The $6 Planter (Version 2) - Low Cost High Profit - Make Money Woodworking

[@panthersarebeast1111]

Man, you changed my life with this. I’ve wanted to get into wood working since I was a little kid, I’m 22 now and decided to go all in on this with $28 in my bank account because times are so rough. All I had was a jigsaw and sand paper but they turned out pretty good, posted them on Facebook, got an order for 2, sold them for $90, bought a table saw, and now here I am booked halfway thru July all because of YOU! THANK YOU

[@orbitalair2103]

wow, way to go! best of luck and success to you.

I just turned 96 lost my job at the local liquor store , I found a vintage jigsaw at my local Salvation Army , I can’t wait to get to build wood projects thank to you sir .

[@adelemartinez8235]

So, how's it going?

[@TheCripticWolf]

I'm almost 50, and while handy, have never built anything with wood in my life. For whatever reason this video popped on my feed and I was hooked. Went out and bought some beginning level saws and made this planter. Showed my fiancée and she flipped out. Posted on facebook that we were taking orders and in 4 hours I have 10 ordered!!! One guy wanted something taller, so showed him a picture of your tall planter and he wanted 2 of those!! Your channel is amazing, keep it up!!

[@andyjame5249]

This is a great wood project book kzbin.infoUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.

[@thepupil2]

I did not believe 3 pickets were enough. I was going to buy the plans but then I just decided to use the video. I cut down 6 pickets into exactly enough for 2 boxes and built a box in one afternoon. I now have jigs, and enough material to build another box. I think I'm going to buy the plans because I don't have a way to tip for this amazing video!

[@duallity2403]

I've always told my wife, show me a picture and I'll build it. Coming up with these builds and limiting it to three fence pickets is pure genius. I'd get a migraine trying to get such a cost saving cut list. Thank you so much for getting me back into my shop without breaking the bank!

[@eddaeges9309]

[@jimbeck9897]

I've been looking at your products for quite a few months now. I decided to take one on. This took me a little longer to build than I thought but it came out looking good. Just as a suggestion to see if it would work, how about putting a 2-in piece in the middle of the A sides? That way it would close together with the B sides. I look forward to building a lot more of your projects. I also suggest if you're a rookie, buy an extra picket if you're just going to build one. I had to use half of the extra one for this first time. Thanks again for inspiring an 83-year-old to get back to work.

[@stacie487]

How many 1 3/4, 1 3/8 and 1” rip cuts do you make from each picket? Thanks

[@jacksonsmithconstruction9089]

Trust me they sell. I’ve been building & selling the exact same planter box, only at 2’ square, for years now and not coming in lower than $400. I even add a hinged lid on some so that the homeowner has a box to match their planters for lawn equipment or whatever

[@Anonymike365]

Wow, im a visual artist (Contemporary art) but love wood working. This is by far, the most easy to follow along, well explained, sharing knowledge, helping other people channel I have ever come across. Can't wait to build this for the lady of the house. Thank you for sharing with us rookies!!!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Wow, thank you!

[@soujrnr]

I love these little boxes, and I really love the trellis idea in conjunction with the box as an add-on. I think that iteration will be a big hit near me, so I am going to build a few and see how I do. I am a rank amateur with only about one year's experience in woodworking, but this is well within my capabilities. My dad was a master woodworker years ago, but I didn't have much interest in working with him when I was young, so now I'm starting almost from scratch. He's still alive and lives with my wife and I, but at 95 years old, even though he is as healthy as a teenager, he doesn't trust his balance and slow reflexes enough to work with power tools anymore, which means he doesn't ever come down to the garage to see what's going on. The long hill is too much for him. So, I am learning with your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills!!

I pasted the cut list in to ChatGPT. Me: how many fence pickets will it take to make this? ChatGPT: 48. Me: Nah, I think it can be done in three. ChatGPT: Yes, my apologies for the slight error, it can be made in three. 😂😂😂😂 I bought the plans just to see how it can be cut from three pickets. Pure magic my friend, pure magic.

If you're going to use them for Christmas tree stands, what about threaded inserts right under the lip, so they can run bolts through to stabilize the tree?

[@daveortwine2641]

You probably wouldn't want to actually do that. I don't think this is built strong enough to hold that. You would want to build a little bigger than a tree stand.

[@john-paulmarrazzo4395]

9:04 so true! I’m new to the hobby and couldn’t figure out why my pocket screws were poking out when following the other box build plans. Thought I was using the Kreg jig wrong. Turns out the fences were a tad thinner than advertised. Lesson learned, I made the adjustments and my mom loves her planter box. Keep up the good work Matt!

[@gmrkrm]

I had the same issue, all the pieces were splitting. I ended up getting 1" kreg screws instead of 1.25"

[@macp349]

I had similar issue! Was infuriating as I had drilled all pocket holes in all parts! Ended up cutting new parts and putting a 1/16" shim at base of my jig.

[@Dropswitch]

I would suggest putting pocket screws into crossboards and and B for strength. Your asking a lot of that small bite for the wall to hold that piece in place. Plus if you do it on the crossboards the wall boards will hide the holes after.

@@ZachDominguez99 there's not much room on the sides of the walls where they connect to the legs. I just put 1" brad nails down each side. I'm still stumped on the "3 picket" part. They appear to be 6ft and priced similar to the 6ft at my local Lowes. I thought maybe he was using 8ft, but they don't look that long.

[@DBackcomics]

I found out the pickets at Lowes are about 1/16 to 1/8 inch narrower. I went to home depot and they seem to be better quality and slightly wider. I'm hoping to nail down the correct order of cutting to get them out of 3 pickets. I'll let you know if I pull it off.

Okay, I bought the cedar months ago thinking this should be easy. Well, I sold my table saw when I moved back to Nevada so all I had was a scroll saw that won't stay working, a circ saw, a jigsaw and several hand saws. I finally got sick of waiting, bought a broken dilapidated table saw and rebuilt it, not my first rodeo. Its 118 degrees out so I quickly cut all my pieces and assembled it on my kitchen island. This is so fabulous! Thank you so much!! I've been fighting my way back from a knee blowout while installing flooring so this was my first physical success in 6 months!

[@CaddoCreekWoodworks]

I love your videos. I made this planter last spring and gave one as a gift, sold 4 of them, and got a commission to build a double planter which I sold for $75. I stocked up on cedar pickets and I'll be getting more of these built soon for this spring. Thanks for the great content!

Thank you and I will continue to watch your videos. Hope you can show us how to build a bedroom wardrobe but not nailed to the wall. Thank you again. I’m excited

[@smattt]

Dude Matthew - you are amazing. I built the original planter which is beautiful although I did have several issues with the pocket screws splitting the wood inspite of predrilling. I experimented with scrap wood using various combinations of depths on my pocket hole jig (Massca) and finally perfected it to where I have no more split wood. That was a great learning experience. It's funny that you have a planter with the trellis as I had thought of doing exactly that on a larger planter box (4' x 2' x 2') I built. Happy Mother's day to your mom and wife!

This is not a criticism, just a true questions.

The 1 in works, just had to be careful in nail/screw placement as it was super close. The plans are amazing as always, and I have enjoyed the build a lot, as does my yard :D ha.... Thank you!!!

[@scottcrowell6015]

Hi Matt, I purchased your plans and am excited to build these. I did want to mention a change to the design I made that involves materials. Home Depot sells a much higher grade treated fence picket for $2.78 that I am using to build 5 of these. It's 80 cents more, but it is still 6 foot long but a full 6" wide, 3/4" thick instead of 5/8", is lightly sanded and even has a coat of waterproofing stain applied! I looked through the design and the only real impact that I can see is that the "Middle Wall" pieces can be eliminated as the wider picket stock covers the entire side of the box. Also, I can use my existing stock of 1 1/4" exterior screws instead of the harder to find 1" screws.

[@RareRiddemz]

How did you manage to inlay panel B into A if you're using 3/4" thick material? I also have 3/4" thick material (5 1/2" wide) but it's 1/16" too narrow on each side of A that B sticks out when I attach them together so from the outside it's not flush. How'd you make yours work?

[@adamcoe]

Was trying to design my own version of this and came across your video and it just simplified everything. I had overthought a lot of stuff and after seeing this I just needed to change the size of lumber I was using and everything fell into place, and became much easier. Thanks man

[@rheagriffiths3838]

So, I am watching backwards a little. After several of your others, I jumped in on your multi level planter and bit the bullet for a Kreg. I have resisted for years, but it was too cool to not try. I even did the math on those "expensive" screws vs modification to brackets. Obvious choice these days was the Kreg. I also admit I did not buy your plans because you are quite easy to follow. I made only one mistake but it fixed no issues. I used all cedar (I own the mill) and it is FANTASTIC. Now I find these planters just as lovely and no Kreg... 😅😅 I have no idea why I resisted all these years except pride. Money well spent. Thanks for all you are doing, you inspired me to go past just selling the lumber, and at the very least, I have stuff that encourages sales of materials. Gonna catch that cat one way or the other!

Thank you for sharing. Last year I had to close my computer/networking store due to health reasons and went from an $80k a year income down to $1294 a month income. (Hard to work when I have to have infusions for 12 hours a day for 4 days every 2 weeks for the rest of my life). It was one of the worst moments in my life. I thank God I paid off my home and all of my vehicles and am still here for my wife and my 16 year old daughter. (The caboose of 4 children). Even though I think it’s due to some shots I deceived in the Navy I can’t prove it so no help there. Anyway woodwork has been my love for many years and going from making toys for my kids and now grand kids to small furniture for friends and family I’m hoping to supplement some of my income this way. Your tutorials are a God send to me. I’m not sure how you got every board from three pickets exactly but I guess I can work on that or do like I did and just use 4. Maybe I can use sketchup and do a cut sheet layout from that lol. I can’t offer anything for now except my thanks and prayers for your continued health and blessings on you but you have this Texans thanks and I’m tipping my hat to you sir. Again thank you.

[@bostonmacosx]

My number one idea for anything would that’s going to be outside is after you paint it either spray it with a polyurethane and use flexseal on the feet clear like three coats I have a picnic table that I built six years ago and there is no water uptake into the legs at all if you put end grain onto the ground it is going to rot

Couple tips, MAKE sure to straighten out bows or curves, sand well before you even start also check the thickness of the boards IT MATTERS! My added little twist, I'm making a top cover as well.

Matt, I was unsure that these could be made with three (3) pickets but you are right they can. A little update on material and price as of 3/14/2023 in my area in Michigan. The big orange guy has 3/4x6x6 treated for $2.68 each. Yes real 3/4 thick but the width is 5 3/4 that is strange and they have a 5/8 red pine treated which is 5/8 thick for $2.97 each The big blue guy has 5/8 nom. cedar which all of them are running 1/2" thick for $3.97 each The treated pine is also nominal 5/8" but all are at 1/2" thick for $2.18 each. Nice simple design for the planter and looks good. Good Job

This is just perfect! For years I have needed and wanted LARGE 16x16 wood planter boxes, but honestly the box stores were always too expensive for me. IF i can make 16x16 boxes for 15 $ each I will be very happy ($6 is probably a pipe dream for me so $15 is a happy price i can afford, cuz I kinda think the bottom needs to be a bit more sturdy to support the payload of dirt and plant plus a plastic liner to keep it from drying out too fast).

This style has been referred to as Crossbuck. It was/is popular on storm doors. It represents a rustic farmhouse country style as seen on barn doors etc. love your ideas and simple instructions. I am more of a visual hands on learner, although I can follow drawings as well, and appreciate seeing your techniques being demonstrated. I am sure there are many other’s like me. Keep up the great work!!

Finished my first "three picket planter" and friends and family love it. Thanks. I bought the plans they were well worth it.

[@oldguyhustle5941]

Great design. This is no way a criticism. Just 2 points on making these. 1. I purchased 6 fence boards to make 2 of these. Board were a little wide so I ripped them to 5 1/2". 4 months later when I went back to build these my boards were 5 3/8. DON'T WAIT 4 MONTHS TO BUILD WITH PRESSURE TREATED WOOD. 2. Also, I had to buy a 7th fence board to finish. I am sure that I could have been more efficient with my cuts and the thinner boards led to some cutoffs that were too thin to use. Just some observations. No criticism. They turned out great. Everyone loves them.

I completely love these, my wife completely loves these, and I’m looking forward to future clients loving these Matthew. I’m going to try staining all the face grain parts before assembly to create. 2 tone look with the cedar. I’m excited to see how they turn out. Thank you for all the time you put into creating these builds for us. Take care!

face frame 🤪

[@stacie487]

How many 1 3/4, 1 3/8 and 1” rip cuts do you make from each picket? Thanks

[@haifashawwa]

Trellis is beautiful as well. Thank you

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks.

[@JeffGloverArts]

THANK YOU! I love the business aspect you give with this series. The jig insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing all this!

[@jgutierrez2198]

Thank you Matthew this is thinking outside the Box working like you said with Cedar boards due to the increase of wood Lumber I don't have a channel now but I am working in a lot of these projects using just simple boards thank you for your help but this one opens up the mine on further projects that I've been thinking with flower boxes thank you again

[@alanwasserman8176]

Very nice design Matt, just a suggestion, even though you shown how to make a template ever though about adding then to the plans, so others can get up and go after the template is made, thanks Matt

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I already had the plans made when I decided to teach how to make a template. I wasnt going to a template but figured it would be a good teaching opportunity.

[@orbitalair2103]

I made one. The cutlist tool I used neglected a few pieces tho, so I have to re-figure that out. Picket wood splits easily, so you must drill holes for screws, and not too close to the ends. I found the edges to be really close in places, had to drill and screw at an angle. Mines a bit wobbly so I may try glueing and rescrewing the panels. I am going to keep following and trying your other projects. Keep em coming.

[@cabman86]

Put a top on it and add a door and you have end tables with storage. Just an idea.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Very nice.. or a water hose box!

[@9999Michigan]

Great Video, and Thank You! What are people putting inside the boxes to hold the dirt for the flowers? Are they using a shelf maybe lined with something?

[@aldunlop4957]

Greetings from a surprisingly sunny Scotland. I've not long discovered your channel buddy and I have to say that I'm loving it. I'm a complete newbie with a whole lot of tools just sitting in the garage waiting for me to get my ass off of the settee so that my wallet can get a little bit healthier. Thanks for the inspiration, you're videos are exactly what I need to build confidently and with a no BS approach I'm certain that I'll do just fine. 👍

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Welcome Al! None of us have time for the "BS approach". It is what it is and that's all. While Im looking up what a settee is turn this off and get to work! You've got this man.

[@NETRAracer4636]

This video gave me this push I needed to start getting my hobby to pay for itself. I just finished the cut stage on my first one. I just need to figure out how to nest the parts more efficiently. I got all but the (2) 1”x14 3/8” pieces in 3 pickets. Can’t wait to start assembling!

[@bethstudt2468]

Matthew - these are awesome! I'm gonna kick out a bunch of them for presents for my family! TY!!!

[@MrCatoe]

Loved the design. One question... Why the gap on the backside when attaching panel A to panel B?. Seems like it would be sturdier if both panels only had the 11/16th side.

[@michaelgreen6788]

I been watching your videos I getting ready to try build some of them for my wife I been wanting to try to build few little things

[@michaelwalker8743]

Hello, can I ask what dimensions the timber is when you buy it please?

[@SkilletintheWoods]

Why is it taking me more than 3 pickets? Are you using 6ft pickets? Rookie woodworker here... I made one and it turned out great, but I had to use a small section of a 4th picket to get enough to make it. I had very little scraps left over. On the 2nd one I've sat down and made a detailed cut list and tried to get as much as I can out of each picket, and I'm still short and would need a 4th picket. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong? These are great, just wish I could figure out how to do it with 3 pickets!

[@michaelglebis4956]

8ft ones

[@roblinson3327]

Thanks man. I made the first one and the jigs. Posted it on FB and it sold in less than 24 hours at over 200% profit. A second person is showing some interest as well so I’ll get the pickets to make two more and presto... instant business has begun. Can’t wait to try out some of your smalls ideas.

[@sailer5373]

I think your video is great and very well thought out, but my slight change did help me. I have found that putting a pocket hole screw on each of the cross boards add much more strength to the over all structure. Thanks again for your extremely miserly use of materials.

[@lucykane6140]

I went over to Lowe's and saw their cedar trellis's and they are$30-$40 for a really cheap thin frame. If they can sell cheap stuff for that much I know well built trellises could go for a lot more. I'll be trying these ideas out. I just finished my first cedar planter and can't wait to do more. Thanks Matthew!!
