in life but laying cheese cloth on the bottom inside will prevent any soil from seeping out in time, we do it with our potted plants and coffee filters. Works great with them, figured cheese clothe on a bigger scale

    I made several in different sizes and shapes, great idea to use fence boards. The only thing I did differently was run a cleat around the interior for the bottom boards to rest on; I thought it would be better if the weight of the dirt was holding them down instead of screws holding it up. Thanks for the vid.

    It is a Husky compressor. 5HP - 22 gallons - 6.5 SCFM@40PSI - 5.1 SCFM@90PSI - 125 MAX PSI
    I actually don't know too much about compressors. I won this one in a raffle at a car show about 10 years ago. It sat in the box for 5 years until I bought my house and was able to start using it. It has been reliable so far.

    @FunWithWoodworking  Před 11 lety

    My estimate on actual material cost is about $20 but I had a lot of stuff on hand already. I used 6 fence pickets at $2.05 each. I used a small container of stain that I bought on closeout for a couple of dollars. I had to buy a quart of spar urethane at about $20 but only used a quarter of it. I already had a 1 lb box of 1" screws but I think it was like $7. I also used 1 1/2" deck screws on the bottom but I also already had a 1 lb box at about $10.

    I think this looks great I have been asked to make 3 bug planters like this and wanted some Ideas and I think I will use this as my main inspiration so Thankyou for that I think the only thing I would do is to put cleats on the inside to rest the bottom slats on so you don't see the end grain.
