The $6 Planter - Low Cost High Profit - Make Money Woodworking
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- Yes, you can build this beautiful planter box for less than the cost of a single 2x4. So we all have a problem right now with our woodworking business or side hustle... the price of lumber is out of control. Well, I designed this planter to help solve our problem. I call it my 3 picket planter. It can literally be made from 3 fence pickets! The current price of a treated fence picket in my area is $1.99. And even better if you have access to used pickets!
So you can build this planter for around $6! And these planters aren't small. As far as what you can sell them for you'll have to research your area. I know what the big box stores are getting and it's crazy high.

Bought your plans which I was a bit apprehensive because I hate spending where I don’t need too, but! It was well worth it. Sold 10 in 2 days at $45 each. But I’m going to have to charge a little more. They take up a little more time that is like. Thank you for posting your videos!
Awesome! People love these things!
Before buying plans I'd love to know if I can use 1x4 scrap I have
@@spiritofscouse Yes. You’ll just have to modify the 5 1/2 boards which are the walls. Simple work around
Beautiful... I am planning to go to a woodworking class so I can build ...
Awesome job Adriel. How did you find your customers?
"Most people can't visualize, so I do it for them" Wow. Fantastic advice! Great work designing these!
Thanks!
That’s been my biggest problem, can’t visualize anything.
Matt, I don’t waste time searching on UA-cam for ideas and plans. I go right to YOU. You don’t start off saying we need a $15,000 Jointer and a professional looking shop. You understand your subscribers and want us to succeed.
Thank you for inspiring all of us!
Same. He makes it look and sound easy 🎁
You can get a benchtop grizzly for 300-450… idk where 15000 comes from i think 1500 is the most ever spent on a jointer…
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
Scam
I was laid off my high-paying office job three months ago due to the recession (I'm 26, single homeowner with some debt to pay) and have been woodworking as a hobby for almost three years, while I got a part time job that barely pays half my bills and searching for a second job, I really need to find a way to make money with what I have. I have an expensive shop and stacks of pallet wood I collected for free (20+ pallets).
I bought these plans, never supported someone else or used Etsy before but I feel inspired to just get to work, stop complaining, get something done and do it properly to make money, learn and maybe finally get my fire going again! Getting laid off was like being rammed by a car but I needed to be humbled.
Thank you for these videos, subbed and will update if all goes well!
Great idea. I’ve been using pickets for bird houses for years, but haven’t thought of this. Thanks!
My man... This is super awesome, super affordable and pretty straight forward to make and take on. All because of you and your patience to make it that way. You're awesome for sharing this with us AND showing us the build process. Along with your tips and tricks. Thank you! Cheers from Texas 🍻
I've recommended some of my friends here in South Africa to have a look at your channel. (All guys with their own issues such as mine was, before I had a look for myself) We're all in agreement that your way of handling problems and helping people see that you don't need everything all at once, can be used in life and not just in woodworking. So from the boys in South Africa... Thank you. I hope your kids realize what a champ they have for a dad and an example as a Man.
You Sir, are the best. Thank you for giving us your ideas, and for keeping it simple. Other woodworking youtube people have instructions like "lay this sheet of Baltic Birch plywood into your CNC machine..." (thanks for nothing). I have made several of you items, and I will be making this planter tomorrow. Please keep them coming, it is greatly appreciated. Big fan of fence pickets, I made Elevated, raised garden beds 4'x4', with fence pickets, because of the cost of lumber. THANK YOU!
Thanks Mike! Yea I know what ya mean with some other channels. And that’s fine too for folks with the machines. But I try to focus on teaching things that most anyone can do. Thanks for supporting the channel!
God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
Have a blessed day!

Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
Que tengas un hermoso dia!

@@lopezfam7317 Amen! May God bless you and your family as well.
My dad passed away at 94 this year.
I have all his tools and tons of lumber that he had. Going to make projects to sale and some to donate. Watching your videos are a Hugh help. Your very talented and your instruction are fantastic. Thank you so much
More so than the plans or tutorials (which I appreciate greatly!) is the fact that you tell us it's ok to mess up. The fact I heard that even you redid them makes me 100x more confident in making them. Thanks as always!
That’s what we do. Even the most skilled carpenter will never do a build where they don’t make a mistake… that’s the issue with some channels. They edit out mistakes… I believe that discourages people… so I leave mine in or talk about it. It’s an important part of learning.
I mentioned this to my wife after a messed up project. I really appreciate the 3 time approach, you learn a lot.
I’m 72, a woodworker as well. This is a very, very well thought out organized video of a very practical gift/money-maker. Well done!
Love your videos as a disable Vet woodworking is my happy place. Thank you for all the time you put in to this videos👍
Boy, let me tell you, I'm a late bloomer, 52 years old and have only been doing any sort of wood working for the past four or five years. Since finding your channel, I am learning so much from you. Thank you Matt.
Lloyd
Truro Nova Scotia, Canada
No worries! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Lloyd.
He is pretty great.Like you I didn't start until my 50's and Mathew has been a godsend for novice woodworkers.
I started woodworking but basic, very basic things because I only have basic tools, I just purchased a table saw a few months ago but we haven't set it up yet, we need a non-raney weekend to set it up but anyways I'm 51 although I did take wood shop and junior high school so I have that, I think it's great that we're starting in our 40/50s, it makes our brains work harder which is better in the long run for all of us. 🙂
Hey Lloyd... I'm just outside of Halifax. He does have some great content doesn't he.
Cheers brother!
@@killawee118 hey, how goes it? Feel free to look up my very un-editted videos.like and subscribe, ya never what you will see on there.
Just wanted you to know, I am a musician by trade, a mailman for my local County by day......I absolutely love what you do, I am nowhere near a woodworker but have been intrigued for years. Enough to have been collecting all the tools I need to do woodworking. Your vids have inspired me to start a new business at 58....Like I need to do that! But you need to know that your teaching and explanations have got my creative mind going to pick a handful of you creations and move forward. I just wanted to say THANK YOU SIR!!! I look forward to seeing what I can do.
I’ve been feeling the exact same way at 57 lol. Starting this business and another stand leaving corporate America and all the ideologies in the dust this is rewarding compared to that mentally draining stuff
Great video - sharing the idea, the way you designed the assembly to be easy, the focus on keeping cost low but quality high, and explaining how to market and display and sell the product. Far more than a typical diy video
I feel like you have gone inside my head. I was literally just sitting at my desk looking at the cost of cedar fence pickets on a big box store website wondering to myself how I could use those to make an inexpensive planter to resell. I walked out to my truck, opened UA-cam, and you were the very first video showing me exactly how to do what I wanted to do. Well done sir
Was looking for a good Mother's day gift. I bought your plans and look forward to the build. Thanks for posting mate.
Great video again Matthew and what a nice little planter those are. Nice to have another way to make some money in these tough times with lumber so outrageously priced
I appreciate that you said it took you three prototypes to get to this result. My first attempt is not going to look ANYTHING like yours, but you're an inspiring teacher. Thanks for this video!!
- Such QUALITY work ! ! ! I enjoy watching you work & explain each step. Soft angles make the most plain woodwork look GREAT. Thanx 4 sharing.
Here is a tip for Home Depot.
Go in a search the scrap pile at the back and the fence pickets for ones that would not look good on a fence.
Talk to the employee.
I have bought relatively good pickets with one end messed up for 75 percent off.
Now that is Awesome Shawn. I bet they have a lot of cull boards.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking our Home Depot did until I cleaned them out.
Home Depot in my area mark them with purple paint.
75 percent off.
I got 400 dollars worth of fence pickets for a 100 dollars.
I looked for an employee first and told them what I was doing.
I took ALL the bad ones.
Even if they were too messed up for me to use.
Sorted them out onto a cart
Let them look and mark
They were happy to get rid of them.
They did not have to sort them.
Saved them work.
Sanded them down and installed them horizontally on a wall to make it look like Ship Lap.
If I had that to do over again, I would paint the wall the color of the stain before installation.
Also would have bought a Harbor Freight planer to save the sanding.
I've been remodeling my house and as an amateur wood worker and more I get frustrated with this remodel process. I stumbled across your channel while looking for ideas and I have got to say that the past week or so when I get frustrated with the remodel I sit and watch your videos. YOU are so calm, collected and you explain things in regular terms that anyone can understand. As an example, I just watched this video on the planter boxes, do I want to build them? No I don't, but it was relaxing and allowed me to get my focus back. I REALLY appreciate your channel and I will be building some of your work in the future...... if I survive this remodel! Time to get back to the kitchen cabinets build! THANK YOU!
I had the same thought, very well explained how-to video. I’m a newbie wood worker. Mathew’s video gave me inspiration & confidence to try to build these for personal use. Thank you, Mathew!
The very best thing he brings into your life is his approach and techniques to wood working. It's helped me in all aspects of working on and with things in general, woods particularly.
This is fantastic!!! Made 2 for my house and posted pics on Facebook, everyone loved them, so I posted a link to this video. Keep these videos going! They are amazing!
Tbh I come to your channel a lot when I get frustrated and think of giving up. I appreciate your enthusiasm and business minded approach. These planters are great!
So I watched this and my first thought was that is pretty cool but there is no way it is going to be as popular as Matthew says. My second was why not try it and see it will only cost a few dollars to try. I am now the owner of a woodworking company and have never been so busy. Thank You!!!
This is a perfect use for all the leftover pickets I have from building my privacy fence last summer. Definitely going to build a few of these!
Great use of recycled pickets too I'd wager!!
This build has EASY MONEY written all over it Matthew. And it can be accomplished with some minimal expense on materials. Heck of a hook-up, thanks a bunch.🙏
Built 5 of the fan trellis at Easter for gifts. Had to modify it a bit on the overall length to use a pallet of leftover pickets that were cut short on a project. Got a great deal at Lowes on them. The trellis was a huge hit and everyone that saw them loved them. Definitely about to build these planters to go with them. Thanks for all the info!!!!!!
Love these! Just made myself a pair this afternoon! Great design. Thank you very much!
Great video and perfect timing. I Just bought some cedar pickets last night to make some planter boxes for a couple of shrubs. I was going to try my luck making them from some I photos I took but not I don’t have . Big thank you, your channel is awesome
This is awesome! Not just the product but the way you walked us through building our own business.
Thank you for sharing measurements and what a great video that you give and explain how to put these together. Your videos are my number one to go to because you really know how to explain and show us how to do things the easy way. Thank you for what you do.
I feel ya even the white wood in my area is $7, been doin pretty good with the fan trellis you showed us, i like to use the 2x4 for the trellis because I use the rounded edges for the cross members and people love it I seal them with a coat of poly, fence pickets are good price
Your videos are always fantastic. Thank you for the ideas, information and inspiration to keep on my (and I'm sure as a community, our) wood working journey. I made a very similar planter a little while ago, I had a someone come to me and ask if I could make them more rectangular, so I did. They loved them and from word of mouth I have now sold 18 planter boxes like these. They are a hit! Thanks for all you do, for all you give to us budding wood workers. Keep up the awesome work.
Just getting started and this is going to be my first project. Thank you for your time and explanation.
Wood working is something i have always wanted to do and your vides make it very accessible to a wood newb. When it comes to stone work, i can do anything but wood is a whole different game.
Love what you’re doing! Thanks for these types of videos, I eat them up!
I truly appreciate your content. You never ever miss a step and you are so inspiring to your viewers! Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Dee!
Wife needed baskets for our mudroom. Nothing the same size so your video inspired me. Made 5 of these with 4 different sizes. And they are perfect. Thanks for a great inspiring video.
And another great one! Keep them coming. I just posted my first video because of y'all, and they're gonna keep coming! Thanks Matt!
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing
OMG I have used fence pickets in every single project I have done! I just find a building design that i think looks nice and literally make everything up from there. Framing to finish. I have spent a lot of time learning what typical construction standards are so that i have a good point to begin. In the last 2 years I have built 2 chicken coops, 2 dove aviaries, dog kennels, and a small pool house. I think my dad would be proud of his little girl. I only discovered my passion for carpentry around 5 years ago. Its very hard to practice a skill you want to improve when you can not afford the damn materials. So finding materials that are more affordable have been essential. I would love to figure out a way to become skilled enough to actually make money. Im very excited I found your channel. Thanks!
Hi. Greetings from New York. How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there? Where are you from?
Jennifer, Looks like you found the channel to make money, I found that instead of just making one, I make 4 at a time. tools are already set to the correct measurement, so I multiply each cuts by 4 and run more boards through the same cut.
With all the things you have already built, you have more than enough skill, just go for it.
Amazing!! Your explanation and instruction makes this seem so easy. Thank you!
I love your video. I love how you break down the measurements, separate each piece of wood and your step by step way to screw the wood. I just subscribed and hope all your videos are this way
Excellent content, as always. Keep up the great work! Under rated channel here.
Ty sir!
I made one today from some 3 1/2" cedar fence pickets that I've had sitting around for a few years. My pickets were closer to 1/2" thick and way too soft for pocket holes, so I used glue & brad nails. I thought 1.25" seemed too narrow for the top trim so I used 2" strips. It turned out cute.
Was it pretty sturdy using wood glue and Brad nails?
@@livingthedreamhomestead1589 Yes, it's holding up fine so far.
Great design and simple to build. That 7 degree angle gives the planter a more “elegant” look that the four-square just don’t have. I can see my Men’s Shed group here in Scotland having a go at making some of these. Thanks for sharing 👍
That’s awesome. That looked so easy to do. Can’t wait to build some of these for my wife. Thanks for helping us out
After building one of these from the plans from your website, I have a couple of suggestions. On board three flip the placement of parts c and e with part I. This way a person can set the table saw and cut all remaining pickets to 2 inches wide with the last piece being 1 1/2 inch wide. Let I and H at 1 1/2 inch wide instead of 1 1/4 inch wide. The 1/4 inch does not make much difference and will add a little more support as the base. This also allows you to not have to reset the table saw to run these pieces through a second time
I'm not a woodworker, but I love this series, has me thinking of things I can make on my lathe or 3d printer that I can sell. You're creative and your mindset definitely has influenced me day to day
Matthew, thank you, I am looking forward building these and some of the other projects as I start my wood crafting "hobby"!!!
Just built 5 of these for all the 'mothers' in my life : )
Thank God I got my lumber for free bc pickets were over 7 bucks each in my area, and that's straight pine : /
Thanks so much for all the great ideas and advice!
Watching your vids has really uped my woodwork game... slowly gaining the confidence to start building for the purpose of selling.
Love the content. You give a ton of detail and show stuff that the average person can do with minimal tools. When I first started I had a table saw and a lot of hand tools set up in a shed no bigger than a pop up camper. Now that I'm more setup I still come back to see your projects and tricks. Btw what do you use to sharpen your chiselsto rhe right angles? I got a ton of garage sale ones and have been using my belt sander sense I don't have a wet stone and can never get a consistent angle
love watching your videos for new ideas, new to the fulltime woodworking. trying to get something going to make money for me instead of someone else.
Thanks Bill! "You'll never make any money carrying a lunch bucket" is what my pop used to tell me. Good luck!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking wish i would have started this a long time ago. blew out my back at work 2 years ago and doing this to keep from going absolutely bonkers plus to stay out of the wifes hair.
Just bought the plans for the planter. Going to make on for my step mom and my fiance for mothers day. When talking about it at work and guy wants me to make him 2 for his wife. Thanks alot enjoy the channel.
Showed my wife and she loved them. Thanks for the extra work you caused me! Just kidding. These look awesome and I'll be making them for the whole family!
Bought your plans even though I’m sure I could have just followed the video, but wanted to support you, and I do like to reference cut lists. Great job on designing this, compound miters are a little beyond me, but to follow the math you figured out I can do 👍.
don't do the compound miters on the top trim. After you get the side framework assembled, and before you attach the side boards to the inside, run the top and bottom thru your table saw with the blade tilted to 7 degrees, that way you can build the top trim piece with only 45 degree miters. Just make sure you cut the bevels the right way so that the long part of the bevel is to the outside of the box on the top and inside on the bottom. Cutting the bottoms also make it sit nice and flat on the surface.
This past Sunday I was at my local Home Depot and they had a ton of lumber on their discount 70% off rack. I spend close to an hour going through all of it and came away with 18 perfect cedar picket fence posts 5/8th x 5.5" x 6ft costing me $1.01 each. Jackpot.😁
If you're trying to sell these, wouldn't 1 hour of building be better than 1 hour to save $18?
I always raid the 70% pile. Made two planters and repaired my fence with wood from that pile.
Nice my local hd and lowes don't even carry cedar in stock. Have to order
@@anothersomebody8195 - just a hobby?
So......... I literally just came across your channel this morning, this is only my 2nd video that I've watched and om already in love with this channel!! I know its a divine appointment bc ive been asking the Lord to show me what to do with wood pieces that I have, bc I do have a goal that i need to reach. Your teaching method is simple and even my mind can grasp it 😂. You've gained a new supporter here! Many blessings to you!! Rae
You’ve got a good Bob Ross voice for teaching. It’s very chill to listen too. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤜🏼🤛🏽
Sir you are a genius!!! Our market show is in two weeks and I was gonna make planter boxes but for waaaaay more than this leaving me little room for profit. This is awesome Matthew. Thank you yet AGAIN brother 👍
Lol thanks Alex! People will love these at the market... stage one up really nice!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking maybe a tough topic but you know I love ya man. Those concealed bread board tables…can I actually get away with pocket holes or should I do loose tenons. I have to pull the trigger in three days honestly I’d rather do pocket holes but I completely get the counter argument. My thing is if I line them up right and they’re in a stable environment…how much wood movement? Thanks so much brother you’ve changed me and my wife’s lives. Not ready yet to share the whole story but when we are we will share it with you first. You’re the boss sir.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking and as for the planters a neighbor gave me a pallet of 7” x 8’ cedar. We will take pics at the market and send them to you. Will send staged pics of all your products.
@@alexreid4131 dude just watch trying to take pallets apart. Dunno if there different were u are but I've tried taking pallets apart over here in Scotland and they usually just break or split 🏴👍
@@michaelwillson6847 brother I’m from Scotland (Banff I’m Aberdeenshire). I now live in Washington State USA. I bought ten cedar pickets yesterday from Lowes (big box store here in the US kinda like Home Store in the UK). Gonna make the planter boxes outta that. Pallets are hit and miss here same as in Scotland mate.
Nice! I was dreading making boxes for my wife's planting. I"m a bit worried about the pressure treated stuff, but I think I can line it with some 6mm plastic. Or polyurethane the inside. Thank you!
Fantastic, a truly a gentleman and a scholar!
I like how you explained and showed exactly how it's done. Glad I came across your channel and after watching this second video, I subscribed.
You can do a 4 spoke trellis with two cross pieces using only 1 cedar fence picket. Total cost is less than 5 bucks per cedar trellis. I've got a batch of them along with a couple of pine monsters sitting at a local nursery/garden center. We'll see if it takes off locally. I priced myself a bit low just to get a feel for my local market...it's not a big city, people don't spend stupid money on simple things quite as readily...
If my trellises take off now that the weather is warming then I'll have to try these planter boxes.
Heck yea!
Wife just gave me the go-ahead to order a pocket hole jig so I can make these! I can see one cost cutting tip though, take a bit to glue panels together to cut down on the amount of screws needed. Great job and will be buying the plans for these as well!
lol you would be cutting cost by 8c a screw... don't cheap out on screws
@@89Johneboy There are 14 per side, if you glued the panels you can get it down to 4 screws saving you 40 screws per planter which at 8c a screw would knock down the price to produce by $3.20 for 5c worth of glue. Compound that over multiple planters and that can really add up quick.
@@Azurko you sir have a problem
@@89Johneboy Not really, the point of most businesses is to maximize profits.
I would recommend using stainless steel or brass screws, a bit more to buy admittedly but they will last forever and when the box rots away they can be reused. You will soon forget what they cost but will always look nice, it’s no use spoiling the ship for a halfpence of tar.
Ive built these for the exact same reason, great idea and it turned out beautiful
I built one of the planters for each of my grown kids. Their friend's liked them and asked me to make some for them. I really didn't want to so I said 75 if they finish 100 if I finish them . Now I have orders for 9 before spring.
I can use the money to help buy some tools I've wanted. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Paul
That’s an absolutely gorgeous planter. It only takes three pickets but on the down side I counted it takes 102 screws to assemble. That takes the price a little above a 2 x 4. But I have to say thanks again I love that planter
I don't prefer to use screws for outdoor items unless needed. The last planter I used pocket holes and screws for the frame but used glue and brads for everything else. Quick tip: I find brad nails and staples cheap cheap at resell shops and bargain bins. Not sure why but it seems people always have them but never use them. Well buddy, I will! Thanks for the great vids, always learn something from them!
I'd like to see a stable/brad nail version... I wonder what the screw cout would be after? Cause 102 screws is hefty haha
You could absolutely reduce the screws and be perfect fine.
I was looking for this comment...the idea is great and I totally want to try a version of this, but i was astonished at the amount of screws. Pocket hole screws are expensive and there are like 60 pocket holes on this 😧
Yeah- no way is that one that the big box store is selling held together with screws let alone that many.
Red Pine is about $3/picket, and have that rustic look with saw marks, etc, that is popular right now.
Brilliant Matthew, that's a proper "how to." Calm, informative, nicely shot. Top job.
Thank you!
That's amazing you were able to build that planter from three fence posts. Great job
I am on this like white on rice. Matt I needed inspiration for a few months now, and after doing the trellis and table, I am going to master this plan because I already have ideas to not make it better but to use my sign carving skills to add on. I have already thought about that with the table but this is it. Thank you for the positive energy and motivation especially with a limited income that’s hardly nothing. Clark…
Clark my man you are on spot! Taking an idea and putting your style into it! That is why you will succeed!
God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
Have a blessed day!

Thank you for this. I changed a few things but this is the first thing I ever sold as a woodworker.
So clever & thoughtful. Love your organization. Now all I need is a miter saw and the kreg system for screws. Thanks so much for sharing
its a beautiful planter!!!!!! ..........wish i could make it without all the pocket holes
You could probably cut back on the amount. I get kinda carried away sometimes.
Great build video! One thing I will add for those planning to make these, is the 1 1/4” deck screws for the side panels will be too long for the thickness of the material in my findings. After sanding, a 1” screw is best. You say it correctly in the video, but those going off the cut list and materials in the description could buy the wrong screws as 1 1/4" are listed
Yah…. Screws poked out all OVER the legs of my initial build. I went directly off of the PDF - 1.5” screws are too long. 😡
I was pretty annoyed.
I think setting the Kreg to 3/8” (vs. 1/2”) is better as well, so the (1”!!) screw head has more wood to grab & pull the joint together. I also glued the joints.
First one came out marginally ok.
I used 1 1/4 no issues. Did find I had to drill pilot hole in pockets to prevent splitting worst when using cedar
Love it. Been making some of these before to my relatives and they are popular. I use as few screws as possible and more of construction glue and nails to keep is low cost an effort. But the way you make these they are never going to break or bee a problem if sold, built like a tank. Like you vids mr, keep ‘‘em coming.
They look great! Love how tidy you've kept it with the pocket holes
That is an excellent idea! I tend to think its a bit over kill on the amount of hardware for a planter box. And in some cases, even brad nails could have sufficed. I would reduce your cost even more and could eliminate a lot of predrilling. Just a thought though for some of these smaller projects.
I can't tell you how many planters I've put back together with screws because the brads didn't hold up. This box will rot before the screws give way.
I built this with a lot of wood glue(exterior) and 2 and 1 inch brad nails exclusively(except screws in bottom). (i don't have a pocket hole jig) I think the top trim looks better from a distance with the brad nails.
I'm not saying to not add any screws... especially structurally. But it was pretty over kill and honestly was probably $6 in screws alone. Everything adds up... That was my point
I might try this with heavier hardwood. I know it would rot, but I can't worry about such. Pin nails should work fine, just toe them against each other.
God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!

Brilliant concepts! On a side note, you're correct in people not being able to see a products potential in their minds eye. This actually has a name. It's called aphantasia and it exists on a spectrum with some people like me not being able to picture anything at all.
I suffer from that, not being able to visualize how things are put together, it has made me feel stupid all my life.
They turned out lovely!...🤗, I know my mother would love a few of those.
glad to see you made a video for these. now i have a video to follow along with. and once again thanks for updating the plans the other day.
Love how this looks Mathew. Curious, how long is this taking you to build from start to finish? Thank you for your videos and your inspiration 🙏
Once I had it all worked out it took around 45 min.
In my location fence pickets are $6.98 and 2x4 untreated $8.48, treated 2x4 $10.54
Ready for this one? In my area, a 3/4" 4x8 sheet of plywood is $103. 🤬
Wooooow. Thats way high.
2"x4"x 8' rough cut red cedar for $14 each, here... crazy
Man, I just turned 45 and am starting to look for things to do that might make a few bucks on the side, and get me going for a work from home business so I can maybe retire a little early. I stumbled on this channel and you're starting to get my wheels turning!
I started wood working during the lockdown now I’m going to start doing some of your projects and see were it takes me thank you for the videos
No Worries and good luck Frank!
I was wondering the whole video how you'll be addressing drainage or if you'd line the bottom with a plastic bag to prevent rot. Didn't even cross my mind some will use fake plants.
I'm trying to get started as a hobby and these look great. I need to collect more tools though like a tablesaw, that pocket hole jig and a router.
I build planter boxes for passive income and I use regular picket fence boards and I do not line the boxes at all and there is no issue with the wood rotting. I have had 8 (4ft wide x 6ft long x 12in deep) in my yard for the past 5 years and they are no where near rotting. Mind you that I use mine for growing food and still no issue.
I bet the $100 planter at the home improvement stores are put together with glue and staples.
I bet you are correct. So you will have to buy them again next year.
I just started and this is my first project. I don't have fancy equipment, just a miter saw and a hand saw. So I had to rip the boards by hand and then sand the edges. Its not perfect but I am happy with myself the way they turned out. Thank you for the inspiration. I am going to list on Facebook and see if they sell, would be nice to have this as a side hustle.
you are blessed with carpentry skills God is good your planters are very nice God bless.
Holy screws batman! Thanks Matt, this is an awesome project, I bought the plans to do this. Question.... why pocket screws for the wall boards? Screws are expensive. It seems you used 6 bucks in wood but 10 bucks in screws on this. Would brad nails not work. thanks! Love the Channel. Keep up the great work!
Was my exact thought when he started putting the wall boards in. I can understand for the frame, however using a little titebond III and some brad nails on the wall boards would save you all those screws AND a ton to time and if this is a production thing both of those two things are extremely important in profitability.
I don't know his personal reason but for wood projects that will have water I use screws for expansion and shrinking of the pieces. I've done constructing and remodels for 15 years with lots of old houses, things that are nailed loosen up much faster and easier than using screws. My experience and opinion
IMHO, that much dirt will be heavy as shit, especially after watering. It needs the support if you’re going to actually use it as a planter.
Neither Brad nails or glue (even titebond 3) hold up to the weather very well. Especially if you'll be moving these around w weight in them (into shed for winter?) or anything like that. If I was making them for my house I may still use nails just for simplicity and speed, but that's bc I could easily repair them if smthn happened. But if you're giving them a gifts preventing falling apart in a couple seasons is prolly worth the extra 5 bucks.
Also, the screws are much better w permitting wood movement in changing humidity of outdoors AND the wall board being screwed to all 4 perimeter boards also strengthens the panel.
In fact, if you wanted to save screws you'd probably be better off only using 1 pocket screw on each side of top and bottom rail, then 5 regular 1in deck screws (2 top 2 bottom 1 side) in the wall boards to secure everything tgthr... at least that's what I did.
... if you really want to go cheapest possible, you can even use drywall screws in the wall boards (since there won't be much shear force against them).
And even though pocket hole tutorial on UA-cam warns against regular screws in pocket holes, IF you gear down your drill and are VERY careful not to over drive and split wood, you can get away w deck screws there too.
Therefore, CHEAPEST YET MODERATELY EFFECTIVE SCREW OPTION = 28 x 1 inch drywall screws (20 for wall boards and 8 for top trim) and 32 x 1 1/4 deck screws (4 x4 for each panel assembly, plus 16 for attachment of B to A [4 down each side])
*if purchasing in 500 screw containers, that likely works out to 2 or 3 dollars total. Not bad.
... to bad in my area the wood is almost $30 : /
@@theoriginalmonstermaker yeah I think you're spot on with it. I'm going to try one without screws, I'm a big gardener when I'm not having an apathetic phase in life, and wanna see for myself what will happen with titebknd 3 and letting some wet dirt freeze in it. Should make a video because in any case it'll end up being informative. Even if the result is a given, it never hurts to see it with your own eyes
You spent more on screws for the build than you did the cedar pickets… Glue and brads dude, glue and brads..
Exactly what I was thinking lol. In my head I’m like.. Ima need to get a ton of deck screws lol 😅
The legs and the bottom I would screw just so it hold the weight of the plant. But all of the rest I would have brad nailed
@@korey4944 I have a few of these around the house that I’ve made with glue and brads and they have been holding up excellent! As long as you use something like titebond 3 that’s water proof, they will last many years, even without screws. No harm in screws, they’re just not necessary. And if your building some to sell, just glue and brads are the way to go for time and materials sake.
I haven't done any wood working since high school but I'm going to try to make one of these. Love the videos Mathew!!
Awesome job 👍. My girlfriend saw me watching this and now I have to build her some.
You should include the cost of the screws in your cost, you have at least 6 more dollars in screws.
Really. Where are you buying screws.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking you did use like 80 screws per planter. That adds up. I think I’ll use stainless brad nails.
This is about $3 bucks worth of screws per planter.
@@WalterMelons brads ain't gonna make as strong and sturdy of a box.
@@sh0cktim3 brads and glue will be just fine.
Dude... you are awesome! Truly thinking outside the box! You nailed it... most people can't envision things so you have to show them. Sometimes I'm one of those people... lol. But I have my projects that I can see the end results, so I like to think there is hope for me yet. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for spreading the knowledge! 🤠
You are a very clever man and a superb teacher! Love your tutorials!
Excellent video!! I love the idea of putting “kits” together, to facilitate a bit of mass production…
