You make it look so easy! Great tutorial!

I'm impressed with your band-saw lines! Mine lines look like a 4 year old cut them out

Best woodworking Show on KZread! Great Host, great builds, awesome videos. PERIOD.

I really like how you mix up different wood types for your projects. It always makes your project look extra fantastic. Keep up the great work!

I've recently started in woodworking and this is a perfect 1st little project

Those are cool. A fun weekend project, that looks very classy.

Great, quick project David! Think I'll be adding a few of these to the to-do list. Thanks!

I liked your idea and didn't want to wait for the how to. I used maple/walnut scraps and polyurethane to seal them up the inside and out. Thanks for the inspiration.

Well done Dave, this should be a hit for a lot of woodworkers especially with mother's day next week. I can easily see a lot of guys doing this with their kids! Thanks for sharing :-)

Great project David, wonderful Mothers Day gift.

These turned out beautifully. Can't wait to make a set. (:

Great job as always!

Very nice. Real cool project. Thanks for sharing.

I need to make a planter for some succulents and remembered you had a video on it, so I figured it'd be a great place to start to get the ideas flowing. I forgot just how much your presentation style has evolved over the years. Great video, but it could use your tunes. :)

Great designs as always, thank you for sharing!

HI Dave Just shows what you can do with a few basic tools and a creative mind. Good tip on the epoxy up the sides. That makes for a nice smooth waterproof finish. This one is posted on the "to make" list. Drink on!!!

I really like these, so it looks like I'll be making a few. I see a wood turning project here as well.

Beautiful!

Already added to the list of things to make! :-) nice one.

I LOVE word work and love suculentas...

Hi, I just found your channel. I think that this project is a great idea. I can't wait to try it this weekend. Especially that I just got a band saw, I have looking for projects to do. Thanks alot!!!!

Nice work! love the choice of wood, nice contrast. On another note, a friend just gave me a Scroll Saw book, that has a bunch of patterns for making boxes, and I will be attempting to make a planter for me lady.

nice project dude - slow clap... i like how you can take something boring like a little planter, add a little twist to it (plywood edge) and make it look rad.

These are beautiful mate!!!

Great planter David, I liked them when you were getting ready for your show and going over the stuff you were going to bring...Good Stuff :-)

great idea. another well constructed video! I've been eyeballin your planters since your pre handmadeshow post.

Hey Dave, Good idea using the Jorgensen clamp to hold the work piece, I’ll remember that one.

Great looking but they need a drain hole to let the water out or the roots will rot

I love this! I saw these when you were showing what you were taking to your craft show and they caught my eye! Definitely will be on my to do list! I know that these type plants take very little water when watering. Epoxy is a pretty good sealant but not perfect.. have you had some of these in action for some time? Just curious how they hold up. Again, excellent little project. Can't imagine anyone not wanting one!!

I have some beer mugs coated with epoxy that have lasted over a year. I'm pretty sure they'll hold up fine for many years. Thanks Chris!

Really liked this project. Just a question/comment. It would be easier to drill the hole on the drill press if you drill the hole before you cut the bevels.

Really nice... I must make a couple of these. hah

Nice project i was just wondering would it be fine to use normal wood glue instead of epoxy because it also drys quite hard?

what was the last spray? why you sprayed it for? and w/o epoxy what could be used for waterproofing the wood?

Hi David. Please advise as to what you did regarding drainage of the potting soil? Fantastic idea.

@MakeSomething

+Kevin Nefdt No drainage. Cactus require very little water so there's no need to saturate the soil.

Forstner bit.

Hello greetings from Mexico. what type of saw blade you used.. Thank you

I know this is quite an old video, but I have a dumb question about wood in general as it pertains to this project. I am a newbie with a bias for hardwoods over soft. I have a good stock of well aged hardwoods from going to estate sales in rural areas. I glued up walnut and ash together for the octagonal version. I had a hard time sanding sides on my disc sander, even burning it. So I was very hesitant to try to take off the beveled bottoms via sanding. Is this because ash is super dense? Or am I the super dense one here not knowing how to disc sand? I know if I did this in pine and cedar, it would be easy as can be. Any wood recommendations for me?

Nice pots great idea. However you should ware gloves and a mask when using this sort of Epoxy it will burn your skin, and gives of toxic fumes until it is dry, so only use in a well ventilated area

David...love your channel and projects....but....you said you have a plan for this planter, but I can't seem to find it. How come?

Really Cool! Thanks for sharing this! Will any epoxy work, or is there a particular sort we should be looking for?

Does anyone know how to still make the inside watertight without paying so much for the epoxy?

what about the oxygen can the roots breathe because of the epoxy it makes no sense to spent a lot of time in building these pretty succupots and than the succus may die just a question no critical words may i say best regards from germany

I dont have any of these tools. What are some cheaper alternatives for cutting wood and pressing the hole on them?

Jigsaw and a drill with hole drilling bits, maybe. (Like a forstner bit, it doesn't need to be a drill press).

most people have a drill so you dont need a drill press. You dont need the band saw if you have a hand saw maybe or just keep the corners at 90 degree angles and round them a bit with sand paper

How do I make succulent cactus?

because when the roots sitting in water the roots may rot

You mighta used more than just epoxy soil and lacquer

A friend gave me a small planter for Christmas with plants n soil already in it. It's about 7" long by 3 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches tall. No drainage made of a cement like material. He bought it at plant shop. I barely watered it every 2 weeks as I was told. I mean barely as in 1/4 cup. But the roots went bad and plants died... Still has soil and gravel in it. So Cactus will do well in it?

Already added to the list of things to make! :-) nice one.
