Great work. Great planter. Lovable planter. Just to add a fact, the function of this planter is not meant for draining water from the top box. You would need a protective plastic to help catch and avoid spillage. You do not want dirty water dripping on that beautiful base. I like your neat build.

Try using a plastic drinking straw to clean up along the inside edges and corners and wipe the excess with a wet paper towel. Works pretty well.

[@rhondawalker6732]

Nice. simpler way than on DIY Creators Channel. But both look good.

[@bryanmartin8336]

Big fan of your channel since discovering your workbench build. I feel like the laminated fence pickets for the bottom shelf are too noticable at the end grain though. Debating between adding bottom stretchers to cover those up or just using more cedar decking cut to 2x2 dimensions like you did for the legs. Guessing the latter would mean buying another board though.

[@rubberducky1902]

You asked for locations - joinery tutor based in N. Ireland Big thanks for cool craft ideas for the students 👌

[@zackjames88]

Great video....only thing is should use tight bond III for outdoor use.... designed for it

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Titebond 2 is water resistant and would work well, but if you want to take it the next step yes 3 would be the best of the best

[@milleradam98]

Awesome love it! I built a different style planter last year, I used spar urethane for outdoor furniture. My wife wants another one, I like this design except she wants the planter box portion painted turquoise... Not a problem but I think oil based spar urethane over the paint will dull/change the color, any suggestions for a protective coating over the paint? Also looking forward to seeing your new shop completed, lol I'm not a hater but definitely jealous 😂😂

[@BearMountainBuilds]

If you use crystal clear water based poly it shouldn’t impact the color too much. I’m very much ready to get into the new shop but the Minnesota winter really slowed me down since I still have to finish putting in the insulation. I should be moving in this spring and finishing sealing it up this summer

[@davegravel3740]

This could easily be adapted to hold a grow light for starting seeds indoors and taken outside for hardening plants to plant outside after frost danger is past. Also would work great for an indoor herb garden for fresh herbs year round. I'm gonna need two or three of these. Curious why you didn't use half laps on the legs since the bottom shelf is half lap joints.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I didn’t want the black supports to be seen on the ends

[@PrimeAlex35]

Hey love the channel/plans. Wondering what I'm missing on the plan where it says the vertical leg are "22 3/4" but page 5 end view shows the legs are 20" tall?

[@rickwolfe6254]

Awesome , thanks. I enjoyed the video , wondering how hard it would be to change the size ??

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It could be scaled up relatively easily but may want to make the legs thicker so they don’t look too skinny

[@misterm7086]

No screws or pocket holes at all? 😬 So the brads and glue hold up in the long haul? Great video. Awesome channel. Be well!

[@RogerD-hx5sd]

Always enjoy your builds. What length roofing screws were used here? For a 5/4 board, do they sell 1-1/4 roofing screws? Or are these strictly decorative.

[@sandman2651]

Really good looking design, sadly i would have to make it from pine as cedar is sooooooo costly in the uk

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Pine would still look great!!

[@jeffreywitty3088]

Your very good, think you can best the "Modern Nightstand, By Shades of Blue Interiors"? It's done with only a single plywood sheet, I'd love to see your more talented take on the design. Maybe in 1/4",,,the economy is tight, lol ;)

[@jamiejohnson9520]

This looks easy as long as you have all the tools. That stuff is expensive.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You can build it with other tools that are cheaper but it will take a bit longer

[@alwayshungry24]

subscribed liked an rang the bell in apreciation for video and plans tks

[@hiitskino9887]

this looks very similar to DIY Creators raised planter box.

[@ckershner74]

For the bottom shelf wont the paint on the ends of the support beams cause the glue to not bond the shelf as well to the legs? Wouldn't sanding the paint off of those locations allow for a stronger glue bond and a stronger shelf? Other than that this is a great build i cant wait to get out in the shop and give it a try.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

When I painted the supports for the bottom I tried to not get too much paint on the ends, but you’re right that if you want max strength it would be best to either mask the joints off or sand them before gluing. Either way it’s still plenty strong as is

[@ckershner74]

@@BearMountainBuilds Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting into my shop and giving the build a try.

[@jesspher25]

Would the brad nails/glue combo hold up long term? or would it be better to add screws as well?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Screws will always be more durable. I just used Brad nails because it’s simple and fast. I think the Brad nails and glue will last for quite a few years

[@peteryelverton2954]

With cedar being soft and using cedar fencing, which is a thin piece of wood, you would run the risk of splitting the wood with screws. I would get thicker cedar planks (which is more expensive) if I was going to use screws.

[@janetdyer5891]

Excellent projects. How do we find the plans?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I have a link to my plans in the video description

[@matthewgarey6240]

How do you get 8 pieces from the stacked cedar that are 8 1/8 long when the total length is only 23 7/8? I can only get 6 with the last two being 7” long?

[@Canosa612]

What is Pressure treated Cedar tone wood? Is that something that can be bought at Home Depot or Lowes or is it just plain old pressure treated planks treated with cedar tone stain? I want to make some of these planters but I'm very confused about the "pressure treated cedar tone" wood.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It’s a board that is generally used for decking that can be bought at Home Depot or Lowe’s. I bought mine from Home Depot. It’s pressure treated so it can’t rot and the cedar tone means it’s artificially colored like cedar

[@fidgetshouse]

You should charge for the plans, they are really great. So I am going to pay you for them. You also have a typo on your shop page (bought not brought)! ;) great channel.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Thanks Kris I really appreciate it!!

[@AlexMelara]

Are there individual plastic pots used inside of the planter or is just filled with lose soil in the planter?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Loose soil

[@cristian13ytube]

Does the glue stick to the paint?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Yeah it does. However if you want to make it as strong as possible you would want to mask the areas where it will be glued before painting. However, as is it is plenty strong enough

[@markfields9841]

Unless this is designed to be an indoor project, you need to be using Titebond 3 wood glue which is waterproof.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Based off the Titebond 2 spec it is water resistant and suitable for outdoor use

[@artsteadman2230]

For the negative Nellie's... KISS

[@milleradam98]

I agree, I'm not a beginner but this project and others like it helps everyone. A beginner has a step by step guide, someone experienced can adjust to their taste accordingly.

I applaud this guy and appreciate his work

[@DennisMathias]

So, won't the nails rust out? What about dowels.
