Geometric Plywood Plant Stand With Continuous Grain

In this video I make an octagonal geometric planter / plywood plant stand in a mid century modern style with tapered legs using some birch ply offcuts left over from a previous build.

13:47 I am! You have really converted me! I thoroughly enjoy these videos, thank you!

[@sisters1941]

Good enough Keith. Enjoyed it very much.

[@markduggan3451]

Great design.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Really unique looking pot. Very clean design👌

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Nice shape for it's use mate. Great video chap

[@alistairbiggar6830]

Amazing pot and a great design too, I love birch ply and using water based varnish leaves it just the way it is!!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah it's a nice look I think

[@ChrisFranklyn]

I've seen three videos this week about doing geometric shapes like that on the table saw. One trick I picked up (I am not an expert nor done it myself) was to cut the angle slightly over, so they meet on the outside edges and you can fill any gaps more invisibly on the inside join. Again, second hand knowledge, I have no idea what I'm doing :)

[@pteddie6965]

This is a good looking pot and of course, I love how you use left overs and salvaged wood. Stay safe.

[@theopiner402]

I am not too big on the design of this project, but I enjoy watching you come up with solutions to problems and seeing you use up scraps and whatnot. The exposed plywood edges are something I also like quite a bit, especially the tables you did a couple of years back.

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Good stuff, Keith. I, too, am planning a bathroom cabinet out of BB ply. Mitred edges and push to open vertical shelves either side, behind the front panel. Best aye!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Alasdair, I'm planning a similar project too! Except the push to open 🙂

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

@@RagnBoneBrown Excellent! We can compare notes... Have a good weekend.

[@PattyPaints]

Hey - that was good, and thanks for the geometry lesson. As I'm not a woodworker I had to ask my husband how you arrived at the 22.5° angle. I feel so smart now. 😄🤪

[@anders644]

love it keep up the building

[@billyjones5502]

You should route in an ant clockwise direction because that will reduce the router cutter jumping, and it will give you a cleaner cut

[@user-oy4gf6ck5u]

Cool project the plant look nicer in the stand and as i always say plants and wood is the best combination . I really love it !!!!!!

[@niveas]

Nice job! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@TomsWooddities]

Nice work Keith, a little tip for the gaps, fill them with a bead of wood glue then run the sander over the gaps. Glue and sawdust will gum up together and voila, instant woodfiller!

[@stevebosun7410]

Hi Keith, I know it's a bit of a bodge, and a pity few mitre guides fit snugly, but I improved mine significantly with some strategically placed centre punch marks on the edge of the guide rail. A blunt, rather than a freshly ground punch seems to work best.

[@InTheWorkshop]

Nice looking plant stand, great work Keith 👍👍👍

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

That looks great keith & i love the plywood edge grain.

[@makesandskates]

Great build! I've been wanting to make a planter stand and this is giving me ideas.

[@awantamta]

Simple and elegant

[@BischBaschBosch]

Clean little design that mate. Nice one. Little overcut by half a degree on the 1st or last usually sorts any gap problems. Nice tip with the burnisher.

[@mikedeman5351]

Nice design. Looks good :)

[@garrettwight1027]

Awesome work Mr. Brown! This is one my favorite projects you've done! It really flows well with what you already have in your entryway, which I know was kinda the point lol. Really enjoying your birch ply projects! Thanks for sharing :)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@nicolahoult785]

love that great work x

[@danielpreilly77]

Cool project, maybe find a shade dweller? real plants are fun to watch grow

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Most of them just die in my experience

[@veronica5896]

Totally completed the entrance hall in a great way. I personally would not have any visible plywood in my space, but somehow I really like it in yours - it fits! The hall looks awesome 😊 It looks clean and modern - everything goes together perfectly 👌Great first impression to your home! Would you ever consider a full housetour - would love to see how it looks. Always get so many great ideas from other peoples solutions in their homes 😊 Anyway - Superb video as always 👌

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks. I did a house tour last year when we moved in (Patreon/KZbin membership exclusive though) and once all our renovations are complete I'll probably do another

[@hebierob]

Classy build!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Henry

[@3dmazter]

Next time glue up half of the tube and clamp them the same way you did now with the tape and bands. then sand the two halves on a large piece of sandpaper and glue them together. No gaps

[@RagnBoneBrown]

That's a great idea

[@YKATO871]

Ratcheting strops/straps would have worked a treat to clamp with👍🏾

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Nice modern pot Keith, I also like the plywood end grain look. The hallway is looking rather smart.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Karl

[@NomadMakes]

Another great vid, mate! Whether or not people like the look is a subjective thing. I think it was a really nice little build. You have to give your soul and one kindney for a sheet of birch ply in Norway, so it is by no means a cheap look ;-) Thanks for sharing.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks. Yeah it's expensive here too (£70 a sheet) but I can't resist! 🤣

[@bigpete4227]

I must admit I don’t like plywood in any capacity, but I can still appreciate the build and end product.

[@reamoved8946]

hi, regarding the miter gauge i saw a video that advised an adding a little 'ding' to the metal on tge gauge with a punch and that can take out the play, necer tried it myself because my saw doesnt have one

[@davidshortall9302]

Great plant pot Keith, cool build and love the hall cause I really liked the shoe cabinet... Just a bit devo that you used an artificial plant :( Ha!

[@paultay23]

Great video Keith and nice to see the new saw in action... Can you save Peter Millard a few bits of Birch Plywood please, he is really feeling the pain of the price of BPW now he has no clients to pay for it 😂😂

[@RagnBoneBrown]

🤣

[@Chris-vp9ht]

maybe a band clamp or ratchet strap would off helped with gule up but not sure

[@morkmorgs2188]

Christopher Pipes frank howarth uses these and they work well

[@jackleg693]

I’m no woodworker so please forgive me - is that the way you normally use the mitre sled? I always thought it was behind the wood and pushed the wood... don’t suppose it matters- the finished pot looked brilliant!

[@BjornV78]

5:14 Hi Keith, maybe a stupid suggestion, but what if you flip the board sideways, that way you can use 1 stop block, cutt a piece, flip the board 180°, cutt a piece etc... Nevermind with this suggestion, i realised that the grain isn't continuous that way. Nice project.

[@eyuptony]

Enjoyed watching the process Keith using the table saw. I think I'll make a similar one to this in the future. Would it be OK to refer to it as your design initially with a few features of my own added. Just sub'd Tony.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Ofcourse! Thanks

[@myrabbitispink]

0:34 plants can actually survive on artifical light alone, granted they receive enough of it. A low light houseplant such as a peace lily (spathiphyllum) would probably do just fine in that hallway corner if you leave the light on often enough. as a bonus they are excellent air purifiers.

[@franceshallen2478]

Because they have a cat a lily is not a good idea.. they are poisonous for cats.

[@gryffindork9563]

Good Enough! 😅👌🏻

[@stevebosun7410]

Me again, the gap in the last joint might be because of the saw tearout on the adjoining piece. Have a look at the footage about 7.06/7.09.

[@Andy-te6jj]

2:19 just an idea but why not drilling two "pin holes" into the table top in an 90° (45°) angle to use as reference to align your miter fence

[@OldDunollieman]

Couple of ratchet straps would have pulled it together tighter than a drum.

[@konamanstudio2447]

🍻🍺

[@davewilliams355]

Are you using the gauge the wrong way round ?..

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It doesn't matter which way around it is

[@craftworkssussex9868]

Keith can you do a sketch up guide, I know jay bates and plenty of people of done them but one from you for dumbies would be amazing

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I'm not really an expert at it. And the videos don't perform well, Gosforth handyman started a series and then removed it from KZbin as no one watched them. I think he has the videos still on his Patreon, worth checking those out 👍

[@bobjonathon2669]

How tall are you

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Not sure.... Average ish!
