 Two hours three tools and four boards. We just made the easiest Standing planter ever and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back deal it to do it bill to make it so do we and we have a new video each week at this week We've been missing my god Brad and pocket saw they've taken a hiatus. I mean it's it's been a minute now I don't think we've seen them since like Christmas They're they're slacking so we're pulling them out of retirement putting them back to work and put them back to work And what are we building today Kim? Well, I've been wanting to add some colors of flowers It's springtime, so I want to add some new pop to my back porch my tiny tiny back porch It's really small tiny. Yes, and this this little planter is going to be super easy It's a project that anyone can build So if you got your own pocket saw or your own little Brad nailer for Christmas This is the perfect first project if you haven't had a chance to make one yet keeping it real easy Yes, the easiest The easiest to the coolest At the same time and so this thing is perfect for a small space You can put it put it anywhere I think it'll go in a front porch back porch add some flowers You don't have to it could just go in the yard It could just go in the yard Alleyway, that's gonna say you don't have to attach it to a handrail because it's gonna be a standing planter box Stand alone so doing his own thing. Well, let's get it started Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies. We really just needed a two one by eight At six foot two one by fours at eight foot Some nails like some bright nails some glue something to measure with we're gonna paint them using our country sheet Hey, so then we're gonna add some handles on the side of our boxes We can carry around and that's it. I told you it's gonna be super simple This is gonna be quick and easy and simple. That is it. Oh, and I guess easy and simple the same thing Step two, we're gonna make all of our cuts. We're just gonna take the one by eight and we're gonna make 336 inch pieces not a true 36 inch. We got 72 inch boards. They're not a true 72 inches We're just gonna split the difference and then four legs out of the one by fours at 40 inches And then we'll measure the pieces that go on the end here in a minute. They're about six and a half Six and a half ish. That's my plan. Yeah, you should go ahead and make all of our cuts with the pocket saw Nobody saw that coming We'll make it all the way through It's a one by eight. I don't think it has to do a flip Safety first So they get the actual measurement for the ends We're gonna kind of put it together and I'm just gonna make a mark Assemble the box. We're gonna glue it and hit it with a one and a quarter inch bread. No, not the guy Throw some glue down the side. Yep Steady hands. You know this thing together. We're gonna spend more time decorating it than we are putting it together Step up and now we're gonna paint and stain stain and then paint actually Yes, so I'm gonna stain the box first and give that a little bit to dry And then I'm gonna add a top coat and distress I'm gonna put the vanilla frosting over it and distress it just the box or the legs to it No, I think I'm gonna leave the legs just stained And then I'm gonna paint the box way Oh You with me you feel it I'm feeling it. I feel it Vanilla frosting. Oh vanilla frosting using our country chic paints. It's like a grayish white We are putting these in our store. You should see them any day now. They're in the store. They're there now They're there now. Well, you can go get yours in our store K&G make it calm just a light stroke So I can easily distress Step we're gonna add a little distressing. So our paint technique is kind of distressed if you can see that So sloppy, yep So we're just really gonna get the edges I think I want to keep the center with as much paint as possible. So the stencil will pop So I'm really just focusing on the outside edges and we're gonna use our Little battery-powered Ryobi sander here Looking. Oh, yes with that electric sander. It just needed a quick touch and went straight down to the wood little kiss Let's open a new project and we'll type in our saying I'm not gonna tell anybody what it is yet. You'll have to guess or read I guess We're gonna use apple butter font because that's like ray done. We're gonna make it 24 inches wide Four inches tall now. This won't fit on a mat. So we're gonna slice it. So let's draw a box Then we're gonna select both the type and the box and we're gonna slice it We're gonna delete the box and then delete one of the I like big buds And make sure it looks good on our mat and ago Podge down the stencil and get ready to paint. We're using some matte Mod Podge just to kind of create a little barrier So you don't get as much bleed. I'm not guaranteeing. No bleed. No bleed. I'm going. No bleed. I'm saying less bleed Just stress that's all Hey, I think it will look fine. Actually, let me do this I think that'll land underneath the It does it'll be good I don't know. It's kind of cool and no, it's good though. It'll work. It's like the other vinyl used I'll stick to that Not permanent vinyl. All right, we'll turn it around so we can see. All right. What do you guys think? Can you see it? You like that crack on this? It was intentional and by intentional. I mean, we didn't mean to pull up off paint Now we're gonna give it some handles These are five and three-quarter inch handles, so they're kind of beefy beefy So I can carry this thing around. Yeah, we're gonna do a lot. Yeah, we're gonna do a lot of toting around with it All right, you ready? Yeah, all about town. This is our all about town planter tote All right, so next Step a seven and now we're gonna attach the legs We're gonna give them a pilot hole and attach them with a one and a quarter inch screw. Yep So I'm going to put four screws I'm gonna attach these legs to the side of the planter and I'm gonna measure an inch down from the top Three-quarters of an inch in from the side Just gonna drill a little pilot hole. We're gonna do two boards at one time. I'm thinking they should come in and be about like that So what is that? Using an inch and a quarter screw. Yes. Do you think it needs a little brace? I'm thinking it's gonna get real Think it might need a brace Maybe it was two feet tall and you made it four foot tall Maybe you just saw a foot off the bottom. Yeah, it needs a foot off of it Come on in. Come on in. Okay. Let me get in here and explain what happened So I drew this up and I have some great plans, but then when When I wrote the dimensions down I added an additional eight inches So the legs are supposed to be 24 inches from the bottom of the box To the the ground 24 inches and then we were going to add an additional eight on For the box so that they could be attached on the sides like they are so that puts it at 32 But then what I did was say 32 plus eight inches when I cut them at 40 So we need to take eight inches off my legs are too long And it was to tell me really set it down and I started to realize it was totally taller than I had Drawn out. So now we're gonna fix it No, I can't lie. I like this thing Yes, it's the perfect planter for this space here exactly what I wanted and it was super easy to make Anyone can make it you can use those new Christmas tools to make this planter and the great thing about it with this liner I can swap out my flowers for herbs for later in the season and I can't wait to use it It'll be it's already adding fragrance to our porch And we want to say thank you to our top patrons.
