I appreciate that Trina. Thanks a lot for your comment!

Always enjoy the videos. I like to lay out my top trim upside down and glue the corners and put about 3 staples in each corner. Makes it very easy to attach it to the planter all in one piece.

@BradyHommel

Damn! That is a phenomenal way to do it. Honestly getting the trim centered is the hardest part of this planter haha. This tip solves that with ease! I will be moving forward using your technique. So simple yet easily overlooked. Thanks so much for sharing that.

Hey brother great videos! I'm curious though about the moisture content of the pickets. In my area you can not find dry pickets at all. They are usually sitting outside in the garden center SOAKING wet. Are you buying them dry or letting them dry indoors first? Being as wet as they come, I think they would warp pretty bad.

It is crazy how different prices are. $5.79 for that picket in Alaska. Still a reasonable build. I just get jealous when I see that. lol

Ай бұрын

Awesome. Glad to hear that thank you for the comment! I always had the best luck on Facebook marketplace honestly. That is where I sold the majority of my planters and custom furniture. Then once you sell some word of mouth starts to work and people reach out to you saying "so and so told me about you"

One of my side hustles is selling plants. I propagate them, grow them to a high value size and pot them. Then I have a couple big plant sales every spring. It would be a perfect opportunity to sell some planters to increase my profits. One thing I would do that you don't is make them from cedar pickets instead of pressure treated. Cedar fence pickets cost about $4.50 each if I buy a pallet of 560. Anything made of cedar sells for 25% more than the same item made of PT.

@BradyHommel

Someone from my hometown actually opened up a store front doing what your doing! Yes Cedar is a great way to make a more quality planter definitely! The last one I made I was trying to find cedar pickets and after 2 lowes trips and a home depot trip I could only find PT. I was surprised. Also would not have to stain with cedar as it is beautiful as is.

@dropndeal

Ай бұрын

The cedar pickets from Lowe’s are typically warped, checked, and cupped. The Lowe’s here in coastal Alabama store them out in the garden area, whereas HD stores them inside with other lumber. I haven’t found where the cedar outsells PT planters, but it’s still a good strategy to offer them side by side.

@zone4garlicfarm

Ай бұрын

@@dropndeal Around here cedar is the most popular wood for most outdoor furniture from adirondack chairs to picnic tables. Also for trellises, window box planters and some styles of fences. I haven't looked closely at free standing planters to know if it's true for them. What I do know is people who prefer cedar will pay a premium for it.

@dropndeal

Ай бұрын

@@zone4garlicfarm Aside from a couple of heavy PT timber benches, I haven’t ventured into outdoor furniture, but agree cedar is favorable and offers timeless beauty. I also make window boxes and a variety of planters. Some are sold through consignment with local markets with a lot of pass-through traffic. I’ve experienced about 50/50 sales on PT vs Cedar and the occasional cypress (plenty of that in the Mobile delta region). In those cases, I’ll only offer one or the other so as not to compete with myself, plus inventory is simpler.

The key is to use creativity. Take what you see and put an added touch on it to stand out from the rest. It could be as simple as just the way you finish it.

I swear you could not be more complicated . Your instructions are so all over the place. Maybe slow down and explain it slowly and not so all over the damn place . This is supposed to be for beginners? It’s obvious you do woodworking for a living . Maybe consider slowing down and try to remember that not everyone does this and , yes if I made a bunch of these especially the 2 nd one I would be able to slap them together easy as well but I gave up trying to follow you and write down notes. So annoying I didn’t even watch the assembly of second video much less the last 2.
