 We just made this alfine porch planter, and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up welcome back? Who's ready for spring? Who's ready for a spring front porch leaner kit? We are and we're gonna be joined by our friends Brad and pocket saw today because not only are we making it a vertical leaner kit We're gonna make it a vertical front porch planter kit So we're gonna be building that planter gotta have somewhere to put those spring daisies and I made this design myself From a request from a patron but Garrett got his hands on it and juiced it up a little Step one, we're gonna gather all of our supplies. We needed a 1 by 12 that was 8 foot long We need some quarter inch MDF. This is gonna be all of our little accent pieces We're gonna need our wood glue to assemble our planter and then of course some paints and we'll be using our foxy hues paints This is our indoor outdoor paint this outdoor paint has all of those weather resistant properties So it's gonna be perfect to paint your planter as well as the kit That's gonna go on the planter with our little owls on it for tools We're using a 7-inch miter saw a Brad nailer and our a on nilva 14 Step 2 we're gonna make all of our cuts. We're gonna start with making our planter cuts We're gonna cut two pieces at 9 and 3 quarter inches Those are gonna be our sides that we're gonna cut two pieces at 11 and a quarter inches That's gonna be our front piece and our bottom and the rest of it is gonna be the vertical backer It's okay I'll take it out to the big brother. We'll get it done. It's okay pocket take a break Make the top pieces we're gonna take this large sheet of quarter-inch MDF Over to the an Nova 14 and cut out all of our accents with the Nova 14 and the large bed sides We can cut the full kit on one sheet of MDF at one time now We will offer the SVG in Smaller sections so that you can cut it on your desktop laser and assemble it onto the full backer But with the large laser we can do it all in one large cut Here we are in adobe illustrator. This is the file. I created for Garrett. This is our little leaner or porch planter and She gave it to me to make a cut file. So first I jujged it up just a little bit Yeah, somehow once I handed it to him it turned out looking like this. I was just a gave it a little interest And I took this and I pulled it apart to make a cut file and now we're gonna import this file into light burn import my SVG I'm gonna hold shift and throw it on its side Now all of my red lines are for cutting and all of my blue lines are used for scoring And this is to place some of the other things like the owl's eyes and put the leaves back in I'm gonna add some Frames and tabs to this so that I can remove it from the laser a little bit better And then we'll send this over to our a on Nova 14 to cut out and because we're using the Nova 14 We're able to cut this in one sheet and we don't have to separate this into smaller pieces So I'm excited to see how this looks as a one-piece design Our foxy hues paints again. This is an outdoor paint. So it does have that UV resistant weather resistant mildew resistant properties We're gonna be using this foam roller if you're not on this foam roller live get on it because it saves tons of time this Oh With these pouches are so easy to pour down right onto your Board here because this board is untreated. You do want to paint it with outdoor house paint So it is sealed and we're gonna paint it on the front back Sides top and bottom. We're gonna make sure every part of this board is covered with this exterior paint Look how quick boom. We're halfway done Wait Now it's time to paint all over a little top pieces or the accents have them all in a little frame with tabs We'll start with that. We'll start with the tree and the letters All right, and these are gonna take several different colors of paint because this one's gonna be really colorful so we're gonna start with our tree is gonna be in great escape green and Moles meadow, so that's gonna be our light and dark green. We're gonna use our three shades of pink We're gonna use fantastic fuchsia Bunses berry blast and possum pink. These are three shades of pink That's for the different owls and some of our words and then for the blues We're gonna use this double-cross denim and then I've probably a darker one Over here. I'm gonna grab this cunning cobalt. I think we need a dark blue and a light blue and Then of course, we're gonna do our tree in this. Are we gonna use this light gray quicksand quartz? Yeah, and it's I think the tree would look good As long as it's got a nice contrast I might have to play that one by air Let me get this out of the way So I can help you keep popping pieces out Now the great things about a great thing about tabs When you're using such a large laser like the Nova 14 You're gonna have a lot of pieces and you're gonna be pushing a board through the laser in this case This was all this all fit on the in the bed But we can pick it up in one piece. We didn't have to pick up all the little pieces by using the tabs Now the trick with tabs is to make sure that you have the right Setting so that the tab just holds on by a tiny little bit In this case, we're just popping it out of its little frame Garrett kind of circled everything in a frame So that we could lift it all out at one time where you can make it yourself or the digital file in our store at KNG Make it comm or you can join us over on patreon where you get access to all of our files and a whole community of Like-minded laser crafters like yourself and we love our patrons time to assemble. We're gonna start by building our little planter box We have our two nine and three quarters and our two eleven and a quarter We're gonna use one of the eleven and the quarters as the front and these two little guys as our sides We're gonna run some glue down them and then hit them with a one and a quarter inch Brad The nail not the guy These nine and three quarters are your sides And this one's gonna be your front that's the bottom Attach it to the back. Yeah, so let me show you show them the little lip So there is still a little lip see this little lip here. Yeah, that is gonna go face down And tuck right into the backer. So it's sitting on the bottom perfect Coming out here Very plantarisk Now you can fill each of these little nail holes with a little wood putty touch it up You don't see a bit and then touch it up with a little paint. Super simple. I don't think anybody Right, I don't think we're gonna do that right now, but we can go ahead and put the kid on right now Yeah, now we're gonna start to lay out our kit make sure it's gonna go where it's gonna go This is a big kit, so you're definitely gonna want to dry fit or lay this thing out first So we make sure we've got all the pieces in the right spots Everything's laid out well not everything the pieces that are gonna go on the planter now that they're all laid out We're gonna glue them down with some wood glue and then hit them with a little tiny Five-eighths inch brad the nail not the guy just to make sure it sticks to the planter, right? We just want to make sure it stays over time Oh going in with the big guy first, huh? Well, I think it's best Just get it out of the way. Let's stand her up and see what she looks like I'm gonna show you with a little flower. I think it needs a little something in the front What do you think maybe a monogram?
