Building A Simple Planter Box For Herbs

how's it going everybody welcome to the shop it is Sunday afternoon in Texas and it is really freaking hot it's what 95 right now in here so I got a really quick video I want to shoot I don't want to be here too long because I'm already sweating I've been here for two minutes but real quick I wanted to explain why I had this on my hand I actually cut my hand really bad this week on this machine right here the green machine is 4s molder I was changing the knives out on the cutter heads and I was super frustrated with the with the machine it was giving me a really difficult time and as I was pulling the knives off I was tugging on it slipped out of my hand and sliced my hand open and actually got 11 stitches on the palm of my hand I if you go to my Instagram you can actually see a time out this video but may get the stitches which is kind of gross but also kind of cool so if you want to go check that out you can but it's just a lesson learned to myself and to you guys that if you are in a shop and you're stressed out or frustrated just take a break and get away from what you're doing because you're going to get hurt when you have a hothead and that's exactly what happened to me and this is really the first major injury not really major it's a small cut but first injury I've had since I've been in this shop so I wanted to share that with you guys I've got a really cool video planned out so let's get started and I'm going to get out of the seat [Music] everybody so it's been a few days since I've made the planter boxes I'm here on my back patios we're actually put them in real quick I wanted to kind of point out and show some issues that I have and I wish I would have caught this when I was naked I really should have there really look great here they are there's not really any huge problems with them other than the bottoms have swelled obviously because of the moisture from water in the plants and just the general moisture in the air and you can see on each one of these how the bottom is actually pushed out the sides it's getting a little dark so it's kind of hard to see slide in the day here in Texas but you can see here there's a little gap just kind of push that it's really not a huge deal but it just shows you how how strong wood movement is you know it's the movement of the wood is going to break the piece of power if it's not designed properly in this case that's what happened now what I would change on that is I would actually put a sucker in the middle of these bottoms just like that so now you wouldn't move it can happen you permanently attach it nail it and glue it to your sides and then your wood movement is right in the middle and another thing that allows us to do is it allows water to drain out of these because I didn't put any holes in there for the water to drain which was also not very wising me but I wanted to point that out to you guys so you know if you ever want to build these that's something that you need to take into account I appreciate you guys tuning in as always thanks for the support I'll see you guys next time
