Easy Mini Planter Tutorial

I changed the format a bit for this video. From my shop noise planter build videos I noticed some people wanted a tutorial - so in this video I show how to make a planter the easiest way I know. The great thing about this process is how easy it is to change the size of the planter. It also requires no measuring! It is also incredibly easy to trim out the sides of the planter to improve the look.
I see many people overbuilding planters, not that there's anything wrong with building a super heavy duty planter, but I don't think it's necessary. This planter does not rely on a frame structure to be built first. I assembled the planter with brad nails and waterproof exterior wood glue. The brad nails are primarily there to hold the planter together while the glue dries but the brad nails are actually strong enough to hold the planter together by themselves - because I'm relying on the sheer strength of the nails instead of pull strength. This plus the glue should keep the planter held together long enough until the wood rots and a new planter is needed.
