Introduction: Wood Planter With Casters
For a school assignment, I have decided to make a wooden planter with casters. With the quarantine, I was not able to go out to buy supplies so I used some wood lying around in the house.
Supplies
Material
- wood planks
- 2'' caster wheels (4)
- 6d 2'' nails (30)
- #6 1'' screws (12)
Tools
- hand saw
- circular sander
- hammer
- screw driver
- power drill
Step 1: Measure and Cut
The measurements:
- A: 26'' x 5.5'' x 0.75'' (2)
- B: 26'' x 2.75'' x 0.75'' (2)
- C: 10'' x 5.5'' x 0.75'' (2)
- D: 10'' x 2.75'' x 0.75'' (2)
- E: 26'' x 11.5'' x 0.75'' (1)
- 2'' swivel caster (4)
Cut the wood to the measurement using hand saw.
Use the circular sander to adjust the size and smooth the surface.
Step 2: Assemble
- Attach the two D's to E to the two short ends using 2 nails each.
- Attach the two A's to E to the two long ends using 7 nails each.
- Attach the two C's on top of the D's using 2 nails each.
- Attach the two B's on top of the A's using 4 nails each.
- Attach the swivel casters on the bottom of E, one on each corner, using 3 screws each.
Step 3: Complete
The planter is now complete and you can put in flower pots inside. You can move the planter to your place of preference.
