Perfect! Nice job. Mistakes are a part of every job, it's knowing /learning how to fix them that makes us all more skilled.

Great job on the planter box!! Don't wanna sound like Cpt. Saftey... but be mindful of the table saw blade that's "up", when you bend down and have your head/face hovering over!!! I've worked at a Cabinet Shop for several years... and you'd be amazed on how people hurt themselves!!! Just throwing it out there!!

I like your style. Only thing I would change - don’t poly the box. The beauty of cedar is the silvery finish you get when it weathers.

I thought your video was great, the box looks awesome. I wish my honey would do but it's not his thing. I'm going to give it a go this spring. I've always loved window boxes. Dill, mint and cilantro are my main herbs.

Hello , may I suggest a solution for perfectly lined up drainage holes that you could add as an update to your video. Take a drill and from underneath your window box drill up trough the drain hole into your planter for easy perfectly lined up drain holes. When building new planter boxes place the empty planters in the box and drill through the pre drilled holes in the planter into the wooden planter boxes for perfectly lined up drain holes. Happy planting, Bob Mahaney

Nice work. Same as you, I'm just beginning my woodworking hobby and wouldn't you know it? My wife also asked me for a window box.

Curious why the bottom and drainage holes alignment matters at all - not sure you need a full bottom. Couldn't you just have a few crossbars that support the internal plants rather than a solid bottom? Especially if the planter box can't be seen from below. Just a thought.

Great video. Thank you. Favorite cooking herb: Large leaf Basil. Mint is awesome too if you dry your own tea.

I’m very interested in the size of your shop. I also have a small space that I’m barely turning into a shop. It’s a 12x12. Sometimes I question if it’s going to really work out. Can you show give us tour thru you shop? I’d like to see the layout. TIA

Great Video. 'I Wish I Had Of' could be another name. Glad you didn't mind sharing your mistakes. Keep up the good work. We have centimeters in Australia but I get the idea.

I'm planning on building window boxes for next spring and I love your design. How did these ones hold up for you guys over the course of the growing season? Anything you wish you had done differently?

@makeorbreakshop 6 жыл бұрын

They actually held up well! Really the only change is just in the order of assembly, which I think I hit on towards the end of the video. The way I first built it made the bottom a little hard to put in and I forgot to drill drainage holes to start out.
