So this amazing like everything else you post I love learning from you,the only thing I’m missing from this one is that you usually say how many pickets and suggest what you would sell it for and that always gives me a starting point.but like always great idea and that you for the knowledge.looking forward for many more.ps.built the chicnik table for my daughter and it was a hit with her friends and neighbors.
Just visited your Etsy shop and got some plans. I'm excited to get building, but I wanted to say thanks for the inspiration, motivation and the extremely nice price and layout of your plans. God bless you Mr. Peach!!!
Matt, I worked at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, SC for 12 years. It's pronounced "oblisk". It is 2 syllables "ah" and "blisk". Hope that helps. By the way, I am a 66 year old recent cancer survivor and in the middle of starting a new business.......woodworking!!! Because of YOU. Thanks so much
I grew up in Charleston, you cannot use how people say stuff there as example, us Charlestonians butcher words all day long. Otherwise we'd all be speaking Gullah.
It is 3 syllables: ˈä-bə-ˌlisk (hard to see there, but the accent is on the first syllable). Easy enough to find on Merriam-Webster, there's even a "listen" button.
I like this one, So I had a couple of thoughts, First, hinges, use hinges to hold the panels together, set the hinges is such a way that the panels accordion fold, second thought, fasteners something simple like eye hook and latches. To make it easier to set up and take down. Thanks for all your great ideas. You're an inspiration to many of us. Peace
I have to say no matter how it's pronounced it is always entertaining listening to you saying it! 😂 Don't change anything! Makes it feel like we are there talking to you about it and hanging out with you!
You could leave it outside during the holidays and hang Christmas lights on it. Maybe top it with a star. Cool obelisk. Thanks Matthew! I'll try to build one half this size.
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought WOW nice pyramidal. What is the pyramid shape? A pyramid is a three dimensional geometric shape (3D shape) made up of flat faces: a base and triangular faces which meet at a point called the apex. Three main features of pyramids are, faces, vertices and edges: Face - a closed, flat surface. But it's also a pyramidal obelisk. Just another name for the same thing. Just a thought enjoying your channels. Wolfmama
@MatthewPeechWoodworking, good morning. This is an awesome garden trellis. I will be making this one, but first, I have to finish the 3 planters 2 benches project. I am very slow and uncommitted... no I have a very busy life (including a lot of family time) so I work in small periods of time, but I enjoy taking my time. For me woodworking used to be "me time", but now is relax time with my wonderful wife as she got hooked on it now.. Thanks for all the great content.
Hi Mr Peech of all the YT woodworkers I watch you by far are the best for the average woodworker at breaking shit down and showing stuff at a entry level approach. I thank you for that sincerely. You have helped me supplement my SS checks even tho I'm a beginner your content is so approachable so thank you. And BTW it's ob·e·lisk according to the dictionary.
If you're going to be making a lot of these at one go, I'd suggest using double sided tape and scrap wood to align the three boards to start. That'll help keep things aligned as you work, and make setting them up go more quickly.
Gdmorning Matt, Another One ( in my DJ Khaled Voice) awesome build, can't wait to make this one. You have been a God Send to my Business - you got something special coming soon😀 Still thinking!!!
Nice work, Matthew ! I have already made an obelisk of another design that you demonstrated, but I have a feeling that this one will soon be developing in my workshop ! 👍🌲👍
Been looking to build something like this for this summer and there you were! This is the best I’ve seen yet and my garden will now be full of them 😅 cheers Matthew 👍 from the UK
I built one of the original obelisk design last year....but added a wire coconut husk hanging basket to the top.......is very pretty and has a lot of presence....
My plan is to build this today. I have built the 3 picket planter and the squirrel picnic table feeder so far. I didn't include any variations...on purpose, anyway lol. I learned something about myself with the two builds. Like a great many others, I don't typically build with detailed plans. So, with the two builds mentioned above, I built by watching the videos and taking fairly detailed notes. The projects turned out pretty close to what they should look like but it was after assembly on the picnic table that I realized I hadn't sanded the saw marks out of the edges. That's not a step I would have forgotten with my own builds and I'm not exactly sure why it happened in this case. It feels pretty foolish to think it was because, "well, it wasn't in the tutorial" but that's what it feels like. I guess this is just a head's up to any other knuckleheads like me out there to keep in mind that basic woodworking steps are still required when building from plans. It's like following a recipe and not removing eggs from the shell; "well, the recipe just said to add two eggs" lol. It's nothing new, really, I could probably do a long video serious based only on my "duh" moments in woodworking.
Great project~! I'll be making a couple for the yard. Maybe the neighbors will see and want some for theirs too. Just have to figure a price point...the thing I have the hardest time with. Thanks~!
Hey Matt it appeared that you were measuring at 10 5/16 instead of 11 5/16. I've yet to try this one but plan on starting tomorrow. Not knit picking just clarifying. Also, is there a cut list I'm missing? Lastly, great video(s) man, you are truly inspiring. I'll be joining Patreon ASAP! EDIT: Finally Lastly: The bottom brace boards are cut at a 10 degree angle on each end. .not 40 degree. I actually built mine today. You still rule Matt!
@@brucewelty7684 That's nice 😂 yeah I was thinking that there had to be someone that noticed that before me but I didn't read through the comments to check lol. I could be wrong but was that first measurement a little off too? Lol
Matt... Thank you for all the hard work you do to help inspire us with your ideas and videos! As a beginner wood worker what "budget friendly" 10-inch table and miter saw BLADES would you recommend? Please keep up the great work and not being a product review sellout! God bless you my brother!
Hey Matthew. Love all our videos. One question. How do you store your cedar pickets? I lay them on the concrete floor, raised, with cinder blocks holding them down. They keep bowing and cupping after I remove the cinder blocks. My shop is climate controled as well as the humidity. The humidity usually stays at about 40%. Thanks brother. I appreciate your time.
Have you seen the sand boxes where the benches on the sides hinge down to form a cover, like Badger Basket sells? Seems like those might be profitable, if done right.
Matthew, have any of your videos covered your process for cleaning up fence pickets so they're nice to use? The ones I find at my local home store all have very rough surfaces. Sanding everything smooth would be a chore, though not impossible. Thank you
Doubt you'll see this by now, Matt. But, you're pronouncing obelisk correctly. The other way is more of a dialect local to wherever those people live. I took advanced English classes back in the day. Love the design! Thanks for sharing!
Help me out on how you knew how far to measure in on the boards to come up with a 10 degree angle? I may have missed something with the use of the speed square to come up with the angle initially? Thanks for the constructive videos
Should the “2 1/2” pickets be ripped to that true size or just rip down the middle and leave it alone? My pickets are 5 3/4”. Thanks for the videos and build ideas! I bought some planter plans. Just following the video for this build though.
Your "before" pronunciation is/was correct. Whoever was correcting you was wrong 😊 The obelisk is really beautiful. I am definitely going to try this one.
That is a beautiful trellis!! 😂 you were correct saying OBbuhlisk…. We can hang a bell in it so we can call it an oBELLisk 😉 at least that’s what I wanna do now, lmao
Hi Matt! Could you please help me. I was asked to make a large trivet, 20 x 18 to be used under an instant pot. I already have two 1x12 boards from another project. They are joined together with glue and biscuits. Do you think the weight(15-20 lbs) and the heat from the instant pot would warp the boards? I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!!
Hey Matthew. Love the videos. Own many of the plans. I don't want to sound like that guy but at 2:22. You said measure 11 5/16". But on the tape you pulled 10 5/16". I know some people build it from these videos. Just wondering which it was. Keep up the great work! Though it could have been the camera angle. I just went back and saw you did the same on the first measurement. And it was about an inch off. So, very well could have been perspective :D
I learnt that if you don’t remember the name of something call it all the names under the sun, one’s bound to be right, and if you can’t remember a woman’s name call her darling she’ll love you forever😊😉 Thanx for the build, greetings from 🇩🇪
Mathew, in the video it sounds like you say cut the ends of those bottom supports at 40 degrees? At about the 3:35 degree marker, but that's no where near a 49 degree that you cut. Could you tell me what it is? Looks like maybe a 10?
This may have been addressed already but in Matthew's video description he states that the bottom boards are cut at a 40 degree angle. Unless I am doing something completely wrong, I found the best fit angle to be 9 degrees (please don't take this as absolute. Do a test cut to make sure). I don't think I'm totally wrong because it's easy to see the angles shown in the video are much shallower than 40 degrees. Again, though, I may be wrong altogether so you'll want to make sure for yourself but I would recommend not mitering the bottom boards until you get to assembly. If anyone knows better, please let me know. I imagine there's a way to take down my comment.
Not trying to be a pretentious grammar nazi, but the emphasis is on the first syllable (AH-be-lisk). That being said, great build! I'm already thinking about how to build a couple of these for our backyard out here in Colorado!
Thank you. I used to refer to the parts by A, B etc in the videos and didn’t say the lengths. I stopped putting the cut list in the description a while ago due to requests to just say it aloud rather than referring to them as the part letter.
Hey Matt… I’m in the process of building this right now and I think maybe there may be a mistake for either the measurements of the support boards or wedge support boards go to which frame boards. I say this because when I got to the assembly part I started with assembling the 2 inch frames and I used the 18 13/16 support board like you said, and that framed up beautifully and then when I started to frame up the 2 1/2 inch frame things were not lining up and I thought maybe I cut some thing at a wrong angle or maybe I sanded my edges on my angle on my frame pieces badly (which come to think of it. I don’t know why the hell I sanded the edges right there that doesn’t make sense lol) or some thing, but I checked everything and everything was correct so what I did was it I cut the 19 13/16 piece down to 18 13/16 thinking that maybe you miss spoke and matched the two wrong and so I tried fitting that up and it still did not fit up correctly so then, since in my mind, the most logical thing would be Firm the longer support board to go with the wider frame. It would make more sense for the support board for the 2 1/2 inch frame to be 1 inch longer than the support board for the 2 inch frame. However, since in this scenario that would not be possible and I had already glued everything up and I had to go to an appointment and then come back so it was already set there was no taking it apart the only option I had was to do 1 inch less and when I did that which made the support board measurement come out to 17 13/16 that did fit up well. However, when I say well, I don’t mean excellent both a 2 inch and a 2 1/2 inch frames when I was lining them up with the end of my square surface were slightly off angle, and I am assuming that this is because of not being matched with the correct length of support board. I hope this is all making sense, and I hope that you can provide me with some clarification. I know it’s been a while since you posted this video so I don’t even know if you’ll see this if anyone knows how to get Matt to see this I’d greatly appreciate it if you could help a girl out.😊 I am just starting to make the fourth frame so I don’t know if they’re all gonna fit together yet or not I am praying that they do because if not, I just wasted a shit ton of time and will have to go buy more materials but I guess in the end I will end up with two of these things rather than just one which that’s fine with me just wasn’t in the plans, but hey, that’s life lol
I think I might be having some of the same problems. My main issue is after putting the brace in at the bottom of the frame the meters at the peak of the frame never quite match nicely with the center slat support. I'm almost done building my second one of these and the same problems have happened both times. I think I'll have to do some testing on the next one.
@@kolestuck5434 ya something is defined not right. Mine did end up coming all together it’s a rectangle instead of a square but honestly you can hardly tell. But ya I think Matt definitely accidentally mis-stated something in the video because things don’t line up. I wish I could afford to purchase the plans I’d be curious to see if they line up with the video
@@timcurtin36ya I cut them at 10 degrees not 40. it doesn’t work out. For the bottom boards I ended up using a measurement of 17 13/16” for the 2 1/2” side and 18 13/16 for the 2” side

How many fence pickets does this take?
Matt, I worked at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, SC for 12 years. It's pronounced "oblisk". It is 2 syllables "ah" and "blisk". Hope that helps. By the way, I am a 66 year old recent cancer survivor and in the middle of starting a new business.......woodworking!!! Because of YOU. Thanks so much
Thank you for clarifiing :) That is great to hear and keep up the good work!
I grew up in Charleston, you cannot use how people say stuff there as example, us Charlestonians butcher words all day long. Otherwise we'd all be speaking Gullah.
Right! It's three syllables, aa-buh-luhsk
It is 3 syllables: ˈä-bə-ˌlisk (hard to see there, but the accent is on the first syllable). Easy enough to find on Merriam-Webster, there's even a "listen" button.
No it’s /ŏb′ə-lĭsk/
What does that even mean?
I like this one, So I had a couple of thoughts, First, hinges, use hinges to hold the panels together, set the hinges is such a way that the panels accordion fold, second thought, fasteners something simple like eye hook and latches. To make it easier to set up and take down. Thanks for all your great ideas. You're an inspiration to many of us. Peace
I was thinking the same thing when I was watching too.
I have to say no matter how it's pronounced it is always entertaining listening to you saying it! 😂 Don't change anything! Makes it feel like we are there talking to you about it and hanging out with you!
Great idea! Was having a quiet Sunday, but now im heading to my work shop to get building 😂
Nice!! Enjoy the build!
Just say “pointy garden thing.” 😊. Love your videos, Matt!
My Girlfriends kid has ADHD really bad and wants to work. So we're buying plans from your Etsy shop tonight. And Hoping for the Best. Thanks Matthew!
You could leave it outside during the holidays and hang Christmas lights on it. Maybe top it with a star.
Cool obelisk. Thanks Matthew!
I'll try to build one half this size.
I like it. Enjoy!
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought WOW nice pyramidal.
What is the pyramid shape? A pyramid is a three dimensional geometric shape (3D shape) made up of flat faces: a base and triangular faces which meet at a point called the apex. Three main features of pyramids are, faces, vertices and edges: Face - a closed, flat surface.
But it's also a pyramidal obelisk.

Thank you so much. I'm shocked and honored. I never imagined that!
Great stuff Matt! Always love watching your videos!

I made one of these today. Made a couple changes. But I think it turned out pretty good.
Another GREAT build Matthew. With all the ideas and projects I have on the go right now.....I'm not sure I can have any ready for spring.
Always great builds and a great teaching.

Love the build Matthew,but would it be prudent to put an exterior stain on it before using the screws to close everything into place?

How does the treated lumber do over time? Doesn't it warp a lot when it dries out?
Very nice!
My question is how does it stand up to windy days? Seems it wouldn’t be too heavy and I live in a windy area.
could you have used hinges on 2 sides to fold for storage?
Came here to say this!
Great Idea!
this is real nice.

Your "before" pronunciation is/was correct. Whoever was correcting you was wrong 😊
The obelisk is really beautiful. I am definitely going to try this one.
Thank you! Enjoy the build!
the pickets I get are rough sawn. Do you plane/sand those first?
Depending on how rough they are I may have to sand them a bit.
Genius.

Congrats on 500k Matt. Well earned…no matter how you pronounce obelisk!
Thanks so much!
That is a beautiful trellis!! 😂 you were correct saying OBbuhlisk…. We can hang a bell in it so we can call it an oBELLisk 😉 at least that’s what I wanna do now, lmao
Lol I don't know if I'll ever get it right🤪
Beautiful! Are these made with cedar fence pickets or pressure treated fence pickets?
Hi Matt! Could you please help me. I was asked to make a large trivet, 20 x 18 to be used under an instant pot. I already have two 1x12 boards from another project. They are joined together with glue and biscuits. Do you think the weight(15-20 lbs) and the heat from the instant pot would warp the boards? I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!!
Hey Matthew. Love the videos. Own many of the plans. I don't want to sound like that guy but at 2:22. You said measure 11 5/16". But on the tape you pulled 10 5/16". I know some people build it from these videos. Just wondering which it was. Keep up the great work! Though it could have been the camera angle. I just went back and saw you did the same on the first measurement. And it was about an inch off. So, very well could have been perspective :D
Hey! No worries! It’s 11 5/16”.
I learnt that if you don’t remember the name of something call it all the names under the sun, one’s bound to be right, and if you can’t remember a woman’s name call her darling she’ll love you forever😊😉
Thanx for the build, greetings from 🇩🇪
Nicely done Matt, it looks great
Thanks a bunch!
Question, can you recommend a good, accurate framing square that you use that won't break the bank?
Mathew, in the video it sounds like you say cut the ends of those bottom supports at 40 degrees? At about the 3:35 degree marker, but that's no where near a 49 degree that you cut. Could you tell me what it is? Looks like maybe a 10?
Hello!! I was hoping for some clarification. You made each side from one 6ft DE PICKETT?
What size pickets are you using?
What kind of wood are the fence pickets you are using? Cedar? Pine?
This may have been addressed already but in Matthew's video description he states that the bottom boards are cut at a 40 degree angle. Unless I am doing something completely wrong, I found the best fit angle to be 9 degrees (please don't take this as absolute. Do a test cut to make sure). I don't think I'm totally wrong because it's easy to see the angles shown in the video are much shallower than 40 degrees. Again, though, I may be wrong altogether so you'll want to make sure for yourself but I would recommend not mitering the bottom boards until you get to assembly. If anyone knows better, please let me know. I imagine there's a way to take down my comment.
i tried a second time to download the plans from etsy , did not get them, please see if you can help,
No there's no longer a cut lists available, buy his Plans!! Support Him!!!!
Thank you. I do verbally state the dimensions in each video though for the ones who can't or don't want to purchase the plans.
In all you videos I see a Pneumatic Nail gun. Have you considered a Cordless/Battery nail gun and what brand would you use? 18 gage?
Not trying to be a pretentious grammar nazi, but the emphasis is on the first syllable (AH-be-lisk). That being said, great build! I'm already thinking about how to build a couple of these for our backyard out here in Colorado!
Love it! (As always)
Did I miss the cutlist in description?
Thank you. I used to refer to the parts by A, B etc in the videos and didn’t say the lengths. I stopped putting the cut list in the description a while ago due to requests to just say it aloud rather than referring to them as the part letter.
@MatthewPeechWoodworking perfect! Clearly I've been sleeping on the new ones too much. LOVE the videos and the positivity. Thanks for all you do!
matthew , i just paid for the new garden obelisk , cannot recieve it from etsy, will not download please look into this for me.
I don’t have a brad nailer what would you recommend I use if I cant afford to go buy one
A hammer and nails
Doesn't matter how you say it bro. We know what you mean. Either way it's an Awesome project 🤘🏼
I l❤ve this!!!
It would be awesome to incorporate a titanium easy flux 125 welder into the mix for some projects
Hey Matt… I’m in the process of building this right now and I think maybe there may be a mistake for either the measurements of the support boards or wedge support boards go to which frame boards. I say this because when I got to the assembly part I started with assembling the 2 inch frames and I used the 18 13/16 support board like you said, and that framed up beautifully and then when I started to frame up the 2 1/2 inch frame things were not lining up and I thought maybe I cut some thing at a wrong angle or maybe I sanded my edges on my angle on my frame pieces badly (which come to think of it. I don’t know why the hell I sanded the edges right there that doesn’t make sense lol) or some thing, but I checked everything and everything was correct so what I did was it I cut the 19 13/16 piece down to 18 13/16 thinking that maybe you miss spoke and matched the two wrong and so I tried fitting that up and it still did not fit up correctly so then, since in my mind, the most logical thing would be Firm the longer support board to go with the wider frame. It would make more sense for the support board for the 2 1/2 inch frame to be 1 inch longer than the support board for the 2 inch frame. However, since in this scenario that would not be possible and I had already glued everything up and I had to go to an appointment and then come back so it was already set there was no taking it apart the only option I had was to do 1 inch less and when I did that which made the support board measurement come out to 17 13/16 that did fit up well. However, when I say well, I don’t mean excellent both a 2 inch and a 2 1/2 inch frames when I was lining them up with the end of my square surface were slightly off angle, and I am assuming that this is because of not being matched with the correct length of support board. I hope this is all making sense, and I hope that you can provide me with some clarification. I know it’s been a while since you posted this video so I don’t even know if you’ll see this if anyone knows how to get Matt to see this I’d greatly appreciate it if you could help a girl out.😊 I am just starting to make the fourth frame so I don’t know if they’re all gonna fit together yet or not I am praying that they do because if not, I just wasted a shit ton of time and will have to go buy more materials but I guess in the end I will end up with two of these things rather than just one which that’s fine with me just wasn’t in the plans, but hey, that’s life lol
I think I might be having some of the same problems. My main issue is after putting the brace in at the bottom of the frame the meters at the peak of the frame never quite match nicely with the center slat support. I'm almost done building my second one of these and the same problems have happened both times. I think I'll have to do some testing on the next one.
@@kolestuck5434 ya something is defined not right. Mine did end up coming all together it’s a rectangle instead of a square but honestly you can hardly tell. But ya I think Matt definitely accidentally mis-stated something in the video because things don’t line up. I wish I could afford to purchase the plans I’d be curious to see if they line up with the video
@@nikkibiondo7399 I purchased the plans and they seem to match the video pretty well. I might just be having problems with accuracy idk
It looks like the angle on the cross pieces should be 10 deg, not 40.
@@timcurtin36ya I cut them at 10 degrees not 40. it doesn’t work out. For the bottom boards I ended up using a measurement of 17 13/16” for the 2 1/2” side and 18 13/16 for the 2” side
Matthew, I think you misspoke, the ends of the four bottom support boards need to be cut at a 10° angle, not 40°?
I did!!! Thank you for pointing this out!
How many fence pickets does this plan call for?
How much would this sell for?
