Hi all,
So having prepared my timber for production on a planer and using the TS75 to square and cut to width, it was time to make the box.
You only need one tool.. the Domino.
Pic 1 shows the basic frame of one panel.
Pic 2 shows the panel dominoed together
Pic 3 shows the Domino ready to produce the 5mm trenches for the panels and base. You can see the 23mm plastic collar in place on the piston.
Pic 4 shows one assembled frame with the trenches routed with the Domino
Pic 5 shows the assembled unit. Note that this is a dry assembly. I might get round to gluing it if it starts to move.
The timbers I used are Peruvian Walnut and Alpine Ash.
The whole process took about 2-21/2 hours.(including prep time for the timber.)
Regards,
Rob

Wow Rob. When I saw on the main page "planter box" I didn't expect it to be this nice. Great job.

I think he's got that for depth control. Another cool way to do that is with a metal shock bushing.

Hi Reg,
Bill's right. The orange piece is a length of electrical conduit cut to a specific length to allow for a mortise (or dado) of less than 10mm.
The formula for setting the depth of cut is;
28mm-(depth of cut desired)=length of conduit in mm.
Then all you need do is place the collar onto one of the plunge pistons. Be sure to use conduit that will not be tight on the piston.
Regards,
Rob
