Nice job Brian, great idea for cedar. I have a small supply of it and am going to try a couple planters for the wife. With all the miters and bevels, do you happen to remember that website? Thank you.

There are lots of math websites that do the same thing but they’re usually overly complicated. This site is perfect for carpenters & woodworkers. Good luck! Make a prototype! :-)

The thing about cedar planter boxes is that you don’t need perfect material. It always takes on a beautiful grey patina and the boxes last for years. AND – if you keep your eyes open, you can get reclaimed fencing, swingsets, etc for free because people are always throwing it out. The bolt & screw holes don’t matter for planter boxes.

I think cedar is out of fashion for fences and other backyard contraptions. Partly because the price is high today, I’m sure. But also because people think vinyl or whatever is an upgrade over natural wood. I respectfully disagree with that.
