Build your own Tall Wood Planters

Here's an fast and inexpensive way to build your own tall wood planters! Tapered, modern design, build in five different heights! Free plans: www.ana-white....

[@ORIGINALSECRETSCRATCHER]

So glad I found your videos last year. I used this exact tutorial this past year and was able to sell 25 of these for $149 per planter. I had one customer come back after buying 2 of them and she bought 8 more as Christmas gifts. I can now make one of these in just about 3 hours so it only takes me a week to do10 of them. Thank you so much for making my hobby so profitable. My wife and I are now able to buy our first house.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That is so great to hear, thanks for sharing!

[@ButtercupCreationz]

Wow!! That is fantastic!! I live in Arkansas! I just moved here last year from Clearwater and I would love to be able to do that. I’m going to really get on the ball and get focused on this one craft! I think it could be the most profitable for me. ❤ Thank you for commenting! That means so much for the creator and it means a lot to the other watchers as well. I appreciate your comment!!

[@kurnal1983]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@81CoroneR81]

I like seeing women in the shop. You're inspiring other women to get into the hobby. More people woodworking means more cool ideas for everyone to build! These planters are next on my list. Thanks!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

I appreciate that, happy building!

[@mandyleeson1]

I love the way you’re always thinking about how to make things easier, affordable and achievable for ordinary people like me. Thank you Ana.❤️

[@michaelkline4800]

Wow. Just wow. Watched a few other videos on the same planter and your process cut the time down probably by four. Thanks for a great video!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for the visit!

[@secretwoodproject]

I did a set of 4 of these this weekend. I did glue the 1x2 and 1x3 as well as nailed them. Thank you for sharing this video. I was doing them so different and taking over 4 hours to make the cuts. This allowed me to make all four in 4 hours. You Rock.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That's amazing, if you feel like sharing some photos, you may email them to [e-mail]!

[@secretwoodproject]

@@AnaWhiteDIY will do. Thank you.

[@jamesconstantine3328]

I like the way this gal thinks. I followed plans from another planter building site and each cut had to be made separately. She just simplified this. Who say's woman can't be logical. You Go Girl.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you, I appreciate you!

[@aaronbevan8139]

I’ve followed two Ana White projects and both have turned out so darn good:) I love her “build, share, repeat” philosophy. I’m here to give her credit. Thank you Ana.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@juliusjanardhanseptimus352]

I'm a 1st time DIYer. Loved your video as the planter looks doable. What I liked was your presentation and the steps to follow that went along without any dramas or overt selling. There was one comment from somebody that did not like the nailer. But I do realise that nailers are quicker and save time. However, wood screws can also be used with the same outcome.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you and yes there are many methods for building the same project:)

[@davenuthals]

Holy cow, we did this! Thank you, Ana. I didn’t think we had the skills to make this but we did. So cheap and pretty easy.

[@scotthancock6764]

I’m a pretty good wood worker and I would have never thought to make these the way you did. Great work!

[@diymumzy8064]

I have a similar KZbin channel if anybody is interested. I encourage all of you to come and check it out. feedback is welcome if you enjoy please hit that subscribe button and comments so that I can welcome you to the family

[@JAG1762]

I built two of the smaller planters. It took me a day and half for each. For me it's definitely intermediate because I'd never attempted this before now. I tried the circular saw with the boards attached, and destroy the boards, so I purchased more cedar picket fences, (glad I didn't get the more expensive boards without dog ears), and put the boards together and used my Dewalt miter saw. It was awkward but it was spot on for the angles. I purchased the 5 1/2 x 6 cedar pickets with dog ears and trimmed them off and still had a lot of board to work with and remaining. After completing and sanding the planter, it looked so good! Now need to decide what kind of plants to put in them for the summer. Christmas will be Christmas trees!

[@randyman8984]

what plank size did you make? The 4 board size like in this video??

[@TSD0416]

Amazingly beautiful. I wish KZbin had a Gold Star button so I could give you a Gold Star for this easy to do tutorial. I can't wait to head to Home Depot tomorrow and start this project.

[@chuckf4333]

Yes she is ....

[@ruthejimenez]

Results are very pretty. Definitely a great trick to get the tapered look in less time. And no expensive miter saw used. Thank you for making the project mire attractive by simplifying the process.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for the visit Ruth!

[@DoverDanny]

When I worked in the plant nursery industry I learned how make this by making a pattern or mold on top of a table, this idea is useful. Thank you

[@aristotleasis867]

This is so clever, easy, affordable. I have 4 of your Adirondacks already and everybody just loves them. I think these planters are next in line. Cheers!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Wonderful!

[@michaelwilliams7031]

This is by far the fastest method to build planters. Only thing different I would is to put a cap at the top. Very well done

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad you like it, great idea for the top!

[@CardiacCat]

Wow... Excellent thinking outside the box (no pun intended). This is really the most simple user friendly DIY planter boxes I've seen. Love the simplified approach and other than the top bevel, it's just as beautiful as others I've seen that use miter saws and such. For anyone wanting to try this, Harbor Freight has a $35 Drillmaster 7 1/4" circular saw that has an adjustable "rip fence" so that you can make those long cuts next to the wood easily. I'm going to try a couple of these boxes to go out beside my garage door.

[@randyman8984]

Interesting. I have a harbor freight skill saw at home, how do i know if my saw has this feature?

[@CardiacCat]

@@randyman8984 If you have a metal bar that came with your saw that has a cross piece on it like a T square, and you tossed it aside because you didn't think you needed it, go back and look again. It slides into the bottom of the saw and locks down to create an edge guide. There would be a small square hole just under the saw plate if you look at it from the side. That's where the guide slides in. If yours has it.

[@FlatlandMando]

Ahh, Ana, the woman of my dreams! I did not know that my woodworking layout could be improved if I only did quilting beforehand. Nice approach & "must try" the way you do it.

[@gillianbc]

Love the way you used a quilt cutting technique in wood. That made perfect sense to me.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lchase7858]

Thank you, i don't have a mitre saw, but i have a circular saw...now i can build planters. Ty

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great!

[@kellireece6348]

Gah! Ana!!!! I think I've told you before, but you are brilliant. Your planters came out gorgeous! What an inspiration you are! Beautiful job, sis!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Just brilliant, Ana. The way you executed this plan was simply brilliant. Just when I think you can’t outdo yourself, you do! Thank you for the plans. I will be making a couple. Love them!!! Happy Mother’s Day!!! 💐

[@susanchristensen1500]

Wow so easy, I'm making some from a work bench we took apart in the garage. That's perfect 😊

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That's a great idea!

[@susanchristensen1500]

@AnaWhiteDIY Question, I have these huge hexagon tiles, I'd like to make a planter out of them, any ideas how to make sure they don't come apart- I'm putting outside by front door

[@terriejohnson7861]

Love the planter project. I love the way you made it simple with less cuts and easy for those of us who have limited tools. thank you

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@laniec.f.2531]

You, my virtual woodworking Goddess, never cease to amaze me. I have been watching you for a number of years and am continually impressed at your humbleness, your sweetness, and your ingenuity. Many of us truly appreciate you and, as well, are extra grateful that you share bits of your famiy life. Blessings to you and your family. 🌺🌺 PS: I absolutely love the look and the simplicity of these planters.

[@christinefeucht8668]

I could see these planters sealed/stained the same color as my shutters. For me sage green. Thanks soo much for sharing

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That would look pretty!

[@donaldp9259]

I'm glad I saw this before I started on the other plan I was about to build. It required the same type and qty. of material, but the construction technique required a ton of exterior pocket screws. This plan is simpler, faster by far, a quite a bit less expensive....and no less functional. Thanks!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Happy to help Donald, thanks for the visit!

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

You must have watched the same one I just did. $6 in wood, but about 50 pocket screws and maybe a half day of work, at least for me 🤣. Love that channel but this build is so much easier and will certainly take a lot less time.

[@BlondeExplorer1]

So nice to see more women working with wood and power tools. This is so awesome. I plan on making a few of these when it is cooler. (Right now in Texas at 7am the feels like temperatures are 90+). Thank you for posting. I hope to learn more from you. 😀

[@barbararadka5597]

Ingenious! I'll be using these for my dwarf citrus trees! Thank you!!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great!

[@Abettorman]

Thank you! I was looking for inspiration to complete my wife's request: This was perfect! I gave you credit and will be perusing your channel for other inspiration!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Wonderful, so happy to help!

[@rchavez5056]

Pure genius. Great freaking job Ana.

[@cats.9675]

Well you make this look easy but I think you have a lot more experience than I do. I do have table saw, mitre saw, jig saw and nailer but I am afraid of that circuare saw.....I will have to practice or get my son to that part LOL! I am going to try it. Thank you for the video. It is really good and so are you! So Kudos to you Ana!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You can do it!

[@tricia8727]

Looks great! I could see putting a bottom on and rollers... maybe painting and using for large indoor house plants? I love it!

[@LoneWolf-yp2mo]

AHHHhhhhh YES ! And Cedar smells so nice every time you wet it !! Good idea !!

[@4ernoku4e]

Thank you Ana for sharing this project

BEAUTIFUL - BOTH the planters and the creator.

[@Stepwel4two]

Very good, I have seen these built before, but your method is outstanding.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you very much!

[@Lobo59470]

You solved my problem with a false bottom! Thank you

[@mmarte1622]

That project looks great Ana!! Happy Mother's day!!!

[@lisaschreiber2893]

super excited to try these! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.

[@AL-ru3nk]

Wish i had workshop like this. Wish i had the tools to be able to make my own stuff. Great job they look amazing. Ive never seen pots like this before

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you very much!

[@jsmxwll]

What a clever way of doing the cuts. Great job! I love when people bring ideas from other crafts into a new one.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Glad you liked it!

[@sylvester-rockytarver1616]

That’s extremely impressive and so smart! Very well delivered and explained. Beautifully executed, I’m now stuck binge watching your channel 😆 I Love wood working, I greatly appreciate the plans. 🙏 thank you.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you and welcome to our channel!

[@tro8191]

Ohhh like quilting, now I get it Ana! 😉 totally kidding. Luv how you did the ‘group cuts’, sooo smart! Another perfect design!!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you!

[@heesanoice7637]

I actually LIKE that you didn't double bevel those corner cuts. It's a better look and gives the planter more dimension. You made it look less mechanical and boxy while still being mechanical and boxy !!

[@dngriffiths8105]

You have a special talent -- both for design and for teaching. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you very much!

[@shelleynobleart]

Ms. White, this method is genius.

[@jay3035]

I've been scratching my head of how to build something like that for so long. Until I watched your video. Thank you so much for sharing the plan. It's a life saver. Thanks Ana.

[@californialove5973]

Beautiful planters! Happy Mother's Day, Ana! 🌷

[@CatherineMellon]

Thanks for this! I'm jsut getting into wood working! Your skills are so.impressive.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You can do it!

[@crafts_avenue]

I like how down to earth are you, and did I mention how easy to follow your tutorials are? . only the double bevel was a bit of rough experience for me when I tried to make the stools. but well I'm still on it. so thanx a bunch.

[@Jimbo234GW]

I made my first 5 boards high. It is not 100% perfect for my first try. I finished it with dark walnut danish oil inside and out. I put little plastic feet on it and set it on a 14x14 paver outside at the corner of my driveway. Looks beautiful. I did not sand it, left it rough. Let it soak up the Danish oil heavily and has a great rough rustic look to it.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That is awesome!

[@qnguyen9329]

I am a decent wood worker and I learn a couple of techniques from you today. Thank you!

[@DIGOLOGIST]

I will be building those. I just sold 6 pine and 1 cedar planters. it was a Matthew Peech design. Thanks for sharing. These will be much easier.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That's great, have fun!

[@robertevans6481]

With a little modification they would make a cool raised planting bed...thanks for the idea. They look great,and yes ceder is the choice here..

Woodworking is the fun part, designing is the tricky part but worth it in the end.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for the visit!

[@aarondonaldson4164]

Couple comments: I would stain the boards before I cut them to speed up that process, and touch up the cut ends afterward. Also filling the bottom with styrofoam packing peanuts takes up a large amount of space with very little weight penalty! Great video! And what an easy project!

[@sueschultz9358]

First of all Happy Mother's day!..I absolutely love this design. It really looked easy enough for me to do it!

Thanks Ana. Great build!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]
