Holes… got a chuckle out of that one.

Love this channel, keep up the excellent work!

Welcome back, Glen. The best builder of home projects on the net. Stay well.

I stopped doing wood working four 4 years do to the fact the I lost my father and almost my mother and my self. Now I have put all that behind me and I just got back on doing woodworking again. I saw many woodworking YouTube channels and I got to say I love your channel. It inspires me a lot thank you. I just subscribed to your channel 3 weeks ago. You got a new follower. I would like to see a coffee table/drink table with bottle holders that can match the planter and chair that you built 3 weeks ago. God bless you.

[ThoroughlyRespected]

As always, your projects inspire us all. I'd love to see a space saving wardrobe closet from you with your personal touches added. Keep up the good work Glen!

Dude i just love how approachable your style is, and how followable (is that a word?) your narration is. Everything is well thought out.

A dry-fit tip i saw recently was get some dowels and sand them to smaller than the Dowelmax holes - the dye them a color so they stand out. Use these for dry fits so they come apart easily and the color means you can just store them for dry-fit test runs.

Yay. Dowelmax. One of the best purchases I have made.
It's expensive - but you absolutely get what you pay for. The inventor, Jim, is a really good guy. It will take projects to the next level and do so quickly.

This was a game-changer for my home decor aspirations! The video not only provided practical guidance on crafting a stylish planter but also sparked my creativity with the idea of incorporating two-tone finishes.

Nice - next a drink table with drink holders😊

[CGTaper]

Female who loves crafts... love this project and your method!! I definitely need that tool!!

[lindacurtis-smith]

I like the idea of a closet organization build, but for continuing the outdoor theme, a removable drink/snack holder might be cool. Thank you for sharing Glen. :)

[danielhanawalt]

The two tone build made it stunning. Beautiful work.

[lawrenberghanson]

Nice work! To go with the pieces you just made, a coffee table with storage. Maybe one that has a top that extensions higher to put a laptop on. OR!! If you are a boardgame nerd like me, a boardgame table. 🤓😁

[someguynj]

Nearly fell off my chair laughing when I figured out why you were extra clear about drilling "holes". Another great video. Actually about to build a version of your $50 desk to cover an electric piano in my office for video calls.

[philip]

Cool series. Liked both videos / pieces. Next piece? Maybe a side table... or something unexpected like a dog feeder... 😂

[ilovebbq]

Well, I've always wanted to build an all wood electronics workbench. One that I could use a regular race chair with not a stool. The last few days I have been thinking of your videos for inspiration. That is one idea.

[guyh.]

A couple of questions/comment I have are 1) did you coat the inside of the planter with any water sealant such as truck bed liner, etc. 2) Did you drill any drainage holes for excess water? 3) Did you place a drip pan underneath?

Glad you're back Glenn!🎉🎉🎉

[christineadams]

I love the planter it's beautiful I love all your projects I'm here for it all whatever you do fantastic job

[alleycaaat]

It never ceases to amaze me how long a simple project can take. I'm notorious for thinking "nah, that won't take long!" and then getting sucked into making it absolutely perfect and dropping hours into the project.

[shawncoleman]

love watching all your video. you give me the confidence to tackle issues around me home.
