    The post on Window boxes/planter boxes prompted me to post these backyard projects.

    I enjoy making stuff out of cedar fence pickets and sometimes salvaged fence posts for the yard.


    Here's my humble back yard

    Above picture, L-R Birdfeeder, birdhouse and hanging basket
    stand. On the fence, carpenter bee trap. A couple of window planter boxes that ended up against the fence with a climbing trellis built to the stand. The one on the right is 15 years old or more and is really falling apart. And a birdfeeder far right and birdhouse on the stand, too.

    Like I said, almost all cedar pickets and some of them pretty old now. The table uses some ceramic tile samples we got and I threw the table together very quickly - the apron had been made before - it works great to set groceries down when moving them from the car to the house.

    Ah here is the link to the Keyhole planter; how it looked 15 years ago. https://www.sawdustzone.org/forum/di...ter-a-few-pics

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
