Love your video, but please wear safety glasses. It only took me one time using my nailer when I was trimming out a basement where it hit a knot and came back and hit me in my safety glasses. I was 50-50 in wearing safety glasses from that day on. It’s 100%.
Do you want to know why he works for himself?
So he doesn't have to hear that bullshit all the time.

I make it a habit of always yanking out those stupid staples before starting any project with fence pickets. I appreciate your level of detail in this video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
And I have seen a lot of injuries from those staples. So yes, wear your darned eye protection folks. Imagine the nail gun and table saw injuries I've seen.
Nice build. Thanks for the cut list.
You bet
Excellent idea
I think you could also offer one with a lid as a garden tool/utility box.
Yeah, I had a customer request something like that. She never went through with placing an order
I had 100 pickets delivered yesterday. this video is a good example of what to do with them. Thanks for the cut list.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the simple and clear instructions.
Sold 19 of your small boxes week 1 on marketplace with a small twist on the design. Gonna try these next, great stuff man 👊🏽👍🏼
That’s awesome man! Keep it going!
Yes! Thank you for posting this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video. I’ve seen a lot of different planter boxes and I like your design the most.
Make a bench for your saw with a backstop. Make a quick jig that will clamp to backstop. Cut one and set the clamp for length. Boom even faster. Nice vids!
Thank you for the video and the plans.
Thanks for this. I’ll have to try one.
Thanks for the video. Nice job, looks good.
nice build - can't wait to make one. thanks for the cut list.
Hope you enjoy it!
I don't get why everyone needs plans etc. Watch the vid. Write down what you need. Cut it up and go to school on the first one or two, then you're a pro...done. Thanks Salty. Nice stuff!
Probably most don’t, but it’s nice to take the 10 seconds to thank the person for the extra effort to make it available for all.
Very well done video. Nicely explained. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Looks great. Great detail on the build. Plan on makin some.
Nice stuff. Thx Salty!
Great video. Appreciate the plans. Thanks.
Great video, thanks for sharing your plans. Will be my next project. Please continue the great projects. Hilton
When doing repetitive cuts, always use the first board as the pattern, otherwise you will get a progressive error introduced into each successive piece
I make somewhat the same box. Just taller and with a shelf on the bottom for watering cans and whatnot. Very nice job.
Great work ! Thank you bother !
Thank You, the download went just fine, nice video : )
Thank you!
Have fun building
Very nice build! I make one similar and you're right, they sell well. Thank you again!
Thanks!
Looks like you've done a good job
Thank you!
Great video! 🔥
Love your videos, hope to see more!
More to come!
I appreciate you. I'm gonna use this in my area and see how it goes. God bless you 🙏
Thanks! Have fun building!
Thanks man! I'm going to build one of these
Don’t forget to have fun with it!
Love this video! You broke it down so simple for for a beginner like me. Thank you! Just subscribed.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video, thanks for the plans 😁
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Thanks for the plan!!
Nice planter
Thank you!
Your channel is awesome. Subbed!
Thank you!
Nice table saw. Maybe a helpful tip, you can use 2 clamps to temporality hold the sides vertically.
You made over 2000 of those!? Dang!!!!! I guess they were all made for local people? Wonderful video. The planters look awesome
Noooo, made over $2,000 worth of these lol. I’d need a whole factory to make 2,000 of them 😂
Nice design. Your instructions are very clear. I might just make one👍
One thing that’s always puzzled me about planters is whether or not to line the box with plastic or seal the wood to protect the wood from rot and to prevent spill from leaking out the cracks. Let me know what you think.
Thank you!
I don't line them with anything since cedar is naturally rot resistant. Of course, it would make them last longer if you were to use some sort of fabric or sealer, but it isn't needed unless you want to. The only issue with not sealing them, is cedar will grey over time being out in the sun.
Nice and clear instructions and well explained. Im in England and have made quite a lot of planters similar to these but i make my legs up then screw the boards to them but your way is as good ! Ive just had 2 planters picked up this morning which i sold for £45 each and i dont know how many dollars that is but i have a feeling its too cheap and that includes finishing and lining !
If they are planters this size, definitely try upping your price.
But thank you for the kind words!
Thanks!
Whoa, this is the first time I got a super. Thank you!
New sub man. I was a finish carpenter for a year and I wanna start getting into making things!
You should!
Use pine in the bottom to save money
nice
I work a lumber mill/yard. The big box stores aren't the ones that staple that stuff on the ends. That would be us. Some of us are a bit more modern and it is printed on instead.
For the rail that holds the bottom, I used to make that using off cuts so sometimes I would use 3 different strips butted together to make one rail, it gets glued and nailed to the full board so the theory is that the lengthwise strength wouldn't be an issue. The idea was to save full length long strips for parts in the build where you have to use a full nice strip. Eventually I stopped doing that just because it took more steps to keep finding offcuts that would work and cutting them to length, faster to just cut one or more boards to 44 inches or whatever you need. What do you think about using like 3 offcut strips to make that floor rail?
That’s what I do 90% of the time. I have a pretty big stockpile of scraps, so I just go through them and use it.
You’re right on what you said, it doesn’t affect the strength at all.
Are those cypress fence slats? Great video. Very easy to follow along with.
Thanks! They are cedar
So what would be a good thing to build durning the fall and winter
How about some salty glasses?
normally you only need a max. of 8inches for soil depth
Just depends on what you’re planting. For example, tomatoes you want 12”.
This box is roughly 15” deep, but you don’t fill it up to the very top anyway. Just has some extra breathing room.
Been building planters for a couple years now..I.. what do you do with the scrap? Any project ideas. Great video
I burn a lot of it.
But bird houses is an easy project you can do with the scraps, could even sell them if you want.
In western Canada cedar fence boards are 10 dollars each. Which is crazy considering I live beside the cedar forests.
Ya, I was thinking the same thing. Here in Alberta a 5' cedar board is $7.04 and 8' is $11.19 on sale. Normal lumber might be cheap. But they are gouging on everything else👎
Hello and great work! I was wondering if you run your pickets through the planer?
I do! I run one side through just to give it a clean face.
How many boards do you need and what size?
Nice build! Do you plane both sides, or just one? And what is your final thickness after planing? And, do you ever bother with any type finish on them, or just leave natural?
I plane one side.
These fence boards are so inconsistent on thickness, but I usually take a 1/16th off of each one just to bring out the color.
I don’t bother with finish, to be honest, I hate doing finish. So if the customer wants finish I let them handle it.
@@SaltyWoodworking - thanks! About the only suggestion I'd make for construction would be to assemble the two leg pieces first. Would make it a lot easier for the rest of the assembly process.
Do you sell them locally or do you ship them? Great video by the way. Thank You
I sell them locally on fb marketplace
safety glasses !!!
Cedar pickets or southern yellow pine pickets for the wood?
I’m using cedar, it’ll last better in the elements than pine
Can you build these out of regular fence pickets?
You can. Cedar is just preferred since it’s rot resistant. It has the best chance of lasting in the outdoor elements.
Where did you get those safty contacts? I hate wearing safty glasses too!
Safety*
But contact your ophthalmologist, they can get you some!
What if you don't have a planer the picket fences are not all the same thickness
Do you ship these or only local delivery?? Love your plans
I sell them locally through fb marketplace
Thank you
Do you use a protective finish of any kind?
I don’t, I let the customers add finish if they want.
Those tops aren’t butt joints. They’re more of a butt and a hip. Haha!
How thicker than fence pickets
Where did you get your black apron? Been looking for one for awhile now.
I got it off of Amazon. It’s pretty solid for $40.

It looks like you using a 10” 80 tooth blade on your table saw. Is that correct?
Yep, that’s right!
Hard to tell on video but those pickets look thicker than what I get. Mine come barely 5/8 and sometimes a hair under. I sold my planer a few years ago in disgust over snipe and use a router with sled but would not dare plane mine if I had one.
They’re super inconsistent on thickness.
But I never had an issue with snipe on my planer, guess I was lucky in getting a good one.
@@SaltyWoodworking Wow nice. I had 3 different planers including a $900 Dewalt, all lunchbox planers. I spent hours adjusting the tables and building sleds, could never get rid of the snipe. I built mostly cutting boards so I had to use a couple extra long pieces to take the snipe. Then I just started making them 4-6 feet long and using a router to plane then cut them down to size which was much nicer because I could make them wider than 12". Anyway, I guess snipe would not be an issue with pickets because you're going to cut the ends off anyway.
How many fence boards do you need for it
12
What area do you live?
Nice video and great box☺️
Thank you,
I’m in Louisiana
@SaltyWoodworking is love to visit but live in S Florida . Do to have shop tours? My nephew loves in Louisiana?
These look great. I can't believe you can get these so cheap. Where I am cedar 1x6x6 is $10 CAD at home depot, so 12 would cost $120. To make 70% over material cost I'd need to sell them for $400 CAD, or about $295 USD! 😔
Jeez that’s crazy.
I wonder if there is a different lumber alternative you can look into that might be a little bit cheaper.
The material he's using are fence pickets which sell for about 4$ at home depot. And are 6' x5 1/2" wide. 1x material us way more expensive if you can even find it at the big box stores.
@@SaltyWoodworking could probably resaw some 5/4 white oak for around the same price, then I wouldn't feel so crazy asking $400 haha. There are guys around here on FB marketplace selling these for
Like the last guy said, these are fence pickets. Most likely they are the green pressure treated pickets at Home Depot. You can make this very cheap. You might want to stain it to change the color. I just purchased enough of these last week to build a large trashcan screen to hide my trash cans. They were 3.50$ a piece.
@@daveworkman5213I just looked, the fence pickets at home Depot are actually 1.50$ each
Are you using 6ft boards?
Yes I am
What screws would you recommend for this
1” screws. Some sort of stainless steel, deck screws, or galvanized so they don’t rust.
Alr thanks man
Where do you sell?
FB Marketplace and word of mouth
having a problem with plans Unable to download.
What’s happening when you try to down load it?
You click the button, fill out the form, and it redirects you to the plans.
I accidentally clicked on the plans thinking I needed to do that to print them and it locked me out!
Email me. Saltywoodworking1@gmail.com
I’ll shoot you over the plans to your email.
Wont download plans. Just keeps popping up a form.
Fill out the form and it should redirect you to the plans
@@SaltyWoodworking does NOT !!! Only says THANK YOU no redirect !!! WTF
@@strega2579 Sorry about that. I'm still learning how all this works. I think I fixed it, try it again and let me know. Thanks
@@SaltyWoodworking Works good now !! Thanx
brother < sorry
Just be careful with that as he activates his safety squints.
Try safety glasses
So I'm sorta sad that I have to give you my information in order to get the plans😢 .... I will look elsewhere, thanks
To be fair, you could always just put fake info if it concerns you that much.
Good video, but you really should be wearing face shield, or goggles.
I just wonder how many of us wear a face shield in our shops...not me.
You don't have to worry so much about stuff getting into your eyes when you're wearing eye protection. JS.
I need to get in a better habit of wearing safety glasses.
@@SaltyWoodworking my wifes umcle lost an eye on a tablesaw because a piece of wood flew up and into his eye. It happens so fast.
I slack off on the ear muffs, mostly because I'm working outdoors, but I'm religious about eye protection. Just the other day, my saw decided to pelt me with one of those loose fitting knots right at my face. And I don't even stand in line with the blade. 😎
You're more concerned with hearing protection than eye protection. You're in a woodshop, get real.......the work is very good but you should practice better safety standards...
lol I was just about to say that😂
