@@face_in_the_crowd in two years I have learned a lot more. Thanks for watching.

@@face_in_the_crowd I have a few more videos. I hope you watch them all. Cheers.

@@face_in_the_crowd I make them in tons of variations. 5/4 x 4 cap, 5/4 x 6 cap. This one happens to be no cap. Taller ones with shelf bottoms. Most people that buy from me are looking for utilitarian purposes over esthetics. My philosophy is “make what sells”. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Sorry looked back at video again and you are not.

@@jasonbranham3486 yeah. Just a regular blade. Sometimes the cedar varies so I go back and forth between more and less teeth. Sometimes I’m impatient too haha. Hoping to make some this weekend.

@@rusticwood121 I searched black and white silhouette. If I remember right I had to change the shape and direction the tail pointed to bring it into the footprint I work with. I’m just starting to make these this weekend for this year. Fun and easy project. Made some grinch ones for Christmas. Painted boxes green. Hoping to post a video soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be safe!

@@MichaelPower-g2q absolutely. I can’t wait for spring time when I get to make planters. Keeps me busy and a few extra dollars never hurts.

@@craftlover9702 great ideas. 🤣

@@glenncurtis7224 markets are weird. I do 20 each or 15 for quantities two or more. I can make them fast so I usually recycle my pictures. People always ask for what ever Disney stuff is new. Haha. Jack skelington, cats, and Frankenstein are the most popular.

I do not. When i first started i did and I had a number of times i wouldn't get a sale because people are scared of the chemicals leeching into the soil. My new rule is this, "I don't paint, and I do'nt stain". I sell most things sanded and advertise ready to paint or stain. Its actually nice because it takes a lot off my plate, makes the build a little cheaper and most of all if I paint something in white i don't get someone asking of i got one in blue. lol It works. Thanks for taking a look and even more for taking the time to comment.

@@garagesaws5729 perfect

@@MrRwinsett hi. Just seeing your post. I would share but not sure of any ways. Start searching with “black and white cat silhouette” I some times include clip art in my search. I’ll have to find a way to share files. I absolutely would.

I appreciate that. Report back. Let me know if you hit a problem. I didn't explain well enough. Goof luck.

It was actually provided to me on graph paper. Later, I made a template in Illustrator and colored the squares. The client was particular about the colors in each square. Good customer, though. They own an optometrist. And I wear glasses. Lol. They provided me with an exam and a pair as an extra, thanks. Funny, someone contacted me recently to see if I could laser engrave a leather journal. It turns out it was for this same person's son, who was leaving the country. Also, thank you for taking the time to look.

Yep. I had someone ask for one last year. If I remember correctly, I made it tiers taller and was a leaner. Please report back. Good luck. I've also thought a hanger would be cool-something that hung from a tall fence. That way, you wouldn't lose real estate under it.

HA! What is the image? I got it taped down. I also taped down my dispenser,

I had to go check. It is a DWS779. I was going to buy the one with a laser, but for the price difference, I just decided to use my eyes instead. I can only compare it to the old Makita started with. I love it, though. The bearings are smooth when you pull the saw in and out. It does take up some room, though, and the vacuum deal on the back is tiny. Gets clogged easily, but I will admit I have yet to hook up my vacuum yet. Soon though.

@@garagesaws5729 the DWS779 is the miter saw. I’m wondering if your table saw is the DWS7491RS?

Sorry, haha. Mine says DWE7491. I was stumped by what the RS stands for because mine doesn't say that, but when I searched for it online, I noticed the model number followed by Rolling Stand. So yeah, I think we have the same saw. I love it. Fun fact: I've always had to use it with an extension cord. Recently, I had power added to my small shop I just built, and holy moly. Saw kicks butt more than ever with full power.

@@garagesaws5729 thank you for getting back to me! I too have had to run my saw on an extension cord. Soon, I hope to be able to have it in my garage. Instead of pulling it out from the shed and setting it up in the driveway to use.

@@mrmyblessednest1722 The biggest problem I ever had cutting in about three years was when I made a French cleat wall storage system. Cutting 3/4" plywood at a 45° angle wasn't as easy as I hoped. But that was when I was still on an extension cord.

No glue. I brad things in place, but I usually add a small strip on the inside and screw that strip in. It sandwiches everything together.

Oh, it's great. So, I just posted a new video mentioning it again. I spent this morning making a video on sourcing some cheap lumber. Anyway, when I was done, I went out back to see what I could make. I have someone waiting on two wavy flags with a Seattle Kraken design. I just used my (restorer) tool. That's what it's called. It's worth the money, and it's not expensive.

I placed the bottom box like 4-6" off the bottom. What ever I do on the bottomw i match on top. then split the difference. I advertise as 48" tall but at an angle. Depending on the piece you start with I sometimes fudge the numbers. A ten footer works but an 8 footer wont. Just have fun with it and learn from the first one. When I make a few they are all the same. The next time i make them they are different. Hope that helps

Oh i forgot screw size. I usually use 2" or 2.5" for all the structural stuff. For the boxes, I use 1 1/8". I think I'll be adding a wood piece in the corners. I feel like I'd like a little more bite in the corners than in between the 5/8" picket.

I do not. I was shooting from the hip. I would have done so many things differently, but it did serve its purpose well. I recently built a shop which isn't finished. I incorporated my flip-up table into the wall. So now it is attached but can still flip up and down. I'll see if I can put together a small video. I've got tons of things recorded that need to be edited. Thanks for the comment. Perhaps I can build a new one and record as I go.

Oh, it's plenty strong enough. I'm not sure how long it will last, but I usually use the strongest-looking boards.

All my toys are purchased one at a time. Everything was paid for from jobs or projects I've done. I just recently bought a laser engraver. It will pay for its self eventually. Thank you for the comment and for taking a peek.

@@garagesaws5729 looks good, regardless of idiot comments

That's a great idea, actually, and now that I'm thinking about it would be great for the bottom of the legs. I do it on the bottom of my legs when i remember. Helps keep the edges from splitting when you drag them.

Scroll on if you don’t need to see it but some of us are more visual and don’t want steps skipped.

Thank you. I have so much recorded. The editing is the hardest part. Hopefully, I will have more out soon. I've since built a small shop. I hope it will make things even better.

Thats awesome. It really is a simple build and looks good, I plan to make a change on the inside corners of the planter boxes to make sure it last longer. Mine is 3-4 years old and still standing, so thats good. The neighborhood cats love to lie in them. lol

I do predrill. As soon as the wood splits you need to make a new hole. Ive found taking the time to predrill works best. There isnt much meat there. The idea of plastic containers is a great idea.

Yes, you can. Sorry for the delayed response. We have some family stuff going on, but all is well. I have tried cutting more than one at a time. I think it's too much for my old saw. I've reverted to one at a time. I have seen people cut as many as 4-5 at a time, though. I've used this one for about 4 years. It was given to me. I've made at least 1K with projects. It's time for me to invest in a new scroll saw. I eyeballing the Dewalt.

Planning to upgrade soon. This was given to me. Its been good but its time. Ill find someone that can use it as a beginner.

Thank you. This year I didnt get to make too many. Got a new job and lives been crazy.

Not necessarily. The only thing holding the boxes together are 1 1/4" screws going into 5/8 picket. It wouldn't take much racking for it to twist. If i was going to make an adjustment id probably add 1'' square stock into each corner to add longer screws. Perhaps then. I want to put together a video on searching for discounted lumber. I buy my cedar for usually around 70% off. So ill get 12' 5/4x1's for like 3-4. Realistically it may only cost an extra $6 for me to add all that lumber and I think it makes it very sturdy. Thanks for the input. I try and read all the comments. I been super busy as of late.

That's a nice discount you got there. Where I am, the price of lumber is ridiculous. The 5"x6' picket fence is over $5. Even SFP 2x4 are $4.50.

Cedar pickets are still available although the price is up. Note carefully the EXACT sizes.

I haven't looked in about two months bust haven't heard anything. Id expect to find them. Is there a shortage i'm unaware of?

I usually buy my pickets when I find them sifted through and in the cull lumber pile. Three years in a row Ive been able to buy a pallet with tons of pickets for sometimes less then a buck a piece. I would say on average I can build this stand for about $40. If I bought everything full price would be around $75. I have note looked at prices this year however. I started a new job April 1st and its put a damper on my garage time. I have a few projects i need to put together in the editing department and Ill be sharing soon.

Lol. I do not. two years ago i used my vacation time and a pallet of leftover pickets from planter builds and decided I need a fence. Ive never built a fence so I decided thats what i need in my life. Since I was doing it myself I made the nicest fence I could. The top caps are 2x6. I found the idea while looking at pinterest. I seen a really nice privacy fence. I kinda of copied and upgraded features and just made it shorter. My side fence is nice too. It transitions from a 4' to a 6' so I have some diagonal sections that grow in size. My neighbors love it. Most importantly so do I.

Great suggestion!

Hi. I do not paint or stain. I hate when I stain and someone makes comments about stain leeching into soil. Or if I paint a project people want it a different color. Ive learned to just make everything "ready for paint or stain" I be like "enjoy painting or staining with your kids". Its never really worth my time. Id say the best thing possibly to preserve would be to line with plastic but Ive heard people say that that will trap moisture and promote rot as well. I do not add drainage wholes because there is a long gap between the bottom piece and the side pieces. When you assemble them you could have anywhere from a 1/4 inch to and 1/8 gap. wish I could add pictures.

Thank you so much for the comment. This stand is my favorite project of the year. I can make about 5-10 in a weekend if its my main project for the weekend. I usually make them through the week after work and then post them on the weekends. Sell out usually.

Thank you. I keep it pretty simple. I have so much fun making these and I think the price I ell them at is fair. People who buy them love them.
