Making a planter out of scrap wood

Hello. It's been a good day for getting on with jobs in the garden. The sun has been shining, with a slight breeze to cool things down. The wood has been on the table all night, waiting for me to do something with it. I seem to remember I got it from the scrap wood pile at B & Q when I worked there ten years ago. 

 First of all assemble four sides. I only had to cut the thin pieces, then screw them together.

Next make four legs. This wood came from a skip. All I had to do was to cut two pieces in half to make four.

I even had the saw out of the same skip. The man doing the house renovation said it is no good. I took it anyway because I thought I might be able to make something arty out of it. I cleaned it up, and lo and behold, it cuts better than the saw I already have.

And there we have it, one planter. I had to nail the legs to the body because I didn't have any screws long enough. I wanted legs so the wood wouldn't rot so quickly from standing on the ground.

For the bottom I attached a piece of wire mesh. It's tacked all the way around the edge with small nails, and supported buy two cross members. The mesh if you remember was bought from the £1 shop, I used some of it for an art project.

A lick of paint and it's ready.

I could have probably made it two slats deep, because it's going to be heavy once it's full. I need to find a permanent place for it. I will put a sheet of plastic on the bottom with drainage holes in it. It should last a good few years, the wood is similar to pallet wood, and my raised beds lasted six years. I might decorate the sides. At the moment it's under the summer house porch. I'm quite chuffed with it. I've just had a thought. If it had a lid on it, it could be used as a coffee table with storage.

Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.
