WOODWORKS: INTERMEDIATE PROJECT 2003-2004

PATIO PLANTER

This planter is designed to make patio or deck gardening much easier. Instead of just filling the well with dirt and putting in individual flowers or plants,

you can simply use pre-potted plants. That makes it easy to change plants as the seasons turn or unload the planter and move it to a new location.

• We designed this piece to hold pots up to 11 " dia. and 10-1/2 " high. To create the illusion of a dirt-filled planter, you can fill in around the pots

with wood chips, bark or other mulch. The base or bottom of the planter has 7/8 " holes drilled every 6 " to drain away water. The sideboards

have a 1/4 " space between them to ventilate the mulch and keep it from getting soggy.

• The planters can be built in two different lengths, but you can also adapt them to meet any size requirement. You can even change the width

by nailing a pressure-treated 2 x2 to the side of the 2 x 12 base to accommodate a slightly wider pot.

This project gives intermediate woodworking students the opportunity to complete a sizeable project while employing such skills as measuring, templating,

crosscutting and assembly with screws. Since these planters can be made to fit a particular space, this project is also a good exercise in custom-sizing.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Good craftsmanship begins and ends with good work habits, so make

the following steps part of your routine workshop practice. If you have

any doubts or questions about how to proceed with a project, always

discuss them with your shop instructor.

• Carefully and fully review plans and instructions before putting a

tool to the project lumber.

• Work sensibly and safely. Wear safety goggles when doing work

that creates flying chips and sawdust; wear the appropriate

respirator whenever making sawdust or working with thinners

or other solvents.

• At the end of every work session, clean up your shop area and put

away all portable tools.

7. Rip (saw wood along the grain) the 5/4 x 6 deck boards to 4-1/2 "

wide to make the top apron frame. Use a table saw or a circular saw

with a rip guide. Plane and sand the cut edge to match the factory-

machined edges. Cut pieces (E) and (F) to length, making sure to

miter the ends.

8. Glue and nail the side apron pieces (E) flush with the side panels.

Then glue and nail the end apron pieces (F) to the end panels. You’ll

notice the inside edge of F will be about 1/4 " out from the inside of the

planter to adequately cover the tops of the legs. Drill the 7/8 " drain

holes in the planter bottom; space them apart about every 6 inches.

PROTECTING YOUR PROJECT

Any type of wood that’s used outdoors needs protection from water

damage. The two finishing options for this project not only provide

ample protection but also liven the wood with your choice of many

colors. The recommended finish combines Thompson’s ® Water Seal ™

Deck & House Latex or Oil Stain with Thompson’s ® Water Seal ® Clear

Wood Protector; for the alternate finish you can use Thompson’s ®

Water Seal ® Tinted Wood Protector. Both exceed industry standards

for waterproofing on wood and also provide optimum protection

from mildew and from ultraviolet (UV) damage that comes from the

sun’s radiation.

CUTTING AND ASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE

1. With a piece of cardboard, make a full-size template for the legs (A)

from a 400% enlargement of Figure B. Trace the template outline onto

the pressure-treated 2 x 12. Sand the edges with a finish or belt sander

followed by 100-grit hand sanding to ease the edges.

2. To make the cedar side and end panels (C and D), make crosscuts

with a circular saw using the Speed Square as a guide. Hold it firmly

against the back of the 2 x 6.

Woodworker’s Tip: Be sure to choose a waterproofer that claims

to exceed industry standards for waterproofing on wood.

3. Plane chamfers on the edges where the side and end panels meet, at

the lower edge of the upper end panel (D) and the upper edge of the

lower end panel (D). Similarly, plane chamfers at the lower edge of the

upper side panel (C) and the upper edge of the lower side panel (C).

These chamfers should be about 3/8 " wide when completed.

FINISHING TIPS

• When you apply Clear or Tinted Wood Protector, do not mix it with

other waterproofing products because variations in the final

appearance of the surface being treated may result. Also, do not

thin these products.

• Coverage: The approximate coverage of oil or latex stain on smooth

wood is 250 to 300 square feet per gallon. The approximate cover-

age of Clear Wood Protector on cedar is 300 to 400 square feet per

gallon. A gallon of Tinted Wood Protector will cover about 250 to

300 square feet.

Woodworker’s Tip: Clamp a board to the edge of your work-

bench to stop the work piece from drifting while you stroke the

edge of the board with the block plane.

NOTE: Before assembling the planter, you will get neater results with

the recommended finish by staining the legs and apron pieces with

the latex or oil stain first and then applying the Clear Wood Protector

to the side and end panels. See FINISHING TIPS.

Recommended Finish:

If you want distinctive color along with excellent protection, use

Thompson’s ® Water Seal ™ Deck & House Latex or Oil Stain, both of

which come in solid and semi-transparent formulations and are avail-

able in 117 ready- and custom-mixed colors. In this project, we chose

a two-tone look by using a combination of Thompson’s ® Water Seal ™

Deck & House Latex or Oil Stain with Thompson’s ® Water Seal ® Clear

Wood Protector, which marries color with the wood’s natural beauty.

4. Cut the 2 x12 base (B) to length, then screw the lower side panels

to the edges aligning the base and sides so they’re flush on the bottom

face. Pre-drill for each screw using a pilot /countersink combination

bit. Then screw the ends to the sides with 3 " deck screws.

5. Shim the base up 1-3/4 " on each side using scrap pieces of wood, then

clamp the legs one at a time to the sides. Screw the lower sides to the legs

from the inside with 2-1/2 " deck screws. Use three screws per leg.

6. Clamp the upper sides flush to the tops of the legs. Be sure to align

the upper and lower side ends before drilling and screwing these

pieces in place. Again, use three 2-1/2 " deck screws per leg. Next,

screw the upper end panels (D) to the upper sides. Make sure the

chamfers face each other on each side.

9. Before applying the latex or oil stain, read and follow the directions

found on the back of the can. To ensure good penetration, do not apply

in direct sunlight or on hot days. Be sure that both surface and air tem-

perature are above 50° F and below 95° F during application and for

48 hours after application, and do not apply product if rain is forecast

within 24 hours of application.

19. In most applications, only one light coat is necessary. Apply with

a brush, roller or by dipping the piece into the product following

directions on the can. Regardless of which application method is used,

remove excess within 15 minutes by redistributing it to drier areas or

wiping it off.

20. Use only with adequate ventilation. Oiliness and tackiness will

result if over-applied or applied to wet or damp surface or if overnight

temperature falls below 50° F within 48 hours of application. Excessive

oiliness caused by over-application may be removed by scrubbing wood

with a concentrated degreaser.

10. The surface must be free of all mildew, dust, dirt, oil, soot, grease

and other contaminants. If the surface is damp or wet from cleaning

or weather, allow the surface to dry completely (a minimum of 48 hours)

before application. Shake or mix thoroughly before application;

mechanical shaking is recommended.

21. Allow at least 48 hours to dry. Drying time will vary depending on

the substrate, temperature and humidity.

11. Since in-store color samples may vary slightly when stain is applied

to wood (based on color, texture, grain, porosity and type of wood),

apply the stain to a small test area and let it dry to determine final color

before proceeding with the entire project.

22. Clean brushes and equipment with mineral spirits, then rinse with

clean water.

12. Apply stain with an exterior paint pad, brush or roller. When

rolling, be sure to go back and brush-in stain to ensure even coverage.

When using a pad or brush, keep the leading edge wet and distribute

stain evenly. This will help avoid lap marks and keep color uniform.

NOTE: The length of protection will vary depending on environment.

Perform the splash test once a year to see whether reapplication is nec-

essary. For maximum protection from color change and other damage

caused by the sun, reapplication is recommended every year. Vertical

and horizontal surfaces will experience color changes at different rates.

13. Use only with adequate ventilation. Oiliness and tackiness will

result if over-applied or applied to wet or damp surface or if overnight

temperature falls below 50° F within 48 hours of application. Excessive

oiliness caused by over-application may be removed by scrubbing wood

with a concentrated degreaser.

Woodworker’s Tip: Unsure if you need to protect? Perform the

splash test. Sprinkle water on various sections of surface to be

sealed. If water absorbs and darkens color of substrate within

5 seconds, the surface is porous and considered ready to be

treated. If water beads up or otherwise sits on top of surface, the

surface doesn’t need protection at this time.

14. Work from top to bottom or side to side in areas small enough to

allow the leading edge to remain wet at all times during application.

Use natural breaks as boundaries to divide large areas into more man-

ageable work areas.

IMPORTANT: Place rags, steel wool and waste immediately after use in

a sealed, water-filled metal container.

15. One coat of stain is recommended, but a second coat can be

added if desired. Allow the first coat to dry thoroughly (approximately

4 hours for latex, 24 hours for oil) before second application. Drying

time will vary depending on the substrate, temperature and humidity.

PRODUCT SAFETY

For your safety and the safety of those you work with, always read the

safety warnings, which manufacturers print on their labels, and follow

them to the letter. Typical safety advice and instructions will contain

information such as the following:

16. For oil-base stain, clean brushes and equipment with mineral

spirits, then rinse with clean water. For latex stain, clean brushes

and equipment with soap and water.

WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means

may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust

or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects,

especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead

or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective

equipment, such as properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and

proper containment and cleanup. For more information, call the

National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or

contact your local health authority.

17. To apply Thompson’s ® Water Seal ® Clear Wood Protector to the

body, follow the directions given for the alternate finish.

Alternate Finish:

18. For a traditional one-tone color finish, before applying

Thompson’s ® Water Seal ® Tinted Wood Protector over the entire

surface, a small trial patch is recommended to determine the

desired look.
