Just a Notice The tool lists will apply to all plant stand plans; now you will find some of the sentences will have been repeated. The only change is the size of board cuts based on the planter box. When it comes to making projects with wood the basic steps to make that box are the same.Please read all safety instructions when using power tools. Using a chop saw can be dangerous if you do not take the time to read the owners manual. Chop Saw Setup for Double Beveled Cutting You will need to use a chop saw to make these cuts at a double beveled 5 degree angle. It is not as hard as it sounds once you get a feel for it. As seen in the picture below, set your shop saw at 5 degrees to the right and lock it in place; this is the first step.As shown in the pictures below, set your shop saw at 5 degrees beveled; this is the second step. Once done, leave your saw at these angles then make your cuts for - four of the 2 x 2 x 24 leg supports.
The bevel lock is located on the back of most chop saws; the bevel numbers are on the side as well. Check your saw to see where the adjustments are located.
Place your 2x2 and make the first cut; after making the first cut leave the 2x2 leg in place and mark it with a black marker as seen in the picture below. You will need to mark all four of the leg supports like this.All four of the little black dots will face to the inside of the 2x2 leg; this means that this part of the leg will be on the inside of the stand as seen in the picture below. There will be more details within each planter support plan.In my shop I have a straight rail next to my chop saw with a fence; the rail is on the left side. By having the fence and rail on it you can use a stop block; using this stop block means that all of your cuts will be the same.Once the first cut is made slide the board down to your stop block as seen in the picture above. Do not flip or turn the board at all; if you do flip or turn the board the cut will be wrong and you will have problems putting the stand together.
1x4 and 1x2 Chop Saw Setup Set your chop saw at 5 degrees only with no bevel as seen in the two pictures below. You will need to leave the shop saw at this setting.As you can see in the picture below, the shop saw is set at zero bevel.
Optional - Double Sided Cedar Planting Boxes This planter box will fit the planter stand that is mentioned in chapters 1, 2 and 4 just follow the directions below. In , there are some notes for making this side planting box, read them before starting.You can add these two smaller planting boxes for maximum plant growth. Both side planters measure at 24 inches long and are about 6 inches wide at the top. I do recommend adding planters on both sides; if you have any small children around they might be able to pull on it if there is only one side planter added. This is the only plant stand that I recommend adding both side planting boxes to in chapter 4 of this book.The material cuts listed below are for two of the side planter boxes. Wood Needed Two 1x6x 8 foot long cedar or pine, this is your choice.One 1x4x8 foot long cedar pine, this is your choice. Board Cuts You will need two boards that are 1x 6 x 23 long which will be the back of the planter.You will need two boards that are 1x 4x 23 long for the bottom.You will need two boards that are 1x 4x 24 3/4 long to secure the planters to the stand.You will need two boards that are 1x 6x 24 3/8 long for the front.You will need four boards that are 1x6x 4 5/8 long for the ends.
Step 1:Take one of each of the 1x6x23 and 1x4x23 inch long pieces. Drill three 3/8 or holes in the 1x4x23 inch long piece as seen on the left board in the picture below.Step 2:Take the 1x6x4 5/8 and cut at a 5 degree angle; also predrill the hole for the 1 5/8 screws as shown in the picture below.
Step 3:Now take the two end pieces and attach them to the 1x4x23 bottom. Make sure to flush the front side with the square cut side as seen in the picture below.Next page
