I wanted to thank you! You're channel has given me the freedom to quit my job and go full time in the shop. By selling small it helps cover those more frequent bills and helps me finance bigger ones!
That is awesome Jessie! And the exact point I've been trying to get across. Even for folks that like larger builds smalls are a perfect way to create fluid income while your building your larger items. Good luck with the new venture my man!
Damn bro you serious? That's what I'm building up for now. Currently just cranking out coasters, frames, crosses stands, lantern holders ECT. Haven't started selling yet. Can you break down a summary of steps you took on what you did getting started?
I quit woodworking 2012. And I watch your videos and you kick started me up again from these videos. Thanks. Garage is being converted into shop again starting today.
I been a carpenter over 40 years, you do niiiice niiiiice stuff , plus your videos would help out todays young workers, generally i see these videos and laugh to myself but your good keep up the great page
I’m from NY / and go to Cape Cod in Summer. And I just retired. You are the Best. I joke that I’m talking woodworking 101 from instructors from around the USA and their is no need to go to college. Never thought I would get into making home decor but hear we go . Thanks buddy 👍
I can't keep up with you. I've been wanting to start a farm style box, but you keep coming up with new ideas....then the storage unit you built blew my mind. I just finished a pottery bench for my better half so now I can start the farm style and then I'll try the fern box. Your pooch ROCKS. You should make a video on building something for the pooch. Love the videos and your ideas. I'm hooked.....
Hi Mathew, I really enjoy watching your videos. I purchsed 25 dog ear fence planks for $1.50 a piece yesterday to get started on projects,and hopefully I make some money can you tell me how I can get some of your plans please. Thank you Theron
My husband and I have sold at markets for years. We paused for covid. I'm going to do a slow start this year and spend the off season building. Thanks for the inspiration. My husband would have loved your channel. 10 thumbs up!
Ran out to the Depot after watching this to get supplies. Just got done showing the wife the finished product and she can't believe how good it looks for the price it was to build. Thank you!
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I am getting ready to retire in about a year and I already like working with wood and your projects are perfect for me to keep busy while doing something I like. There are always some sort of craft fairs or community yard sale. I love your videos.
Always enjoy your posts Matthew. I look forward to watching them after church each Sunday. You have great ideas and instruction for these builds. Keep up the excellent work and God bless!
Great video as always! With the great detail you go into with your projects I’m surprised you didn’t put the vertical screws from the inside of the box out to hide the screws. Keep up the amazing ideas!
Thank you so much for being willing to share your skills with others. I have always wanted to create things to sell but was too afraid to start and fail. Your videos have given me the courage to start without having to buy tons of expensive gadgets and tools. I already have almost all I need. Appreciate your videos and tips!!!
I’m switching from FRP to wood while the cost of everything is up! And this guy has it going on with knowledge! Thank you! Thank you! For being real!!!
Hey brother just made one of these for the first time today. Had a blast and it turned out nice. Got a chance to use some cool tools and techniques - the taper and trim make this pop for sure and using the brad nailer was key. Added a couple tapered scraps for a shelf about 8 inches under the top and it worked well to hold a smaller pot for now. Will be giving a few away and Im sure peeps will be hitting me up when their friends see these. Thanks man!
Wow, I'm honored to have made it to your brag board! I love your approach to building these projects. I've done your trellis, your angled planter, and I'm finishing up your square planter today. And I guess I'll be starting on your tall planter soon. Keep up the good work!
Im gonna work on making the trellis tomorrow. I wasnt sure whether pressure treated 2x's were essential or not. i have untreated laying around, so i plan on just ripping those for now for prototype and making my jig. I plan on using spar urethane as a finish. Treated lumber seems more ideal for a trellis, but does treated lumber bend as easily?
I built and sold my first project which was an “airmail” corn hole trainer. I am working on the planters next. I too am a full time self employed handyman and I ultimately want to just do wood projects. Thank you for your videos!!!!
@@andrewsmithmilan1780 you can look it up in TH-cam. It’s an 18”x18” board with the 6” hole in the center. Sits at 10 degrees like regular cornhole boards. It’s regulation size and used for airmail tournaments and for training to get the bags in the hole without sliding. Makes the person more accurate. Has to set at the same height in the back with that same slope. Check them out, lots of cool stuff you can do with them.
I have been watching a lot of your vids lately and just picked up some fence pickets to build one of these for a trial to see how it looks. I love the idea of using cheap lumber and milling it to make what you want. Especially in Australia at the moment, the price is ridiculous, if you can even get what you are after. I just paid $6 each for 4 foot pickets, so it will be a tad over $10 by the time it's done, but still cheaper than furniture grade timber.
Matt, I agree with all these comments who are saying that you are knocking it out of the park with these videos. I just wish I could get cedar pickets here in New England. At the big box stores, 10 of the pressure treated pine cost $77. Honestly, the biggest problem is that I'm giving them as gifts for mothers day, house warmings don't have any left to sell!!
I built a couple of those yesterday and they came out fantastic! I was a little intimidated at first with all the angles but it ended up being a breeze. Only change I made was with the top horizontal strip. I found when picking the box up I was grabbing under that, and I could definitely feel it shifting a little with just glue and nails. So I put a couple screws in each one and it’s solid as a rock.
Love this!!! I went onto your etsy store (because I'm one of those that like plans😁) and I was wondering if you could put a bundle/combo together for the 3 picket planter, the farmhouse picket planter, the garden trellis, and this 5 picket tall box planters? I'm newer to wood working and would really like to start selling what I make and all these I feel would sell like crazy where I live.
Thank you 🙏. I started making farm style signs sold my first sign on Saturday already have a couple more customers. Family members want signs and now this week I start making planter boxes. Thank you for this channel.
Love your channel! In addition to being a master craftsman. You are so encouraging. BTW…saw your Boxer and now I am even more convinced that you are a great guy!
Well Matthew,you have been an inspiration for this old fart. I've always played around with furniture building as a hobby my whole life until 8 years ago when I was involved in a very bad motorcycle wreck that left me disabled.(caused by a drunk and doped up cager) Two years later,when I was finally able to walk again I started playing around in my little woodshop again to have something to do, sitting around with my leg propped up just ain't my gig. I've slowly drifted away from furniture,needed something lighter to work with. Bought a wood lathe last October and fell in love with that but I still love sawing and hammering on stuff. I've found that a lot of your stuff is right up my alley! I enjoy building a lot of the stuff that you do videos on,who says an old dog can't learn new tricks!😎 Built a couple of the smaller farmhouse planters yesterday and just finished a tall one a few minutes ago. Keep em coming Mathew! Just gotta say one more thing. 5' 10"?!?! I figured you were taller bro!😂🤣😅
Man the look on your face when you realized you had 2 tape measures on your hip was absolutely hilarious...... I totally cracked up because I know that feeling. I had picked my daughter and her friend up from school like any other day and I keep my cell phone laying over my steering column against the gauge cluster..... well we were going down the highway and I looked and realized my phone wasn't in it usual spot so I asked my daughter if she had it and no she didn't have it..... so I am starting to panic a little and all the sudden my daughter starts cracking up and said.... look in your left hand... DUH!!!!! I had the damn thing the whole time.
Awesome as always! Want to commend you for being such an inspiration to others that with some basic tools, building and creativity is within everyone's grasp. Get over the fear and just do it. A saying I'm working by lately is "get out of your own way". I'm very inspired and beginning to do projects I never would have imagined I'd do. Keep it up! A suggestion for the patreon page would be showing the process of creating and brainstorming these things and the failed attempts that inevitably ensue.
Awesome Idea!! And love that quote as well... we hold ourselves back... no one else. Thanks for supporting the channel and keep making!!! Push yourself to learn something new every day!
I like as you are using the nailer you raise your fingers out of the way. That tells me, someone has gotten a finishing nail in the finger before. I have!!! lol. Thanks for your plans and showing how to assemble.
Brother what you are doing here is giving tons of people basic builds, saving money and building basic skills. This is wonderful. The hardest part that I can't seem to source the cedar at the $3.99 price point. The pressure treated Southern Yellow pine dog ear fence picket runs $2.18 for a 5/8 - 5-1/2" - 6' long. Lowes is stuff as you really need to fish through the pile to fine enough good boards. Would love to find a source that I could have delivered in bulk. Keep up the great work. After I get some of these built, I will taking your idea and making window box modified to go on a test or porch.
Hi Matthew, welcome from Australia, just like to say that I built a smaller tall planter and in the build I used a ratchet strap to keep all the A to E assembles togetter, your channel is one of the best I have seen, keep up the good work
I was looking to buy something similar but now excited to try and make this for my first project! I have a few items that sit next to my plants. Would like to see a cubby to store the watering can, plant food etc. Not sure if that will make this too difficult for a first timer! Love to hear from you before purchasing plans for this project.
Matthew I’m not sure how comments work as far as seeing them on older videos so I thought I’d post here even though it’s not in this video. In one of your older you mentioned your old planer or shaper (I can’t remember which) being three phase, if you haven’t gotten it running yet before you buy a phase converter take a look a VFD. A friend of mine runs one in and old 3 phase Delta cabinet saw and it pretty slick.
Hey David! Yea it's hard for me to keep up with comments from older videos. I have been looking at the VFD converters but havent seen one in action. I think im going to pick one up and see how it does! Thanks! Matthew
That's my next project. Already have done 3 ft trees and a 7 ft tree out of 100 yr old lumber from an old barn that came from England. Also a few wind spindles for Christmas presents.
Matthew. My life has been difficult for a while now. You have inspired me to try something. I’m going to start with coasters, I have a twist in my minds eye which I think could be successful. I will let you know how it goes, but for now, thankyou.
So happy I found your channel - just getting serious with woodworking and love the ideas, the approach and of course, the jigs. Aspiring Brag Board title holder. Thank you, sir.
I bought the lumber on day 1, Day 8 they got cut all to size. Day 15 still on om my work bench waiting to be assembled. Now the boards warped a little. Almost 3 months after buying the lumber I took the afternoon and put it all together. I made so many errors I needed to correct but it was fun. Now all together and very sturdy even with assembly errors but my wife like it. Now she wants a 6 foot long one.
I've been building the "Farmhouse" style planters and selling them for $50 in my area. I did my first batch out of the 5/8" pickets, but even using your plans, I had to add an extra picket for every 3 planters. Apparently my dog-eared 6' pickets have a different dog ear cut that messes up the 3rd board. Anyway, my last batch I just made, I used some 3/4" pickets that my local Lowes started selling. They are about a dollar more per picket, but they are smooth. No roughness to sand. Saves me alot of time, which more than makes up for that extra dollar per picket. I just have to trim the edges of the back panels on back wall "B" to get them to assemble correctly. Also, they take the screws better than the 5/8 soft boards.
The planters look really nice. However, being on the tall side, I would be afraid that with a potted plant in them it would be top heavy and might fall over. Additionally, the planter sitting in water would damage the bottom. So, my suggestion is to perhaps build a footed platform in the bottom, which would raise the planter and add some needed weight to it. Maybe use 2×4 for the footed platform and maybe put a small patio stone or a brick or 2. Just my 3 cents....
I can build anything but I seriously lack in design. I don't have time to make prototypes so I greatly appreciate these vids and tips, saves me the time of trying to make something look good.
I did all my cuts per the plans purchased, love the way you set up the pdf. I assembled all my boxes, one out one in style. Went to stack them and boxes D and E are too large to be cohesive, the overhang on the sides doesnt allow the trim to be added. The first planter I used critical thinkkng and leveled the vertical edge sticking out, then removed some of backing from the wider Leg so it would fit. It works for now but the rest of the board is over hung, so will be facing away from the street and not visible to most. I will to experiement with shorten measurements for D and E. The 2nd planter i will try this on, hopefully get it all even out. I am also going to add a shelf so pots will sit instead of hang for dear life by their plastic edging. Dont need a traumatized plant 😂
Great news to share, I took apart the D and E boxes, picked 2 pieces and started trimming small amounts off keeping that wonderful 3 degree off 90. Successfully got rid of the jut out. I kept the 1st tower as is and decided to add stain to specific areas to create illusion of evenness. Excited to continue forward now. If you don't experience challenges in life, then you can't grow. Peace and Love and Light
made 2 of the short ones for the wife, working on a double-length one, and now I gotta make her a tall one? keep pumping out the designs, it's helping me build the skills. one suggestion, mention how to efficiently make the cuts. i ended up using an extra pickett on my first build guessing at the order of the cuts.
After a couple hours planing and sanding. Cut the boards like i was the Queen bee. Paid attention to the alternating boards. Rocked it. Then stacked the boxes like a rock star. Needless to say when they didn't stack tapering that 3 degrees off should have been on the bottom of my mitre, not the top. So laughing at myself right now. Will try it again next week. In the intrim, i have some cute planter boxes.
Love the videos and ideas. Pinterest is addicting. Lol. I send you a planter I did with laser engraving from one of you latest videos and a hall mirror with Vancouver island and live edge. To bad we can't post pictures on TH-cam. Cheers Steve
Not gonna lie, I just watched this again from the beginning. Picked up 5 pickets. 2.30 in my area at home Depot. I'll check Lowe's for the next one. Can't wait to get home tonight and dive in. May plane them to skip the sanding. I hate sanding...haha
I appreciate All these ideas I keep getting from you and few others. I don't see how my woodworking could fail. I've got 1son to set up our Etsy store, and our other online store. My wife who spends more time on Facebook than I ever have and is more familiar with it than I am, can run the Facebook store. Those plans would require a family effort. I think I'll have to start smaller.
Solid idea of creating the TH-cam video and then offering the plans on Etsy. Unfortunately, you really need to revise your costs because today its only gotten worse. Wishing you the best.
So the plant pots just sits squeezed in the planter, we don't need to add a little ledge inside for the pot to sit on. Good to know. Great video tutorial, thank you.
I’ve been using that exact pencil for all my woodworking for over 15 years, it makes a really precise line for precision work. I started using them when I did siding and making door and window wraps because they had to fit together perfectly or they would look like crap. That’s the only pencil I use. Carpenter pencils are for people that don’t need anything precise. Can’t stand to use them. Great video.
Someone on some platform, (maybe a FB group) suggested using half laps for the top trim so that the gaps from shrinking weren't as noticeable. I've been wondering about that. Would be an extra 10-15 minutes depending on how quickly it can be set up. I just don't remember if they meant staying with the 45s or using butt joints.
I wanted to thank you! You're channel has given me the freedom to quit my job and go full time in the shop. By selling small it helps cover those more frequent bills and helps me finance bigger ones!
That is awesome Jessie! And the exact point I've been trying to get across. Even for folks that like larger builds smalls are a perfect way to create fluid income while your building your larger items. Good luck with the new venture my man!
Damn bro you serious? That's what I'm building up for now. Currently just cranking out coasters, frames, crosses stands, lantern holders ECT. Haven't started selling yet. Can you break down a summary of steps you took on what you did getting started?
@@kl3mm3r86 can you send me info on your coasters n stands for sale once you start?
Nobody makes money selling home made wood products, in your wildest dreams.
@@robertkat must be doing it wrong
Matt put on one more tier and a 14" plastic pot fits right in. The wife loved it.

A year ago we installed our fence and have hundreds of 12 inch cutoffs. This build will use 40 of them per pair. Excellent and great build Mathew.
Heck Yea!!! There you go!!! Thats what Im talking about... people think we are crazy for holding onto "scraps". lol.
Sweet!

@@MatthewPeechWoodworking they’re pretty slick, they have to be sized right, you can set turn up to spool up and down slowly and even act as a brake.
He is the BEST so helpful I enjoy everything he does
Why thank you!
Wow! Just came across your video. What a FANTASTIC planter!
Love the design, inspired me I going to try an build these for my front porch, enjoy all of your videos, Thanks for sharing your ideas
Thanks! Debbie... You said "try"... You've got this!
That's my next project. Already have done 3 ft trees and a 7 ft tree out of 100 yr old lumber from an old barn that came from England. Also a few wind spindles for Christmas presents.
Matthew. My life has been difficult for a while now. You have inspired me to try something. I’m going to start with coasters, I have a twist in my minds eye which I think could be successful. I will let you know how it goes, but for now, thankyou.
Stumbled upon your videos/channel a couple of weeks ago and loving all your content! These planters are awesome!
Welcome aboard Jennifer! Glad you like them!
Thanks again Matthew, great Idea and another great build, thanks again
Thanks for watching Jeff!
Loved it Mr P
Love the new tall planter!
So happy I found your channel - just getting serious with woodworking and love the ideas, the approach and of course, the jigs. Aspiring Brag Board title holder. Thank you, sir.
Thanks Matthew! Shoot me over some pics and I'll put it on there!
I bought the lumber on day 1, Day 8 they got cut all to size. Day 15 still on om my work bench waiting to be assembled. Now the boards warped a little. Almost 3 months after buying the lumber I took the afternoon and put it all together. I made so many errors I needed to correct but it was fun. Now all together and very sturdy even with assembly errors but my wife like it. Now she wants a 6 foot long one.
I love your channel and you as a carpenter/ instructor. You are great!
Thanks Sylvie!
They call them twisty trees, topiaries!!😊😊 I had to look it up cause I could not think of it either!!
I've been building the "Farmhouse" style planters and selling them for $50 in my area. I did my first batch out of the 5/8" pickets, but even using your plans, I had to add an extra picket for every 3 planters. Apparently my dog-eared 6' pickets have a different dog ear cut that messes up the 3rd board. Anyway, my last batch I just made, I used some 3/4" pickets that my local Lowes started selling. They are about a dollar more per picket, but they are smooth. No roughness to sand. Saves me alot of time, which more than makes up for that extra dollar per picket. I just have to trim the edges of the back panels on back wall "B" to get them to assemble correctly. Also, they take the screws better than the 5/8 soft boards.
The planters look really nice. However, being on the tall side, I would be afraid that with a potted plant in them it would be top heavy and might fall over. Additionally, the planter sitting in water would damage the bottom. So, my suggestion is to perhaps build a footed platform in the bottom, which would raise the planter and add some needed weight to it. Maybe use 2×4 for the footed platform and maybe put a small patio stone or a brick or 2.
Just my 3 cents....
Thank you for putting the plans in your description and making your videos! You do a great job. And love Dex to! I can’t wait to start my project!
Just wanted to say you are doing a fantastic job 👊💥
Thanks John!
I can build anything but I seriously lack in design. I don't have time to make prototypes so I greatly appreciate these vids and tips, saves me the time of trying to make something look good.
I did all my cuts per the plans purchased, love the way you set up the pdf. I assembled all my boxes, one out one in style. Went to stack them and boxes D and E are too large to be cohesive, the overhang on the sides doesnt allow the trim to be added. The first planter I used critical thinkkng and leveled the vertical edge sticking out, then removed some of backing from the wider Leg so it would fit. It works for now but the rest of the board is over hung, so will be facing away from the street and not visible to most. I will to experiement with shorten measurements for D and E.
The 2nd planter i will try this on, hopefully get it all even out. I am also going to add a shelf so pots will sit instead of hang for dear life by their plastic edging. Dont need a traumatized plant 😂
Great news to share, I took apart the D and E boxes, picked 2 pieces and started trimming small amounts off keeping that wonderful 3 degree off 90.
Successfully got rid of the jut out.
I kept the 1st tower as is and decided to add stain to specific areas to create illusion of evenness.
Excited to continue forward now.
If you don't experience challenges in life, then you can't grow.
Peace and Love and Light
I did these and they turned out great at first. Don’t use box store pressure treated fence pickets until they are dry. Learning experience for sure.
i love it but what do the plants sit on. how do you make a shelf for the plants?
made 2 of the short ones for the wife, working on a double-length one, and now I gotta make her a tall one? keep pumping out the designs, it's helping me build the skills. one suggestion, mention how to efficiently make the cuts. i ended up using an extra pickett on my first build guessing at the order of the cuts.
Hey! Will do! Check out cutlistoptimizer.com. Its a great resource for telling you how to lay out your cut list. And its free!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking that's awesome, thanks.
Turn this upside down and you have a pedestal for more height and show off a pot.
After a couple hours planing and sanding. Cut the boards like i was the Queen bee. Paid attention to the alternating boards. Rocked it. Then stacked the boxes like a rock star. Needless to say when they didn't stack tapering that 3 degrees off should have been on the bottom of my mitre, not the top. So laughing at myself right now. Will try it again next week. In the intrim, i have some cute planter boxes.
Love the videos and ideas. Pinterest is addicting. Lol. I send you a planter I did with laser engraving from one of you latest videos and a hall mirror with Vancouver island and live edge. To bad we can't post pictures on TH-cam. Cheers
Steve
My local lowes and home depot only carry pressure treated fence pickets and neither had cedar when I went today. Gonna keep looking around
Nice build. Love your channel. Dex looks like he want to play.
Another nice project and video. Well done as usual. 👍
Thanks Philip!
Great job.... so awesome!!!
Really nice build, can’t wait to make my first one of these! Also those little bloopers at the end were hilarious!
Lol thanks! Yeaaaa I have more bloopers than regular footage.
Not gonna lie, I just watched this again from the beginning. Picked up 5 pickets. 2.30 in my area at home Depot. I'll check Lowe's for the next one. Can't wait to get home tonight and dive in. May plane them to skip the sanding. I hate sanding...haha
I appreciate All these ideas I keep getting from you and few others. I don't see how my woodworking could fail. I've got 1son to set up our Etsy store, and our other online store. My wife who spends more time on Facebook than I ever have and is more familiar with it than I am, can run the Facebook store. Those plans would require a family effort. I think I'll have to start smaller.
Another great video. Thank you very much.
Thanks Joe!
Solid idea of creating the TH-cam video and then offering the plans on Etsy. Unfortunately, you really need to revise your costs because today its only gotten worse. Wishing you the best.
I'm overwhelmed with slats (literally 100's) from breaking down all the pallets I accumulated. Going to use them for all your plans. Thx
Yes! That will work! Use what you have and will cut the overhead down!
I love your ideas and build plans. Great job! Keep on doing it.
Your out takes are funny 😆!
So the plant pots just sits squeezed in the planter, we don't need to add a little ledge inside for the pot to sit on. Good to know. Great video tutorial, thank you.
Your doing a fantastic job, please keep it up.
Thank You!
I’ve been using that exact pencil for all my woodworking for over 15 years, it makes a really precise line for precision work. I started using them when I did siding and making door and window wraps because they had to fit together perfectly or they would look like crap. That’s the only pencil I use. Carpenter pencils are for people that don’t need anything precise. Can’t stand to use them. Great video.
Agreed! I love these things. Carpenters pencils just dont get that fine line that you need for most builds. Thanks for watching!
What is the name of the pencil that u use? And where do i b find it?
Someone on some platform, (maybe a FB group) suggested using half laps for the top trim so that the gaps from shrinking weren't as noticeable. I've been wondering about that. Would be an extra 10-15 minutes depending on how quickly it can be set up. I just don't remember if they meant staying with the 45s or using butt joints.
@Matthew Peech, You always rock it!! Excellent vid as always. Thank you 😊🙏
What do used to fill the inside of the planter?, So that the plant doesn’t fall all the way down.
Mathew - joooda joooda joo da man ! Great video . Ps - I really dig the background music in your vids .
A great build and video...keep them coming...enjoy your projects and info !!
