Never built one. Ran the top through the planer but still have to attach it. Will update with pics when it's complete.

That's a lot of lumber. Are you a billionaire?

No kidding.

I've found pallets are an ideal length board for frames now that only the elite can walk into a hardware store and afford anything. https://files.catbox.moe/3d1dvt.jpg

I know. Went into a hardware store looking for some 1x2s; couldn't even find any. 2x4 studs were $7.50 apiece though.

how you gonna finish it?

[ - ] OriginalGoat [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 11:51:30 ago (+0/-0)

I have leftover fence finish from last years project.

Use something good. You will be amazed at how fast wood like that rots when not properly treated.

[ - ] FalseRealityCheck 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 18:56:15 ago (+0/-0)

Are you going to treat the wood with something so it doesn't rot as quickly as it otherwise would?

[ + ] OriginalGoat

[ - ] OriginalGoat [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 20:54:25 ago (+0/-0)

Yes, i have some finish lying around

[ - ] Anus_Expander 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 15:17:00 ago (+0/-0)

Those corners are a DISGRACE. Use waterproof glue, corner clamps, and recessed screws to hold that shit together, goy.--a finish carpenter that fucked yr mum

They aren't great, I used glue and corner clamps but don't have a hand planer to fix up the mitres and I'm a retard so... Next time

Just givin you a hard time, at least you are doing something besides watchin TV or playing video games

A easy way to fix mitres like that is just run your circ saw inbetween the 2 45's. Dont forget to set the blade depth though.

Looks great. Did you follow a plan or figure it out yourself?

[ + ] OriginalGoat

[ - ] OriginalGoat [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 11:49:12 ago (+0/-0)

I just looked at a picture of one and built it from there

[ - ] beece 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 07:29:15 ago (+0/-0)

Damned nice. Looks a lot better than the ones I'd built for my wife @10 years back. Mine are still holding up fine though, so can't complain.

[ - ] mrevilpirate 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 07:08:47 ago (+0/-0)

Consider lining the inside with something? So wet soil isn’t in constant contact with the wood? My raised beds are made from untreated lumber they rot out every 5 years or so. Nice work.

Also. Not sure what you used for fasteners. Lag bolts or carriage bolts with washers and nuts are much better than screws. The screws will pull out in a couple years. I used 4x4 posts at the corners.

[ - ] Sneezy 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 08:13:56 ago (+0/-0)

I use metal fence posts to hold and support the corners. The weight of the soil is hard on the corners.

[ - ] OriginalGoat [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 11:51:03 ago (+0/-0)

I'm going to line it with garden bed liner. I'll try lag bolts on the next one, good idea.

What planer do you have?

[ + ] OriginalGoat

[ - ] OriginalGoat [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 17, 2022 09:14:47 ago (+0/-0)*

I have an old Makita jointer planer combo from the 80s, thing weighs a ton.

I had a 13" Wen that always left lots of snipe no matter how much I adjusted it. Got rid of it.

Cool. Looks good. Don't forget to shlack that bitch. Also, when you're done, you should grow some big beautiful marijuana flowers in it.

Shellac. Don't people still use that shit? Lol

[ + ] Anus_Expander

[ - ] Anus_Expander 0 points 2 yearsMay 2, 2022 17:34:39 ago (+0/-0)

I use shellac primer on a fairly regular basis, great for sealing old wood doors and trim before painting.

You should drink. Despite the regrets. aVDOIding is NOT the problem.

Dang. That is some nice work.

Too small for growing food like lambs.

Presumably for flowers?

That's great looking

Awesome; I've gotta build some stuff like that too this year.

That’s pretty sweet. What wood is that?

Very professional.

Looks great!

What's going to go in it?
