I recently made two of these planters, according to your plans, and they turned out fantastic. Now all of my friends and family members want them.

[@briana171994]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@warrenbaker4124]

Such a nice, concise and super useful vid!!! I have watched it a number of times and now finally I have two plants that need a bigger, but very nice looking home - so I will make two magnificent pots using your kind instructions and my home will be better for it. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!!!

[@haesge61]

This is a great video. Just the important details! No time waste watching the paint dry and so on. And a great project. Congrats, your in my top 3 videos. :-)

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Thank you so much! 😎 You made my day! I'm working hard to get these videos out and i really love when people give feedback. I always try to go directly to the goal, no down time, and i think most people like that this way! Awesome you like it! 😆

[@leehelmick4065]

I loved this video! Concise yet thorough. Thank you for sharing. I can visualize many modifications with your technique!! Mucho Thanks!!!

I actually enjoyed that first person I’ve seen giving measurements. Thanks

[@bosscop8615]

Great performance! Absolutly the best video how to built a wooden planter here on yt. Thank you.

[@MeliaJanae]

I love this design! I built a planter from cedar last time and I'm ready to add another planter

[@SEBTECHDIY]

That's awesome! Really happy to hear that! 😍 Share it on my instructable once it's done! 😁

[@janhermanek2159]

I was pleasantly surprised about your attention to details, geotextile around the drain pipe? = superb idea. Fold the plastic into a square? = wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration

Can't wait for more DIY videos! Just started working on your DIY Cyclone Dust Collector Cart yesterday.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

[@JacanaProductions]

Great built! I wonder how this will hold up over the years? Treated lumber may be better perhaps but I know it's more expensive harder to work with. Perhaps line it with some type of rubberized paint or something? I built some long planters 5 years ago and although I used treated lumber for the sides I think the bottoms were not and they are slowly rotting but every year. They are the centerpiece of our deck - the secret her in CO is to water the plants 3 times a day with built in drip irrigation! Flowers from May to Nov!

[@BronkBuilt]

Look great. When I've made them, I simply put the pot in the box.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Sounds great! 😄 But in my case, the roots did not have enough space in the pot so at the same time i repotted the palm.

[@cdv.8244]

WOW so nice 😁

[@elaineburroughs5471]

J’adore comment tu ajoutes des « h » au début de certains mots et tu les retires du début d’autres: on reconnaît ainsi l’anglais avec l’adorable accent québécois!

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Haha oui effectivement! 😂 Pas toujours facile avec l'accent québécois! Quand je fait mes voice over en matinée c'est plus facile que quand je les fait a 9h le soir, mais surtout je parle jamais l'anglais au quoditien ( travail/famillle ) beaucoup plus difficile de garder le rythme. J'ai surtout hate d'être plus a l'aise a trouver mes mots pour parler directement devant la caméra on dirait que sa me retient encore! 😅

[@DanStratocaster1]

Nylon furniture glides on the bottom are great to keep the wood off of the ground. The wood won’t soak up moisture.

[@beagru5706]

C😎😻L 👍🐾💐merci pour ce video 🍀🌻

[@JohnnyGarton]

Nice planters, very simple. Curious though couldn’t you make all the rows exactly the same and just flip them over? Edit: I commented before watching the entire video, it’s a very nice design, I like the plastic liner.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Hey! at the beginning I did it like this to realize that each row was the same I had no alternation, instead of having the end of the piece alternating left and right on each row, the ends of the boards were all one above the other in the same column. I hope to explain it well lol

[@janred94]

How is that drill guide tool called? And how do you call those holes? :D Very nice video, and nice wood! I am thinking about building something like this or hexagonal out of rough roof batten, since thats pretty affordable with the current wood prices in Germany.

[@josegomez7051]

Pocket hole jig.

[@amwartwork]

no need for pocket holes. just attatch a piece of 2x2 on the ends. do this for 2 sides. any holes you make on the outside if using screws can be filed with gluey sawdust. then stain the whole thing. these small circles give it character

[@kevind.7200]

Great video, bad plan. Where did you buy your mini-drill that fits inside this thing? I've got 24 cut pieces and can't use my drill inside to assemble them because a dewalt cordless is waaay too long to fit inside. I'll have to modify your plan to do anything... or buy different tools.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Hey Kev. My drill is an old 12v hitachi, most 12v drill are small enough to fit inside or any impact driver should fit inside too. You could also buy a 90 degree adapter for your drill it could work too. Sorry if plan is not the best, i'll sure try to to better the next time. What is particular you didn't like? Did you also check my instructables it's a step by step guide with pictures it may be easier to follow than my video, you can check it out here : www.instructables.com/DIY-Modern-Planter-Box-Made-With-2x4s/ , hope it help! 😉

[@pdstokes8]

This is just what I've been looking for as we need to re-house one of our Acer plants that has outgrown its current planter.

[@TheRoseofasia]

Thank you for the shared and how much cost for the box?

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Depends, right now 2x4 is overpriced, but in normal time, it's around 20 buck for wood and screws for 1 planter box. I already had the plastic liner and geotextile so I saved on this part, it was the same thing for the wood stain, it was leftovers from my bed frame. 😊

[@MrKhurramshahzaeb]

I got a crazy idea from watching this. I can make this but much larger and on the exterior walls I can add porcelain marble tile 30x30 on all 4 sides

[@Free_Falastin2024]

What kind of DIY uses all those specialized, expensive tools? I love the project but this is an expensive one.

[@0xiah]

What will you do with the drain pipe when you move it inside?

[@SEBTECHDIY]

We did this last winter, i simply put them on a shoes tray. But the trick is to water them regularly so you'll never have water through that drain. When they are on my deck, i care less and put the hose directly in the planter box. 😄

[@giseliapereira5914]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@garylinney8156]

And for those who don't own every power tool known to man .

[@Cosmicmiind]

Name of the plant please btw very nice video

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Thank you! :) Those are Cataractarum palm , you could also look for Majesty Palm, they sold these in big box stores. I bring them inside in the winter because it's freezing cold here in Canada lol

[@cardinalrule4652]

About how much soil can this hold at once?

[@SEBTECHDIY]

The inside is 12x12x12 ( 1 cubic feet ) but you don't fill to the top so maybe 10" of soil inside. Overall it's less that 1 cubic feet of soil.

[@nigelhale1865]

Couldn't you square up the edges before you cut them to size!

[@vailmtl7773]

Est-ce que je reconnais un petit accent québécois?? Beau projet btw

[@jacobsjam1]

Hope you get round 2 3 hundred bucks for these. Lot of work

You could do it with a hammer and nails, but the result might be slightly different! 😆

[@markedward8639]

I counted 90 screws! That's almost $20. Plus the 4 2x4's at somewhere around $3. Plus stain and plastic. And time. That's an expensive box.

[@michaelwillcutt2619]

Unless there cedar two by for will be to heavy

[@supermankelly]

Be easier too clue it.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Yes sure it is an option, i was just not sure how well they would hold up outside using just glue, plus all outdoor glue i find needs to be clamped for 24 hours, in my case having screws acting like clamps was my solution. I did pocket hole but you could use simple 3.5 inch screws all through two 2x4 👊

[@Kodiak727]

cost? $25 dollars for supply and $500 for labor.

[@mohaimenkazi9787]

Bro.....waterproof glue would have better imo

[@ryed8118]

I was thinking that. Great design though. I think I'll incorporate both pocket holes and glue into mine if I do this

[@traceypotts9425]

Looked ok till he used a pocket hole jig this is meant to be cheep lost interest straight away turned it off what a joke

[@Mrniceguy2209]

why not just buy the wood the size you want it to be, instead of thinning down the 4 inch lengthways...crazy.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Price .. White Pine ( already square ) is 19.99$ CND per piece for a 2x4x8 while a rough 2x4x8 was around 4$ each ( or around that price ) when I made them.

[@allanfischer9417]

It looks like a great outcome. What really helps me is a clear, concise , logical, sequential narrative to accompany the video. Unfortunately, this ain’t it.
