Excellent build on the planter. Last spring, I found myself building planters, raised and tall, for family and friends. With each one built, I learned something new to improve my process, so i can relate to your learning experience.
(BAD PUN WARNING ---->>) I guess building planters, in a way, helps us to.....ahem....grow. hehehe, sorry couldn't resist.
Well i was looking for something to build for my wife on mothers day and this is the perfect gift, thank you very much.
Michael,
Nice boxes, did you line them with anything (plastic) before you put the dirt in?
Thanks Leslee. I can't agree more; very easy on the back and it keeps most critters out as well. I didn't put a finish on the wood at all. There was some concern amongst the chiefs in my house about chemicals from any treatments possibly contaminating the veggies we hope to grow in it.
I made 4 raised planter boxes about two summers ago out of reclaimed wood from an old house that was torn down. I do like your box Micheal, it reminds me of my 4 boxes that I made to hold my garden in. I like the raised bed because it is easier on the back. I hope you are going to put a finish or a wood protector on the outside of your box from discoloration.
Any tips for working with cedar? i am planning on building a cedar bed, chest and dresser using pocket hole joinery. i have been playing with some of my cedar boards and am splitting out the cedar when installing my pocket screws. any suggestions?
Thanks Jim, we have tons of pallets sitting around at work. I'll have to give that a try.
Don, sorry but I don't have plans for this. It was super easy to make though. Just a box with no top on it. Afterwards I simply framed in each side and extended the stiles to become the legs. I ended up extending pocket holes all the way down the legs because I was concerned about the weight of the box with wet dirt in it. It measures roughly 32" x 32" square. I have plans to make two more like it but varying in height.
I really like the planter, are there plans for it?

I making a hex ring out of 2x4s ripped to 2 ¾ inches wide with 30 degree miters. What setting on the Jig should I used? 1 ½ is too much. Thanks.Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
