Planter Box Selling Tips and Tricks. Make Money Woodworking. Projects That Sell. 

Aaron, I am a retired guy and your videos have given me a new spirit ! Your kindness in showing and sharing your work and plans have helped me to get off the couch and make things again. Thanks a bunch.

I run the marketing department of a software startup as my day job. I’ve always messed around with woodworking and wanted to take it a bit more seriously and maybe write off some tools and my shop. I decided to give the planter thing a shot, with my own USP and marketing flair. “Product market fit” is an understatement here. I did $5700 in sales my first week. Been waking up at 5AM and going to bed at 11PM to keep up with orders and my day job. Re-arranging my shop and likely hiring some help. You’re providing people with some life changing stuff my guy! If you ever want a guest to talk shop on marketing I’d be happy to join.

Your smug answer to the shrinkage question had me cackling! That alone deserves a sub. Pair that with really awesome information and I am setting up all notifications! Thank you so much for all of the information you have provided.

You are amazing! I love your energy and your wonderful attitude. Than you for all that you do! You have such an unselfish way that you do things. I really enjoy you and your wonderful projects. I can't tell you how refreshing you are! I am so happy that you are doing so well. Hats off to you and I wish you all the best. Keep up the great work! So much respect! 👍😎🌻

Not only are you a good teacher, you are very relatable. Appreciate how easy going you come across as well as offering the free plans. Thank you!

Trevor... I mean Aaron, you are the boss, sorry the Voss. You have a great attitude plus you share all of your building tips, etc for free. That kind of spirit is not common place these days and I very much appreciate all that you do!

Thanks for all your kindness with sharing. I screw my tops on as well as nail and glue. Customers be rough on stuff.

Absolutely another fantastic video, Aaron. You are so generous sharing this and absolutely a great teacher. Wishing you all the success in all your endeavors. Take care ...

Just sold a 3 picket planter and a long planter this weekend (first builds) for $120. I also sold a few other pieces (from another channel) for a total of $180 for the price of 14 pickets, nails and glue. Now my wife wants the hanging post planter ASAP. I did however miss the outside side brace on the long planter. Thanks for the plans and God Bless!

You’re just genuinely a good guy. I love watching your stuff.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar

I bought over 100 pickets on the culled pile once. They were cracked and split but really good boards. I glues the splits and used em right up.

❤❤❤ your video and salesmanship, and to the point ..love your personality too!! Thanks for the info!!

I have been selling a lot of these three picket box's on Facebook Market Place this Spring. Thanks for the plans.

Great Video, Good info. One of my buddies has a fence company that builds new and does replacements. He brings his tear outs over saving him money from buying a dumpster to get rid of material. Now I have endless pickets. Mostly cedar since most people are replacing with vinyl. if anybody wants to make friends with their local fence company they literally throw this stuff away as trash. Happy picket hunting!

Ive done this! Sold them all!!! Ty

Outstanding videos dude 🤙🏻 Thanks for all the great information. Keep them coming!

Im a hobby woodworker and sell the raised planters at spring. I build about the same ones but with taller legs. Im going to build one or two of your bench ones. Great idea.

😮 You literally gate keep nothing... nothing that I'm aware of! 😊 This is super helpful. This is my first time building planters but I am handy so I only messed one up! 😅 Everything is so easy to follow along and the free plans are great. I feel like a like and a share isn't a good enough thank you but Thank You!!!

I really appreciate your info dude!!! Thank you very much 👍

Great video, thank you so much for all this useful information!

Good info and thank you for sharing Keep building

my god last 10 seconds just made my day appreciate that

Awesome video and thanks for sharing your plans with us

Thanks for all of your great ideas

Outstanding!!! thank you

I like your woodworking video you let us beginners know what you sell them for thats a great info. Thank you for your help

Your videos keeping us laughing and learning thank you

You're the Real MVP 💞

Hey Aaron thanks for your videos! I'm a beginner woodworker myself and sold some planters throughout last year and this year, haven't done any of your designs yet but I'll be trying the 7-picket long planter soon, your picket pricing sounds crazy up north, I'm in Texas and the most I pay for Cedar pickets is usually $2.35 per 6ft cedar picket

Awesome presentation and helpful

Great info! I hope much success for you.

Great channel dude, thank you for all the tips..

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much for your videos and free plans! I have been churning out your long box, with small tweaks, for over a month now and can barely keep up. I have learned so much about building from watching your videos as well as all the practice I’ve been getting with the planters. 😊

Good video. Addressing common problems is very helpful. I'm sure I'll see your pics plastered on my local market place lol.

9:59 got you a like and subscribe! But for real, quality video - tons of useful tips, no filler, and I like your presentation style.

You are awesome, love your work and videos. I’ve learned so much from your videos, thank you for sharing.

Awesome video…..ima 71 yr old crafter of all trades. But I love Wood…I don’t like shopping but ask me to go to Lowe’s, Menards or Homedepot and I’m running to the car.

thank you

Dude. This is awesome. I’ve made a couple of your sets and created some plans in AutoCAD with the “Voss method”. Works great to maximize the lumber usage! 🤘🏼 thanks so much! Wanna buy some planters?!? 😂

Mate, Love the content and plans. Thank you very much. Is it possible to have a shop tour video? Thanks!

Thank you ,may God bless you😅

I see those Red Stars!!

I brought in a sample to work and sold quite a few plus got custom orders. No one seemed aware there were tons available on marketplace so I managed to cut that out.

Another great video Aaron! You’re a rockstar for sharing your free plans and tips and tricks with us!! Sp appreciated! I may need to consider cleaning out a storage space by next spring in my 12’x16’ shed for purchasing a full pallet of pickets. Talk to me about your thoughts on the Brad nails vs 1” exterior screws, simply time difference it would take to use the screws?

Thank you for all your videos and information. I have sold a few based on your plans. People love them! I do have a question. Do you plane or sand these down at all? And is it required to plane or sand them before you seal? Customers I have sold to don’t seem to mind the rough look of the cedar boards.

10.37 for a 6 foot picket in my area of Canada. Still going to make some

This was some great information, thanks alot, much appreciated. The picket fences I buy from my hardware store are pine, what would you suggest finishing it with if i don't want it natural?

Thank you so much for all your planter videos, especially this one. I am thinking about making a video similar to this one, but targeted to customers that has all of your tips on care and maintenance for these boxes after the sale. I don't want the customer to have a bad experience because they did something with the product that they shouldn't have. You are too good to us. Is there any place or way that we can throw some coin to you after we make some $$$ from making your stuff and selling it?

Thanks for all the tips. I did notice that you dropped the price from your build video of the bench planter from $80 to $60. It this because it wasn’t selling at that price or another reason. Getting ready to post my planters on Facebook and just curious what effected the price. Awesome and very informative videos.

This channel is awesome. That's all I got.

Any ideas other than Lowe's for the pickets? Ours only has pressure treated dog ear pickets.

Great video and I appreciate your time. I was wondering what you use for software to edit your pictures or create your photos of your projects for resale ?

Do you run one side of your boards through a planer to get that clean look on the outside? All cedar pickets in my area have the fuzzies on all faces. Thanks for everything.

Love the content, thank you for this! But I repeat…when’s the laser coming?!

Thank you for all the videos and free plans. I see you don't have boxes B and C separately. What do you charge for them individually?

Curious if a little pancake compressor is good enough for a quick clear coat job, or if something larger is needed?

Great video and entertaining. I just started watching your channel and I am a new subscriber. I just started selling on FB market place and was wondering when you make a sale locally do you give out your home address or do you make deliveries? Thank you and keep up the great job.

Thanks for the planter plans. Made a killing this spring so far! I have had a couple of customers who have asked me for kits. Do you have plans for making kits? If so can you make a video for that?

Love your work! Curious though, is there a difference between cedar and incense cedar? Menards doesn’t specify but Lowe’s does. I wasn’t sure if there was a difference or which you used.

I cant get cedar pickets in central florida area always sold out and they wont order.

Thank you for what you are doing. I would like to make a window planter. How easy would it be to to take the 46'' planter into a window planter.

Thanks for sharing but curious how you came up your dimensions including heights ?

Thanks for the plans. I have sold around 8 planter boxes based on your plan and am continuing to make them for sale. When i posted this on a woodworking forum i am being told that nails and glue is not sufficient because it will fall apart and in addition to whar i have done to reinforce with screws because your customers will call you back for repair. I have not added screws. Can you kindly let me know if you are having these issues and should i do something different?

What sprayer is that you found? I can't find a $15 sprayers anywhere. =)

How much time does it take you to build like a 16x16 planter box? I charge $40 for mine in Tennessee. But my wood store is 30 minutes, and so I would spend about 2 hours just getting wood.

What size boards are you buying?

Where are you located ? Seen the map and looked close to where I grew up

Where do you get your cedar pickets? I'm in the northeast and all I can find is PT Pine.

i live outside of Chicago and havent started building yet. is it too late?

when you give the size of the boxes where are you measuring from?

Why is it when I click on the given website to get some of the plans that are supposedly free....I can neve get any of them? Just asking.

Has anyone been able to download any plans? I can't seem to get any of them.

What kind of deal do you have with your local flower/plant shop? How are the profits split?

By the way the picture shows 48 inches for the long planter but the video for the tall planter build shows 45 inches.

The online plans aren't loading for some reason

Can you build market and sell these for me

you should be using a resperator when spraying. also you are chargeing too little for spraying.

What are the dimensions?

I am ready for the Music video

Where r the plans?

Where are you located

My Lowes just has the pickets outback by the thousands...

Speaking of Facebook. I stalked you..... then requested friendship😢.lol

I’ve been selling these for about a month and half and sold $19000 worth of planters. Thanks for the design it really helped my business get off the ground.

Lowes

🤣🤣 picket fence planks are the pallet wood of the last decade 😂 still cheaper to use the pallet wood

Mr. Garrison? Drugs are bad mmmmkkk

I do this. Scotland uk. I write NO OFFERS in the first line of the advert and at rhe end. I still get asked if i will accept less. I used to have a very sarcastic response to these arse oles. But now i iust ignore them

Great video with the information I needed for my fledgling business.

We're very lucky in Australia, growing season is all year round. Timber prices are very different $6 for a 72x4x⅝. Trying to field a reasonable price for here
