Build a Planter Box | Hexagon & Treated Wood

This is a planter box diy. I built this in the shape of hexagon. I plan on using this planter box for flowers.
I used five 2x6 and three 1x6 deck boards and one box of Kreg screws. Really not to complicated for planter box at all. Thanks for watching!

That's amazing Mitch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MitchellDeitrich]

BOOM ..... and the first gets pinned! Thanks Lou ;)

[@Yourtrashmytreasure]

Awesome! Your welcome, keep making amazing things.

[@oflores7457]

Staining one side in my opinion is ok since the wood can dry on the sides not covered so great job

[@ladykenja2700]

- VERY nicely done. Thanx 4 sharing.

[@captaing5166]

Really nice job.

[@erikjohnson2889]

Man, that's beautiful, bro!

[@mikeeldridge637]

I will be building one of those !! Nice job dude.

[@ShogunJimi]

awesome work - that thing should hold together for a long time. This is perfectly timed for the season.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Thanks Jimi!

[@euniaturnbull3112]

Beautiful

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Super nice project and a great video Mitch!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

hey, hey! thank you!

[@AK_Vortex]

Awesome! and all hail Pocket Holes! I love them too... and maybe a little glue.

[@JustFoolingAround]

It's beautiful!! Great video too!!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Thank you!

[@danielsolowiej]

Nice to see your nice router table working in a project. Very good work with angles there. I liked the fun and happy format of the video too :)

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Thanks Daniel. lol being positive is a goal of mine. sometimes it just feels weird talking to a camera.

[@Woodcraftedworkshop]

Great project Mitch! Great edits too!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Thanks man means a lot!

[@robertevans6481]

What twin Mitch's and twin routers.....mind blown....great planter box...

[@MitchellDeitrich]

lol cool thank you

[@cleokey]

Very, very nicely done, should last for years and look good as well. I need to build something like this to put some good size cactus in. I may drill a few hole in the bottom to allow water to drain and then for good measure put three casters on the bottom so I can move it around the patio as needed. Great job!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

+Alan Pinho oh I like the caster idea! Good thinking :)

[@andyburns5197]

As many have already said, Great Job.

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Nice job on the planter Mitch, nice job on the video too!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Thanks you Bob! lol kinda like my helper... (but sometimes we disagree)

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Mitch Just take him out behind the garage and beat the sh?,.,t out of him 😂😂😂😂😂!!!!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Bob Lee's Woodshop haha lol!!!!!

[@Arcade-tm2ck]

Hahaha i thought that was your friend and just realised almost in the end of the video it was you all the time on your own 😂😂😂😂

[@nickhardiman2142]

Hi Mitch Love this fun video and planter looks excellent. I've made a bigger version of the square planter you done and it came out really well. Thanks for that 👍. I fancy having a go at doing a couple of these hexagonal ones now🤞. One small thing can you say the lengths of the stock as well as the widths and heights. Cheers 😎

[@ManCrafting]

Great job. I don't know why, but the body double camera effect is always so cool to me. Probably because I've never tried it. Keep it up.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

thanks dude! yeah I like to try to mix things up. I lot of time things don't work. but it just takes practice I guess.

[@WildmanTech]

Good build man!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

+Wildman Tech Thank you! I had fun with this one ;)

[@luant12345]

wow it's actually huge :) didn't seem that big on the thumbnail. great job! cheers ✌🍻

[@MitchellDeitrich]

lol thank you!

[@KostasAnnikasDeftereos]

nice work bro !! I really enjoy it !!!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

+Kostas Annikas Deftereos Thanks Annikas!

[@trinawingfield4444]

This rocks wish you could make me one for my curio cabinet...it's really short...and it needs a little more height...same shape...your really talented... awesome job

[@lloydpgulston3041]

I am a first timer wood worker. Just invested in large sum of money in tools. For my first project, I want to build a planter box like the one who did in this video, but I need to learn the tools and the router bits. It would help also if the video was not speeded up for newbies like myself. Be that as it may, a very good video and planter box

[@opasworkshop8373]

that turned out awesome Mitch now you need to make another one just like it and then put a connecting bench in between them just an idea for u.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

oh thats a good idea Opa! Thanks

[@africancichlids3011]

Nice job

[@MitchellDeitrich]

+African Cichlids thanks!

[@tooljunkie555]

nice work mitch..the shelf wood have been cool ..cool edits

[@MitchellDeitrich]

thanks Joe! you better get in gear with those corn hole boards!

[@tooljunkie555]

Mitch Deitrich always bro India takes about an hour set to make luckily I don't have to paint them yet some custom vinyl graphics being put on there that's a big Time Saver but he does when all the edges rounded over and Edge banded so that sucks LOL it's going to pay a few off a few bills so I can't turn it down..lol

[@MitchellDeitrich]

totally dude! did you ever finish your router table? I know you had some water issues

[@tooljunkie555]

Mitch Deitrich a lot of the 2x4 lumber I was going to use got wet come to find out so I could have done to size to fit in the window my table saw kind of sucks but never left them on the ground

[@tooljunkie555]

But now I know everything on my number just in case

[@murphsworkshop4214]

Nice project, really nice shots! Later, Murph

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Cool Thanks Murph!

[@margaritistakiskailos]

Great project Mitch! I like your edit very detailed! Say hi to the "twin brother" Mitch No2!

[@MitchellDeitrich]

lol thanks man!

[@tooljunkie555]

i could use a helper in my shop..i got 8 sets of corn hole games i have to build b4 ju e 1st..haha!.and hey if p.h. work the w.e. works and is quicker and easy for ya..

[@JWAM]

Fantastic, Mitch! Looks really nice! I saw some pro tell in a video that screwing into the middle of the board is bad news in the long run. When the wood moves, it will eventually split there. Let me know at the end of the year if any have done that. :)

[@MitchellDeitrich]

You know when i did the first one I actually thought about that, second guessed it later. And tried to ad another screw but yeah........ Totally agree! thanks man!

[@justgriffiths8124]

Is Thompson water seal safe for gardens? Thanks!

[@meadvino]

i noticed that the build does not include a bottom. what did you do to deal with this??

[@michaelwould]

Do you have plans for it? like all the cuts/numbers I like this a lot and would like to make a lot of smaller ones.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

Thanks! Sorry no plans. Just the video.

[@markk3504]

Your written description is backward up above. You need, per your video, five 1x6 and three 2x6. Right?

[@coreygunter4787]

How do i figure the lenths of the boards between the legs for a certain size I'm trying to get?

[@MitchellDeitrich]

I would wait till you get to that part before cutting them. Then you can just measure and find out. I hope that helps. If you mean board width, just divide total width between legs by the number of boards you want to use.

[@coreygunter4787]

Mitch Deitrich building the same thing just smaller. Going to put a 36g hexagon aquarium on it.. one side measures 11.5 inches

[@MultiFresd]

topp

[@MitchellDeitrich]

cool!

[@elliottpeabody1287]

"The wife" needs to decide...

[@capitainehaddock9388]

At 1:09, please use a pair of push sticks. Those fingers might be useful to clean your nose🤥 And btw, nice box, nice job and nice video.

[@MitchellDeitrich]

+Capitaine Haddock right on & thank you!

[@doylemetzinger1774]

Splendidly to see Woodglut have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.

[@creektilghman9187]

I will try to do it with Woodbex plans.

[@robertsmith3518]

Question,,,, It's Dec 2020 ,How many fingers do you still have ? I started to watch the Vid but when you decided to use your hand as a push stick , That sez your fool and I quit watching ,
