Please take this video down or put it behind a paywall… if my wife and her family see this I’m going to be very busy.. ha ha…. Seriously nice build. I like your take on this..!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol thanks!

[@carmenevans7651]

All these videos should be behind a pay wall. After the last fence picket project, I got down to the lumber store and half the pile was gone.

[@1meanelf]

@omm2745 Your comment had me laughing.

[@jasonbass2904]

My wife walked in and saw me watching this, sat down on the couch and actually got out a pen and paper and TOOK NOTES for a materials list. She then went to the bedroom, got on her YT account, looked up Matts channel and planned my next two weekends. I've only been watching Matt for a couple days. Really glad I found the channel but I'm afraid its gonna turn into a second job. Keep cranking out the videos Matt. Maybe I can use the builds as leverage....🤔

[@dianemacfie-loucks6392]

I was going to show my husband it lol

[@sittingindetroit9204]

Last year I built a similar item with a twist. Instead of a shelf on the bottom, I built a plastic lined wood water tank. I then got a very inexpensive solar water pump (usually used for bird baths) and ran a tube through the flower bed on top. All day, the water pumps up into the flower bed and then drains back down into the tank. Largest and best blooms I have ever had.

[@scottbyrd2157]

Awesome twist!

[@TopCat2021]

Nice, Thanks for the idea!

[@mike4g8rs]

I watched this video then realized: I have enough spare wood that I saved from old projects to make this without spending a dime. I even had some old waste scraps of composite decking to use on the bottom of the box so it won’t rot out the bottom. Thank for this!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Perfect.

[@jaidanielparker]

I've made outdoor planters with pallets that were going to scrap.

[@steveferguson1232]

These are really nice. My wife watched with me, and you have convinced her to say make these for me. Lol. I appreciate how you don’t edit out things like the broken drill bit. For us long time woodworkers (30+ years and I’m 64) we all have done this very same thing.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol sorry about that! And thank you!

[@BelleChasseHome]

Thank you for your guidance and inspiration. Your words, not your videos have pushed me to JUST START BUILDING after a very long time of not knowing where to begin. Its been a year of learning and testing my equipment as I am new to wood working, but comfortabe with any type of new equipment. Safety First, Safety Second, Safety Third.. My first project is making planter boxes out of OLD SHUTTERS. Hope to share the build with others and give back. U.S. Marine retired.

Im dieing laughing here. I had to slow down the speed here so i could grasp what your saying and now you sound like you bombed outta your mind. 😂. Besides that. Thank you for all that you do. Your a true inspiration. Your videos are top notch and your paper plans are too.

[@g.m.forsythe9626]

Suggestion: At about 3:1`4 you go through marking the center on all four sides of the rail. I have found an easier way to do this. Use a test piece, mark one and if it is correct, put a stop block at the other end and then all four will come out at that same point (midpoint) just by rotating the rail. You can make all the "points" with just one setting of the stop block.

[@jackrabbitkayaks6430]

Great video man......awesome job

[@shawnr771]

Nice work. Suggestion. Seal the fence pickets inside and out. Moisture will get trapped between the liner and the pickets leading to early failure.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@crippledcrippled]

What would you recommend to seal/paint?

[@shawnr771]

@@crippledcrippled Acrylic Latex based stain and sealer. Pick the brand and the color you like they are all about the same. For rough cedar a semi translucent works well. If you sand it down smooth a clear coat looks pretty cool.

this project looks great. i bought Matthews plans yesterday and made the first of the 3 planters. his plans are very detailed and easy to follow. the only thing i have done differently is cutting the 1/2"rabbits in the rails. i still get that puckering feeling every time i see the small cutoff left between the blade and the rip fence. thanks Matthew for all the work and effort. best wishes

[@dian3145]

Beautiful upgrade to a picket project! With the bench planters, your backyard will shine ☀

[@markb8954]

Perfect “Mothers Day” project. It’s easy to just use a thick mil garbage bag/plastic liner stapled to the inside. Put a mulch layer down for the bottom 1/2 or so, top up with potting soil - not garden soil. Stick in a few herbs & geraniums, put a nice layer of mulch or sphagnum as the final layer.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Great idea!!

[@Mrsmith1279]

Awesome build. Little accident, though. @16:34, your measurements for the holes are off from the plans. Should be 4½, 22½ and 33½.

Thank you so much. I Really appreciate it.

[@lakealotmama]

Dear Matthew, thank you so much for everything. Would you have a video on how you manage the hours in your day/week? As mind-expanding as I'm finding the woodworking world to be, I'm contemplating sort of ahead of time (as I'm not yet established) how to tackle the management of a) many and varied ongoing projects with b) time/money/motivation ebbs and flows, within the context of the demands of regular life, and was wondering if there's inspiration to be found in what a 'day in the life/week' looks like for someone like you! Thanks again! Sarah

[@Patrick20w]

Are the brad nails used galvanized for exterior use or does it matter?

[@dnikkithebest]

If we do not have a table saw, is there another way to cut the notches?

[@aprildegele1510]

You didn't explain how you dealt with the bowing and the knot. What I've found is that if you can cut your short pieces around the knot and exclude it, the bowing will straighten our. The unfortunate part in this is that you have to exclude the knot, which means you may lose more lumber than you intended. But honestly? It's a small price to pay for what will end up as a straight board on either side of the knot. I've seen so many people trash whole warped or twisted boards without considering the knots. Gorgeous wood they put in the burn pile. Made my heart hurt. I rescued it and fixed it, so free great wood! Cut out the knot and let it sit flat for a day or two while laying flat. If you have to soak the wood and weigh it down, do it. The worst that can happen is that it still doesn't end up straight. Still with a bend or twist? Use what's flat, or the flattest because you'll likely have to plane it anyway. Take out the worst stuff, see what straightens out, and deal with the slightly twisted, bowed, or cupped bits to see if you can flatten them. If you can't for the project you're doing because the measurements are wrong, save it for another project that doesn't require the depth you lost. If you can't correct, or mill to use in another project, then the board was totally bad to begin with.
