The $6 Planter (Version 2) - Low Cost High Profit - Make Money Woodworking
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The new Farmhouse 3 picket planter! Yes, the wood used in this beautiful planter box was 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 a second planter to help solve our problem. I call it my farmhouse 3 picket planter. It can literally be made from 3 fence pickets! The current price of a treated pine fence picket in my area is $1.98. 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.

Man, you changed my life with this. I’ve wanted to get into wood working since I was a little kid, I’m 22 now and decided to go all in on this with $28 in my bank account because times are so rough. All I had was a jigsaw and sand paper but they turned out pretty good, posted them on Facebook, got an order for 2, sold them for $90, bought a table saw, and now here I am booked halfway thru July all because of YOU! THANK YOU
wow, way to go! best of luck and success to you.
Congratulations!
Love this
Great job!! Congratulations!
Good for you
I just turned 96 lost my job at the local liquor store , I found a vintage jigsaw at my local Salvation Army , I can’t wait to get to build wood projects thank to you sir .
So, how's it going?
I'm almost 50, and while handy, have never built anything with wood in my life. For whatever reason this video popped on my feed and I was hooked. Went out and bought some beginning level saws and made this planter. Showed my fiancée and she flipped out. Posted on facebook that we were taking orders and in 4 hours I have 10 ordered!!! One guy wanted something taller, so showed him a picture of your tall planter and he wanted 2 of those!! Your channel is amazing, keep it up!!
This is a great wood project book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.
I did not believe 3 pickets were enough. I was going to buy the plans but then I just decided to use the video. I cut down 6 pickets into exactly enough for 2 boxes and built a box in one afternoon. I now have jigs, and enough material to build another box. I think I'm going to buy the plans because I don't have a way to tip for this amazing video!
Matthew, such a huge fan since I discovered you. I am in the process of moving right now but will be settled in by early March and getting after it. Thanks for everything!
This channel has been a godsend!
Yeah, selling on marketplace is great, but my wife teaches horseback riding lessons, so parents come and bring their kids, then have nowhere to go... Except to browse my inventory of good quality and great deals 😂
That is awesome! That is a great setup! Maybe 10% off for "members".
Captive audience are the best. And of they can afford horseback riding lessons, then they have disposable income. That's awesome.
Nothing like a captive audience 👍
I've always told my wife, show me a picture and I'll build it. Coming up with these builds and limiting it to three fence pickets is pure genius. I'd get a migraine trying to get such a cost saving cut list. Thank you so much for getting me back into my shop without breaking the bank!
Exactly !!! My father was a carpenter, so I grew up with that type of back ground BUT, I have No imagination,
I have to have my wife take a picture or tear something out of a magazine etc. Duallity I'm with ya .
Brilliant!!! I made a few of those other ones and people love them. You’re a genius brother. You’re helping our family out in a huge way.
Thanks Alex! That's how this community rolls... we help each other out in any way that we can.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking love seeing your subs go up mate!!!
Quick question I'm gonna try to tackle these for the wife as a late mother's day gift. My fence pickets seem to have a lot of moisture in them. Do I need to let them dry out before I get started?
@@matthewpyzdrowski3005 I had the same issue and personally yes I dried them but I don’t think it’s necessary. With soil and watering they’ll get wet anyway right? 🤷♂️
@MatthewPeechWoodworking matt could you help me figure out how to cut the pickets, for me this is a 4 picket planter lol
Planters similar to this are selling on Marketplace for $30-35 in my area. Not sure I want to compete with that. Will see if there are other platforms that may offer higher selling prices. Really love the simplicity and inexpensive materials on this project, Matthew.
I've been looking at your products for quite a few months now. I decided to take one on. This took me a little longer to build than I thought but it came out looking good. Just as a suggestion to see if it would work, how about putting a 2-in piece in the middle of the A sides? That way it would close together with the B sides. I look forward to building a lot more of your projects. I also suggest if you're a rookie, buy an extra picket if you're just going to build one. I had to use half of the extra one for this first time.
Thanks again for inspiring an 83-year-old to get back to work.
How many 1 3/4, 1 3/8 and 1” rip cuts do you make from each picket? Thanks
This is now my favorite woodworking channel on UA-cam.. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, thanks!
yep... definitely one of my favourite builders. I feel like Matthew is talking directly to me... personally helping me to grow my woodworking business.
you make me want to open my mind even more than I ever have. I thank you for everything you do. I miss the military and I had a hole in my life but now I can fill that and enjoy do things for others. Thank You.
I love these little boxes, and I really love the trellis idea in conjunction with the box as an add-on. I think that iteration will be a big hit near me, so I am going to build a few and see how I do. I am a rank amateur with only about one year's experience in woodworking, but this is well within my capabilities. My dad was a master woodworker years ago, but I didn't have much interest in working with him when I was young, so now I'm starting almost from scratch. He's still alive and lives with my wife and I, but at 95 years old, even though he is as healthy as a teenager, he doesn't trust his balance and slow reflexes enough to work with power tools anymore, which means he doesn't ever come down to the garage to see what's going on. The long hill is too much for him. So, I am learning with your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills!!
I love your videos. I made this planter last spring and gave one as a gift, sold 4 of them, and got a commission to build a double planter which I sold for $75. I stocked up on cedar pickets and I'll be getting more of these built soon for this spring. Thanks for the great content!
Trust me they sell. I’ve been building & selling the exact same planter box, only at 2’ square, for years now and not coming in lower than $400. I even add a hinged lid on some so that the homeowner has a box to match their planters for lawn equipment or whatever
$400 a day? A week? What are you selling the planter for? Just curious what people are making on this. Thanks
Your form on that thumb tuck was nothing short Olympic choreography. Absolute perfection I give it a 10 10 10!
This video is old, but im lovin it. Ive been watching you for a long time, and today, on another of your videos, you spoke right to me...time for me to go for it. Thank you for giving a shit about other people. It gives me hope. Thank you!
The comments covered my feelings but thank you to you and your family for helping ours
Okay, I bought the cedar months ago thinking this should be easy. Well, I sold my table saw when I moved back to Nevada so all I had was a scroll saw that won't stay working, a circ saw, a jigsaw and several hand saws. I finally got sick of waiting, bought a broken dilapidated table saw and rebuilt it, not my first rodeo. Its 118 degrees out so I quickly cut all my pieces and assembled it on my kitchen island. This is so fabulous! Thank you so much!! I've been fighting my way back from a knee blowout while installing flooring so this was my first physical success in 6 months!
Made some modern cedar planters for a co-worker and when I took one to a local nursery they wanted to buy a batch to sell right away. I was pretty shocked at how much people go for these. Your videos have been a huge help for me starting out. Keep up the good work!
That is awesome!
Just out of curiosity, could you please tell me what you are selling these for.
I'm not a woodworker, but I would like to try and build these for my own front porch. My kids are grown and gone, but I tell them, always listen to your mama. Your mother is a smart lady and I'm glad you listened to her. These are beautiful! New subscriber here!
Made a couple of these this morning and sent a few pics to friends and family. Got 7 paid orders just after lunch 👍.
Nice easy project that sells itself.
Thanks for posting the vid
what did you land on for the price point?
Now matter how I cut it, I can't seem to get it all out of 3 pickets, any advice?
@@SkilletintheWoods same here, I also can’t seem to have enough of the faces overlap the legs for the screws.
@@ZachDominguez99 there's not much room on the sides of the walls where they connect to the legs. I just put 1" brad nails down each side. I'm still stumped on the "3 picket" part. They appear to be 6ft and priced similar to the 6ft at my local Lowes. I thought maybe he was using 8ft, but they don't look that long.
I found out the pickets at Lowes are about 1/16 to 1/8 inch narrower. I went to home depot and they seem to be better quality and slightly wider. I'm hoping to nail down the correct order of cutting to get them out of 3 pickets. I'll let you know if I pull it off.
My Husband and I made these plant boxes. Love them. 12:25 12:28 12:29
Bought your plans took about two hours for the first one now I can make two in a hour and a half I made templates of every piece and made a jig from few pieces of scrap for assembling the walls makes the whole process such faster thanks brother for a good clean simple cost effective build selling like hot cakes
Wow, im a visual artist (Contemporary art) but love wood working. This is by far, the most easy to follow along, well explained, sharing knowledge, helping other people channel I have ever come across. Can't wait to build this for the lady of the house. Thank you for sharing with us rookies!!!!
Wow, thank you!
9:04 so true! I’m new to the hobby and couldn’t figure out why my pocket screws were poking out when following the other box build plans. Thought I was using the Kreg jig wrong. Turns out the fences were a tad thinner than advertised. Lesson learned, I made the adjustments and my mom loves her planter box. Keep up the good work Matt!
I had the same issue, all the pieces were splitting. I ended up getting 1" kreg screws instead of 1.25"
I had similar issue! Was infuriating as I had drilled all pocket holes in all parts! Ended up cutting new parts and putting a 1/16" shim at base of my jig.
Very cool. On my work bench right now is the $6.00 planter you did about two weeks ago. This is next. My wife loves them. Thank you.
That’s awesome! Bet she will love this one as well.
Matthew, Thank you for everything you're showing. I've looked at a ton of different website/videos of others like everybody else, but never have come across someone thats not scare to show the secret formula and does a GREAT job of teaching it to us. Please don't stop.
" The quality of your product is your name." Truth!!
picked up a dozen fence pickets at a big box store. planning on making these tomorrow.
It’s so kind of you to help others to better themselves! Thanks for the nice plans!
No worries! Just doing my part.
I'm so glad I found you!! I've looked at your shop and I've gotten so many ideas from you! As well as just great things I'd like to build for myself! Thank you!!
Did a set for my daughter and appreciate the step by step assistance.
Just finished up my first one. Building the first one took a decent amount of time. With one completed, I love the outcome, I’ll be able to streamline. Thanks for everything you do.
How many 1 3/4, 1 3/8 and 1” rip cuts do you make from each picket? Thanks
My name is Dan. I just built a cedar box. It is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day and sharing this with us. Love the channel. Keep up the awesome work!
So, I am watching backwards a little. After several of your others, I jumped in on your multi level planter and bit the bullet for a Kreg. I have resisted for years, but it was too cool to not try. I even did the math on those "expensive" screws vs modification to brackets. Obvious choice these days was the Kreg. I also admit I did not buy your plans because you are quite easy to follow. I made only one mistake but it fixed no issues. I used all cedar (I own the mill) and it is FANTASTIC.
Now I find these planters just as lovely and no Kreg... 😅😅
I have no idea why I resisted all these years except pride. Money well spent.
Thanks for all you are doing, you inspired me to go past just selling the lumber, and at the very least, I have stuff that encourages sales of materials. Gonna catch that cat one way or the other!
"Anything worth doing is worth doing well." Gotta spend money to make money when it comes to quality wood and hardware for builds.
I watch a lot of home renovations and how to decorate it but I do not know anything about carpentry but I WOULD LOOOOVE TO LEARN. I am planning to paint my mother’s kitchen and did not know how to decorate it for her until I saw your video. She loves her plants so much and when I stumbled into your videos, a gush of energy burst inside of me. Your video shows me that I can learn how to start small and work my way up. Thank you and I will continue to watch your videos. Hope you can show us how to build a bedroom wardrobe but not nailed to the wall. Thank you again. I’m excited
Dude Matthew - you are amazing. I built the original planter which is beautiful although I did have several issues with the pocket screws splitting the wood inspite of predrilling. I experimented with scrap wood using various combinations of depths on my pocket hole jig (Massca) and finally perfected it to where I have no more split wood. That was a great learning experience.
It's funny that you have a planter with the trellis as I had thought of doing exactly that on a larger planter box (4' x 2' x 2') I built.
Happy Mother's day to your mom and wife!
Thanks!!! Yes troubleshooting comes with this territory. Not all material is the same anymore. Thanks for supporting the channel!
Your videos are helping me chase a passion I've always had. I never had a guide to help me along the way. You're the reason I'll be able to take my kid to Disneyland this year. Thank you so much for your videos.
awesome! have fun.
That's so awesome! Now that's what I'm talking about!!!
Thank you for the video. I got serious about woodworking during the pandemic and it took off from there. I bought tools one by one , miter saw , table saw , jig set .. etc . Your instructions are right on ..
Between you and 731 woodworking, I have learned a ton of valuable stuff for woodworking! Thank you!!!
I enjoy how you freely share all your builds with the world. But also sell the plans so others can attempt to replicate your success. Thank you!!!
Finished my first planter today. Really enjoyed the project.
Your measurements and angles were spot on.
Thanks for posting this. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks!
Matthew - these are awesome! I'm gonna kick out a bunch of them for presents for my family! TY!!!
I pasted the cut list in to ChatGPT. Me: how many fence pickets will it take to make this? ChatGPT: 48. Me: Nah, I think it can be done in three. ChatGPT: Yes, my apologies for the slight error, it can be made in three. 😂😂😂😂 I bought the plans just to see how it can be cut from three pickets. Pure magic my friend, pure magic. Thanks for the video and the plans!
Lol
This is not a criticism, just a true questions. I have now made three of these, and the first one I used a 1in middle wall board, but have now changed to an 1 3/4 in for the middle wall board. i noticed in the start and end of this video, that the ones with the lattice framework, that they appear to be 1 3/4 not the 1in. The 1 in works, just had to be careful in nail/screw placement as it was super close. The plans are amazing as always, and I have enjoyed the build a lot, as does my yard :D ha.... Thank you!!!
Trellis is beautiful as well. Thank you
Thanks.
I want to sincerely thank you. I am just about to retire and have been worried about how to fill my time. I am going to build a workshop in my backyard and start to do some woodworking using your great ideas. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
I made the 3 picket planter box, gave it for a Mother’s Day gift. I used the PT pine, but stained it with the cedar stain. Came out nice
These are awesome can be used for all seasons ! Keep up the good work !
Thanks!
My lavender tree will look gorgeous in one of these. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree! Quality work will sell itself once some people have spread the word! If the work is not quality, purchases will fall off over time. Thank you!
Well said!
I love, love, love you videos and your vision for the group to help people.
This is just perfect! For years I have needed and wanted LARGE 16x16 wood planter boxes, but honestly the box stores were always too expensive for me. IF i can make 16x16 boxes for 15 $ each I will be very happy ($6 is probably a pipe dream for me so $15 is a happy price i can afford, cuz I kinda think the bottom needs to be a bit more sturdy to support the payload of dirt and plant plus a plastic liner to keep it from drying out too fast). TY for this video!
Thank you again … my favorite channel. God bless you my friend
Hi Matt, I purchased your plans and am excited to build these. I did want to mention a change to the design I made that involves materials. Home Depot sells a much higher grade treated fence picket for $2.78 that I am using to build 5 of these. It's 80 cents more, but it is still 6 foot long but a full 6" wide, 3/4" thick instead of 5/8", is lightly sanded and even has a coat of waterproofing stain applied! I looked through the design and the only real impact that I can see is that the "Middle Wall" pieces can be eliminated as the wider picket stock covers the entire side of the box. Also, I can use my existing stock of 1 1/4" exterior screws instead of the harder to find 1" screws.
How did you manage to inlay panel B into A if you're using 3/4" thick material? I also have 3/4" thick material (5 1/2" wide) but it's 1/16" too narrow on each side of A that B sticks out when I attach them together so from the outside it's not flush.
How'd you make yours work?
Was trying to design my own version of this and came across your video and it just simplified everything. I had overthought a lot of stuff and after seeing this I just needed to change the size of lumber I was using and everything fell into place, and became much easier. Thanks man
Of course! Glad you figured it out!
I sincerely congratulate you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. My sister loved the last planter but since I only have a few tools I told her I couldn't make it for her. But, this one is very simple and more with your explanations. Thanks again. Cheers from Mx.
There’s always builds that will fit your tool collection. Just have to find the right ones!
I love this, looks fairly easy and they are so nice. Can't wait to go get some pickets. As always, thank you, wonderful video. I agree, jugs are the best for quicker production. Fantastic!
I can't enough of your videos. So helpful, insightful and encouraging. Thank you!
THANK YOU! I love the business aspect you give with this series. The jig insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing all this!
Great stuff man! Thank you for putting these videos out, a lot of us really appreciate that.
My wife and I are doing our first craft show in September, think I’m going build some and see how the go, thanks
I would suggest putting pocket screws into crossboards and and B for strength. Your asking a lot of that small bite for the wall to hold that piece in place. Plus if you do it on the crossboards the wall boards will hide the holes after.
Thank you for sharing. Last year I had to close my computer/networking store due to health reasons and went from an $80k a year income down to $1294 a month income. (Hard to work when I have to have infusions for 12 hours a day for 4 days every 2 weeks for the rest of my life). It was one of the worst moments in my life. I thank God I paid off my home and all of my vehicles and am still here for my wife and my 16 year old daughter. (The caboose of 4 children). Even though I think it’s due to some shots I deceived in the Navy I can’t prove it so no help there. Anyway woodwork has been my love for many years and going from making toys for my kids and now grand kids to small furniture for friends and family I’m hoping to supplement some of my income this way. Your tutorials are a God send to me. I’m not sure how you got every board from three pickets exactly but I guess I can work on that or do like I did and just use 4. Maybe I can use sketchup and do a cut sheet layout from that lol. I can’t offer anything for now except my thanks and prayers for your continued health and blessings on you but you have this Texans thanks and I’m tipping my hat to you sir. Again thank you.
Thank you Matthew this is thinking outside the Box working like you said with Cedar boards due to the increase of wood Lumber I don't have a channel now but I am working in a lot of these projects using just simple boards thank you for your help but this one opens up the mine on further projects that I've been thinking with flower boxes thank you again
Finished my first "three picket planter" and friends and family love it.
Thanks. I bought the plans they were well worth it.
Thank you so much, your a great inspiration and teacher
Thanks for the time you take to show how to build these wood projects.
I went over to Lowe's and saw their cedar trellis's and they are$30-$40 for a really cheap thin frame. If they can sell cheap stuff for that much I know well built trellises could go for a lot more. I'll be trying these ideas out. I just finished my first cedar planter and can't wait to do more. Thanks Matthew!!
Great project & love the showing of setting up the jigs. Thank you!
Apologies if someone else has commented on this, but I saw this on A Glimpse Inside's channel that he buys his screws from CS Hardware (just search for it). They seem to carry all sorts of fasteners at very reasonable bulk prices.
Great series, Matt! Keep up the great builds and ideas.
Love your planter box with the trellis ❤
This video gave me this push I needed to start getting my hobby to pay for itself. I just finished the cut stage on my first one. I just need to figure out how to nest the parts more efficiently. I got all but the (2) 1”x14 3/8” pieces in 3 pickets. Can’t wait to start assembling!
Thanks for this Matthew. Good stuff. I appreciate the time you put in to these things.
Matthew, great channel! Appreciate all the advice and insights! One thing I did differently on this build was add a half lap x frame to the bottom vs. the original plans. It seems to help with racking a bit better than the original. I thought I would pass along. Thanks again!
Matt, I was unsure that these could be made with three (3) pickets but you are right they can.
A little update on material and price as of 3/14/2023 in my area in Michigan.
The big orange guy has 3/4x6x6 treated for $2.68 each. Yes real 3/4 thick but the width is 5 3/4 that is strange and they have a 5/8 red pine treated which is 5/8 thick for $2.97 each
The big blue guy has 5/8 nom. cedar which all of them are running 1/2" thick for $3.97 each The treated pine is also nominal 5/8" but all are at 1/2" thick for $2.18 each. Nice simple design for the planter and looks good. Good Job
I completely love these, my wife completely loves these, and I’m looking forward to future clients loving these Matthew. I’m going to try staining all the face grain parts before assembly to create. 2 tone look with the cedar. I’m excited to see how they turn out. Thank you for all the time you put into creating these builds for us. Take care!
face frame 🤪
How many 1 3/4, 1 3/8 and 1” rip cuts do you make from each picket? Thanks
Thanks man. I made the first one and the jigs. Posted it on FB and it sold in less than 24 hours at over 200% profit. A second person is showing some interest as well so I’ll get the pickets to make two more and presto... instant business has begun. Can’t wait to try out some of your smalls ideas.
Your other video encouraged me to build a few of the wedge shaped ones. They came out pretty good for someone who's only ever built rectangle speaker boxes. lol. never cut a bevel on anything before. I learned a lot doing that!
Heck yea! Thats how you grow. Getting out of your comfort zone... theres nothing to learn there.
Gonna build this, looks awesome 💪🏼🙏🏻🦅
Ordered your plans for both three picket planters. Great plans and cut list. Very efficient use of materials. Thanks for the content!
YES!I am making this today!Thank you!
I'm excited to build these and help me provide this summer. The money from this will go towards fall festival booth inventory, I'll be building things every day all summer for it
Bought the plans today, and I will be making them tomorrow after work. Cut list is straight forward!!
Thank you
I actually added a trellis to the last box u made love it!
just going through the video again today to make notes Matthew. I noticed at 18:25 you said 2" 8" and 16". I think you meant 14" as this would have put the screw at the mitred edge. Wicked build and directions... I'm just finishing up some tiered planters and then I'm onto these.. so excited.. Thanks again Matthew!!
I have been following all your "smalls" build videos and this one has been highlighted for as well as the deck box. I want to make a bunch and go to my local farmers market and trade center to sell some stuffs. Thank you Matthew.
Pure genius!! I will definitely be making these! Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us!
These are fantastic! Very nice solid build, put a hinge on it and you got instant grandkid toy boxes as well. Even some casters on the bottom to move around....
Nice job. My mom loved the previous one for Mom's day gift, keep the great ideas coming 🙂
This style has been referred to as Crossbuck. It was/is popular on storm doors. It represents a rustic farmhouse country style as seen on barn doors etc.
love your ideas and simple instructions. I am more of a visual hands on learner, although I can follow drawings as well, and appreciate seeing your techniques being demonstrated. I am sure there are many other’s like me. Keep up the great work!!
Wow I’ve been watching your videos for a while I think you’ve inspired me to set up shop I have all the tools.
I am a skilled builder by trade but overtime that trade wears on you I’m at the stage now where I don’t wanna drive all over the place to build things out of wood.
So if I can make this something I can make money in a modest living out of my garage then that’s what I want to do. thank you so much for the inspiration.
Oh and great video love you jigs.
Oh and folks go to your big box stores and talk to the lumber guys especially in the evening close to closing time because they are going through the lumber and pulling cull lumber… HD will give you up to 70% off cull lumber
I made a couple of those and sold them as soon as I finished them thanks for sharing your videos
Great job!
I've made quite a few if these just for my own use. I find that if there's much weight at all in the box tje screws pull out. I don't use large holes or anything and I do pre drill to avoid wood splitting. Open to ideas to make bottom stronger
Mathew, great build. I use those same pickets to make bluebird houses. 1 picket for each bluebird house!
Show us how!! Would love to make those too! O send the plans to matthew to show us lol😉
I could get two, at least. But I have a huge stockpile of copper roofing panels.
