- In this video I go over the 4 wood planters i have created on this channel. These woodworking projects sell great in the spring, summer, and fall time. They are all made with cheap fence pickets and produce a high profit when selling these project. The best part is the demand for these is always through the roof! People love them.

Just made one for the wife and it turned out awesome. I passed all pickets through the planer multiple times to make it smooth, which made a HUGE difference if you’re going to stain like I did. Tks!
That's a great idea! Pretty much stain/finish ready right off the planer!
I’ve sold probably 30 of your 2 picket planter boxes. By far the easiest planter on RUclips. And he literally tells you the exact dimensions in the video. It’s doesn’t get any easier than that
That is awesome to hear! Glad you have sold so many. People love those ones.
I think I'll give it a try myself how much did you sell yours for
Curious, how much ya selling the small planters for
@@domonicbailey3067 I sell mine for $50 each. There’s been a few times where I’ve been offered more than that. But at that price point I’m coming out ahead everytime
How do you advertise?
How much do you charge?
Use a $25 pin nailer from harbor freight for a cleaner look (less noticeable holes), and use cedar fence pickets with Titebond III
2 fence pickets
I put 4 together over the weekend. Posted them on marketplace. I put my twist on them and painted the legs and top trim black.
In 10 days, I sold 30 plus 6 custom planters. As a hobby, this was easy money, $1050.
Thanks for the awesome video.
The best video I’ve found on RUclips for DIY beginners - with clear instructions, rationale and helpful tips. Thanks for helping us learn and enjoy your craft!
I appreciate that Trina. Thanks a lot for your comment!
Always enjoy the videos. I like to lay out my top trim upside down and glue the corners and put about 3 staples in each corner. Makes it very easy to attach it to the planter all in one piece.
Damn! That is a phenomenal way to do it. Honestly getting the trim centered is the hardest part of this planter haha. This tip solves that with ease! I will be moving forward using your technique. So simple yet easily overlooked. Thanks so much for sharing that.
@@BradyHommel That's the way we case doors, pre-assembly hides a multitude of sins by the framers.
That is a great looking planter … and you made it seem doable for the beginner!! 😊
Thank you!
Brady, I just wanted to say how much I truly appreciate this video!!! I'm just getting into woodworking and I'm going to have a friend helping me out, he's having some memory issues so with me helping him I know that we will be able to stay on track making the planters for extra money ❤❤❤❤
That's great to hear!! Thank you for sharing that comment. I hope you have built some by now
Easy breezy, thanks Buddy know what everyone in my family is getting for birthdays and Christmas. 😊
I would love to see you make tapered planners. You make very nice planners and so easy to understand your videos. Let's see you make tapered videos on planters
Thank you for sharing! Your videos are great! Stay safe on the road.
Thank you. I appreciate that!
Wow! Fantastic tutorial. Great walkthrough of the builds. Crystal clear and easy to follow.
You have created really nice products there. Brilliant, I’m going to have a go. Thanks 👍🇬🇧👍
I appreciate the comment. Thank you!
These were all great 'walk-through-videos' Brother. I really like all of them. I'm looking forward to adding them to the arsenal of planter designs I currently make. Great inspiration whether you choose to make any of these exact designs or not.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment.
Love all of these! Subscribed!
Awesome to hear! Thank you!
It looks really cool👍👍👍
Thank you! Glad you like it
Great video
Thank you for this video
Your welcome!
Damn I gotta try this one well all of them maybe it'll spruce up the patio and just maybe make ta few bucks!! Thanks for the great idea and instructions
they Forsure will! enjoy!
Thank you for this video, you make it easy. Im gonna build a couple of these today. Ive got a few pickets and was wondering what to do with them. Now i know
Your welcome! Awesome. Glad it was a help.
i just got hip to your channel and I like what you are doing.I wanna start making furniture of my own. To make a long story I was hoping you would consider making a video dedicated to the tools a newbie would need to make things- I don't have any tools that i see you have in your videos besides a couple drills i got from home depot.
Well, thanks for the videos, they're pretty good and easy to follow so don't change your recipe and youll have one devoted sub in me.
Nice!!!
Thank you!
Hey brother great videos! I'm curious though about the moisture content of the pickets. In my area you can not find dry pickets at all. They are usually sitting outside in the garden center SOAKING wet. Are you buying them dry or letting them dry indoors first? Being as wet as they come, I think they would warp pretty bad.
You rock man
Thanks man!
nice work
Thanks
Hey Brother. Just wanted to stop and leave a comment and help drive that algorithm. Great video. Great builds.
Thanks a lot Scott. I appreciate the comment and the support!
@@BradyHommel dude you are soo unselfish. You are like a sportsman turning on a kid to fishing or hunting…your a tribute to my dad who wasn’t kissie or hugger. He taught me to do things with my hands and tools. He loved my mother , treated her like his princess,and was proud American Wo4king man who wore BEN Davis Clothes and Red Wing shoes. Thank you again….
Damn good video! New sub! Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
Do you do any tapered planters? Love your videos and because of you im able to build some very nice planters. Thx for the awesome videos. God Bless
On the landscape Timbers you could put them horizontally on sides and make a log cabin look 👀. More material and cost but maybe more profit. Thanks for sharing your talent and teaching with all of us
That's a great idea. I think that would appeal big time to log cabin owners that want planters for there porch. Would fit right in. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see that look
Any chance you could do a step by step video on building a 6 or 8 sided wishing well? I've learned so much from watching your videos! God Bless
Thank you. I want to diy these
They are great diy projects. Your welcome!
Could you share a link to your dust mask? .. desperately trying to find a similar one - great vid by the way 😊
YES I BOUGHT A 2X 4 PAINTED IT AND PUT FLOWERS ON IT AND SOLD IT FOR $50K IN 2 WEEKS TIME. NOW I AM GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO WITH A 2 X 10 BOARD !!!!
if 2x4=8 then you should be able to get 20!
You have pics
@@gheezymarro8755 IT'S A JOKE
@@MatttKelly JUST WHAT I THOUGHT TOO
$50k?
It is crazy how different prices are. $5.79 for that picket in Alaska. Still a reasonable build. I just get jealous when I see that. lol
Wow! That is an insane difference. Is everything like that up there or just lumber?
$100 is a good price since it's sealed/stained and with all of the labor/skill needed.
One of my side hustles is selling plants. I propagate them, grow them to a high value size and pot them. Then I have a couple big plant sales every spring. It would be a perfect opportunity to sell some planters to increase my profits. One thing I would do that you don't is make them from cedar pickets instead of pressure treated. Cedar fence pickets cost about $4.50 each if I buy a pallet of 560. Anything made of cedar sells for 25% more than the same item made of PT.
Someone from my hometown actually opened up a store front doing what your doing! Yes Cedar is a great way to make a more quality planter definitely! The last one I made I was trying to find cedar pickets and after 2 lowes trips and a home depot trip I could only find PT. I was surprised. Also would not have to stain with cedar as it is beautiful as is.
The cedar pickets from Lowe’s are typically warped, checked, and cupped. The Lowe’s here in coastal Alabama store them out in the garden area, whereas HD stores them inside with other lumber.
I haven’t found where the cedar outsells PT planters, but it’s still a good strategy to offer them side by side.
@@dropndeal Around here cedar is the most popular wood for most outdoor furniture from adirondack chairs to picnic tables. Also for trellises, window box planters and some styles of fences. I haven't looked closely at free standing planters to know if it's true for them. What I do know is people who prefer cedar will pay a premium for it.
@@zone4garlicfarm Aside from a couple of heavy PT timber benches, I haven’t ventured into outdoor furniture, but agree cedar is favorable and offers timeless beauty.
I also make window boxes and a variety of planters. Some are sold through consignment with local markets with a lot of pass-through traffic. I’ve experienced about 50/50 sales on PT vs Cedar and the occasional cypress (plenty of that in the Mobile delta region). In those cases, I’ll only offer one or the other so as not to compete with myself, plus inventory is simpler.
@@BradyHommel Cedar will gray out which is still quite beautiful, unless you don't tell the customer and you have over 500ln' of fence installed they want fixed lol
Really appreciate your videos
So much detail and free info
Definitely going to get a few of your plans for the other planters. Thank you
Where do you advertise the planters for sale please?
Awesome. Glad to hear that thank you for the comment! I always had the best luck on Facebook marketplace honestly. That is where I sold the majority of my planters and custom furniture. Then once you sell some word of mouth starts to work and people reach out to you saying "so and so told me about you"
loved it❤❤❤. So much information with a great tutorial like we were all your students sitting 🪑 in class. Woodworking 101. Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing you again ❤❤❤. Thank you 🙏
Awesome! I appreciate your comment. Very encouraging Thank you!
Brad , how much do you normally sell the small planters for ?
What do they sell for? Great video btw.
😮😮
How do I get the plans for #2 and #3 planters?
With the first planter, how long have you found they last with the PT pine? I only ever seem to see these made from cedar but can’t find the cedar pickets. Hoping to build these but worried about the PT. Thanks!
I have had trouble finding cedar as well. With the PT ones if you seal them good enough and reseal as needed they will last a very long time.
@bradyhommel Hi! I sent you a message on your site about some plans I just purchased. I was unable to read some of the numbers on the cutlist for the 3 - 2x4 nightstand build.
What hose do you use for your festool sander? Doesnt seem like one from a festool dust extractor. Plugged into shop vac?
It is the one that came with it. It is the cheapest festool dust extractor you can buy and it came with a gray hose when I bought it. I think the bigger more expensive ones come with green ones.
How much are people getting for then 2 picket planter? I’d hate to only get $40 for a couple or few hours of work.
Standard wood glue, even Titebond III for outdoor use, won't hold well long term on treated lumber. You need to use a urethane glue like Gorilla Glue
I was wondering how long those wood floor boards last? With constant plant watering won't those wood floor boards rot out in a season?
Hey . What tent is that in the beginning of the video ?
God bless you thank you .Hendon south Africa
Thank you!
Just curious, are you using no rusting screws?...ie. stainless screws, silicone bronze screws or decking screws
Yes I used decking screws meant for pressure treated wood
I'm guessing old shop footage yeah?
I didn't catch your last 2 video's apparently in my feed. Fail.
See youre still traveling though, and the tent thing is neat too.
Yes! Reminiscing haha. I miss having a shop but that time will come again! Yes that tent is awesome!
Question Brady, do you sell just the planters, or do you place a plant in it?
I sell just the planters themselves. I Do stage them and take good pictures of them with plants in it though.
Can I use finishing nails if I don’t have a brad nailer?
Absolutely!
What prices are you all charging for each of these planter?
Brady, I know you’re not missing that Northern weather, but I suspect not having the shop is tough!
Not having a shop has definetly been one of the toughest parts! Haha. I definetly miss going out and tinkering around building stuff. And honestly the warm winter and nice weather has been nice but I actually did miss the cold and spending my evenings relaxing by the wood stove. But those times will come again! Until then traveling has been great

I thought you were saying lags. I was like where the fucks the lag bolts.
😂 lots of people think I'm saying that. Idk I say legs all f*cked up. Lol
@@BradyHommelI’m weakkkkk.
I immediately think of lt. Dan…
“ MY LLAAAAGSSSSS!!!!”
12:41 where did you get the mask you are wearing?
just order a couple of plans it was missing the side table plans. I received 2 patio chair plans. Just tried to send a message on your website and it said it was a demo template and could not send the message. order 1147 ordered 5/14/2024
High cost, low profile, that is what you want to do say.
No
problem i see is people watch these videos and saturate the market..lots of people selling items like this in my area..
The key is to use creativity. Take what you see and put an added touch on it to stand out from the rest. It could be as simple as just the way you finish it.
I see no problems, only opportunities.
I swear you could not be more complicated . Your instructions are so all over the place. Maybe slow down and explain it slowly and not so all over the damn place . This is supposed to be for beginners? It’s obvious you do woodworking for a living . Maybe consider slowing down and try to remember that not everyone does this and , yes if I made a bunch of these especially the 2 nd one I would be able to slap them together easy as well but I gave up trying to follow you and write down notes. So annoying I didn’t even watch the assembly of second video much less the last 2.
Damn dude. I usually get comments on how easy I make things so this one is a surprise. I hope your day improves after this.
@@BradyHommel Couldn't have been more clear, easy, etc.
@@BradyHommelNever mind the naysayers. These miserable wretches have nothing better to do than blame others for their own failings. After all, “it’s obvious you’re a woodworker”😂.
@BradyHommel ..don't listen to the bad .I'm a woman thinking about making some of these as a first time beginner because of the ease of your instructions. If I get lost ..GUESS WHAT I will just keep REwatching your video 😂 because it didn't dissappear after I watched it..lmao
Your name said it all for me!!
Watcherdude!!
Go sit in the corner boy, grown folks are talking 😂
