I've been making planters for 5 years now.. The first year I had to take a leave of absence from work because I had so many orders... There's a insane amount of money to be made out there. I will say this though. I glue and nail every single board and I don't skimp on quality. I warranty my boxes for 5 years also. I've not had even one come back to me. And I've made hundreds and hundreds..
@gilly2571 Marketplace...Only local.. Since I started making them.. I get a lot of copycats now. But no one puts the effort and quality I do.. I glue and nail ever single board which adds to the cost and time to make them. They are rock solid and last a very long time.
How much do you charge for them? I'm trying to figure out how to make a little money to help with this ridiculous economy plus set aside for tool upgrades
I HAVE to thank you for tlalking and describing your project, INSTEAD of playing crap music and leaving it up to folks to GUESS at what you are doing. In fact, I appreciate THAT so much, I subbed you!!!!
Yes! Absolutely HATE the crap music youtube creators seem to feel obligated to put in their videos. Even the "background" music is annoying, and I will fast forward a bit to see if it's in the entire video. If so, I stop playing it and move on to another youtube creator, so they won't be getting any "likes" (usually the opposite) from me, let alone subscribe. An instructional video is NOT a Hollywood movie requiring music.
@@jpeterson1488 Agreed. I especially hate it when creators think everyone wants to hear crappy music ,particularly loud rap or hip hop, or heavy metal. More creators should learn from those who focus on an effective presentation rather than their (annoying and distracting) background music.
I think is for wifes. My wife getts annoyed when I watch a video and she hears all these machines cutting, drilling, sanding etc. But she doesen't complain when it's even crappiest music!
I tell you 40 dollars is a fair price for the time & effort for sure. I live in England. I wouldn’t get half that because people here think you should pay them to take them. They don’t appreciate what goes into the finish product. Thanks for showing your process.
Sadly, that’s most places. A lot of people don’t consider someone’s time worth money. Trust me, I’ve gotten messages saying that it’s too much money. But the customers that pay outweigh the people that don’t want to spend the money. You just have to put it out there and give it a shot.
@@SaltyWoodworking fair play to you. Plugging away seems a fair point. I only do craft fairs so my audience is rather small. But overhearing comments as people pass by saying “nice but rather expensive” seems unfair with the collection of materials, prep work, sanding, finishing etc… then paying for a stand to promote your work seems harsh & doesn’t inspire confidence in your work. I will continue to produce work as I don’t cave in easily. There are however people who show a real interest in the work, they are probably woodworkers there selves so know what goes into it. Let’s hope there’s more interest in my next effort. Good luck to you fella. Hope your projects get the attention they deserve.
@@neilpiper2807 I did my first farmers market this past weekend and didn’t sell that much. It was pretty disappointing if I’m being honest with you. I sold a handful of planters, but only one cutting board. I had prices for everyone, from $15 up to $200. I dont know what it is about marketplace, or if I’m just lucky where I’m at, but people are going crazy over the planters. Thank you for the kind words!
I list my job due to health issues about 8 months ago, but luckily I have a military retirement check that helps. I turned to my woodworking to help me get by. I was making some that are very similar using 3 pickets as well & selling them for $40. Unfortunately, a local guy started making some like mine & selling them for $25. I figured out the cost of making mine plus my time & they cost me about $20 to make. So I just doubled that to come up with my selling price. Apparently, the guy selling them for $25 either doesn't figure his hourly wage for making them into his costs or doesn't think his time is worth much. I decided to quit making them because I couldn't compete & make it worth my time. So now I just make other things. It is all about your area as to the costs & selling price. 😊
@@WomanUnfiltered Did you happen to what the guy's work was like? Might be garbage compared to yours. I wouldn't give up making them because someone undersells you, He might give up because it's a waste of his time not making any money with them. Maybe add some stain to it to be different from his.
I appreciate your video, and thanks for explaining things in detail. I agree that you should sell at least 3x your materials cost. If your materials cost 18 dollars and you sell them for 40 dollars, that's just above 2x your materials cost. I highly recommend selling them for 54 dollars. That's about what they sell for at the box stores, and trust me, people will and do pay 54 dollars for them. I've found that most woodworkers miscalculate or don't know their total expenses. There's a cost to drive your truck to go get the materials, 1 or 2 gallons of gas? And dont forget to calculate that time to not only get there and back, but to purchase the materials, on-loading, off-loading. The nails, the glue? A monthly electric bill for the shop? Divide that bill by 30 days. Is there a water bill? Insurances? I don't want to sound like doom and gloom, but unless you calculate ALL your time, and ALL your expenses you're cheating yourself. Please trust me on this. I've been doing this for over 40 years now. 3x your materials cost should be your absolute minimum.
Better go with 3x the cost plus add 20% to that total cost for miscellaneous things like transportation, utilities, etc. So in that example it would be $54+20% = $64.80. Play with that number so that you go higher for more profits or go a little lower lets say 60 for repeating costumers, people that buy many pieces, sell them faster etc.
Most importantly you have to factor in your competition and what people are paying for your products. If you do everything you said and you end up 50% more than the competition, you won’t sell nothing. You also gotta factor in the how much working for yourself means to you. Idk why you would factor in trips to the store when you’d be driving to a regular job either way
Thanks for the video. And super thanks for being one of the few RUclipsr woodworkers to reduce the volume on your video when running your saws and planer.
@@jackchandelierfor some of us that like to watch videos at night with a Bluetooth speaker on or watch videos with headphones having all the machines on silence like this video is a real joy. 😂
I make between 4 to 6 grand a month and I only build between 2 to 3 pieces each month. I love woodworking and I love your content, keep it up young man!
One extra tip. I don't have a fancy stop block fence BUT what i do is clamp a piece of scrap to my fence for short pieces like this and longer ones my stand has a stop built in to the extension wings. That's how you really pump out numbers quick.
Nice Video, I would have put a 3/4 x 3/4 x11-3/4 runner on each of the bottom short sides to help support the floor. Maybe the weight of the planting might be too much weight for the brad nail without glue. That mean you would have to move the floor up by 3/4" to place the support runners in
I agree. Support for the bottom should be made. Maybe 4 of those holes on the bottom. Your design and craftsman ship are excellent. It's very easy to pic a part somebody else's work.
Easier fix is to replicate the top on the bottom, tying those boards inside the legs. It will create a "trim band" under the box, but it should still look fine. If you don't like that look, add (4) 1x vertically on the exterior between the legs all the way around to cover up the bottom support boards you just placed around the bottom of the box. Don't forget to raise the price for the extra material.
I agree 100% there's money to be made out there. The hard part at least for me is finding customers. And finding consistent ways to sell stuff. Can you make a video about your marketing techniques?
I’ve made a few of these planters myself. But I always end up over building them with extra supports underneath the bottom. And I use screws along with the nails and glue. My biggest fear is the planter will fall apart and the customer will spread the word about how it failed. Even though I tell them the planter is sitting outside in the weather. Now I mostly make them for friends and family. I like your videos and thanks.
I only do just nails with the small boxes like this and you can stand in it without it breaking. The bigger planter I make I add a support rail and glue and nail the bottom into those.
you'd be surprised how much weight wood glue can hold, I make the small boxes just nails and glue, honestly the nails are just there to hold it while the glue dries. Bigger planters of course need more support, and cross braces and screws will help, because dirt gets heavy
Ive made planters big & small like these for yrs now. I glue & screw/ nail everything.& use a thick bead on the bottoms so u see squeeze out cause over a short period of time w/ the water/soil weight movement &"the elements" those bottoms are gonna need more than a few 18g brads. Id ad a couple more drain holes so the bottom doesn't rot out in a year. It looks nice though.
I understand that most people wish to offer constructive criticism,. However, I just want to commend you on the effort of giving measurements as well as instructions!!! Overall an excellent, informative and inspiring video. Please continue making such videos. Thank you very much. STEVE
This is great! I am quitting my corporate America job to start building furniture but this seems to be a lot easier and more profitable than the desks and ottomans I was making. Thanks for this! I just subscribed!!
I've watched this video several times since you posted it. You have an easy going delivery which I appreciate. And - you've got the quietest chop saw and nailer I've ever "not" heard :) I appreciate that little bit of sound editing. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
I love that Skil table saw! It has served me well and you absolutely cannot beat the price. Accurate rack and pinion fence, easy calibration, can take dado stacks, and it's a 10 inch. Also lightweight and comes with a built-in stand. You can pay double for the black and yellow one or get this one and do everything the other one can.
I have the same Skil 10in table saw - it is absolutely hands down, THE best value for the money! Especially for a starter saw that you will have as a backup if you ever get serious enough to invest in a good cabinet saw.
TIP: Use CA glue in combination with the wood glue. The CA glue will help lock it in place (within 15 seconds). Then for consistency this will allow you to use your nail gun on the ‘inside’ only (therefore not seeing ‘any’ nail marks/holes). (Not required; just an added tip/benefit) You can use a bit of salt with the wood glue to preven slipping and movement.
CA glue mixed in or on an out side edge? I use a pin nailer for a much smaller hole on the outside. Never used salt but a dab of play sand. The salt doesn't interfere chemically?
One thing that might help a bit if you are wanting to set up for a multi order. Instead of using the first piece cut to mark length and butting up to it, you could grab a clamp and a piece of wood and clamp it right to the fence of the miter. I used that trick when I was doing laminate flooring and needed to cut 10-15 pieces the same length for a room. It can really save some time from needed to butt up each piece.
I cant believe im suggesting this because im an extreme amateur. But you showed how you use a board to make another cut for the others, i used a scrap 2*4 to do the same thing, cause I was doing exactly that. But i switched ti thr 2*4, used the cut piece, and use that clamp that comes with your saw to basically make a cutting jig. Then feed the board. Cut. Remove, feed. Then you dont have to mess with the other board! Hope this finds you well and thanks for your video!
17:31 Just made the small 1:01 planter using mill cut lumber. Planned it all down to 7/8". A little heavier but worked out great. Thank for the instruction video. May God bless you. Used hemlock wood.
I live in Rhode Island and there are no stores there carry cedar fence pickets. Best I've been able to get is 1.61/board foot. That adds up quick. Mind you, those board are suppose to be 11/16 thick. Yet the ones I got were closer an 1" thick. Which leaves me planing a ton of wood off. Or resawing a bunch of boards. Best we can get around here are the pressure treated fence pickets for $2.18/board. Those range from 1/2" to 5/8" and sometime you get lucky and they are thicker than 5/8".
@@pkupmanvt You are absolutely correct, but I am not selling mine for people to grow food in them. I do make cedar planters and those that appreciate craftsmanship do buy them. At current cedar prices around RI it's hard to beat out the Lowes, HomeDepot and Amazon's with their super low pricing.
There are many YT videos about making planters, this one is one of the better. One thing makes me wonder, how long is a planter like this going to last ? How many years ? Where I live, I can't get cedar. If I were to build it I`d probably go for spruce, that is cheap and easy to get. Building planters this way, they would fall into pieces after three years of usage, maybe they could stay a little more if they were treated. I started several years ago to build planters that fits exactly to a plastic tray, that way the soil and dirt will not get into contact with the wood.
Very well thought out how to video. You actually gave all measurements and how you cut and assembled. Subscribed for that fact. Thank you, and I am looking forward to more of your videos to pop up
Thanks for the video. That is a great project and not too difficult to build. You did a great job explaining the build process. I look forward to seeing more of your projects. Take care and God bless. Rudy
yes. when you butt up a piece against a chop saw bade, if you run a cut, it will shave a 1/32" off of it. so when he used that to cut each piece im thinking the 1st and 4th must be off
Thanks for the video. A lot of people are making these planters and most are reporting making a profit. It's time to add my two cents in the fold. Just subscribed and looking forward to more videos. Cheers!
Thanks bud! I was hesitant to jump into the bandwagon on making these, but boy I’m glad I did. I would’ve never been able to buy the tools I have if I didn’t get started making these.
Thank you so much for the inspiration! Here in the UK I need to make something work out . I'm a trained cabinet maker and have really appreciated your video for my future. Many thanks dude !
Love the way you presented this. So many other videos out there just blaze through the actual build portion and don't take their time to show you how to make something you can sell (or just keep if you don't want to make money!). Really appreciate the time you spent on this, and congrats on making some profit you can invest back into your craft!
I built some items that were similar with scraps from a fence job I did for my daughter. I left the gap on the bottom for drainage but I covered it with landscape fabric on the inside. I used TB III to glue everything and to hold in the fabric. She has them on her front porch and changes flowers with the season.
I started woodworking end of last year, and heavily this year. I stayed away from 3 picket planters for several reasons. The first being there are over 100 videos on YT on how to make them. FB marketplace is covered with them in my area. I quick check right now shows some going for 25 dollars. They are everywhere, even vendor markets in booths that have nothing to do with planters. I make more decorative planters that cost more in styles you do not see on marketplace. I do not sell on marketplace, I rent a vendor space for a monthly sale in my area. Regarding yours, I considered running mine through a planter, but thinknesses vary so much on these, some getting close to 1/2 inch. I just hit them real quick with 80 grit on an orbital sander to knock off the fuzzies. Yours look good after planing. I personally would not send one out with brad nails holding the bottom but thats just me. Glad you are doing good with them and good luck.
It is definitely an over saturated market, but you can still find success in it. It's the same thing in my area, tons of people selling for $25 yet I get at least $1,000 a week in orders. I tell everyone it's at least worth a shot to try it out. I did my first market this past weekend and only sold two planters, so FB marketplace is definitely the way to go for me, but it's different for everyone. They do vary in thickness very much, buy usually as long as I'm taking off a 1/16th of an inch they all come out the same. The two smaller boxes I make are the only boxes that are held in with just nails on the bottom, all the larger sizes I put a runner along the bottom and nail the bottom boards into that. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!
That's what I thought. I had free wood someone was getting rid of. I had enough to build 4. They sold in half hour and had so many messages about them. I was shocked, cause I would never buy them. I did put 2x2's on the bottom for strength.
I make miniature tiny homes that look like shipping containers. I use cedar wood for them and sell them for tiny villages! Thanks for sharing! Nice project that I will consider making!
As I watched, I though you could be a stunt double for Wilson on Tool Time, only in reverse. I love this idea, though! I'm new to woodworking, so suffice it to say that my skills are not great. I want to make money doing woodworking because I really enjoy it. I have a 2,000 sq. ft. workshop, so that's a nice plus! I did spend a small fortune on woodworking equipment, so now I need to make some money to make momma happy. LOL I've seen so many cool things that can be made with fence boards, too!! I'm anxious to try a whole bunch of them and see if I can make a dollar or two! Thanks for the great idea and inspiration!
Your presentation is perfect - Love that clean organized shop that lends itself to smooth fast assembly. A stop-block on that miter with double your speed, and although TB||| is king on the inside, TB|| is still better outside, in the sun, or if your cedar has darker heartwood in it. Usually not an issue, but here in Ca in full sun you will get a few more years. If its going on the boat or on the beach I go straight to epoxy.
Best audio quality and attention to eliminating abrasive sounds. Ya I’m off a bean watching this just relieved I don’t have to hear the fkn nail gun or saw just relaxed learning this box process. Update Just got to the forgotten middle piece mitigation, I think it looks better with the color divide, chat?
I would take one extra step and cut some squares of window screen material. Use the glue to place them over the holes on the inside of the box. This will help keep the soil in the box while still letting the excess water drain.
That is a really good idea. I’ve never had an issue with soil coming out of the holes though, I have a handful of my own planters I setup before I started selling to make sure they hold up. Definitely not a bad idea though.
Thank you for a classy video! I have taken the measurements, which I'm sure won't be exact for the wood I use, but the proportions will be right. As someone else has said, thanks for not have loads of irrelevant commentary or music, just method and measurements; perfect! Just noticed the free plans - will use those! Thanks again.
I have one concern that stands out to me. The bottoms, just a few brad nails does not seem sturdy enough to hold a bunch of weight from soil, plants, and water. Obviously you've sold a bunch of them so it is likely not an issue, but in my head, that does not seem like enough support for someone filling that box up all the way with dirt, especially once the boards start responding to constant moisture. I can see a quick solution of using scrap to make small 2x2 squares that you place under the box sides and bottom in the crook of the legs. It's not a ton, but if you have extra wood at the end, you could solve a problem that has not presented itself yet. Or, I'm probably overthinking it, and all you'd be doing is adding more time for little to no payoff. Just a random thought that I figured I would point out, but like I said, I'm probably overthinking things. Cheers.
You’d be surprised how strong it is. As long as you make it a tight fit. On the bigger boxes I make, I take a 1 3/4” piece of the fence board and run it along the bottom, the nail the bottom piece into it. So it has two forms of support. I’m releasing a video Sunday of a 4ft box and you’ll see how I do the bottom in that video. It’s strong enough to stand in.
Small tip for you. I have the same stand for my miter saw. If you take 2 peices of 2x10 cut the 2" wider then your stand width. And glue and screw the 2x10s together in a L shape. You then have a nice stop block you can clamp to your miter stand. That way you only have to measure your first peice
I just bought that same skil miter saw and table saw. Absolutely love them! Sure beats that Harbor Freight 99 dollar table saw I was using, which worked really well once I got it dialed in. That was a trick though!
I would leave the gap down the center for the drain. If they want to actually fill the box with soil, a strip of hardware cloth is enough to keep it from falling out.
@WhosTheVoss really put us all on to these for the season huh! I've also made some pretty good coin as well and I like how you added the planner to hit one side. I "dust" mine with a simple piece of sandpaper to get that same result.
@SaltyWoodworking thanks for the idea. Overall it's a good design. However, as a gardener and a woodworker I will tell a better design is to use that last piece of wood to reinforce the bottom. The weight of wet soil is substantial. Cut some thin brace strips from that last board screw them inside the bottom flush with each side. This will give the boards something to rest on. Personally I hate brad nails. But to each their own. You need a few more drainage holes.
I made two of these and they are great! Thank you for the time you put into the video! I wanna do a fancy one with white wood and screws so I can stain them all pretty. Haha
Good video. I had purchased a bunch of pickets a little while ago for something i have been working on, so I made one when i got home from work today. It was a fun, quick build.
Agree...We send our Canadian cedar to US.....but HD & Lowes sell it back to us at 3x the price...vs USA?? Unreal... What a rip-off !! lol I end up making mine with HT pallets...all look great....!!
Why not get or make a stop cut jig. Basically a slide plate at the end of the saw that you can move to the length you need to cut that way you don't have to keep measuring for different lengths and you can just slide the boards to the stop and cut. It will cut your setup and processing of the planks from 30 seconds per cut to about 5 seconds. You be able to blast our the one size for how ever many you need, then slide the stop to the next size and just butt the plank to the stop and cut the next length. You won't need the measure and mark each cut or fiddle with getting the cut portion perfectly butted to the rest of the board before cutting. Sorry, I'm a metal worker and welder, and our saws all have stops, so we don't have to sit there and measure and mark, then cut and repeat up to 100 times per project. We just move the slide to the desired length and but the pipe, angle iron, or flat material and cut however many pieces we need.
One thing you could do is set up a stop prior to cutting on the Miter saw and instead of holding your first cut piece, all of them will be measured from the stop. Just push the wood up to the stop and cut.
Fine vid ! Just came across it ( who knows how! Lol ) but as a gardener and carpenter I’d put a few carriage bolts etc on it charge a buck etc more then it would last a lot longer ( moisture etc ) without doing fancy carpentry work, dove tails etc , or maybe use blind screws using jigs that or cheap sold at most hardware stores but great vid ! Thanks !!
Thanks for the video. Great item to sell. Don't forget to add a few other project costs, namely the time to procure and transport wood. Then you also need to factor in a percentage of overhead like maintenance and amortization of your shop and equipment, electricity bills, bookkeeping and all that stuff. Not the scope of the video, but thought I'd add it here.
Thanks for sharing. I need to be thinking about these now. I'm always behind the eight ball on seasonal things. I'd love to make some now to build up a small amount of stock and give myself time to do pictures and marketing when it starts getting nice out.
I liked your style; design and build of this product that you are selling! It sounds like your price-point is on target with your marketplace. Well done, Sir!
When using a nail gun, the nails will only curve out sideways from the direction the gun is facing. So always keep the nail gun perpendicular to the edge you're nailing into and you shouldn't have a problem
Question? why not clamp a stopper on the saw, that is once to set up at 13" and saw 4 pieces or a multiple of that for more boxes, move the stopper to the 11and3/4" and saw the 6 or multiples of those six boards Works a lot faster in my opinion Kind regards Hans
If you are making one for yourself I would suggest building it so that you can drop a plastic pot of flowers in it such as they sell in the big box stores.. This would allow you to easily change the flowers from spring to summer to fall. This would also greatly extend the life of the wood.
Thank you! It’s all about consistency and staying within your niche on your channel! I got super lucky with this video, it blew up out of nowhere where and pushed my channel as a whole. I’m just trying to keep pushing with the momentum.
Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it and I have been wanting some bosses for a while. Can’t afford it and you just show me a may or may not make it for myself. If not, I will be placing an order. Thank you so much.
Instead of using your last cut to measure the next; set up a jig. Cut all the boards you need for that length, then adjust the jig and cut the next set. Will save more time than lining up the previous cut
Thanks for watching!

There's a cost to drive your truck to go get the materials, 1 or 2 gallons of gas? And dont forget to calculate that time to not only get there and back, but to purchase the materials, on-loading, off-loading. The nails, the glue? A monthly electric bill for the shop? Divide that bill by 30 days. Is there a water bill? Insurances? I don't want to sound like doom and gloom, but unless you calculate ALL your time, and ALL your expenses you're cheating yourself. Please trust me on this. I've been doing this for over 40 years now. 3x your materials cost should be your absolute minimum.
You are right!!!
Better go with 3x the cost plus add 20% to that total cost for miscellaneous things like transportation, utilities, etc. So in that example it would be $54+20% = $64.80. Play with that number so that you go higher for more profits or go a little lower lets say 60 for repeating costumers, people that buy many pieces, sell them faster etc.
Most importantly you have to factor in your competition and what people are paying for your products. If you do everything you said and you end up 50% more than the competition, you won’t sell nothing. You also gotta factor in the how much working for yourself means to you. Idk why you would factor in trips to the store when you’d be driving to a regular job either way
I would leave the slot in the middle of the bottom open and put some landscape cloth to cover it inside to hold the dirt. better drainage.
You’re so right I was like buddy why are you cutting a dinky little trim piece and then drilling new drainage!?
I was thinking a wire mesh nailed over that bottom hole
Best video I have seen describing this process. Love how you mute the noise. Well done bro. Keep up the quality vids.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the video. And super thanks for being one of the few RUclipsr woodworkers to reduce the volume on your video when running your saws and planer.
I came here to comment the same thing.
When he made the first cut I thought, MAN, that is one quiet saw!!!!
I agree with you 100%. It was nice to not hear the saw cutting.
That's funny.. I wouldn't mind it turned down, but I find it kind of odd to not hear the saws or nail gun at all. I'd rather hear something!
@@jackchandelierfor some of us that like to watch videos at night with a Bluetooth speaker on or watch videos with headphones having all the machines on silence like this video is a real joy. 😂
I make between 4 to 6 grand a month and I only build between 2 to 3 pieces each month. I love woodworking and I love your content, keep it up young man!
That’s the way to do it for sure.
I’m working my way to that goal at the moment.
Appreciate the compliments!
What items are you building?
What are you building?
@ Outdoor kitchens, hence the name Cowboy Country Kicthens, lol
One extra tip. I don't have a fancy stop block fence BUT what i do is clamp a piece of scrap to my fence for short pieces like this and longer ones my stand has a stop built in to the extension wings. That's how you really pump out numbers quick.
One extra tip mark the saw fence that's what I do
@ryanalexander1507 not quite as accurate but I do that sometimes for a few quick cuts
Nice Video, I would have put a 3/4 x 3/4 x11-3/4 runner on each of the bottom short sides to help support the floor. Maybe the weight of the planting might be too much weight for the brad nail without glue. That mean you would have to move the floor up by 3/4" to place the support runners in
I was thinking the same thing....wet dirt is heavy
And a bigger hole at the bottom 😂
I agree. Support for the bottom should be made. Maybe 4 of those holes on the bottom. Your design and craftsman ship are excellent. It's very easy to pic a part somebody else's work.
I was thinking an X brace that's half-lapped, °45 metered ended fitting against the legs would work for more support.
Easier fix is to replicate the top on the bottom, tying those boards inside the legs. It will create a "trim band" under the box, but it should still look fine. If you don't like that look, add (4) 1x vertically on the exterior between the legs all the way around to cover up the bottom support boards you just placed around the bottom of the box. Don't forget to raise the price for the extra material.
I agree 100% there's money to be made out there. The hard part at least for me is finding customers. And finding consistent ways to sell stuff. Can you make a video about your marketing techniques?
Love to see how he markets his items
Sorry for the super late reply, but I will have a video out this weekend on how I market my products on facebook.
Get you a stop block, that will speed up your measuring and miter set up dramatically. Looks great
I’ve made a few of these planters myself. But I always end up over building them with extra supports underneath the bottom. And I use screws along with the nails and glue. My biggest fear is the planter will fall apart and the customer will spread the word about how it failed. Even though I tell them the planter is sitting outside in the weather. Now I mostly make them for friends and family. I like your videos and thanks.
I only do just nails with the small boxes like this and you can stand in it without it breaking. The bigger planter I make I add a support rail and glue and nail the bottom into those.
you'd be surprised how much weight wood glue can hold, I make the small boxes just nails and glue, honestly the nails are just there to hold it while the glue dries. Bigger planters of course need more support, and cross braces and screws will help, because dirt gets heavy
Ive made planters big & small like these for yrs now. I glue & screw/ nail everything.& use a thick bead on the bottoms so u see squeeze out cause over a short period of time w/ the water/soil weight movement &"the elements" those bottoms are gonna need more than a few 18g brads. Id ad a couple more drain holes so the bottom doesn't rot out in a year. It looks nice though.
I understand that most people wish to offer constructive criticism,. However, I just want to commend you on the effort of giving measurements as well as instructions!!! Overall an excellent, informative and inspiring video. Please continue making such videos. Thank you very much.
STEVE
This is great! I am quitting my corporate America job to start building furniture but this seems to be a lot easier and more profitable than the desks and ottomans I was making. Thanks for this! I just subscribed!!
I've watched this video several times since you posted it. You have an easy going delivery which I appreciate. And - you've got the quietest chop saw and nailer I've ever "not" heard :) I appreciate that little bit of sound editing. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
@@franka5416 thank you!
I was wondering where to buy the muffler for his miter saw!😂
See future work! Be well Martin!
I love that Skil table saw! It has served me well and you absolutely cannot beat the price. Accurate rack and pinion fence, easy calibration, can take dado stacks, and it's a 10 inch. Also lightweight and comes with a built-in stand. You can pay double for the black and yellow one or get this one and do everything the other one can.
I have the same Skil 10in table saw - it is absolutely hands down, THE best value for the money! Especially for a starter saw that you will have as a backup if you ever get serious enough to invest in a good cabinet saw.
TIP: Use CA glue in combination with the wood glue. The CA glue will help lock it in place (within 15 seconds). Then for consistency this will allow you to use your nail gun on the ‘inside’ only (therefore not seeing ‘any’ nail marks/holes). (Not required; just an added tip/benefit) You can use a bit of salt with the wood glue to preven slipping and movement.
CA glue mixed in or on an out side edge? I use a pin nailer for a much smaller hole on the outside. Never used salt but a dab of play sand. The salt doesn't interfere chemically?
One thing that might help a bit if you are wanting to set up for a multi order. Instead of using the first piece cut to mark length and butting up to it, you could grab a clamp and a piece of wood and clamp it right to the fence of the miter. I used that trick when I was doing laminate flooring and needed to cut 10-15 pieces the same length for a room. It can really save some time from needed to butt up each piece.
That's good tip. Careful to not butt overly hard or the block will creep and result in out of square assemblies due to varying cut lengths.
That is called a stop block and it is standard procedure in the construction industry for batching out multiple pieces of the same size.
I cant believe im suggesting this because im an extreme amateur. But you showed how you use a board to make another cut for the others, i used a scrap 2*4 to do the same thing, cause I was doing exactly that. But i switched ti thr 2*4, used the cut piece, and use that clamp that comes with your saw to basically make a cutting jig. Then feed the board. Cut. Remove, feed. Then you dont have to mess with the other board! Hope this finds you well and thanks for your video!
17:31 Just made the small 1:01 planter using mill cut lumber. Planned it all down to 7/8". A little heavier but worked out great. Thank for the instruction video. May God bless you. Used hemlock wood.
That is awesome!
I live in Rhode Island and there are no stores there carry cedar fence pickets. Best I've been able to get is 1.61/board foot. That adds up quick. Mind you, those board are suppose to be 11/16 thick. Yet the ones I got were closer an 1" thick. Which leaves me planing a ton of wood off. Or resawing a bunch of boards. Best we can get around here are the pressure treated fence pickets for $2.18/board. Those range from 1/2" to 5/8" and sometime you get lucky and they are thicker than 5/8".
Fellow Rhode islander here, same problem
and unfortunately the pressure treated wood would deter a lot of people from growing food in them I imagine.
@@pkupmanvt You are absolutely correct, but I am not selling mine for people to grow food in them. I do make cedar planters and those that appreciate craftsmanship do buy them. At current cedar prices around RI it's hard to beat out the Lowes, HomeDepot and Amazon's with their super low pricing.
There are many YT videos about making planters, this one is one of the better.
One thing makes me wonder, how long is a planter like this going to last ? How many years ?
Where I live, I can't get cedar. If I were to build it I`d probably go for spruce, that is cheap and easy to get. Building planters
this way, they would fall into pieces after three years of usage, maybe they could stay a little more if they were treated.
I started several years ago to build planters that fits exactly to a plastic tray, that way the soil and dirt will not get into contact
with the wood.
@se38005 If you can't get cedar, how about cypress? It would be similar to cedar as far as resistance to insects and decay.
You explain really well. It’s an amazing skill you have. Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤❤❤
Very well thought out how to video. You actually gave all measurements and how you cut and assembled. Subscribed for that fact. Thank you, and I am looking forward to more of your videos to pop up
Thank you! I really appreciate the compliments!
Thanks for the video. That is a great project and not too difficult to build. You did a great job explaining the build process. I look forward to seeing more of your projects. Take care and God bless. Rudy
Love it!! Only suggestion I have is use stop-blocks to the miter-saw to speed up the process and also add accuracy. :)
I’ll be building a miter saw in the near future and I’ll definitely be implementing stop blocks!
yes. when you butt up a piece against a chop saw bade, if you run a cut, it will shave a 1/32" off of it. so when he used that to cut each piece im thinking the 1st and 4th must be off
@@ShayDug pay attention a little more, you’ll see I remove the first piece before making the cut. So it doesn’t get touched during the process.
I looked at the flower boxes at Lowe’s they were high price junk lol so I took the same design and you guessed it I have made 10 boxes lol
Thanks for the video. A lot of people are making these planters and most are reporting making a profit. It's time to add my two cents in the fold. Just subscribed and looking forward to more videos. Cheers!
Thanks bud!
I was hesitant to jump into the bandwagon on making these, but boy I’m glad I did. I would’ve never been able to buy the tools I have if I didn’t get started making these.
Thank you so much for the inspiration! Here in the UK I need to make something work out . I'm a trained cabinet maker and have really appreciated your video for my future. Many thanks dude !
Love the way you presented this. So many other videos out there just blaze through the actual build portion and don't take their time to show you how to make something you can sell (or just keep if you don't want to make money!). Really appreciate the time you spent on this, and congrats on making some profit you can invest back into your craft!
Thank you for the kind words.
I built some items that were similar with scraps from a fence job I did for my daughter. I left the gap on the bottom for drainage but I covered it with landscape fabric on the inside. I used TB III to glue everything and to hold in the fabric. She has them on her front porch and changes flowers with the season.
I started woodworking end of last year, and heavily this year. I stayed away from 3 picket planters for several reasons. The first being there are over 100 videos on YT on how to make them. FB marketplace is covered with them in my area. I quick check right now shows some going for 25 dollars. They are everywhere, even vendor markets in booths that have nothing to do with planters.
I make more decorative planters that cost more in styles you do not see on marketplace. I do not sell on marketplace, I rent a vendor space for a monthly sale in my area.
Regarding yours, I considered running mine through a planter, but thinknesses vary so much on these, some getting close to 1/2 inch. I just hit them real quick with 80 grit on an orbital sander to knock off the fuzzies.
Yours look good after planing. I personally would not send one out with brad nails holding the bottom but thats just me.
Glad you are doing good with them and good luck.
It is definitely an over saturated market, but you can still find success in it. It's the same thing in my area, tons of people selling for $25 yet I get at least $1,000 a week in orders. I tell everyone it's at least worth a shot to try it out.
I did my first market this past weekend and only sold two planters, so FB marketplace is definitely the way to go for me, but it's different for everyone.
They do vary in thickness very much, buy usually as long as I'm taking off a 1/16th of an inch they all come out the same.
The two smaller boxes I make are the only boxes that are held in with just nails on the bottom, all the larger sizes I put a runner along the bottom and nail the bottom boards into that.
I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!
That's what I thought. I had free wood someone was getting rid of. I had enough to build 4. They sold in half hour and had so many messages about them. I was shocked, cause I would never buy them. I did put 2x2's on the bottom for strength.
I make miniature tiny homes that look like shipping containers. I use cedar wood for them and sell them for tiny villages! Thanks for sharing! Nice project that I will consider making!
Excellent "How To" video. The editing is perfect.
As I watched, I though you could be a stunt double for Wilson on Tool Time, only in reverse. I love this idea, though! I'm new to woodworking, so suffice it to say that my skills are not great. I want to make money doing woodworking because I really enjoy it. I have a 2,000 sq. ft. workshop, so that's a nice plus! I did spend a small fortune on woodworking equipment, so now I need to make some money to make momma happy. LOL I've seen so many cool things that can be made with fence boards, too!! I'm anxious to try a whole bunch of them and see if I can make a dollar or two! Thanks for the great idea and inspiration!
Shout out to your editing. The muting of the cutting and fast forwarding. Quality.
Your presentation is perfect - Love that clean organized shop that lends itself to smooth fast assembly. A stop-block on that miter with double your speed, and although TB||| is king on the inside, TB|| is still better outside, in the sun, or if your cedar has darker heartwood in it. Usually not an issue, but here in Ca in full sun you will get a few more years. If its going on the boat or on the beach I go straight to epoxy.
Good job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it Keep building looks great God Bless
Thanks, you too!
Best audio quality and attention to eliminating abrasive sounds. Ya I’m off a bean watching this just relieved I don’t have to hear the fkn nail gun or saw just relaxed learning this box process.
Update
Just got to the forgotten middle piece mitigation, I think it looks better with the color divide, chat?
I would take one extra step and cut some squares of window screen material. Use the glue to place them over the holes on the inside of the box. This will help keep the soil in the box while still letting the excess water drain.
That is a really good idea.
I’ve never had an issue with soil coming out of the holes though, I have a handful of my own planters I setup before I started selling to make sure they hold up. Definitely not a bad idea though.
@@SaltyWoodworking I think the customer could add screen if they wanted...I wouldn't bother with it
Really good video. Just made my first planter box. I'm doing some for a craft fair later this month. Thank you so much.
Man, what a quiet saw! :)
Thank you for a classy video! I have taken the measurements, which I'm sure won't be exact for the wood I use, but the proportions will be right. As someone else has said, thanks for not have loads of irrelevant commentary or music, just method and measurements; perfect! Just noticed the free plans - will use those! Thanks again.
I have one concern that stands out to me. The bottoms, just a few brad nails does not seem sturdy enough to hold a bunch of weight from soil, plants, and water. Obviously you've sold a bunch of them so it is likely not an issue, but in my head, that does not seem like enough support for someone filling that box up all the way with dirt, especially once the boards start responding to constant moisture.
I can see a quick solution of using scrap to make small 2x2 squares that you place under the box sides and bottom in the crook of the legs. It's not a ton, but if you have extra wood at the end, you could solve a problem that has not presented itself yet. Or, I'm probably overthinking it, and all you'd be doing is adding more time for little to no payoff. Just a random thought that I figured I would point out, but like I said, I'm probably overthinking things. Cheers.
You’d be surprised how strong it is. As long as you make it a tight fit.
On the bigger boxes I make, I take a 1 3/4” piece of the fence board and run it along the bottom, the nail the bottom piece into it. So it has two forms of support.
I’m releasing a video Sunday of a 4ft box and you’ll see how I do the bottom in that video. It’s strong enough to stand in.
Great video. Ive seen lots of planter boxes made but yours is about the easiest. And they look great!
Great video and i just subscribed. Wow you have the world's most quiet machines ever!!! No need for ear protection. (I'm not being serious btw)
Thank you!
I wish they made silent machines. I don’t even turn my table saw on without hearing protection because it’s so loud 😅
Small tip for you. I have the same stand for my miter saw. If you take 2 peices of 2x10 cut the 2" wider then your stand width. And glue and screw the 2x10s together in a L shape. You then have a nice stop block you can clamp to your miter stand. That way you only have to measure your first peice
That is a great idea, I would not have thought about doing that! Might have to try it out soon. Thank you!
enjoyed your inspiring video. I think I'll try some of these. GOOD video editing also.
I appreciate it! Have fun making one!
I just bought that same skil miter saw and table saw. Absolutely love them! Sure beats that Harbor Freight 99 dollar table saw I was using, which worked really well once I got it dialed in. That was a trick though!
I like the table saw, I will be upgrading to a SawStop pretty soon.
I would leave the gap down the center for the drain. If they want to actually fill the box with soil, a strip of hardware cloth is enough to keep it from falling out.
A hair over 3/4 is 13/16 ths
Nice lookin box by the way
Actually, a hair over would probably be closer to 25/32, but who's counting, right? lol
@WhosTheVoss really put us all on to these for the season huh! I've also made some pretty good coin as well and I like how you added the planner to hit one side. I "dust" mine with a simple piece of sandpaper to get that same result.
@SaltyWoodworking thanks for the idea. Overall it's a good design. However, as a gardener and a woodworker I will tell a better design is to use that last piece of wood to reinforce the bottom. The weight of wet soil is substantial. Cut some thin brace strips from that last board screw them inside the bottom flush with each side. This will give the boards something to rest on. Personally I hate brad nails. But to each their own.
You need a few more drainage holes.
I made two of these and they are great! Thank you for the time you put into the video! I wanna do a fancy one with white wood and screws so I can stain them all pretty. Haha
I'd be lucky to get $20 for those planters, in my area.

Same
Nice vedio, not only showing clear procedures but also how to marketing and sell.
That is the quietest nail gun I’ve ever heard! Jokes aside great tutorial!
Good video. I had purchased a bunch of pickets a little while ago for something i have been working on, so I made one when i got home from work today. It was a fun, quick build.
That's awesome to hear! I'll be releasing another video soon of an 11 picket planter I make.
In canada those cedar boards are 12.99 canadian or 10US funds.
Oh wow. Thats crazy expensive.
You could always look into pine. Might be cheaper.
Agree...We send our Canadian cedar to US.....but HD & Lowes sell it back to us at 3x the price...vs USA?? Unreal... What a rip-off !! lol I end up making mine with HT pallets...all look great....!!
@@danielvachonI used fenceboards. If your lucky you can find them free, stock up if you do.
This is so great! Your laid back vibe is also really refreshing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wow, where did you get those silent tools. Can you post the link below ? 😂 Good video.
Turn up your volume😅
Great simple build! Took me about an hour to make the first one. Will make a few more for around the house. Thanks for sharing.
Great how you showed your work flow to help us visualize how volume production would work
Why not get or make a stop cut jig. Basically a slide plate at the end of the saw that you can move to the length you need to cut that way you don't have to keep measuring for different lengths and you can just slide the boards to the stop and cut. It will cut your setup and processing of the planks from 30 seconds per cut to about 5 seconds.
You be able to blast our the one size for how ever many you need, then slide the stop to the next size and just butt the plank to the stop and cut the next length. You won't need the measure and mark each cut or fiddle with getting the cut portion perfectly butted to the rest of the board before cutting.
Sorry, I'm a metal worker and welder, and our saws all have stops, so we don't have to sit there and measure and mark, then cut and repeat up to 100 times per project. We just move the slide to the desired length and but the pipe, angle iron, or flat material and cut however many pieces we need.
that is what I do also.....using a stop helps cut time.....
I’ll be building a miter station in the near future, and it’ll have stop blocks in it!
@@SaltyWoodworkingyou can just use a clamp and a block of wood, in the meantime.
Your work is second to none May God continue to bless you.
Leave the gap in the bottom, call it a drain
suggest they line the thing with landscaping cloth!
I had multiple customers complain of my large gaps so now I don't do more than a 1/16" and they are happy
One thing you could do is set up a stop prior to cutting on the Miter saw and instead of holding your first cut piece, all of them will be measured from the stop. Just push the wood up to the stop and cut.
That's really cool man. I make small treasure like boxes and it takes me forever. Planter boxes are rad. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Suggestion if you want to go a little faster. On your mitter station use a stop block.
Thanks for the video - nice job. Great tips and excellent job - cheers
Fine vid ! Just came across it ( who knows how! Lol ) but as a gardener and carpenter I’d put a few carriage bolts etc on it charge a buck etc more then it would last a lot longer ( moisture etc ) without doing fancy carpentry work, dove tails etc , or maybe use blind screws using jigs that or cheap sold at most hardware stores but great vid ! Thanks !!
I have a laser engraver. I think I’m going to try this with a touch of personalization.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
@@br9545 definitely a good idea.
I have a new laser engraver coming in soon, I’ll be posting some ideas you can use it for soon
Thanks for the video. Great item to sell. Don't forget to add a few other project costs, namely the time to procure and transport wood. Then you also need to factor in a percentage of overhead like maintenance and amortization of your shop and equipment, electricity bills, bookkeeping and all that stuff. Not the scope of the video, but thought I'd add it here.
Definitely good advice, especially if you’re trying to grow something bigger. Overhead can catch up to you really quick.
Thanks for sharing. I need to be thinking about these now. I'm always behind the eight ball on seasonal things. I'd love to make some now to build up a small amount of stock and give myself time to do pictures and marketing when it starts getting nice out.
You could cut your top boards to length by setting it on top of box and marking with pencil. No measuring errors.
Love it!!! I’m a very similar style of woodworker and love how you break things down. Good job!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
If you extend the wings (moveable fence arms) on your mitersaw and clamp a stop block to it for repeatable cuts fast too.
Outstanding video and step by step process. I’ve been making planter boxes for years and will incorporate some of your ideas. Great job!!!
5:58 almost the same exact cut. Even with a jig they will still be off slightly, but not enough to notice making this kind of project.
I liked your style; design and build of this product that you are selling! It sounds like your price-point is on target with your marketplace.
Well done, Sir!
When using a nail gun, the nails will only curve out sideways from the direction the gun is facing. So always keep the nail gun perpendicular to the edge you're nailing into and you shouldn't have a problem
Great tutorial. I look forward to making these planters. Thank you so very much!
Question? why not clamp a stopper on the saw, that is once to set up at 13" and saw 4 pieces or a multiple of that for more boxes, move the stopper to the 11and3/4" and saw the 6 or multiples of those six boards Works a lot faster in my opinion Kind regards Hans
First thing I thought
If you are making one for yourself I would suggest building it so that you can drop a plastic pot of flowers in it such as they sell in the big box stores.. This would allow you to easily change the flowers from spring to summer to fall. This would also greatly extend the life of the wood.
Thanks for the plans for this, i could have written down all of your measurements, but having the plans will make this easier.
This is awesome! I’m a beginner. Thank you so much for sharing!
Looks amazing and easy to build. Plan on building some this weekend. Thank you for the plans.
I look forward to getting into wood working soon. Great simple project for starting out. Thank you.
No problem! Don’t forget to have fun!
Good work! I’ve never sold anything I’ve built but recently decided to and I think I’m gonna start with this!
You should!
Awesome video, man! I just started my own youtube channel, and I know it's a lot of work, but you make it look easy! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
It’s all about consistency and staying within your niche on your channel!
I got super lucky with this video, it blew up out of nowhere where and pushed my channel as a whole. I’m just trying to keep pushing with the momentum.
Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it and I have been wanting some bosses for a while. Can’t afford it and you just show me a may or may not make it for myself. If not, I will be placing an order. Thank you so much.
Making is the easy and fun part. Selling and marketing is the hard part.
awesome, I like the way you muted the nail gun sounds, neat trick. Thanks for the video!
Instead of using your last cut to measure the next; set up a jig. Cut all the boards you need for that length, then adjust the jig and cut the next set.
Will save more time than lining up the previous cut
Nice video man, thanks for sharing, I have to say though to start doing more for the bottom, that way customers don’t have to repair it down the road.
Great planter and perfect simple to follow, thorough directions!
