Agreed.

To get glue all the way through a crack like that, just pool the glue on the surface and use a shop vac to pull it through from the underside. You can get glue through the tightest of gaps in just a few seconds that way without needing to open them up first.

I was thinking more in terms of blowing with an airline. I also have a set of disassembled feeler gauges in my toolbox that I use for this - the 6 thou gauge is stiff enough to push glue into a crack providing you open the crack a wee bit. BTW I mainly use the feeler gauges to adjust tool height on a metal lathe as we don't have a British tool post (with the screw height adjustment).

@@richbuilds_com I expect Bill Gates started out the same way.

We had no idea back then that Bill Gates and Microsoft would go on to be bigger than the monolithic IBM. Looking at Bill's Wikipedia page now, it seems that he had the foresight back then to make good business decisions. I don't think it is mentioned on the Wikipedia page, but I remember relations between Bill and IBM being extremely strained.

Better way is to build in a vaccum relief. Poor man's version is a hole in a coupling. Need full vaccum - tape over the hole. Need partial vacuum - tape over part of the hole.

if you get pipe clamps and have say multiple 6 foot long pipe segments, you can use a threaded coupler to put two lengths of pipe together and then attach the clamps to the ends of the double long pipe. I've only needed it once so far but its nice to have the option without having to buy dedicated extra long clamps which would be even worse to store, not to mention the cost. The coupler costs a buck or two at the hardware store.

Thanks Frank. I enjoy all of your videos but this one stands out. The people who own restaurants have had an incredibly devastating time with this virus. You helped make a difference for them. That has to feel good. I am sure they appreciated your help. I also think those are the strongest planter boxes on earth. :)

I'd guess that the long pieces are plenty strong enough given they are connected together and on their edge - plenty of strength even with soil and plants inside the boxes.

What a great project and a great investment by the restaurant owners. This space would not only help in re-opening whilst restrictions are in place, but as a permanent addition. It's an excellent example to other business owners as to how to take the best advantage of any situation.

Great project Frank! Turned out great and really makes a big impact at their restaurant. Thanks for taking us along!

Let your friends know they should put some mulch on top of the dirt. If the wind ever picks up while people are eating the topsoil has a tendency to blow around. It's always a good idea for when it rains, this way it won't splash mud everywhere. We had something like that in one of the kitchen I worked for, I put mulch down because people were complaining.

I forgot how relaxing these videos are. This channel helped me get more seriously into woodworking.

Impressive as always - when I saw what was going to be used to make the cross pieces to support the base I figured they would be underneath to act as feet - and due to the mitre they might not have not been seen so it could have lead to the illusion of floating planter boxes - corner feet are great too!

A whole new level of planter box, excellent craftsmanship.

I drove by them last week! They look incredible! Great job.

Thanks Calvin!

Very nice results, I'm sure the restaurant patrons will admire these for years. Great to see Calvin 10 years apart in one video. I follow many makers on YT, but see so few with kids in the shop. I know it's been a challenge engaging my own son in shop work, but have found that projects he has a vested interest in seem to be key. Just thinking of how we can best pass along our knowledge.

Great video as always. It's weird to see people without masks. Glad to see stuff opening and hope you and the family are staying safe!

Very nice. I would not put gravel on the bottom. Because the boxes are designed to drain and not have standing water at the bottom adding gravel simple impedes the flow of water by forcing it to drain around the stone rather then through the soil.

Those look great, Frank.

1:21 I used to fix cracks the same way (levering it open and pushing glue down in). Somewhere along the way, I ran across a manual for a very old tool that recommended putting glue on the top of the crack and using a shop vac to pull the glue into the opening. I've only done this once since learning this trick, but holy crap, it was much _much_ more effective. /me mental note about checking out Oak and Olive before I move to Hillsboro.

I love the cedar smell , I work primarily with cedar . Lol and I am planning on making a bunch of planter boxes .

Looks wonderful! 👏👏

The project came together well and looks great. Nice job!

I love your videos! So relaxing to watch.

Beautiful work.

Lovely boxes. I learned the hard way that in my climate, it’s tough to keep the drainage open. If it doesn’t plug with sediment, a tough, leathery fungus grows, choking the holes. Hope you have better luck!

Oak and Olive should look into Sun Setter or a local company near them to install a big sun shade or several smaller ones. They can have their name on each one. The awning/shade curtain can be always extended or can be set on a timer for during business hours. Loved the video and stay safe.

Works well? Frank, That came out awesome! as the trees mature with good trimming will be awesome. Hopefully Portland will let your friend keep the outdoor seating long term. With an awning it would work well for Portland most the year.

Frank, Another nice project and piece of work! CALVIN has really grown a lot this past year. Comparing this to the basement wall, he’s like a bamboo shoot that forgot to stop growing - haha.

Very impressive, I will do something similar but I will use plastic planter boxes inside the cedar box. This way I will not have a bottom in the cedar box and the wood will not be in contact with the dirt. I'd like to be able to make it as good as you but you are much better than I ever be.

mid-span feet. Just going to throw that out there.... But I love the reveal you put on the feet, made them very classy

I pass by there on my way to the library. That'll be kinda fun seeing some 'original Howarth pieces' out there. Dumb fun, but fun nonetheless.

When you want to apply glue inside cracks in wood. Use a shopvac underneath the crack to suck the glue deep in de crack and preferably out of the underside.

I had no idea you were in Portland Oregon. Strange to think of you as so local now. The projects that have popped up recently with Covid are interesting.
