Woodworking: The BEST & EASIEST Planters To Make!

$51 in lumber and $680 for Kreg screws.

Fisher quick question for you. I have the same miter saw, when i cut thick stock the blade will deflect unless i cut very aggressively. Any clue why this happens?

Out takes are the best to see.

Drew, I'm sorry to be the one to point this out, but you flipped the small and medium levels on the Tri-level planter. The plans show the small on the left but you built it with it on the right. Hehe great vid as always!

What?!? No plug made from walnut? No marriage between the Kreg jig holes and a single brass slotted screw? I am disappoint.

I love your editing. 👍

No flathead screw?

At this point we are starting to feel bad for his neighbor. He is a single dad who works in a factory 60 hours a week.

That plug cutter is a good idea! don't know if it will work with older kregg jigs though...

The flower boxes turned out nice, but you forgot to paint them the same color as the house or the railings. 😉

CRAPSTICKS! 😂

I know the vid is sponsored, but I feel like that rail planter could have gone together with just glue and brads.

Next up: Tablesaw restoration video!

Thanks! Those are awesome. I wish I could keep a plant alive.

I am so saying S foils in attack position next time I'm putting up my miter wings up.

And I like my 720 Pro. Not as much as my Domino, but it's miles above other pocket jigs.

Wait?? No flathead screw?

This video plants a seed!

Drew's next video ... table saw top restoration.

Great projects, Drew!
Gave me an idea for a future project.

Whelp. Guess I know what I’m makeing for my sisters birthday this weekend

Nice work. I feel you on the rust... I made a couple of cedar planters and left a piece on my saw. Doh. 🤦‍♂️

I have an older kreg jig. Is this one worth the upgrade cost?

I think it’s worth noting you probably shouldn’t use pressure treated wood for anything you want to plant to eat. Pay the extra to build it out of cedar for safety 🙂

You need to get Kreg to make a slotted head pocket screw

"as good as used"

I've gotta keep this one in my pocket!

Thanks for posting...these are nice builds!!! I so appreciate your out-takes...Man I'm glad I'm not the only one who does silly things! I am such a cluts in my shop. Thanks for being real!

You exited through the entrance like a true rebel

Great video as always Drew the planters look amazing. And absolutely love the outtakes lol. Thanks for sharing

I already subscribed and bought the plan thanks

You sir, are the man. I want to build a few of these for my wife

It looks like you walked right out the HD any skipping paying. Then the line right after “…because I’m a cheapskate..” lol

Thank you for sharing the video. I learned a lot of useful things while watching this video

OK, so... s-foils in attack position had me laughing so I missed the next 30 seconds... box designs were great and I'll be getting even more of your plans... outtakes make me feel better since I'm not alone... and your asthma attack after knocking the dust off the light fixture was just [chef's kiss] like watching myself work. Great video.

A special kind of stupid... As good as used... The woodworking was really good also.

Nice looking planters. Be careful though, the Blue Kreg screws are not rated for wood treated with ACQ (Alkaline copper quaternary) and all the local treated wood uses that. It will destroy the screws in a few years. Use stainless steel if you can find ones that have the washer head.

Great video

I left some PT boards on my plywood top assembly table for a couple days. When I finally picked them up there was mold on the unsealed plywood. 🤦

No flat head pocket hole screws?

Pocket holes are fine, but slow and visible. I've designed, built, and sold a lot of planter boxes. Galvanized staples, waterproof PVA glue, and cedar produces the cleanest looking and most durable boxes for the same cost (or less).

Your neighbor is obviously part of the supply chain problem if he can’t keep what you need on hand!!

Okay, I know this was sponsored by Kreg, but I don’t think you needed to screw down every slat with pocket screws. That’s like $100 in pocket screws! Also surprised Kreg wouldn’t pay for the cedar. Pressure treated is not something I’d run my nice saw blades through. I love your channel, but this one felt like a reach. Also, no unnecessary walnut and not one flathead screw!

Give drews account back please

A planter I built nearly two decades ago has finally started falling apart and wife asked for a new one. The first build in this video will fit the bill perfectly! Great job Drew! BTW, your online website is showing as private. I can't get the plans from there. Keep up the awesome work!

Is ok to use regular outdoor glue on pressure treated wood, or do you need polyurethane glue for that?

nice

I swear, in another life he was the narrator for Curious George... 🤔


Tbh, my daughter was just watching Curious George, and I opened up this video on my phone, hit play, and my eyes crossed. 😵‍💫

Awesome job, they are all gorgeous. And I love watching your videos!!!

Did you get the Kreg flat head screw kit ??? Love these planters, thanks for sharing !!!

great projects....funny as ever bloopers section. And not a slotted screw in sight!
