It's actually awesome that you showed the mistake and how to repair it. Mistakes are a part of woodworking and brainstorming fixes is a talent. Those planters turned out beautifully. I would add that I think this would be a terrific first time woodworker project.
Your planter boxes look awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and being so honest with the mistake you made and showing us how to fix it. You are awesome. Thanks again.
Looks awesome! My only suggestion, coming from a metalworking background, is to remove the millscale from the angle iron, then prime and paint. Millscale is a thin layer of oxide that forms during the milling of the steel, and while you can just paint over it like you did, youll get a smoother surface, and a longer lasting paint job if you remove it first. I've always sandblasted or ground it off, but there are chemical removers as well.
I lined the inside walls of my planter box with high density foam. This helped to keep the dirt cooler and lessen the water evaporation because the boxes received a lot of sun. one other thing, I made wooden legs and to keep them off the ground I used feet that would normally be used on the bottom of a cutting board
Love the project. Purchased the plans which are very detailed and easy to follow. I am just starting to use a router and not sure what angle chamfer bit you used. I am going to purchase the angle you used. Thank you!
I think the depth of the dirt is a waist, but every person can make the height of to floor where they so choose. How ever I sure do like the look of your planters . Just thought cutting back on the potting soil would save some on the cost .
Great planter box. Would it work if I had a false bottom halfway up so I don’t have to use as much dirt? Anyway, they are beautiful and something I am interested in making.
@@MWAWoodworks im gathering that its not gonna have the same fit n finish… i think itll suffice for a planter. I just cant see spending $14 per 1x4x12 cedar board
I like the look of the timber oil. That’s a new one to me. Is there a certain brand that you prefer? I really like your color choice…what color is it? Thanks.
Very nice build and like the look with the black legs and cedar wood. I do have one question though, it looks like the screws that hold the legs to the planter are holding all the weight of the planter box and whatever gets put into the planter box. So what would the weight limit be on one of these you show? I know it would all depend on the length of the planter box and depth. Cheers
Great video, thanks for posting! How much do you estimate this weighs with it full of dirt? Thinking of building this and putting on my deck, concerned about the weight though.
coulda just gone with a slightly wider piece of angle iron.. 2.5" angle instead. granted, unless you did all the planters that way, it would look odd. and of course would add cost.. or change to 2.5" aluminum and since larger angle, wouldn't necessarily have to go to 1/4" thick. just side thoughts. cool build though.
