Get ready for summer by building this clever wooden planter box for your outdoor space! It's eye-catching and easy to build. The idea behind this is that you don’t have to go shopping for any special sized pots to set inside. A regular 5 gallon bucket widely available at hardware stores and home centers will work perfectly. Just drill a couple holes in the bottom for drainage!

Thank you for including your "I messed up, now let me figure this out. Nope, that won't work, let me try this" moments because I feel like every time I try to make something I have at least one of those moments. Glad to know that it isn't due to my inexperience. It is comforting knowing that mistakes happen to the even best of you.
Yeah, agreed. Those "messed up, but figured out how to fix it" moments are a great way to learn.
Haha...every project has problems
@@SteveRamseyquestion, or maybe a statement; since you are drilling those holes 1/2 way through the posts, couldn’t you drill just a bit past 1/2 way on the same plane. The screws would miss each other and just be adjacent if you did so? Since the screw heads would clear the other hole coming in at 90 degrees, it would solve the issue in a fresh project. Obviously, you could have done the same here if you plugged the holes instead. You could then add a contrasting wood plug and it would be at the same height adding it as a design element?
Every project is a prototype... Nice to see the things that go wrong and how they get fixed. And he always revises the plans for us!!!
Please tell my wife that you can be sober and still mess a project up lol. Always great work regardless.
I love that you leave in all the embarrassing things that happen to each and every one of us, making us feel better, knowing that since you did it on video, we don't have to! We can be original, and create our own problems!
I have to admit I rolled the video back so I could see (again) the part where you clamped it and the two sides flopped down. That's one of the things I love about your videos - you don't edit out the oopsies. You even left in the battery swap. Thanks again for these quick project videos - they are definitely my favorites!
Any day I see a Steve Ramsey video come out I know it’s gonna be a good day!
thank you!
In my head this all makes sense. I need that t-shirt
I love how you show your mistakes and still get the project done. After all we are only human. Awesome project and thank you for being a professional.
I think you are the only wood worker that shows your mistakes.
I can't stand everyone else's videos where everything always goes perfectly somehow.
I love your "I messed up" moments - this is why I enjoy watching your videos. I make more than my share of "happy accidents" as well. Love the outro with Bubbles!
Thanks for including what most DIY youtubers omit from their "oops" moments: the actual thought process of reaching a fix. Many will at least include their "oops" moments, and sometimes even their failed fixes. But the valuable learning really comes from seeing another person's thought process and their approach to problem solving, rather than their solutions.
I watch you on my TV. I am 77years old, and I want to thank you for getting me into woodworking.
Get someone else to cut down stock. You only have one back, and it only takes one bulging disk, and the whole thing is a project for a bone carpenter!
Watched and benefitted from many of your videos. Longtime fan and like to dabble in woodworking.. Big Thank you for all myour videos.
I absolutely love the showing of the thought process -- this, um no, what about?
I do much the same, but not so quickly.
One of the few things I miss about CA is the price and availability of redwood. Now I want to make a road trip with the truck.
I love the floating slat construction, and showing the opps we all experience!
100%. Moved to Oregon and no redwood lumber in sight. I tell my wife I’m going to rent a u-haul, drive to California, and fill it with redwood.😂
This was such a great video, and the cuts of you actively problem solving was very good. I've always appreciated your realistic and honest approach to everything you do. This was a fun project that might help me out in a few years when i start to build out a raised garden in earnest.
Nice video and good to see I'm not the only one who 'cocks up' lol. Here's a thought, maybe use pocket hole screws to connect the sides instead of drilling holes? Although it may be necessary to use drilled holes in two of the sides as getting pocket holes screwed in once on side is in could be difficult.
While I love all aspects of Steve’s videos, I just want to mention how much I love the audio. When he “pats” the work pieces on his bench, or shifts pieces to bring them together into alignment, the sounds are so satisfying. Everything sounds so solid and oddly enough, that is yet another part of his videos that inspires and motivates me to get out and build something.
Thanks for everything, Steve.
Agreed!
Really beautiful work, Steve! It looks fantastic! 😃
I'd just make a hole in the center of the central board, for water drainage.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great project, love seeing that you are human just like the rest of us. 😊
I love your "I messed up" moments - this is why I enjoy watching your videos.
I love Steve showing how to fix the problems that occur. It has helped me not pitch projects when I goof up.
Leaving in the process of how you problem solve is awesome. It helps to see that there are mistakes and life doesn't come with a content editor. lol Thank you again for another weekend project to get busy on.
I always enjoy your project videos, thanks Steve.
Nice addition.
Thank you for showing us your thought process after messing up!
The most real woodworking video on the internet also I'm way too critical of myself so seeing this made me feel so much better so thanks for that and thanks for all the work you put into this. You rock
I look forward to seeing your videos and I really appreciate how you show not only mistakes but how you deal with them. All the best to you Steve!
'Clamping fail' is my middle name. Ha ha. I live in the center of the country so no redwood easily available, but cedar, white oak, and cypress are outdoor woods that are more common here. I'm sure the project would work just fine with any or those. Cool project.
Lovely job 👏🏼
Nice build.
Not sure why there are so many naysayers in the comments to this video. The project can be easily adapted to one's own circumstances and preferences. Thanks for all you've posted over these many years. Thumbs up.
I really like that planter Steve. So cool! 😎 Thank you very much. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Great to see a video from Steve
Thanks for sharing the mistakes and how you dealt with them.
Looks great!
Ahh looks nice and fancy, may work for some of my new Roses.
When the 3 sides fell away from each other, I had a moment of vertigo & time displacement. I thought I was somehow looking into a mirror, seeing myself in someone else's body. Freaky-deeky.
I've got it: it's an outtake of my scene from *Being John Malkovich* that was not cut from the movie because it never happened.
Short version: the same "it all falls apart" kinda-thing happens to me unwelcomely often. Cheers!
Another honest great project, thanks
Looks great !! 😁👍
Great build steve!
A mixed video of refinishing lawn furniture and staining a deck would be cool.
Great video. I've worked out what the next video is going to be. Deck maintenance. Cheers John
@2:06: "I don't need to rip these, they're already thin enough. So I'll just cut to length."
[Makes many cuts. A few mins later]
@2:16: "Actually I do need to rip these down a little. I just didn't read my own plans...closely........enough."
Every Woodworker, Ever: Are you me?
Great, yes I also appreciate the authenticity Steve - you could have made a small chair!
Actually I think this was meant to be a combined comedy show/woodworking show 🤪. Ya got there in the end though.
👍👍👍.Thanks
steve have you tried using a pressure washer on your deck
Nice.
Would you recommend the stain/sealer that you used? Does it seem to have protected your deck?
Do you ever use a jointer? Why or why not? Thanks in advance! 😊
I wish I lived in California where I could easily get that beautiful redwood for outdoor projects. This planter looks great, and a great idea to use the homer bucket 🤜
lol,,i believe i would stay out of california
@@jeffoldham3466 California is beautiful, I have family out there and would happily make the move
@@pecantreedesign i was in california years ago and you are right,,it was beautiful then,,,,but now its just a sespool of violence,,homeless,,,and rioting,,,,and you have got a governor that as much of a idiot as joe biden,,,if i was going to move it would be florida,,,
Cheers Steve for a great video, appreciate.
Have a great weekend!
mike-barcelona
Thanks, you too!
Bubbles!!! ❤
She's back!!! 😻
And that, my friend, is why I don’t stain wooden outdoor stuff. Too much maintenance.
Smart making it accommodate a 5 gal. bucket. There is evil genius in your simplicity.
I use left over kitty litter buckets for this.
If you drill a litlle bit more than half through you can even put these holes at the same height
less fuss
;-) 👍
My uncle just started making a d selling these a few months ago. They sell fast
Don't forget to put holes in the bucket! Especially if it's gonna be outdoors.
I built something similar but had to use a more rigid base as the dirt+water was quite heavy
Needs more pocket holes.
Now this is some Proper DIY! Interesting, an English bloke who I follow did nearly the exact project last week, but he used some metric rectangular plastic planter inserts that are only available in the UK.
You saved us all and gave us a USA option ❤ 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Steve!
What is the stain/ sealer used on this project?
Very nice planter box Steve even if it took you a while to figure it all out! Reminds me of my own antics in the shop! 🤔🤔
I know this is random, but is there anywhere to find the 11 year old plans for the wood storage rack??? Thanx :)
What glue will work on bamboo?
Are those thin slats in the base going to hold the weight of a 5 gallon bucket full of wet soil and plants?
For sure. Wood is pretty strong!
Honestly if they don't, the plant won't fall far and you'll know exactly what to change. Lol
@9:22 - Nice mallet. Know where I can get one? 😉
I'll admit it, i laughed at 8:55
yes yes showing your mistakes was good, but the best part was still the end scene with Bubbles
Hey, Steve. I wanted to get your tool list, but when I click the 'send me the tool list' button, it gives me a 404 error. Cheers.
Is there another name for those thin boards? Can’t seem to find them by garden edging?
Hmmm...I'm not sure!
You can also use cedar fence pickets, which will be in the fencing area. They are cheap and should be thin enough.
Maybe... bender board.
Red Wood on the east coast in a home center, that's not going to happen
I would try cedar
Cedar here in the south too. Plenty of it around, that’s for sure.
@@SteveRamsey@Control-Freak Moved to Oregon and no redwood in sight. I’m ready to rent a u-haul, drive down to California and fill it with beautiful redwood.
Why do your projects have rainbows on them?
Rainbows are part of nature and colors are beautiful. Cope.
You mean the tools and bucket? I am sure it is to hide branding…better to get hate because of some spray paint than because you chose the wrong color of battery! 🤣
Steve Ramsey - One of the first people making decent, fun projects on RUclips .... and now one of the last!
That is the most open-minded bucket I've ever seen !!😂😂
*5 Gallon Bucket is Too Much Dirt!!!*
Raise the floor, like I mentioned, and use a smaller bucket. Lots of options here!
@@jonny5alive123 Just drill a couple. It's not that difficult.
@@jonny5alive123 oh stop lol
@@jonny5alive123 It's a woodworking channel, not a gardening channel. I'm sure anyone adding plants to these would figure this out.
@@jonny5alive123 most projects, even with plans, require a bit of common sense 😉
The bucket is gross!
If you look closely, I made a wooden planter box that will shield it from you.
Unsubscribed. I came for the craftsmanship, not the unnecessary alphabet propaganda.
Lol, I'm not sure if you are saying this ironically, or if you are serious.
?? The Patreon subscriber thanks ??
@@evergladesflNo, I expect they’re reacting to the multicolour paint on the bucket (and the sander).
I assure you the cedar wood is sustainably sourced.
@SteveRamsey You have a stupid rainbow bucket in the thumbnail. We can't go a day without seeing that crap that is ruining America. Peace.
🤷🏼♂️ WTF?
