Making 14" Round Wooden Plant Pot 【木工】14寸圓木花盤製作

I made a big round plant pot from a few 2x4s without a lathe.
For the plant pot, it's important to have the pot well glued and coated. Make sure no open gaps and put 4 to 6 times of coatings.
The pot I made is for flower or small trees, it's not meant to grow any fruit or vegetable on it. Because the coating may release toxic chemicals.

I love it I pick up all sorts of tips by watching videos like this thank you for giving us your time and knowledge .

Amazing work there!

Looks great, nice work.

Nice job man thanks for sharing

[@bkrbkr69]

How did you even matched the grains? Soo cool

[@PapaGleb]

Awesome pot and superb execution.

Papa Gleb, Thank you!

Awesome work!

[@bobbydelaura]

Aloha Victor beautiful work I will give this one a trial I made a bucket for planter wishing well which I cut 15 degree angles on both sides of the redwood pickets I used to make my project I have a bunch of pine 2x4s that are not actually 1.5 x 3.5" because ends are factory bad, so I'll see what width i can get it as straight as possible

[@rogerdelaurentis3728]

Awesome work

[@jeanj9429]

Very nice work. I want to make one too!

[@cds957]

This guy is good!!

Awesome work but I needs a plant!😊

Sensacional

Way too cool.

Bro, Thank you for your support!

[@user-cw5gz4fs3r]

非常好，我也想做一个。

[@TheEleatic]

I started a crowd funding page to buy this man a router, ban saw, and belt sander.

[@nikg3392]

Beautiful. How do you figure out the angle to cut each vertical piece?

[@victorhe7200]

Thank you. I used SketchUp to create a model first.

[@Atheist1001]

Divide 180 by number of pieces.

[@DanielH]

What do you use so it doesn't get affected by humidity?

[@victorhe7200]

I used Minwax spar Urethane. I used on a few of my wooden pot, as long as you seal them well, I don't see any crack or mold. I think you can also use Epoxy Resin as well. Here is the product description: Minwax® Pro Series Spar Urethane is a professional, water-based, crystal clear protective finish that forms a protective barrier against rain, moisture and sunlight.

[@drab31s]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful work. Your math is correct - 78.7 for each side - so why did you need to customize the last piece? Is the customized piece #16 or #17? Thank you for replying.

[@victorhe7200]

Hi Alan, thank you for bring up the question. The last customized piece needed because I couldn't get the exact angle cut. Here are a couple reasons might cause the problem. My tablesaw tabletop and the insert plate are not completely flat, so the angle I measured against the insert and the angle against the tabletop are different. I chose measured again the tabletop because it's more firmed. Also because my tablesaw is just a jobsite saw. It's not very powerful. The force I used to push the wood through was not even. Sometimes the blade will bend slightly that would add up to huge difference. So after cutting all of the pieces with two sided, the gap added up so big.

[@drab31s]

@@victorhe7200 I have the same saw so I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks again.

[@victorhe7200]

​@@drab31s You are welcome!

[@MrXavierwalls]

Looks good but I feel like this would take 3 days to make.

[@invictu4488]

Took me 5 days but even then it was still 20 sided 😅

[@inhtainguyen3444]

Nice! How do you figure out the diameter?

[@victorhe7200]

Thank you. First we need to know what rough diameter we want, then we can Sketchup to create a plan. Because the actual size of 2x4 stud is 1.75x3.75 inches. And after planing will be 1.5x3.5 inches. The 3.5 inches will be the max width for one of the outside edges. We can choose how many edges we need to create a circle in Sketchup. So we can play around the diameter, the edge width, and the edge numbers to see what fit our need.

[@semtex2987]

would have done only 3 legs to prevent wiggle 😉

[@RedHotTopicsNow]

How long did it take you to do this?

[@victorhe7200]

Roughly, three days including the glue drying and the coating.

[@paulocaldas2390]

What angle did you use in your table saw to each piece? Nice job!

[@victorhe7200]

Thank you. I used 78.7 degree to cut.

[@paulocaldas2390]

Victor He Thank you but if you divide 189 by 16 pieces you come to 11,25 so what’s is 78,7?

[@victorhe7200]

@@paulocaldas2390 I just used the SketchUp to build a simple model. that's what it came up.

[@paulocaldas2390]

Victor He Ok, thanks a lot.

[@brucea550]

@@paulocaldas2390 You are just measuring the other part of 90 degrees it’s the same angle.

[@bluedragon4244]

This wood be more expensive than its worth where i live now its 10$ plus a 2×4

[@aidakupa9243]

What tool did you use to scrape it?

[@victorhe7200]

Aida, it's a traditional Chinese hand plane.

[@yare1324]

Where can we buy from you?

[@OldDunollieman]

Measurements? Dimensions? Angle cut on 2x4's?

[@victorhe7200]

The outter size of pot is 14inches high, 14inches diameter. I prepared 16 pieces cut 2x4. 14 inches long, width 2.75 inches, thickness doesn't matter. Angel is 78.7 degree on two edges.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

@@victorhe7200 Thank you, I will have a go at that.

[@farshidete1]

Can you tell me how that angle is calculated???

[@victorhe7200]

I used SketchUp to create the model first. Depends on the thickness of the wood and the side of the pot. You can play around the number of segments of a circle in Sketchup, then give it the thickness you want. Then measure the angle from there.

[@farshidete1]

❤❤ also I found it’s mathematical formula thanks

[@Firefighter1997]

How tall is the planter

[@victorhe7200]

The height is 14 inches

[@kannanillayaraja1738]

Sir What glue is used to fix

[@victorhe7200]

I used Titebond 3, it's strong, good for outdoor, and food touched safe. Titebond 2 is ok too.
