Top tip: I’ve found that 1” pocket hole screws work just as well for this project as 1 1/4” screws but you never get the issue of the wood splitting.

I like the color contrast of the 7 degree planter. When cutting the top trim you can just roll ( not flip end for end) the piece over and it will cut the correct angle. It also minimizes the scrap left over. I cut a small center piece to eliminate the gaps in the panels., or run the center boards horizontally although that might use a little more wood.

Great video and project, I can't wait to try it! On the question at the end about compound miters for the top, my own preference is to not have one, and just do a regular miter, no bevel. The bevel is better for drainage of weather off that flat top profile, but since these will be sitting next to chairs in our patio, I'd rather have it flat for setting drinks, etc., on it. Also, I prefer it sticking out over the edge, for a wider surface. Since it's not fully contacting the top of the planter, whose sides are leaning out and therefore at a bevel in relation to it, I would just join the 4 pieces like a picture frame first, with pocket screws in the corners for stability and to make it all one unit, then attach that to the planter. Finally, I would crown the boards of the top frame, so that any rings seen in the end grain are pointing down like a smile, making any cupping later point up, the better to shed the rain rather than catching it. But hopefully it won't cup, if I seal it properly.... :)

Great video explained very well thanks

Another great video. Thanks so much. Have a very blessed day. Hilton

Great video, thanks!

WWGA ,great source for some jam packed videos!

Great video again, and clean your miter saw area

This is going to be good! Thanks Andy!

Clean your miter saw station Great clear instructions and will be my weekend project

🤣 man I gotta meet this “future Andy” you speak of , lol good video man thanks for so many details brother

If you cut a 5 degree angle on the top of your side panels your top trim should go on square with just normal miter not a compound miter If that makes sense 😊

Hey Andy how about a video on a wooden wheel barrel planter

I’ve been making Matthew Peech’s tapered planters for two seasons now and they sell great.

A written list of wood sizes would help. You are great!

Clean up your workstation. But you have an awesome video. Thank you for sharing the measurements. I can't wait to give it a first try time. Can you do a video on bigger and taller ones. Thank you.😊

Clean my miter saw station. Let me know whenever you’re done 😂

Clean your miter saw station, is the bottom of planter just open?

gotta find you some minions to clean that station

Clean your miter saw station. Actually yours looks good compared to my own. Great video. Thx.

Clean your miter saw station! I have done these at 8 degree. My biggest problem is my miter saw only tips to the left. I wasted more wood ant time trying to figure out how to do the bevels. Any suggestions from anyone?

Do you put a bottom in these planter?

What depth did you set your pocket hole bit?

*Nice Build!!! How Much are You Selling these for?*

👍👍

Can’t find the plans on Etsy

You forgot to mention that the shorter pieces ore not parallelogram

Personally I don’t think that Brad nails on the edges are the best option even with the glue. Matthew Peech goes with pocket holes which are a bit more hassle in terms of time but will likely hold up better over the seasons. That’s what I use also.

Awesome Video, Thanks Reminder for you and myself “Clean Your Miter Station”
