A few hours of work and you will have this beautiful brand new plant stand for your balcony.

I made this plant stand using only a drill, brush and drill, but it is even doable without having the power tools. This project is perfect for a beginner woodworker.

Supplies

Supplies:

2 pieces of 625 x 170 mm laminated timber
2 pcs 170 x 170 mm laminated timber
1 pc 170 x 590 mm laminated timber

Wood glue
Screws
Wooden sticks with a diameter of 10 mm, 200 mm
Oil or lack for the finishing (must be suitable for outdoor use)

Tools:
Drill
Brush
Japanese saw

Installing the Sides

Cut yourself or ask at the Wood Department the laminated beam to cut to the size shown in the intro.

Attach all sides and install them with the screws using the drill.

Carving the Joineries

Mark the center of the wooden stick and draw the lines where you have to carve. Use a Japanese saw and a chisel to do this. Sand all the surfaces so it feels nice and smooth.

Building the Legs

Glue stitches, attach feet to each other and leave it under pressure to dry. Meanwhile, sand the box.

Glue the legs to the box, leave 80 mm of space on both sides. Now attach the screws using the drill and let it dry.

Finishing

Once more give some love with the sanding paper, clean the dust carefully and cover the plant stand with oil or polisher.
