I couldnt believe it, a planter box created from only 3 fence pickets? Costing only $3 each, these planter boxes have a low production cost of around $10! You can see all over facebook marketplace where people are selling them for $60-$80, but I found mine to sell the best when priced at $30. And many people bought this size box as an add-on. A lot of people either wanted custom boxes. Which, I qouted a selling cost of $10 per $3 fence picket I used.
We have planted many different varieties in these boxes and they are doing great. I do not use a liner; cedar is naturally weather sealed and will not rot, warp, decay or mold. I also did not seal the boxes with any sort of clear coat or paint. Overtime, cedar will turn from its pretty redish brown to grey when exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time.
These are a great foot-in-the-door project for anybody who is looking to begin selling their woodworking projects, or simply taking their woodworking hobby to the next level. Before these planter boxes, I only made furniture and built things for myself, and family (where I only charged them for the materials). These boxes not only helped me to make my first dollar by woodworking, but when posting this video, I have made $1208 profit; and yes, thats factoring in my total materials cost, from buyers in a small town of 3000 people.
Two tips not mentioned in the video:
1) do not take large orders or custom orders without obtaining a deposit. Luckily I had only one person order a taller 25x16x16 box and stop responding to me, his name is Ron Whitaker... Unfortunately I did not take deposits or payment in advance, but these are also not expensive to build.
2) you can use treated boards, cedar is less than a dollar more and better for the plants, unless you use a liner and are going to paint the exterior.
Thanks again for watching, and please please please like this video so it can be suggested to other cool cats like yourselves. Bye for now!!

How long do you let the pickets dryout before using...
Big props for tracking even the number of nails used. I'm so tired of "$6 planter boxes OMG!!" but then they use $10 in pocket screws alone, and also you have to buy the plans.

Well you don't have to buy the plans... I did some with pocket screws and it was $2.94 for the screws minus the $.40 cents for nails and it's only $2.50 a build and some designs are just stronger with pocket screws ya it adds a little more time and of course time is money but to each is their own
Thank you for the video and I really like your presentation style. Clear, concise and without all the unnecessary fluff. Thanks also for the free plans. I don't have cedar fence pickets in my area (South Florida). So, I'll have to make mine with pressure treated fence pickets or pallet wood. Keep the how-to videos coming.

Thanks, I screwed up the first one and found success with the next two. Now here's the best part of the story I only had 9 pickits as this is my first time, I finished the two succfull at about 1:30 this afternoon and put them in the front yard with a 30.00 sign on them at about 3:45 as I cutting the lawn a lady pulls up and bought both of them and wants 2 more for her cottage. I got the pickets on sale for 1.75 each so 21.00 invested and sold for 120.00, I an still in disbelief. Thank you very much!!!!

My experience has been that if you are pushing a narrow piece through the blade you are actually putting pressure against the fence. If you finger slips it will move towards the fence, not the blade. I do use a push stick for short pieces that are not long enough to reach the riving knife before the cut is complete. Still have all my fingers after 30 years of woodworking and carpentry.

I use scraps like the dog ears to stable a small shelf to the bottom of the box, then the floor sits on those. This avoids nailing into the endgrain anywhere and the floor nails are all on the inside.

As an update I finally made my first planter box!! I made a small mistake and ended up putting the bottom on the top and had to pull out the brad nails. 😅I got a bit rushed, but I hid the damage on the outside from me having to drill some shallow holes to remove the brad nails by adding trim on the outside facings. It still looks beautiful regardless! I'm getting lots of friends asking for one now lmao. Thanks for the awesome video I could follow and the cutting plan included!

I made one of these yesterday. It worked out great. When I put it on the driveway to show my wife, my neighbor yelled from across the street "Are you taking orders?". So that is encouraging, should I decide to sell them. Also, I added 3/4"x1" cleats to the inside of one of the sides to support the bottom panels which fit loosely. Thanks again for the video.

A word of caution - watching at around 3.10, you use your right hand to push the board through. Do NOT do this! Get into the habit of using a push stick. If you don't then you can almost guarantee that one day the blade and your hand will meet. When that happens, it does not end well for your hand. I speak from experience !
