A quick and dirty project post for my raised planter box. Made from lumberyard-bought cedar, and assembled over a period of a couple of days. Finish is three coats of polyurethane (exterior grade). I think this is the first project I've ever done entirely with dimension lumber purchased new. Kinda nice. And I actually guesstimated the right material quantities! Very, very little waste.Applied tongue and groove cuts to the side boards and end boards with the Stanley No. 48. I figured that would add considerably to the strength of the long walls versus adding battens Added bevels on all leg ends and sides with the Stanley No. 72. Top frame was assembled with biscuits and glue. Three inch exterior grade screws attach it to the carcass.Finally, added a plastic 'gutter' of sorts to carry the water that does run through to the back of the box. I'll update with a pic of that later.Delivered to my sister for veggies planting this weekend, she was very pleased, thanks for looking.
