Lovely, simple design, Wes. Would it not be much simpler and faster to make all those cuts on a bandsaw? Just space your fence 3/4" from the blade and set a 1 1/2" block past the blade to be able to cut, flip, cut, rotate, cut, flip, cut. Then trim off the ends. Seems it would eliminate the curved blade kerf issues and the "tabs" you have to grind down. Just a thought. Thanks for a great idea!
@PaganWizard9 ай бұрын
It sure would be A LOT faster, simpler, and most importantly, SAFER. If someone doesn't have a bandsaw, an simple jig saw or even a hand saw would be acceptable options. Another acceptable option would be to use a dado stack, or just use the standard blade to make crosscuts, sliding the piece of wood after each pass of the saw's blade. I certainly wouldn't be willing to make those cuts on a table saw, and I have been using table saws for decades.
@supermankent10419 ай бұрын

The planter box you have shown was great and very easy to build. I expanded your design a bit. My wife wanted a taller planter box, 36 inches tall. She wants the flowers to sit above the railing on our deck. It was pretty easy to adapt. After building one, I came across some ideas that I thought I would run past you. Obviously, the size of the table saw blade makes a big difference in the shape of the side cuts for the fingers on the end. I cut about 1/8" short of the 1-1/2" line. Initially, the corners came out looking great, perfectly square....until I started chamfering the edges. That's when that little square hole in the corner appeared. I believe my saw blade was smaller than yours. To avoid that issue, couldn't you use a tenoning jig and square up those cuts. Take the cut right to the line. This would also allow you to easily select one side over the other for displaying purposes. In chamfering the edges, I found it much easier to do the work on my router table. I set my fence such that the front of the bearing was 3/4" away from the fence face. Chamfering the end of each finger was challenging, even with a small trim router. However, it was much easier once I built a 90 degree jig that held the workpiece vertically at a 90 degree angle to the table surface. Between the 90 degree jig and the fence, the workpiece was perfectly aligned going through the chamfering bit. I did make one mistake, though. In my zeal to see how everything looked and fitted together, I ripped four side pieces to the 1-1/2" dimension, lengthwise to create the gap fillers. I knew that I simply could not cut them in-half as each of the gap fillers would be slightly less than the 1-1/2" dimension required to create a level top and bottom surface. I did this before chamfering these four side pieces. That was my mistake. That made chamfering impossible. I ended up having to make 4 new side pieces , complete with chamfering, as replacement parts, for the gap fillers. The first unit came out great. I plan on using my homemade tenoning jig to make the next one. (My wife wanted two). I'll let you know how it turns out. Thank you. It was a fantastic project.

Yes. You cannot simply cut a piece in half becuase the keft on the saw blade leave the new half piece too shallow and requires scabbing in a strip at the bottom to bring it up to hieght, which, in fact, is what I had to do. Must say that it worked OK that way. Measurments and cuts are beyond critical for this build. Have4 a sharp chisel handy when you go to assemble becuase4 you will need to do some depth adjustments to get the corners fitting snuggly.

4:20 If you have a tenon cutting jig, you can use it to make these cuts a lot cleaner, and a lot safer as well. Using a tenon cutting jig will also allow you to make all four cuts (with the grain) on each piece, WITHOUT having to reset your fence, and without worrying about having to hide the place where you had to make a previous cut. There are countless videos here on KZbin that show you how to build one for your shop, often times, they can be made with scrap pieces of lumber. One last note, I think you said that you used construction grade 2x4s from your big box store to build this, I would suggest looking just a little bit deeper, to where they're selling 2x4 and 2x6 ceder. It's very close in price to the common SPF construction lumber that you used here, but ceder is weather resistant, and it looks a lot nicer. As for finishing projects like this, teak oil is always the way for me, it gives the wood a very nice warm glow. In the Spring when I take them out of the garage, I give them a quick pressure wash, let them sit in the sun for 2 or 3 days to completely dry, wipe on another coat of teak oil, and they look great for the entire warm weather season. I really like the way this turned out, and it's a lot stronger than any of the other planters I've seen.

I've followed on from your bird nest box video and for a finish may I suggest recycling used engine oil from cars when they have an oil change? A friend of mine has an old van that runs on diesel so he passes me the used oil when he's had an oil change and I'm running low so I can use it to treat my fence, planters and recycle bin storage shed. We all know oil repels water and once it soaks in and dries, nothing rubs off (no resideue!) and it lasts for months and months. It's black to start with but once it fades you get the wood grain show through and it slowly fades to dark green over time. Totally free resource.

Wes, The building process and design are great. As you said the box will be outside, I'm thinking, untreated pine timber may not be the best material. All the timber could be treated and dressed. Also as you using a standard pot with drain holes, water could leach into the pine inside the box. You also haven't stated what the base will be made off. To assist in preventing damage to the base, I suggest as an option, use a small space hot dipped galvanized reinforcing mesh. Any water leakage from the pot will flow straight through the mesh. It's a matter of fixing the mesh to the box.

Nice design of a planter box, and well presented. I do like the details but why first remove the default round-over by a 1/4 of an inch to square them up, and then finish all boards with a 1/4 inch chamfer again. You could save over an inch on height by just chamfering the original width of the board (which wasn't actually 2x4 to start with . . .) So 5 times a 2x4 (should make 20 inch in my head) results in just 15 inch of height.

For me, the most difficult part of this job is setting the saw precisely so that the slots on the ends overlap,exactly. If they don’t, the job will be rubbish. I Wouk imagine quite a lot of trial and error is needed to achieve that. Especially on a table saw where you have to set the fence position TWICE. I’m going to try this piece as it looks very nice but I’m going to use a band saw which only requires one set up for both sides and looks nicer because I won’t have that blade over run on the inner side of the planter. As an aside, you are very luck in the USA with wood prices. There is no way at all in the UK we could make that for the equivalent of $20.

Excellent video Wes. Some of my plastic planters are cracking from UV degradation. I dont want to replace them with more plastic, its like you were reading my mind. There's some nice wood grain, shame to cover it so maybe a translucent finish like the linseed oil. The wife ordered more? Thats more you'll have to plant too.😄

The planter looks awesome Wes! I'm going to have to make a few now! Don't let the wife look over your shoulders when watching this video, you may regret it!
