I started with scraps

I had wooden scraps from a palette that were kept in rectangular shape.

I started by stacking the scraps and ensuring they lined up properly

Stacked the Scraps

I used exterior Gorilla Wood Glue and the Kregg Jig to secure the rectangles together.

I then took scrap 2X4s to form the legs, again using Gorilla Wood Glue and inward screws with my Kregg Jig.

Once everything was dried and sat for 24 hours, I lined the inside with black landscape fabric to help hold in the soil and make it last longer.

And now I have a beautiful planter for Spring and Summer, and spent next to nothing!!
