This Week From Chief’s Shop #woodworking #chiefsshop


Here’s a wrap-up of posts from Chief’s Shop for the week of Feb. 16-20:

The Chief’s Shop Decorative Raised Planter can be used as a vegetable or flower planter. The decorative diamond shapes are optional, but do add a nice touch. Assembly requires a Kreg Pocket Hole Jig.

Lumber required includes one 2×2, one 4×4, and several 2x6s. You’ll need roughly 11 cubic feet of soil to fill it. Overall dimensions: 52 inches wide x 52 inches deep x 12 1/2 inches high

You’ll need a miter saw, drill driver, and Kreg Jig to build it.
