    Dude! I so wish more people providing tutorials would watch this video and get a feel for how true, GOOD COMMUNICATION and knowledge sharing is done. You, my friend, are an amazing teacher! Don't change a thing. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Really beautiful work here. Love the finished product - but even more importantly (for me anyway) I love how easily I was able to understand so effortlessly what you wanted me to learn. Bravo! And thank you!

    Great job on your presentation brother. I'm pallet&crate wood hobbyist/builder. I love this build you've done here. It would be pretty simple to modify this build into a 2 tier, or 3, or more even. Really cost effective. Those of us who still don't have a pocket hole gig won't modify the build any to reproduce it.

    Thanks so much. I built this planter yesterday. This video was a guide step-by-step on what to do how long to cut the pieces and everything and because of that I was able to build that planter. Thank you so much the other videos that I watch don’t walk you through the process they want you to head over to the website to purchase their plans but it helps to have that guided assistance especially for someone who in experienced like myself. Thank you so much because of this I have subscribed to your channel and I hit the like button. Thanks again.

    Did you make those chairs outside? Do you have a video? Also can you please do a pool lounger?

    Will Titebond II work for these types of pressure treated planks?

      @BradyHommel  Рік тому +1

      Yes it will. As long as the lumber isn't to wet on the surface. Best to allow the wood to sit in your shop a couple days.

      @@BradyHommel Thanks. I went with the Titebond III and made 2 of them this past weekend.

    How would I expand this to make the planter 4'x3' and 30 inches deep?

    Not sure if someone already asked but...did you make the chairs with the short backs? From the beginning of your video.
