Simple DIY Herb Planter Box – Beginner Woodworking from Skillshare

Overview

I found this fantastic online class that’s perfect for beginning woodworkers. In this class, you’ll learn how to create two small herb planter boxes using just three redwood or cedar fence boards. The instructor provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step guidance throughout the process, along with downloadable plans, making it simple to follow along at home!

What’s really cool about this class is that it also covers some woodworking basics, like measuring and marking lumber, pre-drilling screw holes, and the proper and safe use of power saws. Plus, there’s an optional segment where you can learn how to apply a shou sugi ban finish to the wood using a flame, which adds a unique touch of color to the final product. All you’ll need to start is some cedar or redwood fence boards, 1-1/2″ galvanized screws, a handheld drill, and a saw. Give it a try and elevate your woodworking skills!
