By popular demand of my wife, a redux of Keyhole planter

[LCHIEN]

The one in the middle is a cedar keyhole planter from 2015. https://www.sawdustzone.org/forum/di...ter-a-few-pics

I think I cut off an inch or so of weather/rot damaged wood on the bottom, so its a little worse for 19 years wear. My wife requested another one so of course, I made two more, since jigging up and setting up cuts is usually half the work. I stole the idea for the keyholes from an article, but I Made many improvements so I'm kind of proud of my version.

It was a lot of fun. Used a whole lot of clamps and glue, Used table saw, miter saw, router, trim router, plate joiner/biscuits, dowels, half laps and dado, my own miter clamp jigs, my 45 miter jig for the BT3 SMT, and a whole lot of woodworking problem solving.
I used only a few metal fasteners... some micro pins to hold the mitered corner "L" moldings together as they glued, and four deck screws to hold the triangular corner supports for the heavy pot. Made a jig to drill the corners and then covered the screw with the "L" moldings.










When I took them off I counted 29 clamps... I don't know where the extra one was.

A little rain really makes the cedar grain pop!

I was on your side of town yesterday. A little rain is like saying World War 2 was a little disagreement between nations.
