It came out great thanks for your plans. I would send a picture but that’s not an option in this email
The plans were very clear - outcome was awesome, particularly if you watch the youtube video as well!
I am a beginner with woodwork. 72 years old. The plans were easy to follow and except for a couple of tries at getting the 45 degree cuts correct; I built a passable planter box. It even passed wife approval!
. I priced a planter at a store similar to your plans. They wanted 90 bucks for it. This build costs me about 30 bucks in lumber. I've paid 60 bucks toward my table saw and a couple other essential tools in my mind.
Thanks for the plans and the encouragement to try something new.
Built two boxes for my wife. Was sick with Covid, so figured what the heck! First one came out good, second one, was better. I cut alll the wood for both boxes. Got better at cutting as I got used to the saw. I'm a newbie, so trial and error and I didn't really know about "kerf" so, yeah....made one box in one day. Woke up the next day and put the second box together. I think I messed up, because my first box was square, second box was more rectangle. I think I might have started assembling the box on the wrong side? Everything went together well, but the last trim pieces on the top, miter cuts, were too short. Had to improvise and cut new ones. Live and learn. I'll probably make more sometime soon. Neighbor let me use his table saw!!!
Plans were great. It was easy to modify the measurements I needed. Thank you.
It was easy. Just a bit smaller than I anticipated. But I will make morre
I’ve seen many plans but your instructions made everything so easy. Naturally, I made a mistake or two (okay, three), but it turned out great and mistakes were easy to fix. I think I should read twice and make once. I don’t have sketchup so any modifications have to be done old fashioned way by measuring. What took you so long to get these plans out? Will you be having more available in near future? BTW, I really enjoy watching your videos. I’ve learned so much from them and talk about them to everyone.
I’m new to woodworking, and i appreciate your videos to learn from.
Thank you!
Great plans!! So easy to follow!! This guy is a flipping genius!!!
Very good plans

Plans were spot on! Easy to read and follow! Planter came out great! Being a "newbe", my only problem was how to figure in the 'kerf" when measuring and cutting! Still learning!!
Great planter box plans very detailed
Wonderful planter box! Great instructions! Thank you so much!
Great plans have also bought other plans from bear mountain always easy to follow instructions
Nice plans

Easy plan to follow for my first attempt at these. Thank you!
I will create better with number 2
It is a very easy build and low cost.
Great plans, Simple build. I build one for my Father in-law and he loves it. Once you do the first one, it is easy to do others.
Many thanks for the extremely easy to follow plans. Found the cutting lists and colour coding a clear and clever way of getting things across. Built the first one, and have completed the cutting list for the second. Regards Charlie.
I love it. Plan I accurate and easy to follow. I already made my first box and it looks good.
The plans are very detailed and the cut sheet is superb.
