I built ONE of these, gorgeous... LOVED it so much I built a second... Gave the first one away as a gift and INSTANTLY got commissioned to build 2 more, twice the size, same concept.
MUCH APPRECIATED for the video man!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just made me a few hundred bucks!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THESE!!!!!!!!!!
That is awesome!
The contrast of the wood looks amazing!
you did a FINE job on it, Keep up the good work
Wow! Safety first in everything! And the enormous attention to detail and those clamps are super convenient. Reliable gear and beautiful planter.
Awesome video and great planter. Very helpful! Thorough, but relatively short. Thanks so much.
This is a great design! I like the contrast provided by the top and the edges of the bottom boards.
It's the first one that I had to do any real editing on so I think that counts! Thanks man.
Wow, that looks great!
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.
Thank you. I hope that they turn out well.
Impressive, great job! I'm gonna want to build one for my mother... thanks for sharing ...
Planter looks great!
that is the most beautiful planting box IV seen
Thank you again! I watched last year and now again to refresh my memory. You do great work!
This is man shit right here. I don't know what it is but building shit excites the hell out of me. So much respect for folks who build beauty out of wood (not talking about baby making). LOL
AWESOME, EXCELLENT, WONDERFUL, AMAZING JOB, I LOVE IT THANKS FOR SHARING
Great job man. I have seen and built a lot of theses planters and yours ranks right up there. Keep the fun in it.
Nice to see a workshop with plenty of room and not filled up with household items
Thanks!
I felt the urge to come back and watch this video for the third time and complement you for such an excellent job.
That looks really good, nice work!
Great job! I like the design and finished product.
Excellent work, thank you!
Nice job. One suggestion is titebond 3, as it's more appropriate for outdoor projects, esp for a planter! Great job though.
excellent video and crisp narration. Thanks
Thank you very much.
theeyiff theeyiff theeifff. cool. Awesome planter, love the 2 tone. I'm going in my garage now, thanx.
Boy, do you have a lucky wife. Look at how organized you shop is. Look at the detail-work on that box, even using wood glue. You are inspiring!
Thank you very much!
love the editing....looks awesome, great job overall
Thank you.
EXCELLENT job bro!!!!
Great inspiration!!!!!
Great looking planter box! Thank you for sharing the process. Going to be making a new one for my vegetable garden this weekend 🤗
Thanks and good luck!
Looks like a fun project. Good edit.
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.
Great project. And a pleasure to watch your video.
Subbed. Straight forward but classy. Detailed, but also very enjoyable to watch.
Nice job! Now I have to make one!
very nice job and great video Donald!
Clear, concise video. Subbed.
Excellent job and great video with easy instructions. The boss wants these for a raised garden to help keep the dog from digging in her tomatoes. This is exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work. You got a new subscriber.
Thanks Bob!
Great video and editing! Bob Villa and This old house got nothing on you. This was a very well made video,thank you👍.
Thank you very much!
Excellent video
Thanks for the advice.
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!
great work, nice job!
Well explained and filmed all the way through. Great vid. Thanks from over the pond, England.
Thank you very much!
This video is so helpful, thank you
Nice video i hope to build one of these for our home soon . Thank you for posting this i enjoyed every second of this video . excellent video and project !
great job so beautiful thank for showing
Thanks for the video, and great work! I envy you with all the awesome tools you've got, too.
Melody Chang Thanks!
I like the box . Good work have fun and don't worry about knuckle heads commenting .
Good job, you have some good tools too.
Awesome job well done.
9:43 Beautiful
congratulations, nice work and easy
Man, this is really really nice! I don't have equipment like you but i have been thinking of buying accent table for my living room but couldn't find the right color or type, i got an idea from you for it. Thanks for the detailed video. :)
This is a pretty cool project....especially for a beginner. Had some trouble with the angles of the legs...seeing I couldn't find any cedar pickets....just pine....but it came out great for a first attempt and the wife is happy!
Great video keep up the great work cheers
Good job , thanks for sharing ideas
Thank you!
That table saw zeeeeerrr was cool af!
Beautifully executed. Not only the woodworking, but the great video editing. It almost makes me believe I could do this!
Martin Taubman Thank you Martin! I believe in you and totally think that you can do it.
Looks great! I plan to build a few of these after watching :) I might add I built the loft bed you built and love it as well..excellent work!
Thank you very much! Please post pictures on my facebook page when you get it done.
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!
John Attinger I have the best luck with the pickets if I can let them dry out for a few weeks in my garage.
This is awesome! I'll make one today :D
Great job
so this was my first woodworking project! Thanks for the video! I must have watched it 20 times!
Awesome. When do you go into production? I am ready to order!!
Roxann Moore-Coleman right now! Why wait?
What's your price? I think I'm going to need at least 4
Hope you are receiving much support. I found doing manual labor was one way to help me cope. Love 2U and Angelina
That’s nuts!
Fun project and exceptional camera work!
Thank you very much!
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.
Saw it at work last night loved it. Went home and made it today with my son. Nice job keep it up, I'm handy but not great at making up stuff to build lol.
Kasey Morris Thank you! Please post a picture of the one you made on my FaceBook page. Nobody has posted any pictures of a planter box yet.
Okay, I made two.
I'd make the hubby do this if only we had all those tools!! Nice planter box..
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
Thank you!
I made this too! Thank You!

nice work--contrasting top makes it pop!
Thank you!
I'm glad I found you channel. I am new to wood working. I'm building a nice wood working power tool collection. So far, I've build a flat bottom boat, saw horses, mallets. The planter box, rustic cooler, and a nice living room adjustable book shelf coming soon, with yous guys help. Thanks
Thank you very much! Please send me pics of the projects once you make them so I can post them on my website.
gracias es un gran trabajo completo y sencillo buena idea
Very nice job.
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
very nice looking
Great video
Great job. I am ready to give it a try. Wish you were here to help!😊
Killer job. Looks xlnt
Thank you!
This is awesome
Thanks!
Impressive!
thats a giant drill,, nice!!
thanks for the post may just have to make one of these sweet planters!!
Thanks, if you make one please send me pics to share on my site!
FunWithWoodworking
Will do man!!
Thank you
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.

I was thinking the same thing about the bottom boards needing to be on the inside. Drainage holes also should have been drilled.

What is a cleat?
excelente trabajo te felicito!!
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.
Nice Job Donald! Great first video!
Starting to make smaller versions of your planter box for Christmas presents....Thanks
I love your videos keep it up
Nice and i am glad you did it with a cheap saw... I am more confident in the saw i have which is the same one.. I guess its less about the tool and more about the man behind it.. Nice Table
Thanks!
fantastic , gotta get me some fence boards

Nice!
Very nice
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.
Great job.
Thanks!
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.
Ed Macfarlane I think that is a good idea, thanks!
Thx for the vid! I'll be making a similar one.
Frank Iglesias You're welcome! Please post pics on my facebook page when you are done.
