Double thumbs up to Del from Charlotte NC. Both the video and the plans are terrific. I’m a semi-competent beginner who’s not exactly a natural. The plans were doable but also great for skill-building, and I admit the compound angle cuts were a bit of a struggle for someone who’s not a whiz at spatial relationships. But when I finally got my head around it the victory was sweet. Cannot recommend the plans enough. 😎
Thank you! I put a ton of time into these plans to make them as comprehensive as possible considering the challenges of depicting 3D concepts in 2D form. I’m glad you liked the plans and were able to build yourself some planters!
83 years young. Finally getting started in my shop. Started buying tools in the 90's one at a time. (had to work each into the budget). Now almost all my tools are new (slightly used, if at al). I bought the plans, watched the video three times and will start gathering everything. This will be a bit more than the "rustic" birdhouses I've done so far. Thanks for making the plans and the video. Oh yeah, South Georgia, almost to Florida
Welcome to my channel! I’m so happy you like the video and thank you for purchasing the plans! If you have any questions while building them don’t hesitate to reach out
scotland man here: i spent 3 solid 8 hour days in my garage building planters of all shapes and sizes. i bought the Milwaukee brad nailer 2 months ago and it was a joy using it.
That’s awesome!!! Sounds like a great 3 days spent in the shop! Please share pictures of the planters on Instagram (if you use Instagram) and tag me so I can see them (@dellsdiy).
Watching all this great videos in how to build cedar planters, it makes it wanna start uploading videos on how I built mine platers out of pallets and only using basic tools, I know it’s a different kind of wood but I’m giving a second chance to wood that for others is scrap but for me is free Gold. Keep the good work all you. 👍
@ yes I will, is pretty cool how you use all left over board and not scrap them, but check the link below if you ever plan make some out of full boards, or probably you already know, I make one yesterday with whole length boards and it was easy and simple, not much work. th-cam.com/video/9e9ZMVcc9iY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Fbo3tAaIGO9v0SJ-
Be prepared to be the coolest guy in the neighborhood, the talk of the town, with these planters outside 😆. Thanks for trusting me with your subscription!
One of the BEST Build videos I've ever seen!! Absoute beginning her - and every step and process were clear and helpful! Great presentation style on the video also! Calm, pleasant & thorough! I'll send you a picture when I finish mine!! 😊
Thank you so much! I was so frustrated watching videos that didn’t actually tell me how to make them, figured I’d try to make a better video explaining the process. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for spending some of your time watching my videos. Hopefully I can continue to improve the videos as I make more. It’s been a steep learning curve on video production, the woodworking comes much easier lol
It’s definitely a great time to work in the shop and build out a handful of them for people to buy for the spring planting season! Thanks for checking out the video and watching from TX!!
Finland! Wow, thank you for watching. If you end up building a planter be sure to post a pic to my Instagram and you’ll be the first person to make a planter in Finland!
Thanks for subscribing! I’m going to be posting a bunch of build videos coming up!! They really are beautiful planters, I have three on my driveway and front porch. I’m going to add another couple on my deck as well
Very nice video. I like your running commentary. Your find of all that cedar was a once in a lifetime. I am considering using fence pickets for these. Here in SC the fence pickets are about $3 each so it would be an inexpensive project.
I am getting the plans for this one. Nice build. I too switched to battery operated nailer and LOVE IT. I have the Dewalt and it is really sweet. Uses 4 different size nails.
I’m so happy you like this build! The plans are very detailed, I hope you love the finished project. I will never go back to pneumatic nailers after using battery nailers…such a great convenience to be ready all the time with the noise of a compressor.
First time on your channel , enjoyed the build . Btw ,what a great snag to pick up the scrap wood. Thanks for keeping it from the nearby rivers and lakes . Cheers from I 40 @exit 392
Welcome to my channel! I’ll be driving through Tennessee in a couple weeks when I bring my daughter to college in South Carolina. I’ll give you a honk at your exit🤣! Hopefully you subscribed so you can follow my next projects!
Atl GA here. I went with one of those pintrest 5% plans lol 😂 it turned out horrible.. you however sir have explained this magically and I thank you so much. My middle brother came over after I sent a picture and explained it almost the same as you did. That’s what I get for 1st time not wanting to do 80 cuts.. made this in 9 cuts and it can show 🤦♂️
I subbed to your channel. I just looked and seen you only have 10 videos up and haven't put out anything in 6 months. This was a great video and you did a good job with the narating. I hope to see more of your videos.
Thank you for your sub and patience with my slowness to post content. I fell into the rut of “this content isn’t good enough” and then made new videos trying to improve. Big mistake. Going forward I won’t be trying to be perfect and just post my builds and hopefully enough people will find the videos to add some value and stick around for more.
Congrats on jumping into this amazing hobby/business, and jumping onto to TH-cam to see what others are doing. Thank you for the watching and your kind words. Wife projects are the best! I hope you stick around to see what else I’ve got cookin’
Great build , love the idea of repurposing the wood going to be scrapped. Great information and video. Smashed the like and subscribe button from Montreal Canada 👊👍
Great explanation, plans, and video! Thank you! Have you considered adding a base compatible for a pallet jack or fork lift for easy movement/transportation?? I’m guessing these boxes should be 100+ lbs after adding soil and vegetation?? Again, thank you for your knowledge and time!
Question for you when you get time : Can you tell me the reason behind going horizontal with the initial framing instead of vertical? Without paying enough attention to the assembly method I automatically went vertical instead, assembling with #6 x 1 stainless steel screws. Because the trim boards hide these screws, I also decided to screw the trim on with screws from the inside leaving no marks of assembly. What I don't say is I probably assembled and disassembled this thing 4+ times trying to figure out how its done. If there was a way to shoot you a pic or two I'd gladly do it so you could see what I'm talking about. Thanks again for your time and consideration.
Thanks for sharing your build process. There’s really no reason why I started by building each level instead of starting with each side. There’s probably a dozen ways to build this. I found it easiest to build each level then stack them and trim them out. I like your idea of screwing everything in from the back but again I wanted to make a beginners level plan and stacking and nailing was definitely simpler. I’d love to see your project. Feel free to share pics on Instagram or Facebook if interested in sharing
If you don’t cut the bevel on the bottom, the planter will essentially be sitting either on the edge of the boards instead of on the full surface of the edge or if you’re using rubber feet like I did, your rubber feet will be on an angle. That’s because the boards taper in from top to bottom
Making taller ones will be the same exact process but you would add another level of fence picket. Instead of three you would do 4 or 5. The plans will help with that as well since you may need to adjust the planter angle
Stainless steel is the best choice for any outdoor application but dipped galvanized are more economical but won’t last forever. Both would be fine for planters
It really depends on the market, how many other people are selling planters, etc. typically $50-75 is a sweet spot that I’ve found but have gone higher depending on demand. Have fun building.
Thanks, I thought the stand would help take some of that weight off of the planter, not really sure if it’s entirely necessary but has been working really well.
Ed and I go way back and he does this as a favor for me 🤣. This is the first I’ve heard of a similarity to his voice but I think I’ll take that as a compliment. 🤷
FYI for anyone. You can make feet for the planter out of the stiles. Just leave them longer and it will elevate the planter from the ground. Helps prolong lifetime in avoiding rot. 👍🏾
How did you get the stiles to become completely flat to the ground? Example .. With the angle set at say 7 degrees the stiles end touching the ground on an end point not flush. Did you cut them back the on-site 7 degrees? Tia for your response an thoughts. Cvbs
That’s correct, the edge that touches the ground is also cut to the same angle as the taper used on the whole planter so that it is completely flat to the ground
Hi Arun, thanks for watching the video! The link to the glue mat is in the link below, roughly in the middle of the page has links to all products I used. www.dellsdiy.com/diy-tapered-cedar-planters/
Hi. It’s pretty small. Even though it’s in a three car garage, two of the stalls have cars in them, the last stall has riding lawnmower, snowblower etc leaving me with about 10’x12’ dedicated shop and then I move a bunch of tools (tablesaw, workbench, etc) into the middle car stall when building.
Hi, in the video description I have a link that goes to a page where all of the products I used are linked. There’s a link to this glue mat posted there. I love it because it’s large. I highly recommend it. www.dellsdiy.com/diy-tapered-cedar-planters
Hi Nancy, I would highly recommend getting a cheap table saw if you want to get into some basic woodworking projects or crafts. But if you’re not comfortable using power tools then I totally understand why you may not be interested.
Projects like this can easily be accomplished w/o a table saw. I recently built a few of these with chop saw to cut the lengths & then bandsaw for the strips. Do you have any saws? Even a portable jig saw or circular saw could be used. Heck, a good old handsaw could work too. Higher end power tools just quicken the process & are usually more accurate. (Depending on your skill level).
Greeting from Elgin, SC..For everyone else make absolutely certain your lumber is really flat with no bowing or warpage. Those tapered layers will never align properly if not.. I only know this because a little birdie told me. I sold a lot of cedar planters over the past few years, but the price of cedar suddenly skyrocketed.. Only my hairdresser knows when the price drops and I don't even have a hair dresser. Just so you know, don't bother with box store "cedar fence pickets". They're not usually cedar, they're almost always still wet and if you're using a cast iron table saw you'll end up with a rusty cast iron table saw top and they'll warp before you ever get them assembled..
Thanks for sharing. I agree with you to make sure you fry the fence pickets in the sun for a day or two. Usually they will dry out perfectly. Thanks for watching Martino, I hope you stick around for more projects!
Thanks for your support. I wasn’t aware that I was shooting nails towards myself because that is definitely a no-no. At what time stamp did I do that? I want to see what you’re referring to
@@dellsdiy Look at 7:34, while technically not fully aimed at you, with no safety glasses, anything could happen since the nailer is on the other side of the planter. Still, lots of good work and effort in the posting!

Have you considered adding a base compatible for a pallet jack or fork lift for easy movement/transportation?? I’m guessing these boxes should be 100+ lbs after adding soil and vegetation??
Again, thank you for your knowledge and time!

Thanks for your support. I wasn’t aware that I was shooting nails towards myself because that is definitely a no-no. At what time stamp did I do that? I want to see what you’re referring to
@@dellsdiy Look at 7:34, while technically not fully aimed at you, with no safety glasses, anything could happen since the nailer is on the other side of the planter. Still, lots of good work and effort in the posting!
Fair point, a nail can hit a knot and ricochet in any direction.
Brantford, on
Thanks for watching up there!

Bad? Too loud? I’m always looking for ways to improve my videos and would love to hear some feedback.
