$10 in lumber... Build these Huge Planters.

[@ryanjohnson19851]

I am just getting into woodworking with no experience. I have watched countless videos of people making planters. While they all have been helpful in one way or another, the simplicity, actual visual demonstration, and narration you provide are the best. Watching your videos have boosted my confidence and filled gaps in the "how do I do this one thing?". I appreciate you. Subscribed!

[@BradyHommel]

That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing that I appreciate it

[@aleck755]

Ive sold over 200 of the planter you taught me to build last year. I get pallet off cuts for .10$ a board. Im into the boxes for like 1.25-1.50$ at most. Its been great. I might dabble with these. Lots of cuts but the profit margins are silly. Thanks alot!

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

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that!

[@DarksouIjah]

You’re like really good at teaching and showing tutorials.

[@BradyHommel]

Appreciate that! Thank you

[@susansmith574]

Love your tutorials, I’m a 67 yr old grandma and I made your small one now will make a few of this size. You’re a great teacher. 👍

[@BradyHommel]

Awesome! So great to hear that! I'm also releasing another planter video tomorrow. So keep an eye out for that one!

[@eltee9547]

Thank you for the step by step video. Even with the clear and consice instructions, I still ordered the plans just to show my support; plus I'm a plans in the hand kind of guy. Thanks again and continued success with your channel. Cheers!!

[@BradyHommel]

Really appreciate that! Thanks a lot to you. I like having physical plans in hand as well

[@melodywilson5255]

[@DarksouIjah]

I just built one of these...literally the first wood working project that I ever did..Came out ok, a bit crooked but that's all on me. Thanks for this video. I bought the plans for this as a thank you. I'll be giving a second one again soon.

[@BradyHommel]

That is awesome! Glad to hear that! I'm impressed you tackled this one as your first project. Keep crushing it!

[@DarksouIjah]

@@BradyHommel Thank you. I figured out what I did wrong. I put two of the longer sides together opposed to opposite sides of each other. I do recall that I did grab the shorter side but I guess I didn’t.

[@jeffforbes3772]

Pretty cool. The slats at different widths really add to the look. Thanks for posting.

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks Jeff. I originally made a prototype where the slats were all 1.5" and the finished product looked like a wood trash can. Lol. So I made the gaps narrower and used different widths. Thanks for commenting!

[@jamesgulledge2602]

Hey Brady,loved this build. Made em and had customers ask for shorter ones so I have16" and 20" ones. Same size as the 24" one,but shorter. They love em..

[@BradyHommel]

That's awesome to hear! Glad they are working out for you and selling!

[@bengray378]

i built the small ones, with no problems thanks to your teaching. now i will build the large ones and i will let you know how it goes. Thanks for taken the time to explain everything.

[@Sixers6thMan]

Great job BH! I am in the middle of building my first one. I purchased the plans to help support the channel! The file for the Night Stands is mismarked as the 2xs4 patio chairs. So when you download them you get two of the same-titled file but it is a different file when you open it.

I use platic bottle ;ids on my feet it gives the wood a better chance in the wet areas

Grate project and a good video. I’m going to make some this weekend.

[@BradyHommel]

Good to hear! Thank you

[@JoseyOaks]

Great color mix with the Thompson. What color stain did you use on these.

[@calabiyau-ib9hp]

Great project and video tutorial! The Lowes we have in south Florida had cheap fence pickets and I picked up 6 for 1.98 each. They were slightly less than 5 1/2” wide. So squaring up lost a bit more off each side. Also they were so rough and mildew encrusted I planed them a tiny bit at a time to 9/16” thick. I’ve cut all 48 pieces but am thinking assembly will be interesting as all final measurements are a bit off of the plans.

[@tomspallone1868]

Everything is a little bit off in Fl! I know, I’m there too.

[@jamesroberts3725]

I would nail the vertical slats from the inside so you don't see the nail holes. Also, use pocket hole screws to attach the side assemblies. Then all you have exposed are the top nail holes and you gave a great way to hide those. Thanks for the video, great plans.

[@jenniethomas8908]

I have just completed my first planter with your plan, Thank You, you are a very good Teacher. I did mind in cedar with a beeswax finish, light weight and it looks Great.

[@m.p.r8243]

You really good at this, well explained.

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the comment

[@distinctivewoodworks3950]

I built a set of these and like the look and the process. I had some trouble with my first one because the pickets had such irregular edges and it threw off some of the joints so on the second one I crosscut all my pieces but before ripping them I jointed one edge on each board. This gave me the accuracy I was looking for and my second one turned out much better. I also used a speed square when making the four side frames which helped a lot to get everything to line up for the assembly of the uprights and main carcass. I also appreciate your skill at editing your videos; so many others make you slog through 16 of the same cuts at regular speed. Nice work!

[@waynevincent892]

Brady well done video really like the way you explained every detail again great video😊

They look great , i like the look of the different sizes . 5 pickets make one planter ? Thanks for sharing the build.

[@BradyHommel]

Thank you! Yes 5 pickets per planter. I made a prototype at first and the widths were all 1.5" and it looked like a wooden track can. Lol. So I went with the different widths.

[@ashtondestroyer1184]

Beautiful work.

[@coffeesleeves]

Great video! Nice design. I really need to get a table saw for this build... tempting.... ;) Keep the videos coming!

[@BradyHommel]

Keep your eye on marketplace. I actually got my first table saw for free off of there. It didn't come with a fence but I just clamped down a piece of plywood each time. Not ideal but better than no tablesaw.

[@coffeesleeves]

@@BradyHommel Good point. I will keep an eye out for one there. Too bad I can't stretch the garage workshop to add space. haha!

[@tektrixter]

@@coffeesleeves I used a circular saw before I got my table saw. Kreg makes a track and adapter plate that makes long rip cuts easy with one. I still use it to break down full sheets of plywood. Square crosscuts are easy with a speed square.

[@coffeesleeves]

@@tektrixter Great suggestion. I thought about giving that a try. Could that track be used to make long rip cuts on a thin piece though? I have a feeling it could be tricky to be consistent and "confident" making that sort of cut. I didn't check the price of the "Kreg" piece yet, but have a feeling the cost could be up there...

Yes they will vary a little bit. But generally speaking they are on average 5/8" I have gotten a couple that have been as thin as a half inch to as thick as 3/4" most are 5/8 tho

[@jonathanfannin3974]

Great Planter Design! I was wondering where you got your branding iron from?

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks I actually use a laser engraver. I used to have a branding iron but changed logos. Plus a laser engraver is much more versatile. When I did use branding irons tho I ordered one from Gearhart industry. Then a 2nd one from Amazon. Amazon was way cheaper and worked just as good. I actually may get another one because the brands are faster.
