Good video.Result of hard work. Give your valuable comments to improve our channel thank you. Stay connected and stay blessed

[@ciaran8144]

Really good stuff! If I could offer some advice though, it's not a good idea to have a glove on your left hand whilst using a drop saw...in a mishap your skin will rip and hopefully you will pull away. A glove on the other hand will catch and pull your hand into the saw. I don't mean to patronise but I can't see that and not say something. Hoping this is recieved well. Cheers. Ciarán

[@sammylowring5877]

Please send me plans on the planter I really love how that looks thanks sammy Lowring 1804 Lee st bossier city louisiana 71112

[@mrtrek64]

You guys who have a nice space to enjoy projects like this should NEVER take it for granted. What I would give to have work area like this....Great video :)

[@xmchillin]

This is absolutely, the most professionally done channel on you tube...Clear, concise, and to the point...

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

[@rm709]

I get so excited when a new video pops up!!! My mother is going to love this. I've done a planter box around our standing bird feeder and a garden bridge. She just keeps adding to the list thanks to you Brad! Awesome job! :)

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@kierrabarr9219]

My mom was just talking about needing a planter to grow her bell peppers and this is perfect. Plus free plans! Today can’t get any better!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Have fun with it!

[@jeffchisholm2769]

I came across your video while looking for a planter box to build at my wife's request. This one checks all the boxes. Beautiful job and very functional.

[@ashleygambrill4508]

That's a real work of art, I admire your carpentry skills! Great step by step video too, there's a lot of steps but the outcome is incredible!

[@juliansymonds]

Question for you: now that you are a year in would you mind commenting on how your drainage system is working?

[@edithf2725]

God bless you, amazing job probably the best video I’ve seen to make one of these. You’ve explained everything very nicely not confusing whatsoever and with the water spout that just finishes up the job perfectly it’s like a work of art thank you again for your video.

[@sandylerew5699]

Thanks! My mom loved the box for Mother's Day!

[@papitomadera1317]

Love the way you showed your mistake and how are you repaired it

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I make enough that I have to share :)

[@FigmentsMade]

Now that's a nice planter! You're right. That spar urethane really warms up the cedar.

[@construction-productscemen4935]

Great work as always. Thank you for guidance.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

You're welcome!

[@greenkitty6482]

I like the PVC thing for drainage, such a smart idea!! Thanks for sharing : )

[@ryanmcintyre588]

I just built one of these with my girlfriend. She’s been planting so much, I modified the dimensions to make it bigger and since it’s going on our balcony with minimal drainage, I added a bucket/tray holder for the water to drain into and not get all over our floor.

[@johnmarcustaylor]

bought the plans, am nearly finished, but also adding a side handle, couple of wheels and a place to store a few garden tools. great project. great plans. keep up the good videos.

[@paulinocosta2849]

Perfect , congratulations brother, beautiful project!

[@torstenhansen4308]

Excellent idea for drainage, just what I was looking for! Thank you.

[@MakeThings]

Brad Brad the family man. Love it bro...and creating something that both you and your kids can spend time with is absolutely the best life can give you. Gave me a good smile at the end. Happy father's day and great project.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Rob!

[@OSODIY]

Great job Brad. Came out looking great. Really like the warm glow of the finish

[@edacevedo7746]

I liked that . Chamfers make a nice piece great. I always route edges.... chamfers, round overs, beads... I think I'll make one. Thanks....

[@RheRheSmily]

I like that you changed your mind and fixed it. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Jay91Byrd]

This brought me so many little tips and gave me a good walkthrough on something I am interested in building. Awesome vid.

[@ikust007]

Totally agree with your système for the water drainage and the plastic side covering.

[@patrickhomans971]

The chamfer bit just became my new best friend. This box is perfect!

[@CuriousCreator]

Really great, spending that bit of extra time picking out the colour patterns really paid off!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

It's the little details that always make the difference for me

[@summmmmmable]

Excellent description and camera angle. Thank you

[@MrWildapil]

Great build! Excellent video content and construction! I appreciate the free plans. Happy June and Happy Fathers Day!

[@diy-chris1332]

Great! As always! I like the effect, that i actually do not need a planter Box, but in the way you Work it out, is much more Tipps and tricks for other things.......

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Good to hear! Always trying to add a little value for you guys

[@mogisanjaya2645]

Wow.. The colour of the wood, It's really beautiful.. Maybe i will try to build one.

[@StudioJLT]

Well made! Those chamfers make the piece. Amazing how such a small detail makes a piece.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

It's all about the little details

[@ZacJones]

This has to be the best planter box on the internet. I like the look of the wood coupled with the functionality of the drain so your plants don't drown. Thanks for the upload!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you!!

[@8andsk835]

Super generous to give away the plans for this build. Happy fathers day to you sir!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you! Great support from RIDGID 👍👍

[@TheBurtle005]

Looks amazing!!! You just gave me an idea on what to build with a bunch of Cherry boards I just had kiln dried. Thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome, that will look great!

[@josephcampo143]

Love your tools. Great craftmanship. Seems like a lot of work though for a small return of planting a half dozen plants.

[@onlytanofficial]

This raised planter is really nice. Especially if you grow plants in Thailand where the sun is really strong!!

[@beatricea6337]

Simple enough now to try and build it. Great job in explaining each step. Thanks. 😉

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Good luck! You've got this 💪

[@tavosurfs]

Wet towel and an iron, wow that blew my mind. Thanks for the tip bro

[@shawnr771]

Nice build. Drainage system is a cool move. For black plastic 3 mil large construction grade contractors bags will also work really well.

[@loudozer2416]

I made a smaller version of this for my wife... she showed her friends and now i have at least 15 orders of this planter box. A little extra money never hurts. 👍👍👍

[@allysonrogers9701]

Wow. It turned out beautiful.

[@JulianDoIt]

Great build video! You’re explaining very well

[@guitarDad100]

Very nice craftsmanship. I like your drainage idea. Keeping the water off the wood makes the planter last much longer. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

You're welcome!

[@johnthompson3462]

That is one of the best I have seen.Will be building one - or more - of them. Thanks for great video

[@phillipbell7]

I built my planter box and love it. I used pine wood instead of cedar but it looks great! Thanks for the plans!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

You're welcome!

[@otakugisa]

Shouldn't he be thanking you for buying the plans? Lol

[@MakerCuisine]

Very nice build, and I like the drainage solution you came up with, looks really good👍

[@ymcdonald1694]

Thank you for your time, this a great built Keep building...

[@vaughanchapman2930]

My wife is gonna love this!!! Thank you!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Hope she does!

[@holdonitsme]

I have worked with my hands my whole life but; that Iron trick just blew my mind!!!

[@RoxMayberry]

So awesome! You made that look easy lol but i will still attempt to build one! thank youuu for this!

[@M4XD4B0ZZ]

Love your little example in the end it's really wholesome :) also nice project of course

[@Snipercastt]

The best congratulations mister 🖖🇺🇸

[@byMinho]

[@Thom4123]

[@leofrial]

I like your work. Excellent job.

Beautiful job!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yep, just in time for the end of plant of season

[@wb_finewoodworking]

That’s a nice planter with a super idea for the drain.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Appreciate it!

[@bucketofsteam9260]

First time ripping stuff on my table saw and found out the hard way to look out out those loose knots. Got a nice stamp on my forearm from it shooting back at me.

[@amandah7096]

Beautiful

[@mykolashatkovskyi576]

Maaaan, this exact Planter Box building process is frkn best of the subj I've seen on KZbin so far! Thank you! Subscribing and following you.

[@mykolashatkovskyi576]

One question. Does it make sense to replace your wood with the cheapest pine OR even plywood stripes AND cover with some oil or poly protective liquid? Just to make the project cheaper and eligible for multiple repeating? Cause I'm considering to make a sort of Planter Box Garden in my backyard. Wouldn't it be looking cheap with pine/plywood?

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Great job as always! Thanks for the free set of plans! Might need to build one myself soon.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Absolutely! Make sure to tag me if you build it

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Fix This Build That Absolutely! This time I won’t do it in the comments where no one sees it

[@johnnyc563]

Fix This Build That Something happened during my checkout and I could not return to the checkout page to finalize getting the free plans for this project. Can you help with that please? Thanks.

[@Penguinandfishy]

I couldn’t get the plans either. Can you please send to me?

[@Strikeshotz]

Look amazing ❤

[@AmirSoltany]

Ok, I need a bigger one for my trace so I will start with your method and share the result, thanks man

[@sanchez2892]

Super clean

[@woodworking4budgetbuilders397]

Great build. I see lots of possibility's with this project.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

[@Fauxjob]

Impressive production and techniques, wow. This would be awesome filled with ice and a bunch of cold drinks sticking out!

[@keithf5236]

well damn, now i'm making 2 of them, one for my wife and daughter to plant stuff and one for me for cold beverages :)

[@elcrappo2256]

Love the drainage concept. Are there any issues with using the plastic lining causing moisture buildup that will harm the herbs? I know some will drain, but there will not be any air circulation.

[@joymiramontes9051]

Hello! What do you recommend to do for the air circulation? Can I drill holes on the walls maybe?

[@kmsy200]

So beautiful thanks for sharing

[@majidalamri5328]

Great job, well done

[@chrisbaier6252]

beautiful!

[@omermalik4993]

Best planter box yet .....well done ! I'll be doing this but using Domino's rather than pocket hole screws.

[@dennis7511]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@corwind3888]

Your planter box is one of the nicest I've seen on KZbin. And you have done an excellent job with this video. I will be making something like this, but am concerned about expansion and contraction with the sides and legs glued and screwed as you've done. How is your planter holding up?

[@clydedecker765]

Love your designs, work and the videos which are always well done, concise, and complete. Including mistakes. Thumbs up for that too.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Appreicate the feedback, Clyde!

[@johnwicks3546]

Couldn't agree more with Clyde! Definitely one of my favorite channels and always look forward to your videos. Well done Brad!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you, John!

[@Ryan-nt9wg]

THE BEST PLANTER!

[@danielnichols7864]

Great work bro!

[@doxiedonna]

Just found your channel and love this project!! It's perfect for the raised herb garden that I want my husband to build. Is there a certain brand and size of clamps you prefer? I realize they come in various sizes, but what do you recommend for just starting out? I would like to get these for my husband's upcoming birthday since I know he doesn't own any right now.

[@bonniebarber6114]

Well now I have to build one! Great video.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you!

[@lukepeacham9663]

Looks great thank you.
