I'm old enough to remember more than one shop teacher with partially missing digits. Not telling you what to do, but I would be mindful of my reach and left hand placement while using your table saw. In addition, I would be invest time in making a push stick for some of the tighter right hand pushes. Keep at it! :)
Thanks for the feedback and for watching. I do have a push stick I’ve been using. I also have a CNC now so I’m hoping to use it to make some extras to have on hand. 👍🏻
Great job but i have a question. On uiur 45 deg. Miter corners when measuring do you measure inside corner i try and s0me times it just doesn't meet up. Thanks and enjoy watching your videos. Learning lots
Thanks! In this case all four needed to be the same length so I measured the inside length and marked and cut them all just a touch long. At the 9:00 mark I’m using a 45 degree jig to hold the piece while I fine tune the end with a hand plane. There are videos out there on making one of these...i think they call them shooting board or something like that. This is a great way to take the saw cut which might be a fraction off 45 and dial it in. Also you will see about 9:20 that I use one of the other pieces already done to line up the next one. This allows me to plane each one down a little so that they all end up the exact same length. This in addition to fine tuning that 45 on each one gets those miters looking really tight. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 👍🏻
I didn’t use glue on most of it because I want the option to take it apart for refinishing. For the legs the wood glue will hold just fine. I didn’t want screws visible and couldn’t use pocket screws without the holes cutting into the inside edge of the leg. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Most of the time I’m sort of winging It based on the material I have. Measures 19 inches tall with the top trim measuring 23 inches square. Inside is 15 inches deep and 16 inches square. All material is 1 inch thick. Top frame pieces are 3.5 inches wide. Side pieces are all 5.25 inches wide. For the legs one piece is 2 inches wide, the other is 3 inches wide so when glued together they are 3 inches in both directions. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

Nice to see a hand plane properly set down keeping the blade off the table.
Not gonna lie…it doesn’t always happen…lol.
Very nice work Dan. Thanks for sharing your planter box project. I'm going to build two for my wife.
Cool. Thanks for watching!
Nice job. Looks like it’s built to last.
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

I'll never understand people who put their fingers that close to table saw blades.
It’s one of those lessons you would only learn once.
I thought the same thing...
Very nice planter.
Thanks! I appreciate the view and comment! 👍🏻
This is good work; in fact too good for a planter box.
Thanks. I wouldn’t say too good for a planter...if you are going to build something isn’t it worth building it the best you can? Thanks for watching!
That's beautiful! Learned a lot too!
Thanks! Appreciate the compliment and the view. 👍🏻
Great work Sir!!

If this is for outdoors why not use WP glue and screws to go along with the good job you did on the workmanship?

Perfect 🐒👍❤️🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Why dont you put the measurements of the box you are making??
Most of the time I’m sort of winging It based on the material I have. Measures 19 inches tall with the top trim measuring 23 inches square. Inside is 15 inches deep and 16 inches square. All material is 1 inch thick. Top frame pieces are 3.5 inches wide. Side pieces are all 5.25 inches wide.

@@DanPrudlow 👍
@@DanPrudlow tks
Nice, but not for the common guy, I don’t have the tools or skills to do what you did here
Thanks for taking time to watch. 👍🏻
Your making a planter box not furniture, too much into these.
So because it’s not furniture I should do a crappier job? Ok
@@DanPrudlow Very nice work Dan!!
Thanks!
