Breathable Redwood Planter w/ vented panels to extract excess moisture
Redwood Planter with venting slits |
2x6 top 3x3 posts 2x3 top rail 2x4 bottom rail 4x4 feet 1x2.5 paneling |
SIKKENS matte clear coat is still drying... |
you can almost see the drip rail detail added around the bottom edge of the 2x6 |
I was going for a floating top look. I routed the same channel along the bottom edge to act as a drip rail |
I liked the corner detail left from recessing the 4x4 to fit the panels. Added some depth to an otherwise square post. Note the sweeping terminations. |
The tv is just there as an earthquake warning device. |
I used my shaper to cut the vent slots then biscuit joined the panels. |

How to "STOP chickens from pooping everywhere" gate build
this chicken proof gate I made keeps the chickens out of the backyard but still allows them to roam in and out of the cage. No more chicken poop everywhere. |
I hammer drilled ½" holes and epoxied galvanized anchor bolts into the concrete to hold the post bases |
4x4 side sections getting morticed together to hold lattice panels |
Home made lattice using ¼" thick strips of redwood. Stapled and glued. No knots. |
Gate being assembled with no fasteners just through mortices and wood glue. |
close-up of a through tongue and mortice |
bottom panel was tongue and grooved on my shaper before assembly |
This was scrap metal I found at a garage sale. I stretched it diagonally to fit the gate |
more joinery close-ups |
the day before I bought a morticing machine |
ready to glue everything up |
I round the corners of my panel to match the rabbit. this way I dont expose my mortice to the elements by squaring the rabbited channel instead + its faster and easier |
