If anyone is interested in coop plans the greatest success that I have had was by following the Coop Magic Tactic (i found it on google) definately the no.1 course that I've tried.
@@gmrrnracr Exactly...gardeners would cringe if plastic is used. Secondly, Crafted Workshop's version is very nice but it's decorative.

Master Gardner, GREAT PROGRAM!!!! My dad was a primary organizer and instructor, he was a University of Idaho County Extension Educator and my mother was a "Master" Master Gardner and one of the 1st one's in our area. One suggestion for angle iron is to break down an old metal bed frame, which you can get pretty cheap at thrift stores or just find free, and you have a very inexpensive building material. Lastly, my personal recommendation is to use a higher grade weed fabric instead of plastic. But that's just me. Nice build!
@@JAMAICAN876 Aluminum angle is very strong being the weight is being transferred to the screws attaching to the box. Use construction adhesive. Better yet order Bostiks Grip n Grab. Waaaay better and faster initial bite when attaching
Just made this as a gift for my mom for Mother's Day. Came out great! Thanks for the video and plans, they were very easy to follow. My only feedback would be to include a brief explanation on how you would make these without some of the more expensive tools. Keep it up!
Built three of these last year for my backyard gardening. I did not know to add a plastic drop cloth to retain moisture, so didn't do very well. Will try again this year a bit better informed thanks to this video!
I recommend using landscape fabric instead of the plastic. It is durable, holds dirt in. Lets water drain out. And maybe extra oxygen for the plant roots
I thought so too but he used pressure-treated pine on the bottom, meaning that you need some kind of non-permeable barrier to protect the plants from the chemicals in the wood.
Great job! Looks nice and clean. Just one tip for the metal cutting you did. When making straight cuts the blade will last 5-10x as long if you cut the angle with both ends facing down and the center/v facing up. Cutting the way you did I get 30-50 cuts. With the v facing up I get 100+
beautiful.....simple IF you have all these neat tools in your tool barn? Great job....gonna give these instructions to my carpenter.....have a great garden x💐
I built this planter box this weekend thanks to your video. I was surprised how long it took! Basically took me 8 hours to build one long 9' box. Next weekend I will build another one a little bit faster! It was my first time working with steel it was super fun!
Filter Fabric might have been a better option than the plastic. If you buy the right kind it will last 15+ years and is porous enough to allow proper drainage without losing any soil at all out the bottom of the box.
@@hellensmart6601 probably not at a Joann store (never heard of this place) but a local landscape supplier or big box store like Home Depot, Lowes, and even Walmart/Target (during the season) will have it. something like www.lowes.com/pd/Hanes-Geo-Components-TerraTex-360-ft-x-15-ft-Black-Nonwoven-Geotextile/3316316 Though it is expensive most places have rolls of the stuff and you can just get cut the amount you need.
@@zanesrg299 if you use textile not plastic it is risk that wood starts to rot. It is better use plastic as in movie, put on the bottom drain layer (expanded clay) than horizontal geotextile, and than soil. I have flower pots in fruit crates with geotextile, it is good solution for roots, but not so good for ceates and wood.
Why do people always have this complaint? Just because he used a bunch of expensive tools to do it doesn't mean it is necessary it just made it easier work. It really is a simple job you don't even need an miter saw. This could be accomplished with a hand saw and a cheap drill really. Or a cheap circular saw if necessary. The pocket hole stuff isn't too pricey and it's not even a need for this job. Of course add some other basic hand tools like a hammer and some cutters. If you want any easier than this you better just go get a kit ready to assemble I guess.
You only need a miter saw, sander, and drill. It takes a little more time without the fancy tools, but don't think you need them. 1) The pocket hole jig is just used to save a bit of time; there are countless joints you could use instead, but the easiest here would just be to use a strip of wood to screw into. 2) The belt grinder was just used to deburr. The most common tool for doing that is actually a simple hand file, but you can use anything from a sharping block to a literal rock. 3) Finish nailguns in general are just time savers. They actually add no strength to wood and are just intended to hold the project together so you can keep working while the glue drys. 4) While clamps aren't strictly required here, I would still recommend simple bar or pipe clamps. They are cheap and versatile. 5) You can easily cut angle iron on a cheap miter saw if you swap to a metal grinding disk. 6) You can use a basic sander to prep the metal for paint. Any sander(include hand sanding) can sand metal. I use a random orbit sander to resurface my cast iron cook ware. You should check out the woodworking for mere mortals series by Steve Ramsey. He teaches how to do projects using only basic tools.
This is an incredible worth for money [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I have been looking for something like this for quite a while now. I'm happy there are opportunities like this out there. This woodwork plan made a clear presentation with regards to building sheds. Much thanks to you.?
I’ve just made some planters. A lot more hours than you think, plenty timber and over 100 screws. Anyway I folded my liner over the main part of the box and then fixed my trim top on. Staples are so weak and rust to mush. Top tip from me 😁
It is extremely simple, though. If you actually listen to what he says during the video, he explains how simply they can be made. Maybe woodworking isn't for you.
my favorite combo right there, where you combine steel and wood. Came out great. 1 question though, did you put a sealer on the cedar. if not it will loose that beautiful golden color and turn grey in a yr. I just built 2 , 30 ft cedar planters and sealed them with DEFY extreme. Id recommend a quality sealer if you want to keep them looking as nice as they do now. BTW they way your mom opened the soil bag from the bottom like a boss. we've been doing it wrong all these yrs lol.
Hey, Johnny, I love the well-equipped workshop you have. I promised myself that when I win a stupid big amount in the lottery, I'll have a workshop just like yours and then I can let my dreams and creativity fly! ;) Thanks man.
lmao super simple DIY...forgets to mention thats only true if you have a mini shop in your garage or something! i love the idea of this planter, i surely cant pull this off...i lost confidence when you pulled out those things that kept all the corners together and tight when you lined them all up😂
Edward Aguirre and in the intro he said “ it could easily be made with a drill and mitre saw”. I still watched even though I quickly realized it was too advanced for me.
90% of the DIY planter box videos are made from guys that have a wood shop, which definitely makes these "advanced DIYs" - having said that, good video, good instructions, cool tools.
Anna Lore don’t use tools as an excuse. You could make it with a mitre saw, hacksaw and drill, if you don’t see the simplicity then woodworking is not the hobby for you
"just a miter saw and a drill" Here I used my sander, my clamps, my pocket hole jig, my belt grinder, and my miter saw that can cut steel. Come on man, this isn't a simple build lol
Perhaps I am not the viewer you are going for, however, it would have been wonderful to see you build the second one with only the Miter Saw and Drill. Currently it is just unrealistic with my available equipment to follow your outlined steps.
What is considered a DIY project to you then? You can forgo the metal legs and be able to build this with a hand saw, and a screwdriver if you wanted to.
Skip the metal legs: you need saw and a hammer, To get it better quality with less effort a handdrill and a miter box - if you have a fancy electric drill and willing to get metal legs cut in length you can add the holes your own To make it faster you can use tablesaw/mitersaw, nail gun, stapler ejc
Even the metal legs aren't an issue using a $30 angle grinder and a cutting disc. If you have the tools he has, use them. If not, there are other ways to cut and drill that don't require this level of tools. It will just take you longer to accomplish.
A decent miter saw isn't that expensive ( $200 12" Dewalt) and you can easily use a power drill to drill the holes vs. a drill press. Also, use a $30 angle grinder with cutting disc to cut through the angle iron rather than a chop saw. Even if you were to get all of this, you could still get by for about $500 at Harbor Freight.
@@craftedworkshop It's like people watch your videos with the sound muted and don't hear lines like "I cut this on my metal chop saw, but you could also use aluminum and an angle grinder".
Not sure what people are complaining about with the tools. Most of them you should already own if you are going to do any wood working. You can buy a miter saw with a laser guide at Home Depot for about $300. That's the most expensive piece of equipment I saw used. This was a great video and it looks like a pretty easy project to knock out on a weekend. Definitely going to give it a try.
This is such a good project. We have walnut trees in our yard and the falling walnuts create such an acidic soil. These boxes would prevent that. Good job, man!

Can the aluminum hold the weight of the box filled with wet soil?

this is awesome id love to try it. all i need is a miter saw, some clamps, wood glue, sander, staple gun, drill
you just need one thing. MONEY !
Don’t forget a metal saw and whatever it was he used to make the edges less lethal
Great planters, so lucky you have festool sponsoring you!!
Thanks man!
This looks so much fun! I just need all those amazing tools
Amazing craftsmanship. Awesome
Filter Fabric might have been a better option than the plastic. If you buy the right kind it will last 15+ years and is porous enough to allow proper drainage without losing any soil at all out the bottom of the box.

Simple to build? You used probably $2000 worth of equipment to build all this
Not even close. A few hundred if you buy a chop saw.
A decent miter saw isn't that expensive ( $200 12" Dewalt) and you can easily use a power drill to drill the holes vs. a drill press. Also, use a $30 angle grinder with cutting disc to cut through the angle iron rather than a chop saw. Even if you were to get all of this, you could still get by for about $500 at Harbor Freight.
They look beautiful and fancy. Great job.
Do you really think this is a DIY? i dont think so
Good luck
Just finished this. It was easy but I had to improvise a little as I didn’t have all the tools. But very easy and the results came out amazingly.
These people love to complain about the tools but it really is a pretty basic build. Glad it worked out for you!
