The Easiest DIY Planter box! - Under $5 to build! - How To

[@DarksouIjah]

As a newbie to wood working... literally the easiest and straight forward DYI instructions I've come across. 10/10... I just subscribed bc of that.

[@BradyHommel]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for subscribing.

[@johnriddle6658]

Your video editing is perfect for me. Perfect pace, no over explaining, easy to understand. I’ve decided to start my woodworking hobby here and now with this project. I’ll make these for Mother’s Day gifts! Thanks homie :)

[@donovanmaxwell]

I've watched several videos lately of this style of planter box. This box seems to be one of the better-constructed boxes and the instruction was very clear. Instant subscribe.

[@BradyHommel]

Great to hear Donovan. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment!

[@kellireece6348]

Dude! I so wish more people providing tutorials would watch this video and get a feel for how true, GOOD COMMUNICATION and knowledge sharing is done. You, my friend, are an amazing teacher! Don't change a thing. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Really beautiful work here. Love the finished product - but even more importantly (for me anyway) I love how easily I was able to understand so effortlessly what you wanted me to learn. Bravo! And thank you!

[@secretwoodproject]

Yes, definitely. When I see a video not give dimensions and send you to a darn ETSY link, I IMMEDIATELY stop following that creator and never watch another video.

[@TiaCSmith-cb4ot]

Thanks so much. I built this planter yesterday. This video was a guide step-by-step on what to do how long to cut the pieces and everything and because of that I was able to build that planter. Thank you so much the other videos that I watch don’t walk you through the process they want you to head over to the website to purchase their plans but it helps to have that guided assistance especially for someone who in experienced like myself. Thank you so much because of this I have subscribed to your channel and I hit the like button. Thanks again.

[@BradyHommel]

Great to hear! So glad the video was helpful to you and that you were able to build it for yourself!! Thanks for your comment

[@sailer5373]

Best and simplest method I've seen. Thanks for a great ,well planned video.

[@BradyHommel]

Appreciate that. Thank you!

[@darylklein7416]

Many of these plans here but I like yours the best, thanks for posting these plans

[@fredwickwire2502]

Brady, thank you. Made 11 planter boxes so far. Revised legs to 16". People love them. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work !!

[@BradyHommel]

Glad to hear that Fred! Thanks for the comment

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

Great job on your presentation brother. I'm pallet&crate wood hobbyist/builder. I love this build you've done here. It would be pretty simple to modify this build into a 2 tier, or 3, or more even. Really cost effective. Those of us who still don't have a pocket hole gig won't modify the build any to reproduce it.

[@thediyprojectzone3604]

I’m making these now, painting the legs black and doing a square top and they are selling nicely! I love this design!!!

[@BradyHommel]

Awesome to hear! I like the touch of the black legs. I can envision that that looks pretty good!

[@emaw1976]

What color are you painting the rest of it?

[@harleyhudson2661]

I was wondering how much do these sell for? just to get an idea.

[@thefoxfireworkshop]

For practical, everyday woodworking projects and advice, there is no better teacher than Brady Hommel.

[@cybercloneswain3648]

Great inexpensive build Brady. Will need to make a couple of inches wider for my 5 gal pots. Unfortunately some people don’t understand that a professional woodworker will have the necessary tools to make things easy. I’m not a professional but have the DYI tools needed for about $500 that I use for all my projects. Thank you.

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks for the comment! Check out my video on the large planters I built. Those work with 5 gallon buckets

[@jacka.williamsjr.8066]

Thanks for this project! I made two for my wife, she loves them!!

[@BradyHommel]

That is great! Glad to hear that.

[@tylerfryberger3168]

Great plans! I used some old fence pickets and now they look like rustic re-claimed barn wood. Just took me a few extra to mill the old pickets to the right dimensions.

[@caedengoering]

I just stumbled upon your channel - INSTANT Subscribe. Love your content. No filler, straightforward, helpful, and excellent designs. I love it! Thanks for the tutorials.

[@BradyHommel]

Appreciate that comment! Thank you!

[@Kevin_Phu]

This is probably the easiest design I've seen for this style planter! Have cedar pickets in the garage and gonna make some soon!

[@BradyHommel]

Awesome! They are great little planters

[@tomcosta47]

Thank You' You made it very clear on the measurement other woodworks really don't

[@BradyHommel]

Appreciate that! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching

[@jrelliott1015]

Alrighty! Started this morning. Soon will see what I ended up with, Brady! Fingers crossed!

[@BradyHommel]

Well 8 months later.... How'd it turn out? Haha

[@rcomm6980]

Nice, easy build. I had an issue with the boards cupping. The brad nails weren't enough to keep everything flush while the glue dried, so clamping was needed. I'll try cedar next time and see if that works better...just have to charge a little more for them. Thanks for the vid!

[@tallpaul7657]

My parents just asked if I could make a few fern planters for them, thanks for the short cut!

[@elaineclayton1202]

Sounds great! How did it work out?

[@cobra4246]

@@BradyHommel It worked out good my wife stained them put one of her potted plants in each of them, she showed them to her eye Dr now he wants one for a plant in his office waiting room.

Fence Pickets!!! You said the magic word. I love working with those!

[@suleidacarrera5242]

He made it look so simple wish he would show the measurements visually for those who don’t math and are newbies to DIY projects love his accent

[@xisotopex]

why would measurements be necessary? you make them to whatever dimensions you want or need.

[@paulauncapher8957]

Thanks for the great instructions. It’s a good thing the safety police are on high alert to warn people to be safe because nobody can think for themselves.

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!

[@say-dq1th]

Cool design! Thanks for sharing! Just made one. 1 note of caution for SawStop users, be careful ripping wet lumber, may trip the safety.

[@BradyHommel]

Good to know for sawstop users. Did yours trip?? Also note lots of times there are staples at the ends of these boards. Not sure if that would trip it as well?

[@say-dq1th]

@@BradyHommel thank goodness mine did not trip… this time. Just a tip I remembered when researching it, and my local stores keep fence pickets outside (I used cedar) so there is treatment + the elements. Ah yes, definitely removed staples in my boards too. Cheers!

[@hbrealhousewife2270]

Brilliant. I’ve just acquired a mitre saw and a small table saw. Haven’t done woodworking before….this is definitely going to be my first project.

[@BradyHommel]

Awesome! Perfect first project and perfect time of year for a planter box! Good luck!

Your welcome!

[@capt221]

So I cut the boards to the size, but because I have a small miter saw I could not stack the pickets. I learned that you must cut 2 of each from each picket to only use 2. I had to cut my final piece from a third picket. Still turned out great. Just wanted to pass it along.

[@cecilferris1163]

Awesome, going to make me some this weekend. Great job.

[@atstinger]

It’s true, all of it! Great instructions and it’s simple to put together with a brad nailer, table saw and miter saw. Thank you! And the exact pickets are on sale right now at Lowe’s for $1.98 each. You really can assemble a great looking box for under $5 in less than an hour first go!

[@jamesspencer7912]

Went today it’s $2.18. Going to make one today will add pics when done.

[@jamesspencer7912]

Don’t know how to add pic but it came out great 1 little mistake my 45 degree cut didn’t line up perfect in 1 corner. But a great success.

[@jimmyturner5589]

Just finished making my 1st planter box, everything went great, the only issue I had was that some of the pickets were thicker in places and when I made the top trim some of the 45 corners didn't match up on the corner heights but that's OK, it's my first and my wife loved it, it will be inside on a covered deck so I used regular wood glue, but will go back thru with screws when I have time.

[@escapetherace1943]

if you have a planer just run it through so they are all exact

[@thedbcooperforum]

How long should you let the pickets dryout..I let them dry for a couple days but gaps are now showing between the two horizontal pieces, some as large as 1/4 inch..it even separated the glue. I like to glue the two pieces together before putting the sides on..

[@RavenDesi]

I love this tutorial! Will HD or Lowes cut the wood for me? Also, should I sand and stain prior to assembling?

Hey Brady! I have a question for you. My top trim isn't on enough to nail on. Can I make it smaller and still fit the pot? BTW......great video and planter. Just built one. Looks like a 30 min planter. Another quick question. Your tall vertical planter with handles....... love it but cannot get it to sell. I could reduce price but want to make it worth while for my time. Help?

Will Titebond II work for these types of pressure treated planks?

[@BradyHommel]

Yes it will. As long as the lumber isn't to wet on the surface. Best to allow the wood to sit in your shop a couple days.

[@secretwoodproject]

@@BradyHommel Thanks. I went with the Titebond III and made 2 of them this past weekend.

[@justajuicy1231]

What do you typically charge?

[@jeffbedsole9741]

What a simple design. I've made several of these and they are great. Quick question. Does your method of scrap pieces for the bottom allow someone to put dirt and plant their own flowers or plants. I worry that dirt would fall through the bottom buy you'd want to leave a gap for water drainage. Your thoughts would be helpful. Thanks for your videos..

[@tonybellucci9390]

You can place landscaping fabric in it, I've seen most people do so in a raised garden planter, so this could apply to.

[@NotDecup-r8t]

Can you send me the link of the fence pickets?

Hi, great tutorial. I was going to purchase the plans for this build but it says they are sold out? Do you have them at a different location?

[@MarkGray1970]

Have you had problems with the pressure treated stuff drying out and shrinking? Does the glue and pins hold up?

[@BradyHommel]

No to awful bad. The glue and brads hold up fine. A few miters have slightly tweaked out of perfect Allignment but not bad.
